"Often, but not now..." provides no real clues as to what is going wrong.
You'll need to provide the actual steps to reproduce the problem and the
exact method by which you are selecting your recipient. That message simply
means the recipient you selected does not have a valid electronic address.
Exporting and importing is one good way to corrupt your electronic
addresses.

Often, altho I just tried it and it didn't happen, when I create a new
message and click send, Outlook doesn't find the contact (it's been
underlined as found) and shows that window. When I click "show more
names"
it's always one past the name I typed. I've deleted and re-imported all
the
contacts, but this continues. It's Outlook 2002 SR 3.
