I have done a little investigating and the problem is :

If you have contacts in outlook and use a Display as name in the contact
details. Where it adds the persons real name infront of the email address
which is in brackets. And then you use the contact finder when composing a
new email address. Outlook pastes the name and email in the To field of the
email window.

If you send the email like that it will throw outlook into a loop when you
hit send/receive.

If in fact you type the email in using just the email address outlook does
fine.

Is there any sort of workaround for this. It kind of makes having contacts
useless if you can't use them to compose new emails.

Thank you

There is no thread here. What you post does not make sense. State your issue
and the steps to reproduce it that support your claim. Include all relevant
details. There are none here.

I am using Windows Vista Ultimate, with Outlook 2007.

When I add contacts to emails using the select names:contacts dialog box and
send an email out. Outlook goes into a NEVER ENDING SEND and RECEIVE LOOP.

The email doesnt go out. and I have to terminate outlook in the task manager.

But on the other hand if I type in the email address directly into an new
outlook email message. It is fine.

That suggests that the addresses you have stored in your Contacts Folder are
not valid or resolved. See if they are. If you ever imported these Contacts
you probably corrupted them.
Create a new Contact from scratch and see if you can send to it.

Hi Russ,

Yes I tried that, and it works. It emails fine. but does that mean I have to
re-enter all my contacts.. They are synced using the new Windows Mobile 6
from my HP IPAQ. I have never run into this before. Is there any other
suggestions that I could try before I re-enter my contacts

Thanks

Are you saying you created these Contacts via a synch from a Mobile device?
If you simply open and save one of these contacts can you then send an email
to that Contact?

Hi Russ,

I did that and I think that solves the problem. I open the contact and close
it. Then tried to send and no loop.

Perhaps it doesnt import them properly somehow. Anyways I think the problem
is solved.

Thank you very much

Unfortunately, creating Contacts by importing them or by synchronization
will fail to resolve the electronic addresses. That means you won't be able
to use Outlook's address service to send mail to these Contacts until you
resolve the addresses. Always transfer Outlook data directly by copying the
Outlook data file and opening it in the other installation.

Russ,

Unfortunately I have exactly the same problems as Dave, using exactly the
same software versions. In my case, mindful of problems I've previously
experienced with old format and/or corrupted pst files, when I upgraded from
Outlook 2003 I created a shiny new empty pst file. Then I opened the old 2003
pst file and copied everything from it to my new file. Finally I closed the
old file. Now, under conditions I haven't quite got my finger on yet, Outlook
loops on send/receive, the message is not sent and I have to terminate
Outlook.

And yes, I too have a Windows Mobile device, 2003R2 in my case. But I
deleted everything from it before setting up a new partnership and filling it
with the contents of my new pst file.

So there seems to be more to this than problems caused by importing or
synchronising.

RS
