MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / February 2008E-mail "stuck" in Outbox in OL 07
Got new PC in August. Did Easy Transfer to get contacts/e-mails into OL 07. Worked fine. PC crashed 2 weeks ago. Got new Main Hard Drive (running 2nd RAID drive) Manually imported .pst files into OL 07 from non-fried RAID drive. E-mail addresses from address book "hang" in outbox going nowhere. Manually typed in ones go fine. Please describe in lay-terms the steps I need to take to rememdy this problem Thanks a bunch. Amy :) You never use Easy Transfer with Outlook. You never import Outlook data files. You open Outlook files in Outlook. Instructions to follow: 1. File > Open > Outlook Data File...

Again, I'm PC > lieterate for the most part, but I do need need lay terms step by > stpe. Thanks so much for your time and hlp! Don't delete anything. Don't import anything. Your easiest approach might be to create a new mail profile and reuse your existing, original PST. http://www.howto-outlook.com/faq/newprofile.htm . Make sure you get into the habit of creating backups. http://www.howto-outlook.com/howto/backupandrestore.htm SignatureBrian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] > ajclay...@gmail.com <ajclay...@gmail.com> wrote: > > OK, but do I start by deleting ALL my contacts I have right now?

[quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > -- > Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] Well, I though it was taken care of, but when I went to send a message to several ppl in my address book, the message still got "stuck" in the outbox and the little "mail" icon in my lower right system tray was blinking over and over as if it was trying to send over and over again. Any ideas for this, besdies what we have tried already? Try this. Display your contacts in a phone list view. Select all and drag to your inbox. A new mail message will be created with all of your contacts email addresses. Again, select all in the To field and then press Alt+K to resolve them all. Close the message and do not save. Now try to send a new mail message. SignatureMilly Staples [MVP - Outlook] Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact. All unsolicited mail sent to my personal account will be deleted without reading.

Any ideas for this, besdies what we have tried already? Nope...didn't work either. Still stuck and still doing the crazy blinking action. When I type in my addresses manually in the TO field t however many recipients, it's fine. It's only when I try to access the address book feature that this happens. Any other ideas?

It seems apparent that you have something misconfigured, but there's no way for us to tell exactly what that might be without being able to see your PC. The only remaining advice is to "start over and be VERY careful to enter the correct data." SignatureBrian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |
