MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / July 2008Word won't send email merge
I just switched to Office 2007 at work, and I am in the middle of a huge email merge where I send out 500 emails a day using this feature. I have done it fine three times in my old Windows 2003, but I went to go do it today with Office 2007 and Word went through and acted like it was sending it, but nothing showed up in my Sentbox or Outbox. I also got no replies or bounces....what is happening and how do I fix it? This question comes up from time to time, but unfortunately no-one seems to know the cause of the problem. If you can switch to using a plain text e-mail and deal with the security questions, that will probably function. Otherwise, the best I can suggest is that you follow the general troubleshooting steps described in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/813514/en-us I would probably try the safe mode option first, and ay particular attention to the items concerning your Outlook Profile. If that, or anything else, leads to a resolution, plase post back here!

I did a test email merge to myself using the plain text and it worked. So then I tried the same thing with an html and it worked. So then I sent it to my list and it seemed to work (I have 499 of 500 emails in my sentbox, at least). So I don't know what the deal is. I'm not sure how I was supposed to use that link - as it takes me to troubleshooting for error messages, but I never had an error message - it just acted like it sent it, but nothing showed up in my outlook. > This question comes up from time to time, but unfortunately no-one seems to > know the cause of the problem.

So I don't know what the deal is. That's interesting in itself. Are you saying that your merge to HTML email is now working, or merely that it looks like it is working (i.e. the emails are in your sentbox/Sent items, but you cannot yet tell whether any of them have arrived) > I'm not sure how I was supposed to use that link - as it takes me to > troubleshooting for error messages, but I never had an error message - it > just acted like it sent it, but nothing showed up in my outlook. I posted the link because it contains general information and links about how to do various kinds of repair to your Outlook installation - for example, how to recreate an Outlook profile. Sometimes, doing general repairs can be useful even when you have not been able to identify the fault or its origin.

The real test will be when I go to send more again tomorrow - whether it works or not. > > I did a test email merge to myself using the plain text and it worked.

(Perhaps a solution to the "disappearing HTML email merges" is to do one "plain text email merge" and try the HTML e-merge again.)
