Hi Brian, Not particularly, it is just that when I add two or three or so
names in BCC it just hangs for several seconds between each one before entering, and does the same thing when I press send? A friend of mine said I may have a bug, so I should do a complete check of C drive? I am about to try that??

Do you mean there's a delay before Outlook resolves the address (i.e., underlines it)? Is this with a Contacts folder in a local PST? -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |

Yes Brian, thats exactly what its doing, if I receive an email from a person
that I think is worth sharing I forward it on by going into my contacts and choosing names from there and sending it off. I have been doing that for ages, it is only the last couple of weeks I have had this problem? "Oh" as I said, a friend thought I should scan my PC, which I did and it did not resolve the problem. I am not sure what a PST is?

I should have asked if you were using an Exchange mailbox to store your data. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |

Hi again, I simply have a list of contact friends and family, which when I am
going to forward an email on I just select "forward" and choose names from that list to send to, as for an exchange mailbox? I simply use my ISP which is Optusnet here in Australia and Microsoft Outlook. Sorry if I am a bit vague....not as young as I used to be :-) "Brian Tillman" wrote: horrob wrote: Yes Brian, thats exactly what its doing, if I receive an email from a person that I think is worth sharing I forward it on by going into my contacts and choosing names from there and sending it off.

I simply use my ISP which is Optusnet here in Australia and Microsoft Outlook. OK, you're using a PST and a POP/SMTP account. If this were happening to me, I think I'd try a new mail profile. I'm not sure it would help, but a new profile addresses many problems not addressable any other way. See this: http://www.howto-outlook.com/faq/newprofile.htm . Connect your existing PST top this new profile; don't start a new PST. Sorry if I am a bit vague....not as young as I used to be :-) Many of us are in that same boat! -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |

Thank you Brian, it all seems pretty involved, but if all else fails I will
give a try. I thought if Outlook was corrupted could I not simply put in my Win. XP disc and re-run it?
