Outlook 2007 won’t send mail, send/receive dialog flashes rapidly
Outlook 2007 on Vista Business. From a website on Alaskan Ketchikan Hummer
adventures, I clicked a list to send them an inquiry email. The link opened a blank email in Outlook. When I went to send the email, the email wouldn’t send, and the send/receive dialog box flashed rapidly and it displayed information indicating that it was sending email after email, rapidly advancing to over 300 messages. I could not delete the message, getting the message that Outlook was transmitting it, but it still displayed in the Outbox. I ran Windows LiveOneCare, which found no problems, then ran the latest Spybot Defender, which found and deleted three tracking cookies. The email finally sent, but when I tried to send test messages using different accounts the same symptoms occurred—messages stuck in the Outbox, flashing send/receive dialog, and Task Manager as the only way to exit the program. I uninstalled and reinstalled Outlook, cleaned out the Vista temp file, checked account settings (all correct), and started Outlook in Safe Mode. Same problems. Yikes. Any ideas? Thanks very much, |

I had a similar problem. I used the Task Manger (CTRL+ALT+DEL) to force a
shut down of Outlook 2007. I then reopened Outlook 2007 and went straight to the Outbox and deleted the offending email. I then immediately shut down Outlook again and restarted. It worked fine after that. "RJ" wrote: Outlook 2007 on Vista Business. From a website on Alaskan Ketchikan Hummer adventures, I clicked a list to send them an inquiry email.

I have now had this issue on two laptops using completely different ISPs and
email providers... the common thread has been that they both have two POP accounts. Removing either of the POP email accounts fixes the problem. I now have them setup using two Outlook profiles.

I had this problem and found the solution somewhere on the MS site (but I cannot refind it). I have just had it again. The problem is that outlook sometimes formats the 'display as' email address with a comma eg 'ABC Co (Smith, Steve)' or something similar. This screws up Outlook send/receive which flashes and reitereates tasks up to hundreds of attempts. To resolve it simply amend the email address in the offending email (it is still in the Outbox) to or whatever and hit send. Dont forget to amend it in your contacts too. Hope this helps. Chris L |

Thank You Loveys
Having fought this for a while now, your tip on amending the email addresses that populate via both "Contacts" and the nickname file worked!

Office07 works nicely before it behaved exactly like RJ mentioned without
apparent reason. Since I did not add any new contact I doubt the problem could come from the display bug Loveys mentioned. That's why I did not try Loveys solution yet.

I found the problem. I sent an email yesterday but it stuck in the outbox. It
turn out I did update one of my contact in the past but after saving the updated information the old contact with the same "display name" is still in the list. I deleted the old contact and problem solved. "Norko" wrote: Office07 works nicely before it behaved exactly like RJ mentioned without apparent reason.
