Outlook 2007 won’t send mail, send/receive dialog flashes rapidly

I also found this solution out of desparation however it is not very
practical for a
a. large address book
b. distribution list
and it is @@@@ annoying.
I've assumed up to now it has to do with synchronising via an iPAQ/windows
CE between O2007 and O2003.
Problem has never happened with my Outlook2003, only Vista/Outlook2007.
Where is the solution????????????

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.

I have just had this probelm yet again. Couldn't remember how to fix it.
Searched the web and guess what... I found my own post of the solution. How
sad/wonderful is that?
