At work, we use Outlook and Outlook Express for email. There is an internal email server, with email addresses such as joe.bloggs@internal - Oultook Express had no problem with this, but Outlook 2003 will not accept it!! It's happy with a something.something after the @, but no dot after the @ and it goes nuts!
For example. I go to add a new contact, enter "Joe Bloggs" in the "Full Name" Field, and enter "joe.bloggs@internal" in the "Email" field, then click "save and close", and I get the stupid message "Microsoft Office Outlook does not recognise "joe.bloggs@internal"", and offers to let me add a new contact, which takes me round in circles!!! I can click cancel at this point, and the contact is added, but if I try to send him an email, it says I must "first enter a valid email address for this contact".
I can get addresses into Outlook if I import an address list in CSV format, but I can't add people with non-standard addresses individually.
Surely there must be a way to turn off email address validation?
I can't even send a one-off email (without adding to contacts) to joe.bloggs@internal - Outlook again "doesn't recognise" it.
