Outlook 2007 and Vista (Send/Receive Loop)

[Dave]

I have done a little investigating and the problem is :

If you have contacts in outlook and use a Display as name in the contact
details. Where it adds the persons real name infront of the email address
which is in brackets. And then you use the contact finder when composing a
new email address. Outlook pastes the name and email in the To field of the
email window.

If you send the email like that it will throw outlook into a loop when you
hit send/receive.

If in fact you type the email in using just the email address outlook does
fine.

Is there any sort of workaround for this. It kind of makes having contacts
useless if you can't use them to compose new emails.

Thank you

There is no thread here. What you post does not make sense. State your issue
and the steps to reproduce it that support your claim. Include all relevant

I am using Windows Vista Ultimate, with Outlook 2007.

When I add contacts to emails using the select names:contacts dialog box and
send an email out. Outlook goes into a NEVER ENDING SEND and RECEIVE LOOP.

The email doesnt go out. and I have to terminate outlook in the task manager.

But on the other hand if I type in the email address directly into an new
outlook email message. It is fine.

That suggests that the addresses you have stored in your Contacts Folder are
not valid or resolved. See if they are. If you ever imported these Contacts
you probably corrupted them.
Create a new Contact from scratch and see if you can send to it.

Hi Russ,

Yes I tried that, and it works. It emails fine. but does that mean I have to
re-enter all my contacts.. They are synced using the new Windows Mobile 6
from my HP IPAQ. I have never run into this before. Is there any other
suggestions that I could try before I re-enter my contacts

Thanks

Are you saying you created these Contacts via a synch from a Mobile device?
If you simply open and save one of these contacts can you then send an email

Hi Russ,

I did that and I think that solves the problem. I open the contact and close
it. Then tried to send and no loop.

Perhaps it doesnt import them properly somehow. Anyways I think the problem
is solved.

Unfortunately, creating Contacts by importing them or by synchronization
will fail to resolve the electronic addresses. That means you won't be able
to use Outlook's address service to send mail to these Contacts until you
resolve the addresses. Always transfer Outlook data directly by copying the
Outlook data file and opening it in the other installation.

Russ,

Unfortunately I have exactly the same problems as Dave, using exactly the
same software versions. In my case, mindful of problems I've previously
experienced with old format and/or corrupted pst files, when I upgraded from
Outlook 2003 I created a shiny new empty pst file. Then I opened the old 2003
pst file and copied everything from it to my new file. Finally I closed the
old file. Now, under conditions I haven't quite got my finger on yet, Outlook
loops on send/receive, the message is not sent and I have to terminate
Outlook.

And yes, I too have a Windows Mobile device, 2003R2 in my case. But I
deleted everything from it before setting up a new partnership and filling it
with the contents of my new pst file.

So there seems to be more to this than problems caused by importing or
synchronising.

Russ, I have to sync my Microsoft Pocket PC version 4.20.0 Smartphone daily
with my Contacts for my work. I have been doing this doing without a problem
for 5 years but when I upgraded from XP Professional + Outlook 2003 to a new
Vista Notebook + OUTLOOK 2007 in March 2007 -> Outlook 2007 goes into a NEVER
ENDING SEND and RECEIVE LOOP as described by Dave. After suffering with NO
help from Microsocf Support or HP Support and logging the problem in
Microsoft TECH Forum on 10 March 2007
http://forums.microsoft.com/TechNet/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1328538&SiteID=17 I
gave up recently and loaded Outlook 2003 and have has no problems since.
THUS, this is either a OUTLOOK 2007 problem OR it is a WINDOWS MOBILE DEVICE
problem syncing with OUTLOOK 2007. As I said above, I need to sync my
Microsoft Pocket PC version 4.20.0 Smartphone daily with my Contacts for my
work. I am really sick and fed up with MICROSOFT making their customers
responsible for MICROSOFT's mess-ups. WHEN IS MOCROSOFT GOING TO CLEAN UP
THEIR MESS AND FIX THIS BUG SO I CAN USE THESE VERY EXPENSIVE MICROSOFT
SOFTWARE PRODUCTS THAT DON'T WORK TOGETHER?????

More details on how you are selecting the recipients, how you copied the
data, and how you configured the Outlook Address Book are required even to

[Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]]

It's not an Outlook 2007 problem. Problems with synchronization are totally
within the purview of the synch software. Personally, I never use a new
version of Outlook for synchronization for at least a year after it's been
released. I have never found any benefit to being an early adopter. Only
grief.

 

[Hoops]

Russ, I was using Microsoft ActiveSync 4.5 software with Outlook 2003 on XP
Professional on my old Notebook. To transfer from one computer to another
Microsoft provide transfer software. The Microsoft transfer software
provided by VISTA is the VISTA Backup and Restore Centre. As instructed I
copied the VISTA Backup and Restore Centre software utility to my XP Notebook
- I ran it as instructed which created a Transfer Log and then, as
instructed, I Restored this to my Vista Notebook. That transferred my
contacts into Outlook 2007. Thereafter I have synced using the only software
that works with VISTA which is Microsoft's Mobile device Centre. This keeps
my contacts current with my Smartphone mobile computer. As needed, I have
tried to forward emails received to addresses in my contacts by clicking on
the "To" field which takes me to "name select" in contacts and then clicking
on the recipient’s name and hitting send.

All very simple & straight forward and as Microsoft instructs us to do..

So as I understand it Russ, you say that Microsoft's Mobile device Centre is
crap and not 10% as good as Microsoft ActiveSync 4.5? If so, I agree with
you.

What is the solution being offered by Microsoft?? I would expect with such
a basic problem as this that Microsoft would be bending over backwards to fix
it - but they aren’t?? It is as if they simply don't care that their
products don't work as they sell them to.

Do you have a fix to this problem that will allow me to sync my contacts
daily with my Smartphone and to be able to sent emails using my Outlook 2007
& contacts.?

[Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]]

The point I was making is that it takes a long time for synchronization
software to get updated to the point it is totally reliable with a new
Outlook version, even if it is Microsoft's own synchronization software. For
that reason, I never attempt to use a new Outlook version as the database
for a synchronization program until it is at least a year out of release. I
also don't use a new OS or Office version on my production partition until a
year more after its release. Half of the third party apps and drivers I need
won't work with a new OS or Office version for at least a year. I have a lot
of headaches already. I do not need the headache of being an early adopter.

As for the rest of your question, the other point I would make is that I
never rely on an operating system's "automatic transfer" utilities to
transfer Outlook data. I have never seen one yet that can transfer Outlook
data reliably.

No, you may not put words in my mouth as to what is "crap" and what isn't. I
have no idea what Microsoft's stance is on any of this. I'm sure they are
convinced that their products are 100% reliable and compatible as soon as
they RTM, so there is no "solution" needed. I'm only imparting my own
personal experience and "street smarts."

I never quite understand why people who rush to adopt all the latest
software releases expect those disparate programs to work flawlessly
together right away. Common sense would dictate a more careful and
thoughtful approach to the adoption of new technology. There are countless
parallels to that wisdom in other venues where the stakes are often much
higher. Read up on the problems created by the early widespread adoption of
drug-eluting coronary stents. Life teaches you lessons when you pay
attention.

Russ, if you are not part of the solution then, you are part of the problem.

We are not EARLY ADOPTERS we are MICROSOFT RAPE VICTIMS.

It is not helpful that you blame us as the victims of Microsoft Rape for
being raped. We can’t be blamed for expecting a product that we have
purchased to be fit for its purpose – some like me were forced to buy this
product because I needed a new laptop.

As a medical professional you should know better than to take a criticising
approach to a victim. I guess being a cardiologist you don't need to show
any sympathy with the general public (or Microsoft Rape Victims).

Being so, so superior is not a good look you, Russ!!!

I recently started having the same looping error, but my data was imported
from my old Outlooik 2003 PST to a band new Outlook 2007 PST.

Everything worked fine, untill today. Now I get the looping error.

I have recently I installed the new Mobile Device Software and re-sync'd my
pda (XDA Orbit). So the cotacts were already in outlook prior to sync. The
PDS was originally populated from Outlook, so there should have been nothing
to update.

Havind read this post (Thanks David - made perfect sense to me), I took one
of the email that was causing the loop, and replaced the outlook inserted
displayname on the To field with the actual email address. The email then
sent fine with no problem...

So there is possibly a link to the sync, but I belive the problem is
outlook's resolving of email addresses from display names (which may have
been caused by the sync / precense of Mobile Device Centre software)

PS: finding and reporting these problem are the reason the 1 year old
versions are stable. All good...
