If i select people in my contacts to send out an email, it wont send. It just
gives me a parameter error. But, if i manually type the same email, it will
work. I looked in the contacts, and the email addresses are correct. I did
notice, however, that when i select a contact, outlook puts ' ' around the
addresses. When i removed the ' ' it works. Could this be the issues? If so,
how do i fix this?
 
You didn't specify the method used for recipient selection.
How were these Contacts created?
Are their email addresses resolved?
 
The used to be associated with an exchange server email account, but now
we've moved over to godaddy. So, i backed up and created the pst file, but
when imported, the contacts are there but doesnt work if i click on one and
try to email them. It just gets stuck in the outbox with errors. The errors
aren't specific. But if i open the email in the outbox, delete the email
address and then type it manually, it works.
 
Well i got it working. I exported contacts to excel and viewed the contact
list. Every email address had ' before the address, so i meticulously removed
that from every email. Also, i had to remove the ' from every email type as
well. But either way, it was a pain, but at least it works.
 
Here is the lesson you should have learned: You never transfer Outlook data
using export and import. Doing so causes just this kind of problem.
Lesson 2: provide this information when you ask others for help instead of
expecting them to figure out what you did wrong.
