Merge going to Outlook Express Outbox instead of MS Outlook 2003
I am trying a mail merge from MS Word 2003. I am importing a list of
addresses from an excel spreadsheet. However when I am trying to send the message it tries to send via my Outlook Express(though my default mail client is MS Outlook) and comes up with the following error : "The host 'SMTP' could not be found. Please verify that you have entered the server name correctly. Account: 'POP3', Server: 'SMTP', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 11001, Error Number: 0x800CCC0D" I then tried to mail merge through my MS Outlook 2003 and its doing the same thing. All these messages are sitting in my Outlook Express outbox. |

Merge going to Outlook Express Outbox instead of MS Outlook 20
Hi Peter,
I havent done or changed any settings to try and send it via Outlook Express. This is the first time I'm trying email merge. Never done it before. The email address are just normal like etc...just a list of all the clients interested in a particular program and I am wanting to send them the email. I have checked in internet options and MS Outlook 2003 is my default email client. This morning I changed it in MS Outlook 2003 under tools--options--other and now it has even stopped going to my Express outbox. It just doesnt work...If I try to attempt send/receive now from MS Outlook 2003 I am getting the following error: "Task 'POP3 - Receiving' reported error (0x80040900) : 'The server name you entered can not be found on the network (it might be down temporarily). Please verify that you are online and that the server name is correct.' Please Help !!! "Peter Jamieson" wrote: What did you do to try to send via Outlook 2003 rather than Outlook Express? What do the e-mail addresses in the Excel column you specified in the merge look like? Do they look like normal e-mail addresses, e.g. and so on? Can you give an example (anonymised if necessary)?

Merge going to Outlook Express Outbox instead of MS Outlook 20
Hi Peter,
Just an update on the issue below, I have just realised its not sending only if i select the option HTML in the Electronic mail, its working fine for attachment and plain text. However I need to send the message as HTML. Looking forward to your reply. Thanks, Sharon "Sharon" wrote: Hi Peter, I havent done or changed any settings to try and send it via Outlook Express.

OK, for HTML mail you /must/ use Outlook 2003: Outlook Express definitely
won't do it. But it's also possible that some configurations of Outlook 2003 won't do it (i.e. it may depend on what server you're using, and so on).

Merge going to Outlook Express Outbox instead of MS Outlook 20
OK,
a. it should have sent via Outlook 2003 before. I don't know why it didn't. b. the reason it probably won't work via Outlook Express at the moment is probably because you haven't set up an Outlook Express account (or at least, not the SMTP "send" part of it). c. if you need to get your merge to email emails out then you may have to use Outlook Express for the moment, in which case you'll need to set up an e-mail account. I'm not going to try to lead you through that but let's just say that if your Outlook 2003 account is set up to receive via POP3 and send via SMTP then the Outlok Express settings should be the same or similar: you should be able to copy them by hand. Is your Outlook 2003 e-mail set up to use POP3/SMTP, or do you normally go via an Exchange server or some other sort of server?

Merge going to Outlook Express Outbox instead of MS Outlook 20
Hey Peter,
My Outlook is setup to use Exchange Server. I have no idea why its not sending as HTML. It goes fine as attachments and plain text. Its a newsletter so HAS to go as HTML. I tried doing it through Word 2003 and Outlook 2003 but still same. Sharon "Peter Jamieson" wrote: OK, a. it should have sent via Outlook 2003 before.

Merge going to Outlook Express Outbox instead of MS Outlook 20
Hold on a minute - I'm now confused again. Are you saying that you have been
able to merge to e-mail via Word 2003 and Outlook 2003? But only non-HTML mails? Typically when you merge to Outlook 2003 you get a number of security prompts (unless you're using HTML) - are you seeing those?
