for some reason one of the computers using Outlook (not express) here will not send email to recipients who's info is not in the address book. An error message reading: OUTLOOK DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THIS NAME appears. Any ideas?

Are you entering valid email addresses? ([email protected])
Or are you just entering names? (john doe)

Outlook will allow you to enter "John Doe" only as long as you have a "John Doe" in your address book (as it performs a lookup for the address).
