XCLN: Cannot Resolve Name When Sending To SMTP Address Using Browser

• Microsoft Exchange Windows 95 client, versions 4.0 and 5.0
• Microsoft Exchange Windows NT client, versions 4.0, 5.0

SYMPTOMS

When you attempt to send to an SMTP recipient via an Internet browser over the MailTo: Protocol (URL), you may not be able to resolve the recipient[ASCII 146]s name or add that SMTP address to a personal address book.

This feature was added in Exchange 4.0 Service Pack 2 (Build 4.0.993).

WORKAROUND

Uncheck the Use Simplified Form to Send From Other Applications option by doing the following:

1. Start the Microsoft Exchange Client.



2. From the Options menu, click Tools.



3. Click the Send tab.



4. Clear the Use Simplified Form to Send From Other Applications check box.
