  • Microsoft Outlook Express version 4.0 for Windows 95

SYMPTOMS

When you press CTRL+K to resolve an e-mail address in Outlook Express, the address may not be resolved.

RESOLUTION

There are three ways to work around this issue:

  • Close the Select Recipients dialog box, and then press CTRL+K.
  • Click the Check Names button on the toolbar to resolve the e-mail address.
  • On the Tools menu, click Check Names to resolve the e-mail address.
