Hi All,
Sorry if this has been covered previously, but I have looked and cannot find it.
I am using Office 2010 (all components).
I am doing a mail-merge using a Word document as the document to be sent and An Excel sheet contains the recipients to be merged. Currently this is a test run, which means that some of the email addresses to which I am sending the document are email accounts on my machine. That's all fine and no problems have been encountered setting it up to run. However, there are a couple of anomalous events happening when I get to the Outlook Send/Receive phase, as follows:
1. The mail-merge inserts the requested emails to be sent into my Outbox. That's fine. When I press F9, thereby executing a Send/Receive All, the Send/Receive count displayed in the task bar is incorrect. So far, over a few runs, it has been incorrect in two different ways. The first way is that when I am sending three messages it gives me a count of six. This would be correct if all three messages were being sent to accounts on my outlook, but that is not the case. Two of them are , but one is being sent elsewhere. Therefore, I would have thought the count would have been five, i.e. three sent and two received. The second strange message count is that it generates a count which just seems plain wacky. It may be nine, or seventeen, or some other unfathomable number. Any ideas what is going on, please?
2. Sometimes when I press F9 it executes a send/receive, gives me a message count, but nothing arrives in my inbox. Until I press F9 again.
The correct emails arrive at the correct destination, so the above behaviour is confusing rather than harmful, nonetheless I would prefer that these anomalies didn't happen.
I am at a loss to explain any of this so any help would be much appreciated.
Many thanks.
