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’s name or add that SMTP address to a personal address book.

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.
