I guess I could try that, but I'd rather not because the users really
like to use that feature for easy addressing of emails. It seems like it
may or may not be related to that, as we used the autofill option for
several years without these issues.

 

It just seems to weird that they can send an email without the extra
address showing up in the To: field, and then it's somehow added when
the email is sent.

Have you tried clearing the .nk2 files on the PC?  (the "autofill" for
Outlook)

 

Close Outlook and delete the .nk2 file on the PC.  See if the issue
persists afterwards.

Okay, I used to think my users were crazy. Scratch that.. I still think
they're crazy, but some weird things are going on with multiple people,
so I don't think it's just a simple "user screwed up" issue.

 

For the past few months, several users have been having issues in
Outlook (2003) where they either start a new email, or hit reply, and it
ADDS an address to the To: field at random. It seems to be an address
that an email was previously sent to from that account.

 

What's bad is that it happens with customers. So, for example:

 

1.      I send an email to, say, Joe, talking about how we're having
trouble with a job for customer A. 

2.      Joe replies to my email, yet somehow, a random email address
(typically another customer, like customer B) is magically added to the
To field.

3.      Customer B replies with a "WTH???" email.

4.      People look at me with extreme frustration

 

Any ideas what could be causing this? I don't think it's that they're
accidentally hitting a key and it's using autocomplete to put a name in.
The user that it happened to twice today swore that she checked the To
field several times before sending the second email where this occurred
(because obviously she was very nervous after it happened the first
time.) 

 

Thanks,

 

Evan
