Hi All,

I've stumbled across a problem recently with Outlook 2010 that has come up sometime since Patch Tuesday in January 2012 it seems. I'm hoping someone else has come across the same problem and might have already found a fix.

Symptom:
When sending an email (POP3) from outlook 2010 with a basic signature attached containing about 5 or 6 lines or information (Signoff, Name, Company, Website, Phone, Fax, Twitter, Facebook) the email appears to be sent. A copy of the sent message is stored in the sent items and when the email is sent it briefly shows up in the outbox and then disappears as a normal message send would.

Unfortunately the email message is never received by the destination user! There is no error indicating the email does not go through and Outlook processes it normally.

Workaround:
I have tried to create a very small signature (Signoff, Name, Company Name) and this appears to work sometimes. Or, just disabling the signature all together and manually typing in my signature appears to also work.


Has anyone heard of this crazy problem and is there a fix / patch for this? I am running Outlook 2010 (Office Home & Business Edition) on Windows 7 64 Bit and the same problem is happening on 2 computers now.

Thanks!
Darryl
