CRM addin causing outlook messages to hang in outbox

I have about 20 different CRM SFO clients installed. Three of these
experienced an issue with sending mail. It was not consitant, but it
was frequent. When you would send an email it would go the the outbox
and would not send out. The email would not be in italic and it had a
date of none. No matter what you would do to this email (open it back
up and resend, etc.) it would sit in the outbox. If you set your mail
to send immediatly it would work, but for my users this was impratical
since they are not connected at all times. I had the issue on my
laptop and eventually modified the registry key onload behavior key and
then restarted outlook. This allowed my mail to go through without any
problems, but obviously the CRM client would not work (even though it
still showed up) and the add in was no longer in the comaddin list. I
readded it modified the key again and everything is working fine now.
I suspect that I could have just deleted the add in and then added it
back, but as of right now I am not sure if this works. I will be
trying it with one of my users after I am confident mine is working ok.
I have seen a lot of post about this type of problem and different add
ins that cause this issue, but never did see the CRM add in on any of
these list. Guessing it should get on the list as a possible cause for
this. Has anyone else experienced the same thing? Was there something
you did to fix it other than what I mentioned?

Can you provide more details of the registry keys that you changed and the
exact process as we have the same problems at several sites.

Thanks

Iâ??m having the same issue with one of my clients. We have Exchange on one
server, CRM 3.0 on another server, and SQL 2000 on a third. When the user
tries to send an email through the Outlook client (Desktop) and has the to
email address of someone not in CRM, however the email is linked to a contact
within CRM (The user sending the email). The email says in the outbox in
Outlook forever and cause other emails to backup! We have to delete the
outgoing email and stop and restart outlook to get the rest to go.

I need some help here.. Any thoughts?

I have the same problem here..
Does anyone know a workaround for it, which keeps the CRM Add-on functional
as well?
