Receive message "an unexpected error has occurred". All single contacts in address book continue to work with no problem. May 8, 2009 Flag Post #1 Share Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] Guest DL's are neither reliable nor robust. Few people rely upon them. State the changes you made before the DL "suddenly stopped working." Consider using a reliable way to group Contacts. May 8, 2009 Flag Post #2 Share Phil Connolly Guest eh? Your response lacks both a solution and a path to a solution. It is helpful http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2007-outlook/an-unexpected-error-has-occurred/4d2fab1b-4212-4a2d-ae98-0c74478b0780 in that it acknowledges the weakness of DL's (distribution lists) but the anemic "Consider using a reliable way to group Contacts." supplies nothing but frustration. Sep 1, 2009 Flag Post #3 Share Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] Guest Those alternatives have been posted here countless times and include custom views of Contacts Folders, Categories, and separate Contact subfolders. There are lots of discussions on the pros and cons of each method, such as this one: http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/contacts/categories-vs-multiple-contacts-folders/ Sep 1, https://forums.slipstick.com/threads/7354-distribution-list-failure-an-unexpected-error-has-occurred/ 2009 Flag Post #4 Share DavidG Member Here is the most likely solution to this issue: FIX: 1. Create a New Message 2. In the To:, CC:, and BCC:, fields, type the name of the offending distribution list, the one you are using when you get the error. 3. Once the list of DLs is displayed, delete the one that gives you the problem. You are not actually deleting the list, just the shortcut link to it. 4. Click on the TO, CC or BCC link to bring up the Select Names dialogue. 5. Select the offending DL for the To CC or BCC field and click OK. 6. Send your email 7. next time yo usend email you can type the DL right in on the New Message page and it will now be linked to the correct DL in the address book.

You can resolve this error by creating a new list. Don't try to select the DL automatically, because it will just pick up the old one. Go to your contacts list and and select the new distribution list from there. Good Luck.

The error message is "EmailAddress or ItemId must be included in the request." Figure 1. Error message which appears in version 14.3.2 of Mac Outlook 2011 after sending a message to an unexpanded contact group. Work-around: To avoid this problem, when using a contact group, after typing in the group name, click on the two downward-pointing arrows to the left of the name, shown circled in Figure 2 below, to expand the contact group into a list of separate email addresses as show in Figure 3 below.
