I tried to send an email to a group. I got an error message in red: "Please use the following format for email addresses: . . ." but I know of no way to look at my group list and see which email is spelled wrong, missing a letter or has any other problem. I'm really frustrated since this is an important email.

Suddenly I can't send my newsletters to the groups I've been sending it to for six years. It tells me incorrect format. The format is correct. What's up?
Your missing the point. I understand what a correct format is. The group list has worked before but now it doesn't. Nor does it help me see any way that I can find the emails that don't have the correct format and fix them other than going thru the entire list one by one and seeing if that's one of the broken addresses. And like several other changes to Outlook, there was no warning, no method to meet a new standard, and no help at fixing this after the change. I won't stay with Outlook if this can't be fixed.

Did you by chance copy paste the addresses from another program like Office?
The correct format is ******@somewhere.com and can only contain letters and numbers. SPecial characters arent allowed.
