I am trying to send an email to an Outlook email
address which contains white spaces like
"outlook email account". I get an Illegal whitespace in address exception. Is there any way
to send an email to an address with white spaces?
Thanks

Are you sending to an email address or an Outlook name, because there is a difference. The name in Outlook is associated with an email address and that is what you need to be using. I am pretty sure a valid email address cannot have spaces, however I have no link to back that up with.

You are correct. The outlook name is linked to a
valid email which I am now using and it works.
Thanks for your help
