Hi Everyone, any idea how do i disable the automatic 'Check Names' in Outlook? Outlook automatically adds the quote to emails e.g. "      **@def.com" and it is a huge hassle to remove the quote " " , from emails.

Outlook prompts open the Check Names window and I would need to remove the quotes manually before I am able to send emails.

I have tried several suggestions but none seems to work such as :

  1. untick Automatic name checking in the Options > Mail > Send Messages.
  2. Options > Mail > Spelling and Autocorrect > Autocorrect options > Autoformat > untick "straight quotes" with "smart quotes" and AutoFormat As you type > untick "straight quotes" with "smart quotes"

My job requires that i sent tons of emails and it is a huge hassle to manually remove the quote.
