Don, Error 4202 refers specifically to invalid characters in an address.
Invalid characters include :
Check your Outbox to see if there might be an unsent message with an invalid character in the address causing the error. If you find one, delete it.

Hi Cynthia,
Thanks for the explanation. I’m annoyed to see such error messages that offer no help/explanation. It’s high time MS & Others come up with error messages that also explain the action needed from users to solve problems. This would also significantly increase the user satisfaction and avoid many of our online complaints and rant.
