One out of many addresses fails although it appears in sent items, also reply to this address fails, in both cases there is no indication of failure. The address is x...@zen.co.uk which works fine when sending from a desktop using Outlook. What can be going wrong?

You have two periods right before the final domain. At a guess, Outlook is probably silently correcting this to a single period before sending the message, but K-9 is probably passing the address on unchanged.

Interestingly, Thunderbird correct it for me in displaying it in the
original message. The mailto: link also didn't have the typo so maybe it
was corrected there as well.

My recommendation would be to delete it and re-add it to your address
book to be certain.
