Email..Send/Receive Help Please - Tilted Forum Project - TFP - Sexuality, Philosophy and Political Discussion

I am using outlook with Windows XP. I used to receive emails automatically, and be able to send emails immediatly when I hit the send button. Since Wednesday, whenever I want to send an email, it goes to my "Outbox" and then I have to go into the send/receive and click on that button for it to be sent. That is also the only way I now get email to my inbox. I have tried going into the settings and seeing how to reset it to send immediatly and receive immediatly but cannot figure it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What version of Outlook are you using?

soopafreek · 05-21-2004, 09:13 AM

i know with outlook express, under the tools > options > "send" tab, there's a check box for "send messages immediately".

under the "general" tab, there's another check box for "check for new messages ...."

maybe these are unchecked?

If it's full Outlook, go to options, Mail Delivery, and check "Send Messages immediately when connected" and "Check for new messages every X minutes" and set a time you like.

I am using outlook 2003. I tried to do what soopafreak suggested, but no such options for sending messages immediately.

i use outlook 2003 aswell, if you go to Tools - options - mail setup you can check "send immediatly when connected" and then under the same tab, beside it click "send/recieve". "Schedule an automatic send/recieve every _ minutes" I have mine set to every 3 minutes. Set that to something and check it.
