I find it frustrating knowing my emails are being delayed when I "Send", or not being received at all!

Is there any way to eliminate the delay or at least reduce it to a small minimum delay number?



I also don't understand the exit messages for Outlook.

Please enlighten me!

Hi!

Click on the Tools menu, Options .
Click on the Mail Setup tab.
Under the Send/Receive sub heading make sure the box is ticked next to ” Send immediately when connected“.

Bye!

I did as advised and also under Send & Receive same line as Tools chose the "Send Receive Settings and under that chose "Disable Scheduled send & receive.

However after send I still get the 2 windows about "exit without send" and "Do not exit",
which seems to mean you must leave Outlook up all day.

Is there an email that is stuck into your outbox? Maybe it has an attached document too big?

NO, there is no attachment involved.

After checking for a submitted solution (none), I checked my outbox and found 22 email waiting to be sent.

The scheduled send time was 7:12PM all on this date and not scheduled by me.
When 7:30 arrived I ck'd the Outbox again, now the send time was 7:32 p and no emails had been sent !

What is going on and isn't an Outlook coordinator available?

P.S The email awaiting send originate as far back as about the 9th of Oct .
