Clear up some confusion, either on my side of the keyboard or yours...(-:

The keyboard works and in other programs,the F9 key works. In Office 2010 other F-keys work. I can use F9 to check for mail but I want outgoing mail to stop and wait until I press F9. All mail is to wait until I want it to come in or go out. It is not to be sent out automatically when I hit the button. It is to wait in the outbox until I hit F9.

I have yet to see an option for this in the lists menus.
