Automating the send/receive process.
Select the "mail setup" tab.
Make sure the send immediately check box is checked.
Click on the "send/receive button" for more options.
Sending is not really a problem because the system knows when you want to send. Outlook is not continually connected, to know when you get an email so it has to go to the server to check. Since you may have multiple email accounts in outlook it allows you to group them when you set up the rules for checking and downloading your email. Unless you have multiple email accounts and you have some special reason to check them at separate times you can ignore the top half of this send receive dialog box. In the box you should see:
All accounts online and offline.
That is good. Go to the second half of the dialog box where it says: Setting for group "All Accounts" Outlook wants you to define when it should look for messages. Two categories are available. When you are online, that is you have outlook open or when you are offline or have outlook closed. The first online option is when you click on send receive. Check that. The second is automatically check every so many minutes. Probably every 30 minutes makes sense when you are on line but take your pick depending on what you think your email usage is. Check that. The third is when you exit. Check that. It mainly makes sure every thing is sent before you close outlook.
The offline options are
only really important if you get your email, from this email account, at move
than one location. If you only get it at this computer, you can select what you
want here. If you get it at more than one location you do not want to check
these boxes.
