BUG Outlook 2003 vs Outlook Express

[Alex]

Hi, I've recently switched to outlook 2003 from outlook
express that came with xp instalation. I've noticed one
little bug/misconfiguration that really bothers me:
As all of you know, there is a very convenient way to
send a file (or several files) from any folder. You just
right click the files you want to send, select "send to"
and in the pop up menu "Mail Recipient". Then "compose
new message" window is opened, you type email and click
send.
The propblem is that in outlook express the message was
sent right away, but in outlook 2003 it's not! It is
stored in outbox folder, and isn't sent until you open
the program for the next time and click send/recieve.

If anyone knows how to force a messge to be sent right
away, as in outlook express, please enlighten me, 'cause
this one really spoils my productivity with outlook 2003

You need to have Outlook open.
