How to send outgoing e-mail later instead of immediately.

In WIN98, MS Outlook 2000 SR-1, when I composed (or replied to/forwarded) a
message and pressed the "Send" key, the message would queue up in my outbox.
Then when I either manually pressed the Send/Receive button or when a
Send/Receive was scheduled, the e-mail would be sent at that time.

I now have WINXP, Outlook 2003, and I either have to st my options to Send
Immediately or it doesn't work at all. Does anyone know how to fix this?

If you could que w/ OUtlook 2000 you must not be on a LAN or always connected
computer because otherwise you can't put new messages in Outbox. If you are
connected, Outlook2000 sends immediately (Outlook Express gives you and
opiton to send later and puts them in outbox).
In Outlook 2003 that option is again available, if you want to que new
messages and send them later go to Tools> Options> select the Mail Setup tab.
Unselect the checkbox for "Send Immediately when connected"
When ready to send (and connected) click 'Send/Recieve'

Click to expand...

So does Outlook. When you compose a message, before you send, click
View>Options and select the "Do not deliver before" option.

This is not correct. I have a desktop with DSL always-on and Win2k Pro and
Outlook 2000. I've used it exactly the same way as the original poster:
disable "send/receive immediately" and the msg gets sent during either the
next manual or scheduled send/receive. This exact same scenario is not
working properly on my new laptop, hooked up to the same DSL connection, with
XP Home and Outlook 2003. It is really annoying.
