looking for help in delaying the sending of e-mail...

[roanwight]

....without using rules. What I'm trying to figure out, to
little avail, is how to have e-mail that I've composed and
am sending out held in the Outbox until I manually send
it, as in by hitting F9. Microsoft insists on making me
set up a rule, whereby I specify a set number of minutes
it will stay in the Outbox before automatically sending
it. But doing so this way prevents me from then going into
the Outbox and overriding the rule by simply hitting F9.
Do I have to resort to writing only drafts? Please help!

What about just setting up Outlook not to automatically send/receive every X
minutes, but to wait for you to manually send/receive? Would that help?

What is wrong with the "do not deliver before" option?

the (insert latest virus name here) virus, all mail sent to my personal
account will be deleted without reading.

sorry, just sent a blank message.
so is that a rule I have to set up, or is it an option I
can choose? it seems on my old computer, with an older
version of outlook, that's exactly how I had it. but I
can't seem to make that happen with this version (2003).

where can I find that option in outlook 2003?

You either need to use drafts or disable Send Immediately... What kind
of account do you connect to? It won't work with exchange.
