'Send immediately when connected' option in Outlook 2003

N

Neil W. Garside

I'm using Outlook 2003 with a single profile which contains two
accounts; a Microsoft Exchange Server account (for work email) and a
POP3 account (for home email). I have two questions:

In Tools/Options/Mail Setup there is a checkbox labeled 'Send
immediately when connected'. If I uncheck this option, any email I
send through my Exchange account sits in the outbox until I manually
perform a send/receive. Is this normal? The option's label suggests
(to me) that it applies *only* when starting up Outlook (a bit like
Outlook Express's 'Send and receive messages at startup' option).

Also, in my Send/Receive Groups I have an 'All Accounts' group which
includes the 'Microsoft Exchange Server' account and a 'Remote Mail'
account (I've created another group to retrieve my home email). Why
don't I have to schedule an automatic send & receive for the Exchange
account?

Thanks for your help,

Neil W. Garside
