automatically send from other programs

[Karen Hart]

Using Outlook 2000:

When Outlook is not running, and I open a program like Photoshop Elements
and select "send a photo via e-mail," an Outlok message window opens, I fill
out the addressee, and hit send.

The problem is that it does not actually send it until I open Outlook and
click the main Send/Receive button.

How can I get this sent immediately from Photoshop, without having to open
Outlook?


Thanks in advance.

True so far.

You can't, unless you're using an Exchange mailbox.

Check your Outlook services. Are you running Outlook in a personal
environment and not in a network? In anycase, it seems like your Outlook is
not setup to send/receive automatically.

This computer is on a Windows Server Network, NOT using an Exchange Mailbox,
but a POP3 account.

How do I set it up to automatically send/receive?

Outlook must be open to send immediately from any application.

Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact. Due to
the (insert latest virus name here) virus, all mail sent to my personal
account will be deleted without reading.

That's a different question than your original. To automatically send and
receive, set up a send/receive interval in Toola>Options>Mail
Setup>Send/Receive and also check the "Send immediately when connected" box
on Tools>Options>Mail Setup.

That said, if you want your mesasge to be sent, Outlook will need to be
running.

Sorry, I will clarify a little further: With respect to Outlook 2000 :

This computer was at one time set up as Tools>Options>Mail
Services>"Corporate or Workgroup", as we used an internal mail system (MS
Mail) as well as POP3 accounts. This computer is no longer on that network.
It was moved to a home location (standalone) and I changed it to
Tools>Options>Mail Services>"Internet Only".

The "Mail Services" Tab, does not have the options you describe, only
"Startup Settings, Profile - Always use this profile: Microsoft Outlook
Internet Settings" and "Check for New Mail On". That's it! I cannot alter
either of these 2 settings, so there is seemingly no way to do as you
suggest to "Send Immediately". It will only send/receive when I manually
press the Send/Receive button.

Any particular reason why you did this? If you intend to access only POP
accounts, then leaving Outlook in CW mode would still work and it would
still behave as it did (i.e., it would have the same menus). By changing it
to IMO, you have changed Outlook's features.

I don't have access to an Outlook 2000 IMO installation at this time.
Perhaps someone else can direct you. Sorry.

I agree. Switching to IMO was a dubious choice at best. We all abandoned it
the first chance we got.
For IMO the option is here:
Tools menu > Options > Mail Delivery tab > Check "Send Messages Immediately"

 

[Karen Hart]

Thank you Russ for getting involved. My original problem is that I don't
seem to have these menu options in this mode. (I'm assuming IMO means
"Internet Only")
:-( Help!!!

Then let's verify your version again. Post the first 2 lines of Help | About
from your Outlook installation.
Every installation of Internet Mail Only mode I've ever seen has these
options.
