When I compose a new email and click send it goes to the outbox. I have to
click send/receive to get it to send.
Was Outlook actually running WHEN you composed the new e-mail? If you
click on a mailto: URL, use a File -> Send as E-mail menu option within
a program, or otherwise programmatically start composing an e-mail, that
does NOT load a fully functional copy of Outlook. It only loads a stub
of Outlook that is sufficient to open the new-mail editor window. When
you are done composing your new e-mail and that window closes, Outlook
also closes. Because Outlook is no longer running, nothing of it is
available to do the send operation. The new message sits in your Outbox
awaiting until you actually fully load Outlook and then open that item
to Send it. Outlook must be running to do the send operation.
