It shouldn't sit in your Inbox, but rather your Outbox. Did you mistype?

You also didn't state your Outlook version, so the following is for Outlook
2002/2003.

Click Tools>Options>Mail Setup. Check the box labeled "Send immediately
when connected". Then click Send/Receive, check the first box labeled
"Schedule an automatic send/receive every" and enter a reasonable value in
the minutes box. Do not choose a value less than about seven or eight
minutes. Ten is the recommended minimum. Click Close, then OK.
