Sending E-mails

[Ben]

When I was using Outlook 2000, and sent E-mails to the Outbox, they would not
immediately be sent until I clicked on the SEND / RECEIVE button; ...or, if
they sat in the Outbox for a long time, then they would eventually be sent; I
liked and prefer this; ...but now since upgrading to Outlook 2007, the
E-mails are send automatically after I clicked on the SEND button in the
E-mail, or when completing a Mail Merge, but before I click the SEND /
RECEIVE button. How do I set my Outlook so that my E-mails I send to my
OUTBOX will not be sent immediately, but rather until I click on the SEND /
RECEIVE button. Thank you.

Depends on your mail account type which you did not post.

What do you mean "Mail Account type?" I'm not connected to MS Exchange; I'm
connected directly to a cable high-speed hookup.

Exchange, POP, IMAP, HTTP would be the expected answers to the qestion "what
type of account are you using?"

 

[Ben]

It's a POP3 connected by cable. Thank you.

It's a POP3 connected by cable. Thank you.

You should be able to disable the "Send immediately when connected" option.
Is there a Tools>Options>Mail Setup dialogue?
