I am using outlook 2003. Whenever I send a mail, it never goes out of "Outbox". I need to press F9 or force a "send & recieve" operation. My settings in options/Mail setup/send and recieve is "send immediately when connected" and options for scheduling send & recieve is checked for every 1 minute.This problem happens when I am always connected and "online".

What do I have to change if I need to send my mails whithout being it held up in the outbox and and avoid manual operations such as F9 & clicking "send/recieve.

Hello, I'm actually having this problem now. From my research, it's a problem with outlook.
Try these few steps:

1. Go to the email account settings, click the advanced tab. Look for Server timeout and set it to 3 min.
2. Change the scheduling send and recieve option to 5 min instead of 1.
3. Check the size of the outlook PST file. I've notice that is the PST file is larger than one gig, this can cause issues.
4. And lastly, disable the scan outgoing email option in Norton Antivirus.

These are some ideas. Hopefully this will help. I have learned about these solutions from articles I've read on Tech rep. from other posting. They did help.
