Hello there I am having an issue with Outlook XP and what happens is
when I create a new message and send it, it will go to the Outbox and
wait there. It will send as soon as I click on the Outbox itself or
another folder within outlook today. Any ideas why it doesnt just go to
the recipient right away? Thanks for any help provided.
