After you 'close it', is it still listed in the Task List? Check if
Outlook.EXE is running. Do you get any error messages when you try to send?

When I open Outlook, it will not send mail. If I close out and start
again...it will not even open. I re boot. It will opden again but
continues
with the same pattern. I had no problems with Windows XP but I have a new
laptop with Vista. Can anyone help? I run 3 businesses off my laptop.
Thanks
