Default Outlook 2003 on Vista OS

I would like to configure Outlook 2003 to send messages immediately, but also
wish to disable the auto send/receive feature. At this time, the messages
"stall" in my outbox until such time that I manually execute the send/receive
button. Can this be done, and if so, where (I've looked high and low in the
tools | options menu but cannot locate a setting). Thanks for your help!

Is anybody out there? I posted this question almost a week ago... are all
the MVP's on vacation?

Have you checked the "Send immediately when connected" option on
ToolsOptionsMail Setup?

Thanks, Brian... looks like that did the trick. Simple enough, but it would
have been more intuitive if Microsoft labeled the option differently.

Thanks again.

What would you have found more intuitive than "send immediately" if you want
your messages sent immediately?

Yes. Something like, "Messages sent immediately upon pressing Send" might be
more appropriate. The current statement, "Send messages immediately when
connected" gives me the impression that the messages are only sent when the
mail client is initially opened. Perhaps I'm splitting hairs, but
nonetheless, the current statement seems ambiguous.

Thanks for your help.
