Why does sending mail take up to 18 hours to send?

Why does it take up to 18 hours for e-mail to send? Also, I'm not retreiving
my e-mails from my webmail Horde.

Thanks-

hard to say without knowing more - how large is the message? are you
scanning mail for viruses? Do you get any error messages?

Prove it by showing the Received headers in the e-mail after it was
received. Those show when the mail servers got the message.

Can't tell why you are having problems retrieving e-mails since you
never mention the version of Outlook, the version of Windows, what type
of e-mail account, or any details of an error message other than "not
retrieving".

--- Posting Hints ---

ALWAYS REVIEW your message before submitting it. You want someone OTHER
than yourself to understand your post. Also remember that no one here
is looking over your shoulder to see at what you are pointing.

Often you get just one chance per potential respondent to elicit a reply
from them. If they skip your post because you gave them nothing to go
on (no details, no versions, no OS, no context) then they will usually
move on to the next post and never return to yours.

If you use a webnews client, like Microsoft's Communities or Google
Groups, those are gateways to Usenet.

Regarding error messages:
- Do NOT describe an error message.
- Do NOT summarize an error message.
- Do NOT paraphrase an error message.
- Do NOT truncate an error message.
- Do show the ENTIRE message (but munge/star out personal info,
like your username).
