Can you receive email without sending in Outlook2007?

[Dennis]

Many times I have an email that I don't want to send until later. However I do
wish to receive my current emails. Is there a way to receive emails but not
send?

The Send/Receive button does both automatically. Is there a Receive Only
button?

Thanks for any help...I'm a new Outlook2007 user.

In the e-mail you want to send later, go to Options | Delay Delivery. Set a
time when you want it delivered, then you can continue to use send/receive.

I cheat - by dragging it to the drafts folder until such time as I want to
send it.

Thanks Kim for the reply.

The time I want to send is dependent on other work getting done is is usually
random. Thus this soluttion would not fit. Would I would really like is just a
plain Send button and a plain "Get Mail" button.

Thanks AlanHo. This is probably the best solution. I don't understand why MS
does not decouple the send and receive and make them separate buttons...like in
all other email software!
