Basically, it is clearing down the two object variables. Somewhere
previously the code will have set those objects, but if they are set to
nothing before you have finished, that is before the statement

OutMail.Send (or maybe OutMail.Display)

then you have a problem, if it comes after, that is not the problem.

All that code does is remove all references from the variable. It i
used to free up memory and should not have anything to do with removin
your send/receive. Somewhere above these lines of code there wa
probably a line saying something like:

Set OutMail = CreateObject("SomeObject")

This deletes that reference.

I think it is more likely to be

Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)

or

Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(0)

Maybe the OP have a problem with this

If you look in the Task manager (Ctrl-Alt-Del) and still see Outlook.exe with
Outlook closed then look here
