Deferred Delivery Unattended

[GeneGoldman]

I am trying to find a way to schedule the sending of email messages.
I need to send a number of messages on different days and would like
to just put them somewhere and let them go when it is time.
We are on an Exchange server
I am running Outlook 2003, but can migrate to 2007 if that will fix
this

Currently, I draft messages, set the deferred delivery and send. The
messages go to my outbox (although I believe they actually live in the
Message Store) and wait. **IF** nothing has happened, like opening
the message to verify something and then closing it without clicking
"Send" again, or having some update pushed out to my computer causing
a reboot, or rain in Debuke, the message will go as scheduled.

Just kidding, I know that if I reboot I have to go back in to my
outbox and resend all the messages and then do another "Send/Receive".

But if my computer isn't on, the messages do not go. How can I get
the Deferred Delivery to actually deliver when the deferral period is
elapsed, without intervention on my part?

 

[Diane Poremsky {MVP}]

do you have al the updates for outlook installed? Are you using cached
exchange mode?

 

[GeneGoldman]

All currently-available updates are installed (they get pushed even if
we don't install them, but I check frequently).
Not using Cached mode.

If I just post a message and never touch it, it goes fine. However,
if my computer is off, it doesn't go until it starts again. What I
need is to be able to set the message up and rely on it going, weather
my computer is on or off. Would cached mode make a difference?

if you are using exchange server mailboxes, it should go whether outlook is
running or not, but there have been issues if using cached mode. I thought
it was fixed for cache mode, but can't find the KB detailing it.

All currently-available updates are installed (they get pushed even if
we don't install them, but I check frequently).
Not using Cached mode.

here is the KB I was looking for
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=918824 - switch to a non-cached profile
to send the message so it works when outlook is closed.

All currently-available updates are installed (they get pushed even if
we don't install them, but I check frequently).
Not using Cached mode.

That was extremely helpful. It describes my situation exactly.

There is still something going on with this, but I will have to figure
out how to put it in words.

Thanks!

Triple check to verify you are not in cache mode - it's the default for
Outlook 2003 and 2007.

No, checked multiple times, no cached mode.

HOWEVER (don't ya love "however"s?), I have noticed that I am now
getting a delay in sending when I use F9 or the Send/Receive button.
I have also noticed multiple instances of Outlook running in Task
Manager after I exit the application. I do have other office apps
running, but nothing that should be using Outlook. When I shut down
all instances of Outlook services in Task Manager and then restart
Outlook, things seem to work better.

Is this a memory leak? How can I find out what is causing this
runaway service?

And thanks for your help on this. VERY helpful.

it's not a memory leak but something is keeping outlook open or opening new
instances.

No, checked multiple times, no cached mode.

getting a delay in sending when I use F9 or the Send/Receive button.
