"Do Not Deliver Before" option / Outlook 2003

[Danny]

We are running Exchange 2003/Outlook 2003. Several of our users are trying
to use the option "Do not deliver before" in Outlook but the option only
works when Outlook is running. Is this the way its supposed to work? Seems
like I remember this option working even when Outlook was closed (i.e.
Exchange would deliver the message at the correct time after the message was
sent). Help anyone? Thanks.

Dear Danny,

Thank you for posting here.

I truly understand your concern. However, based on my knowledge, the option
"Do not deliver before" in Outlook is an Outlook Client Side rule, which
means the option only works when Outlook is running. Actually, when this
rule fires, the message first is stored in Outlook Client Side instead of
Exchange Server Side, which determines the rule is only for Outlook Client
Side.

Thanks for your understanding and cooperation. If there is anything I can
do, feel free to let me know. Thanks and have a nice day!

Thanks & Regards,

Lee Li

The "Do not send before" option will work as it did in Outlook 2002 if you
have a single online (*not* cached mode) Exchange account in a profile. If
you have more than one account or are using cached mode, Outlook will hold
the message until it is time to deliver it, and thus Outlook will need to
be running.
