Having trouble sending "delayed " e-mails...

[Guest]

I have a user running Outlook 2003. All e-mail goes through exchange. OS is
XP Pro SP2. All Office update are installed. This user scheduled several
e-mails to be sent several days in the future then went on vacation. During
vacation the users workstation was off and Outlook was not running. User did
however login and check their e-mail via the web access feature we use. The
scheduled e-mails were not sent when they were supposed to be. It seems that
they were not sent until the user returned from vacation and turned on their
workstation and started Outlook. Should their outlook have sent the messages
while they were gone via exchange. Or is the reason the messages were not
sent, because Outlook was not running. Is there a way, since we are using
exchange, to schedule e-mail to be sent on a specific date, and have them
sent on that date without the Outlook workstation running?

Thanks for any help that anyone can offer,

Ralph Malph

If the person's delivery location is the Exchange server, then the messages
should have been sent even while the Outlook client was off. If the
delivery location is a PST, then Outlook must be running.

Brian,

Thank you for your reply. The default delivery location is set to the
exchange mailbox. The only place I know to look for this setting is under
tools, e-mail accounts, edit change settings...etc. This setting seems to
apply to all the folders, Inbox, Outbox, Sent etc inclusively. I can't find
an option for assigning a default location on a per folder basis. If one
exists would you please let me know where I can find it. Other than that do
you or does anybody have any other ideas as why the users delayed e-mails did
not go out as scheduled?

Thanks again for your help,
