OL 2002 Delayed Message

[Brenda from Michigan]

OL 2002 SP3

I'm reading here that in order for OL 2002 to send a delayed message, the PC
must be on and I'm assuming logged in to the network. Yes we use an exchange
server. I think I'm reading that there is a way to send a delayed message in
OL 2007 with the PC off, but not in 2002. Is that correct?

One user claims her delayed messages did not go and we believe the cause to
be the PC was off. However, this user claims a co-workers sends delayed mail
all the time and that her PC is off. Both would have OL 2002. Is user #1
mistaken on the status of her co-worker's PC? TIA!

It works as long as your default folder set is an Exchange mailbox and not a
pst-file.

By 'default folder set' you mean your email is delivered to your mailbox and
not to a Personal folder (.pst). So Outlook 2002 DOES send delayed messaged
even if the sender's PC is turned off? I thought I read 2002 does not do
that?

If I've read it wrong and 2002 does send delayed messages, what could be the
cause of this user who setup mail to be sent while she was on vacation and
she returned later to find it unsent in her mailbox?

Outlook 2002, when the delivery location is an Exchange mailbox, allows
delayed messages to be sent even when not running. It is the Exchange
server performing the action, not Outlook.

be the cause of this user who setup mail to be sent while she was on
vacation and she returned later to find it unsent in her mailbox?

Did you verify that her delivery location was the Exchange mailbox?
