Outbox on Outlook

[Guest]

When I type a letter in Word and then try to email it directly from that
program, it sends the letter over to Outlook and it sits in my Outbox without
being sent until I open it up and click on send. Is there a way to set this
up so it automatically will send all mail in the Outbox???

In Outlook, click Tools>Options>Mail Setup. Is "Send immediately when
connected" checked?

Thanks for the response. Yes, the box is checked and mail is sent
and received without a problem, except when I don't have Microsoft
Outlook 2003 open, the mail still just sits in the Outbox when I try
to mail photos from Corel or mailing documents from Word.

This is normal behavior. If Outlook isn't running, it cannot send messages.

I can then open the item from Outlook and click "Send" and it will email
without a problem. Any ideas on how I can make Outlook
automatically send those items without it being open? When Outlook
is open on the desktop, everything works fine. Maybe there is no
other way???

There is no way for Outlook to send mail when it's not running.
