Outlook 2007 Setting failed sent emails as scheduals

S

Hello,

i am having a problem sending emails using my outlook 2007 client.
i have my outlook set up to access gmail pop3.
i use an external program that sends 300 individual emails to outlook, which
outlook then sends off.

but what i am finding is it sends about 150 of these emails then send and
receive comes up as complete. if i then try press send and receive again it
will come up as complete straight away.

after looking closer i found that the ICON that shows email is sending

(envelope with lines behind it)

changes to an envelope with a clock on it, which i am aware is a scheduled
email for a later time. the only way for me to clear this is to go into each
email individually and press send they then send straight away. this is
obviously annoying as its another 150 emails i have to go into, and i have to
do this task once a month.

any one got any ideas on how to stop outlook setting these emails as
schedules.

Outlook MUST be running for it to do anything. As you said yourself,
sending e-mails using my Outlook 2007 *client*. Outlook was not designed to
be a mail server nor for sending bulk mailings. Since you never bothered to
identify the "external program" that is attempting to use Outlook as a
server, you'll have to ask the author of that unidentified program on how it
ensures that Outlook is running and remains running during the bulk mailing
processes and just how that external program is supposed to handle errors
during mail sessions, how it regulates the delay between each mail send (to
ensure you don't hit an anti-abuse quota with your e-mail provider), how it
regulates how many e-mails it sends per minute (again to eliminate hitting
anti-abuse quotas), and so on. Only you know what is the external program.
