Outlook send delay rule + send/receive

[Patti]

I'm using Outlook 2007 and recently had to reinstall everything after a hard
drive crash. I'm trying to get my mail to behave as it used to but I'm
missing something . . . .

I like to defer sending mail by 10 minutes; however I also used to be able
to click send/receive and that would immediately send all mail in the outbox
(on those occasions I wanted to send something immediately and not wait the
10 minutes).

I set up my 10-minute rule as before. But now when I click send/receive,
the mail in my outbox just sits there until it's automatically sent 10
minutes after I wrote it. If I want to send something immediately, I have to
delete the rule, delete the email and re-write. Then when I click send it
does send immediately. (Just deleting the rule and then clicking
send/receive still doesn't empty the outbox!)

Any suggestions?

Thank you.

Disabling (unchecking) the rule doesn't work? At most, I'd think you would
need to open and hit Send on the message in the outbox.

Are you using Send Immediately? AFAIK, the rule is working correctly and as
it always has with Send immediately - the message is delayed 10 min. If you
use send every xx min, then the Send & Receive command might send the items
early.
