The message just sits in the Outbox.

[Frank Rizzo]

I've setup a shortcut that point to command: mailto:
What this does is bring up the Send Message window, where I just type
the text, pick the sender and the message is supposedly sent. However,
there is one problem: the message is actually not sent, but just sits
in the Outbox folder. How can I force the message to be actually sent?
(Without having Outlook open all the time).

Thanks

Do you have Outlook setup to send e-mail immediately when sent?

Outlook must be open to send, no way around it.
