Outlook – How to make Outlook 2010 send email immediately (rather than letting message stay in OutBox)

emailmicrosoft-outlookmicrosoft-outlook-2010

This is when Outlook 2010 is closed — I compose a new message via another Windows app, e.g. clicking on a mailto: link in the browser.

I got an Outlook "New Message" window, after I click 'Send' the window closes but it doesn't actually send the email until next time I start Outlook.

How do you make it send immediately when Outlook is not running?

Best Answer

I'm pretty sure this is not possible. The entire infrastructure of Outlook is based around mail activity only happening while the app is running.

There are certainly other applications which run as services that let you send email anytime, and even take over the mailto: handlers, but that's probably not what you want.

Sorry.
