Automatic Sending Options

[ThespianBill]

Hi there,

I am a recent convert to Outlook (2003) from Outlook Express as my email client and I am trying to find a specific setting.

What I would like to do is NOT to automatically Send & Recieve emails on sign-on, sign-off or at regular intervals because I prefer to first filter the incoming mail (using MailWasher) to remove spam and unexpected emails.

What I DO want to set though is to automatically send new emails that I create as soon as I click on the "SEND" button.

My Outlook Express handled this perfectly and I am sure that this is a simple exercise - I just cannot find the setting.

Many Thanx

well, for the regular interval send/recieve, select:

tools -> send/receive -> send/receive settings -> Disable scheduled send/receive

for immediate send check the box at:

tools -> options -> mail setup -> Send immediately when connected

i'm not sure about disabling the sign-on, sign-off check. you can set it to download headers only (which should leave the mail on your server) so that it can be scanned by your filter software.
