How to Send Mail Right Away in MS Outlook

Do you want to send your emails right away without any delay? If yes, then you have landed on the right page. You must be surprised to know that Outlook does not send the emails directly and it stays in the Outbox folder of MS Outlook.

You have to set up Outlook so that it delivers the emails immediately after clicking send, rather than using a mail-sending schedule. And it can be accomplished by setting the appropriate options. So, without further delay, I will show you how you can make Outlook send emails instantly.

Problem:

When you send an email in MS Outlook, the email may remain in your Outbox folder as shown in the below figure. When this problem occurs, the email message remains in your Outbox folder until you manually start a Send/Receive operation in Microsoft Outlook.

What is the cause of this problem?

This issue can arise if the “Send immediately when connected” option is not enabled, as shown in the following figure.

Solution: Change Outlook Settings To Send Emails Instantly

For Outlook 2019, 2016, 2013, and 2010 as well as Office 365

If MS Outlook waits to send your email as per schedule, change the settings so that it sends the email immediately as soon as you press the Send button. Follow the below steps:

• Firstly, go to the File tab in Outlook.
• Then, click Options.
  
• Under the Outlook Options, click Advanced.
• After that, go to the Send and Receive section.
• Now, click on the Send immediately when connected check box.
• Finally, click on the OK button.

Apply to Outlook 2007 and Outlook 2003

• In the Tools menu, click on the Options.
• After that, under the Options dialogue box, click on the Mail Setup tab.
• Then, in the Send/Receive section, click on Send immediately when connected.
• Press the OK button.

What happens after enabling the ‘Send immediately when connected’ option?

Well, what happens after that relies on whether you are connected to a network or Outlook is set to work online or offline.

• If you are connected, and Outlook is working Online, then the emails will be delivered unless Outlook runs into an error. In such a scenario, it pursuit delivery systematically.
• If you are connected, and Outlook is set to work Offline, then, in this case, ​Outlook will not deliver emails. The email messages will remain in Outbox until you set Outlook to Work Online.

Note: If the account is part of the Send / Receive group, Outlook tries to send messages while offline, which is set to attempt mail delivery according to the schedule when working offline.

• If you are not connected, and Outlook is working Online, ​then Outlook sends the email but returns an error. The message is placed in Outbox. Outlook tries to deliver the email a few minutes after you connect.
• If you are not connected, and Outlook is set to work Offline, Outlook will not deliver the message shortly.
