| This is another area where Outlook
98 and Outlook 2000 behave differently depending on whether you are running in Internet Mail Only (IMO) or Corporate/Workgroup (CW) mode.
Outlook 97 has only one mode -- the equivalent of
Corporate/Workgroup.
The one thing all versions and modes have in common is that you
need to have the Internet mail account or service configured to use
a LAN connection. If you don't really connect to a LAN (and,
remember that a DSL or cable modem connection is actually a LAN
connection), you'll need to set up Internet Explorer to
automatically dial the Internet and set Dial-Up Networking for an
inactivity timeout so the modem does not stay connected
forever.
Newer versions of Outlook include an option to send immediately.
Look for "Send Immediately when connected" on the Tools, Options,
Mail Setup tab.
