Outlook Tip From DorisTIP: This setting is dependant on Outlook running and connected to the internet. If you attempt to close Outlook with messages in the Outbox you will be asked if you are sure you want to close. If the appointed time passes while Outlook is closed and/or internet is not connected, Outlook will send once opened and internet connection is restored.
