    Default Outlook 365 (Win10) won't send mail unless I click Send/Receive

    This started a month or so back. Could've been after an update: I so loathe Win10 that I don't remark anything it does.
    Emails arrive without problem; but my replies just sit forever in the Outbox unless I click Send/Receive in the menu bar and then actually click on the circle thingy.
    This has become incredibly annoying.
    When I consult Dr Google I find nothing relevant to this problem.
    Feeling sure someone here will, as always, furnish the solution ...
    Regards all 'round !
    I'll tell thee everything I can: there's little to relate ...

    What about trying another e-mail client. Mozilla Thunderbird is free. Other than that I can offer no meaningful solutions because I do not use anything remotely resembling fruit or MickeyMouse.

    Lee ... words (almost) fail. I'm sure I can recall that you used to provide helpful stuff !
    When Thunderbird provides its own calendar and not a separate Mozilla program I might swap.
    I'm bloody poleaxed that no-one has a solution for this !
    Oh well.

    Thunderbird comes default with the Lightning calendar add-on these days I believe.
    MS says to try , though it's from 2013.

    Try this:

    In the Outlook Options dialog box, click Advanced.
    In the Send and receive section, click to enable Send immediately when connected.
    Click OK.

    Very well; and now I've downloaded it.
    Alas for my existing calendar: the work involved in re-creating the bloody thing ...! - for somehow I doubt MS allows export to Thunderbird.
    Thanks for the input, Jma ! - but the MS advice was turtle-y useless. Strange, that ...

    Sorry, M-R, I gave up on Windwoes after one "patch Tuesday" too many borked my entire system. I'm now running Linux Mint and cannot be happier. Since then I've not had to re-load my system because of a botched update. All updates are done when I want them, rarely do they require a restart, and I've not got a "hurry up and wait while we provide new ways to spy on you". I don;t even need an anti virus or anti malware program running in the background as you cannot perform critical changes without first giving permission to do so. Oh, and the software is FREE!

    Oh, MATE ! - what I wouldn't give to have the brain to manage Linux - Mint or parsley ! I do not have it but, and must admit that. Such a thought has occurred to me roughly 2,401,575 times, I promise.
    I know ! - you move to Geelong and install it for me. [grin]

    "The thickest bricks" ? - how acksherly thick are they ?
    Honestly, hinekadon (should I be aware of your real name, I wonder ? - I don't think I remember you from the last time I was driving the Lees and the MTVs bonkers), I am incapable of imagining myself installing Linux AND USING IT.
    But your reassurance causes me to think I might just go and take a peek at it - and in all probability step back in horror ...
    You should see the look on Lee's face as he reads that ! [grin]

    No probs M-R.

    Not sure about MS allowing export, probably not, but perhaps Thunderbird can import from 365?
    I haven't used Thunderbird for years but it used to allow imports from quite a few different clients last time I used it.

    These links may also be helpful.

    Erhmmm ... only sorta.
    Much too long ago, me old china. What you don't know about me is my age; and that's so frightening even I'm scared !
    However, your point about being able to muck about with Windows still there is helfpul indeed.
    When I finish this unbelievably time-consuming thingy I'm knitting, I am going to take a deep breath and have a go.
    Or maybe not.
    Depends.

    Geez, love the advice. If your email doesn't work, change your operating system. That's akin to selling your car because it has a flat tyre.

    I would suggest signing up for a Gmail account (if you have a Google account, you will already have one). You can add any of your existing email accounts in to it and send and receive email from your existing email. Gmail has the best spam filtering out there in my opinion. You can also sign in to your email anywhere as its web based.

    I did the above in 2008. I still have all my email from that time onwards.

    M-R have a go with Linux, you can run it from a memory stick without touching you windows system at all. If you like it, you then have the option of either doing away with windwoes all together or installing it alongside. Think of it as a new car. It can perform the same tasks as the old one, it's just a matter of learning where the buttons and switches are, or where the fuel filler sits. You can download mint from which is a very windows like experience. Instructions for making a bootable usb stick can be found The Linux mint forums are very helpful and friendly, just like this place.

    The download page offers several varieties of Mint, I use the 64bit version of Cinnamon - each is slightly different and designed for different types of hardware. Cinnamon for the more powerful machines. That said - I am running it on several machines that were new when XP was king, so it is nowhere near as resource hungry as Windoze. I'd try that first. Hinekadon's Ubuntu is not all that different from Mint, using the car analogy, He drives a Holden, I drive a Ford. THe various flavours of Linux are just different models in the line up.
    I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message...

    Oh come now, admin ! - we weren't so ...
    It was I who changed the direction of the thread; and prior to that I'd qualified my question for help by adding a requirement for an inbuilt calendar.
    Which I believe gmail doesn't have ?
    So we went the route dictated by my openly-stated detestation of Win10. That's it. Dunno how you don't get that.
    I know about Gmail: I use Outlook.com and pull it in to Outlook: if that don't tell you a lot about MS, nuthin' will.

    Thanks muchly, Lee. Dunno that I feel more empowered but. :\
    It's my age, mate: it tends to make me THINK I've left my brain back at the turn of the century.

    I promise that I will check it out. You may be appalled to learn that your link to the bootable flash drive/whatever is the thing that means I really will do so: I have forgotten everything like that my wonderful husband taught me, all those years ago.
    Big hug !

    It always pays to at least try a simple Google.

    How to View calendar on Gmail
    Log in to your Gmail account.
    Click the calendar icon at the top right of your screen.
    Scroll and explore your calendar.

    So we went the route dictated by my openly-stated detestation of Win10. That's it. Dunno how you don't get that.
    So you are a token " I hate Microsoft" person...who uses Windows. I see plenty of them.

    I know about Gmail
    I have my doubts.

    I use Outlook.com and pull it in to Outlook: if that don't tell you a lot about MS, nuthin' will.
    Your statement has no point. I can use Gmail for a Microsoft email address...or anything else. Seriously, we can only help people who want help. Your replies to members in general about your technology problems generally run at a very high chance of a negative to any suggestion given to you.

    Here's your option list (if anyone has any to add , please do) :

    1. Fix your email problem with your hated Windows 10 (which is unlikely to be the cause of the email problem).
    Likely to be related to this , regedit is not hard.

    2. Use a different email client. There are that many I am not going to list them. Google "email client"

    3. Install Linux and use whatever that uses.

    4. Do something simple like run your email through Gmail (clearly this has been poo pooed like most other suggestions)

    5. Buy an Apple product. They don't allow you to do anything at all except what Apple says you can do, so you probably wont have a problem at all.

    6. Ring people instead

    7. Post letters instead

    8. Employ a foreign technical intern to do all your related technology tasks for you

    9. Go "off grid". Big Brother is spying on you anyway. Wear a disguise when going out (CCTV everywhere) and only use cash for all transactions. Communicate in Pidgeon English to throw them off.

    10. Join other forum members who regularly wrap themselves in aluminium foil to avoid government "brain waves" hacking in to their systems.


    Post back with a number between 1 and 10 and I will refer you to an appropriate member who specializes in the particular field you have selected. Or perhaps members can post back and claim a number as their specialist field.

    I mean people are helpful here. But if you aren't interested in fixing a problem, there isn't much anyone can do. Personally I would just fix the email problem and be done with it, though going off grid does have its appeals.....

    Sorry about yur poblem, whatever it is.
    But I have no intention of apologising to you, because you'd only misinterpret that, too.
