I've had to ask a couple of questions out of sheer ignorance before, and I've got another. Thanks for bearing with me.
When I send an email (using outlook 2002), and then click the "Send and Recieve All" option, it seems that the email should be sent immiediately right?
Well, it doesn't appear to be working that way. I've tested this by sending an email to 3 different email accounts. Each time, the email takes between 10 minutes and half an hour to get to it's destination. I'm nearly certain that the problem is not with the recipient email addresses. Is it normal for email going through a pop3/smptp server to take that long? I've never really used any email services other than free webmail based services, but the emails I sent before were almost always delivered within a few moments (with rare exceptions).
Any idea why it's taking so long? If so, can it be fixed and if so, how?
Thanks,
Ryan
