Outlook 2002 not sending

It takes forever to have an email message sent unless I press "Send Receive"
I have Outlook set to do send/receive every minute when online and when off
line...but it still will not send immediately when I try to send an email I
have just finished and pressed "Send" for....it just sits in the Outbox...I
do not get any error message and when I manually press "Send/Receive", it
finally goes...what is wrong? I have Outlook 2002 and XP.

Outlook is never going to send when its offline.
Set your polling interval for 10 mins less than that can cause resource
problems

Do you have "Send immediately when connected" selected in ToolsOptionsMail
Setup?

WAY too short. The send/.receive interval shouldn't be less than about ten
minutes. Also, if you have your antivirus program configured to scan mail,
uninstall it and reinstall it without the mail scanning feature.
