Bit useless really - could have been so much better if it delayed it on the mailserver.

I have the same issue, messages just sit in the Outbox forever. Has anyone found a fix to this? I have the same issue, messages just sit in the Outbox forever.

I cannot figure out why it won't work either. The mysterious thing is, if i send a test message to myself, it works fine. But if I try to send a delayed message to people in my address book, they just stay forever in my Outbox. But if this is the worst thing that happens to me this year, I really can't complain! Cheers!

It looks straigtforward to setup, but then when it dosn't work, it's disappointing. I looked at Outlook 2007 and 2003 to see if they would work for me. They worked. I looked around to see if there was a need to be on an Exchange server for it to work. There didn't seem to be any special requirements to get this going. The only other thing I can think of is to ensure that the computers clock is set correctly. Slim chances of that being wrong! Chris, I don’t know why it isn’t working for you.

Even if I then click on "Send/Receive" the message just stays in my Outbox indefinitely.
