Messages in Microsoft Outlook are not sent immediately in Windows XP Service Pack 2
SYMPTOMS
After you install Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2), when you try to send a message in Microsoft Outlook, the message is not immediately sent. The message remains in your Outbox folder longer than you expect.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, click a folder other than the Outbox folder, or open any e-mail message. This action sends a remote procedure call (RPC) to the Exchange server, and the e-mail messages in your Outbox folder are sent.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.
