Windows Server Forum / Exchange Server / Clients / May 2005CDO-generated message stays in outbox on this computer
Hello: I'm trying to send a message using CDO 1.21 through Exchange 2000. The message stays in outbox. The code I'm iusing is the sample at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/cdo/html/_olemsg_creating_and_sending_a_ message.asp. Note that the message is in outbox already in the Exchange store. I can connect to Exchange from another computer, and I see it in Outbox. That looks like the problem lies outside of my computer. But, when I'm running the same client code at another computer, it gets delivered instantly. What might be causing this? I googled for several hours, found dozens of posts about messages staying in the outbox, but not a single explanation. thanks, Vadim Rapp Does the recipient actually receive the message? What is your Outlook version?

No. I saw the article discussing that effect when it's sent but appears as not. In my case, the message is not sent indeed. DS> What is your Outlook version? 2002 SP3.

No, Outlook is not started. thanks, Vadim I meant offline (cached) vs online store...

It's outlook 2002, not 2003. Once outlook is started, it sends the message soon, w/o any efforts on my part. thanks, Vadim Are you able to send a message from within Outlook itself without the message hanging in the outbox ? Which version of Outlook are you using? > Hello: > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > Vadim Rapp Hello Raffi: You wrote in conference microsoft.public.win32.programmer.messaging,microsoft.public.exchange2000.clients on Mon, 23 May 2005 15:23:01 -0700: R> Are you able to send a message from within Outlook itself without the R> message hanging in the outbox ? Yes. Also, if I start Outlook and perform "send/receive", the message goes. R> Which version of Outlook are you using? 2002 SP3. thanks, Vadim Rapp What about this option in Outlook: Tools->Options->Mail Setup-> Send immediately when connected Is it checked ?

It is checked; and yes, Outlook, when started, does send the message from the outbox. The problem is to send it without Outlook. I forgot to mention that I also inserted session.delivernow in the program, which is supposed to send anything unsent; no effect. thanks, Vadim Try changing this line just for a test: objMessage.Send showDialog:=False To: objMessage.Send showDialog:=True And see the outcome. You are using Outlook 2002, so there is also the Outlook security model that you need to make sure lets your program send messages. > Hello Raffi: > You wrote in conference [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > Vadim Rapp Hello, You wrote on Thu, 26 May 2005 19:40:02 -0700: R> Try changing this line just for a test: R> objMessage.Send showDialog:=False R> To: R> objMessage.Send showDialog:=True R> And see the outcome. it showed the message; I sent it; the message stayed in the outbox. In my email cp applet I have specified "ask for profile". Now that I specified showdialog=true, I got not one but two prompts for the proile: one on objSession.Logon; then another when I clicked "send" in the message. thanks, Vadim And you are not getting any security popups while running this code? Did you try creating a new profile and testing with that newer profile? > Try changing this line just for a test: > [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] > > > > Vadim Rapp Hello Raffi: You wrote on Fri, 27 May 2005 07:14:03 -0700: R> And you are not getting any security popups while running this code? R> Did you try creating a new profile and testing with that newer profile? No popus; no errors, including to "delivernow"; yes, tried new profile, same result. I wonder, how sending the message occurs in Exchange. Since the initial message is created already in Outbox, and it can be there under composition for some time, at what point Exchange decides it's time to deliver it? is it some signal from the client application? of maybe some flag in the message itself? thanks, Vadim Rapp There is no requirement to Create message in the Outbox. Exchange is store provider is tightly coupled to it's transport provider. So it can send messages without MAPI spooler. But before sending it asks MAPI subsystem if that message should be processed by spooler. So if MAPI returns yes Exchange provider just adds message to the it's outgoing queue. That queue can be flushed in the Outlook up to 2000 version. Since Outlook XP flushing spooler outgoing queue is broken. So you need to imitate click on the 'Send/Receive' button.
