  Outbox folder, where it will remain until:
1. You manually send the mail by:
• Pressing Ctrl M on the keyboard. OR
• Select Tools, then Deliver now using, then Internet Mail.
2. Microsoft Exchange automatically checks your account for new email. It does this automatically at preset intervals. When it goes to check for new mail it will automatically deliver any mail currently in your Outbox.
