Vista - Problem sending email

Using WindowsXP SP3 - WLM... When I compose an email message and try to
send it, it always takes a few minutes before it gets sent. Task bar shows
"Working online" then after 3 - 4 minutes Task bar will change to SENDING
MESSAGE. Then the message will go to the Sent Items folder. WLM has worked
like this ever since I installed it several months ago. WLM 12.0.1606. If I
use Windows Mail, the message is sent immediately. WLM takes several minutes
before it will even connect to the server. Just updated WinXP to SP3, but
had the same problem with SP2, and again Windows Mail sends message
instantly when I click "Send". Would anyone have an idea why Windows Mail
works correctly, but when I use WLM it takes several minutes to send a
message. Thanks.

One possibility is your AV scanning outgoing mail. If it is, tell it
not to.
Another is that addresses are being checked against directory
entries. Have a look at Tools > Accounts and see if there are any
contacts directory accounts. If there are, check their properties to
see whether the option to check email addresses before sending is
selected. If it is, switch it off and see whether that helps.
If you enable logging at [Tools >] Options > Advanced > Maintenance,
you'll be able to see what's happening during those 3-4 minutes in
WindowsLiveMail.log, which sits in the root of your Store folder
whose location will be revealed by pressing the Store folder button
on the same Maintenance page. It's hidden by default, so you'll have
to instruct Explorer to Show hidden files and folders.

Do you have Tools, Options, Send, Send Immediately checked? If Not,
when you send a message it sits in the Outbox until you do a manual send
and receive or a timed one as specified in Tools, Options, General.
