MS Outlook 2000 questions

My new Dell Dimension 4100/866 came with MS Office 2000 including Outlook 2000.

There are two things which are driving me absolutely crazy and I hope one can show me the answer.
1) After composing an e-mail and clicking the SEND button, the e-mail remains in my OUTBOX. It gets sent the next time Outlook receives/sends new e-mail or whenever I hit F5 (check for e-mail). Which setting/option should I select to make the e-mail be sent instantly instead of being queued in my OUTBOX folder?

2) My Outlook Express for the Mac OS has a simple feature which I REALLY miss. While composing an e-mail, there's a drop down list from which you can select which e-mail account you're sending FROM. I have four different ISP e-mail addresses for personal, business and other uses. Right now I have to go to OPTIONS to select which account I'm sending from, which I usually end up forgetting to do.

Hope these two questions make sense and I would really appreciate any help you guys can offer.
 
Ross: if you are not using the calendar and all of those other "features" from Outlook 2k, then i recommend you go to outlook express, it will make your life much easier, if it werent for our exchange server i would not use outlook 2k.



im not at work right now, so i cant answer your questions, if you dont solve them by tomorrow PM me.

DAM - Good point, now I'm wondering why I'm even using Outlook 2000. I'll try and tough it out for a little while longer. Hopefully it won't be that difficult downgrading from 2000 to Express if I decide to go that path in the near future. Of course I'll backup everything related to Outlook 2000.

Good news I solved problem 1 which was relatively easy, I selected Tools -> Options -> Mail Delivery and check marked Send messages immediately when connected. So now whenever I click SEND it actually sends it, since my Internet connection is 24/7 (DSL).

The second problem still baffles me though ...
 
If you have the four accounts set up, there should be a arrow next to the send button. This brings a drop down box, in which you can selct the account for sending from.

Hope this helps.
 
in outlook express i have two accounts and everytime i send an email it always gives me the menu to send from either account, im sure 2000 is the same way (it shoot be) try to uninstall all accounts and make them again.
