I Know I Sent That Outlook Email…

If you are a Microsoft Outlook user, you might have run into the issue of email’s not being sent after you have composed and exited the Outlook application. By default, Outlook will not verify that all emails have been sent (to the server) prior to closing. Not only can this be frustrating, but it can cause confusion or even troublesome delays.
