When I post an email to be sent, it is posted in the "outbox" folder where it 
remains.  Sometimes, in experimenting, I have "clicked and moved" the message 
from the outbox to the "sent" folder.  Sometimes the message is then sent.  
How do I direct the "send" message to immediately send the email and not to 
move it to the "outbox" folder?  In the "tools" "option" file, is there such 
a place to make this correction?

That should not be an issue to begin with. This issue is often caused by 
having a virus scanner integrated with Outlook. Uninstall this integration 
part of your virus scanner and try again; you'd still be sufficiently 
protected by your on-access
scanner part of the virus scanner. For more details see;
