Dennis, do you have your mail account(s) set to autocheck mail? Mine, for instance, checks every three minutes. Of course you have to let it save the password, so it's up to you whether you consider it secure enough in your case. If you do this, though, by the time you have composed your mail it is very likely that it has already checked for you. I agree with Sharea, though, that you should check what you have set for sending mail - whether you have set to send authentication details, and whether your isp does require it, though I would have thought that if you got that wrong it would affect every attempt to send, not just in some circumstances.
