Do Not Deliver Before Not Working?

[delorca]

Hello There,

I have users who use the "do not deliver before" option when sending an email.

All users currently have Microsoft Outlook 2002 connecting to Exchange 2000.

If, for example, they decide to create an email at 10am in the morning and set "do not deliver before" 4pm the email goes to the outbox as expected.

What happens after that is strange because sometimes the message goes and sometimes it doesn't? When it doesn't go it simply remains in the outbox.

This seems to effect more than one user and, although i have checked the users local time settings and the Exchange server time settings to ensure that they look the same, the email can still stay in their outbox?

This is confusing because, as i said, sometimes it works and other times it doesn't.

Does anyone out there know of any reason why this could occur?

Any help would be greatly appreiated.

Cheers,

Del.

Aside from the actual time did you make sure that the time zone is correct, and the same one, on both the client and the Exchange server? I've seen problems in the past if the time zones aren't the same.

Cheers.

Hello Cmeagan656,

Thanks for the update. I have checked the Time Zones on the local PC's and the Mail Server and they are both set the same.

I was very helpful to hear your suggestion and i do appreiate it.

Many Thanks,

Del.
