Outlook can't send mail unless it's running. Why would you expect any
application to perform its job if you don't run it? You can't edit Word
documents if you don't run Word, correct? Why should Outlook be any
different?

Beats me. I don't use VBA. Ask in the VBA newsgroup
microsoft.public.outlook.program_vba

I see a progress bar when I send/receive. It shows a percentage of the task
complete, not the number of items it is processing. That's how Outlook was
designed. Naturally, since I'm not privy to the thoughts of the design
team, I can't explain why they chose that representation. If you don't like
it, use a mail client that displays what you want.

First, thanks for the quick answer.

But what happens with a click on a mailto-link? The message window from
Outlook is displayed. Therefore, I thought that Outlook should has been
started and should send the mail. Or am I wrong?

No, no, Outlook is good. Others can't VBA :)

You are wrong, for the most part. While the Outlook form opens, the mail
transport engine doesn't start.

You´re right. Is there a workaround to fix this (that Outlook start and
not only the mail form)?
It´s very ugly, that the mail keep in outgoing folder and Outlook must
be started manually after to send it.

In the past, there was another thread about this topic and one poster
observed that if he opened a second new message window before clicking Send
in the first window, the message was delivered and then he could close the
second window. It can't hurt to try.
