OK, the fact that version 3.X lets you queue up multiple emails is great until you go to send them if you use Outlook Express. If I queue up one it will send fine everytime. If I queue up two it will only send one and the other one will still be sitting in my outbox on Outlook Express. If I queue up three or more it will send two and the rest will still be sitting in my Outbox. No matter how many I queue up the most it will actually send is two, the rest have to be sent through Outlook Express manually. Anyone have a fix for this?

Yes, I too experience what you are saying. If I send several emails, only the first couple get sent and the rest remain in the outlook express outbox until I either send more emails, or manually open outlook express.

I send multiples daily, with different status as well. No problems here. Could be your email settings. I occasionally noticed that a while back and so I started using Auctiva and no problems since.

Yep, me to, exactly as you say. The emails remaining in the outbox won't go until you do "send/receive all" in outlook express.
I recently upgraded to Office XP on my XP machine, and with XP's version of Outlook it gets worse, Outlook just doesn't like an "external" program trying to send email through it, and would pop up a warning window for every email. That got tiresome in a hurry!! Try as I might I couldn't convince Outlook it was ok, so I gave up.
Here's what I did: Configure eBud to use SMTP and send the emails directly to your ISP's email server. In the setup you can have eBud send a copy of every email to someone, so send it to yourself. This way you'll get a CC: of every email back in your Outlook Express email when you next read mail.
Then, do this in Outlook Express: set up a seperate folder for eBud emails you've sent, and set up a rule in the rules wizard that any incoming email that's from your own email address to simply mark it as read and move it to that eBud email folder. So, (and this is the cool part) a cc: copy of every eBud email you send will end up as a read email in a seperate folder in Outlook Express.
It takes a little time to set up but does work great when it's done.
Have fun, and keep on selling!!

I did what you suggested about setting up the email going straight out to my ISP's smtp-server and it works like a champ! Thank you!
