Thunderbird Outbox Use

[jbnimble]

Just switched from Windows Live Mail to Thunderbird.
One thing I miss is that Send went first to the Outbox, for later actual send.

How to make new emails go to the Thunderbird Outbox, for later Send?

In your compose window, click the menu, file -> send later or the keyborad shortcut of CTRL+SHIFT+RETURN and it will go to your outbox until you tell it to send unsent messages.

Thanks much.

Is there a setting to put each outgoing email first in the outbox?

I didn't see one, but that doesn't mean there isn't one. Personally, I like my messages to go out immediately and get put in the sent box.
