Kengwen,

I doubt there is anyway to get around this. If OE has been rewired to recieve before send there's not much you can do. You might ask this up in the OE newsgroup and bounce it off one of the OE experts up there.

> Yes, i did set those two things you mention. But when i call out(use MAPI) the OE i still will receive first then only sending. why ? Even though i launch the OE by click the OE start icon it gave me the same result!
> I am using OE 5. I did use MAPI before(that time is OE4) and if i am not wrong, i remember that it will sending first then receive. But that time my compose message didn't have attachment file to send.
> Any comment ? thanks
