Moving from Outlook Express OS9 to Mail, how do I put new emails into the outbox ready for sending all at once when I dial up? Outlook had a 'send later' button but Mail doesn't - is there a work-around for this? It's not a problem on broadband but for dialup I need to be able to do this. Nearest method seems to be to 'save as draft' but that's a pain.

Any help appreciated.

Press 'send' and if it cannot connect to the net at that time (i.e. you're offline) it will give you the choice of sending later (put in outbox) or save as draft.

Yeah we just worked that one out. It's great that we can now do it, but not very friendly that the option wasn't more obvious. I find sometimes Apple over-simplify certain things and actually make things more awkward. My brother is not a power user by any means yet this problem came to light within half an hour of him moving to OS X.
