How to i set up my outbox (for Send Later messages) so that I control when the messages are sent?
When i compose a message but do not want to send it right away, i click on Send Later and it goes into my Outbox. It remained there until i signed on to my email the next time. Then a message would come up asking me whether i wanted to send unsent messages. This gave me control over when the messages went out.
Something has changed (computer gremlins at it again) and now the messages go automatically the next time i log on.
I want my outbox set up as it was before, where i am asked whether i want the messages to go, so that i have that control.
I have tried to figure out how to do this using this help resource, and going via Tools, Account Settings etc., but haven't been able to find anything indicating how to set my outbox back to asking my permission to send unsent messages.
Hope someone can help.
Thank you.

check these settings:
Tools > Options > Advanced > Network & Disc Space
click on 'Offline' button When starting up: Select: 'always startup online'
Send unsent messages when going online select: 'Ask me'
Download messages for offline use when going offline? suggest 'Ask me'
click on 'OK' to save offline settings click on 'OK' to save changes to Options.
Create an email addressed to yourself and use the Send Later option to put it in the Outbox.
Close and reopen Thunderbird.
You should get the prompt asking to send email. If you choose yes then the email in the Outbox will be sent.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I looked under Options but couldn't find anything. I never would have discovered it where it was. This solved my problem. MANY THANKS! B
