I had a user that went away on vacation. The user had created several emails to be delivered on a specific day when he was out of the office. The user was not logged in at all during this week of vacation. He said that he received several phone calls from different people because the emails where not delivered. I did a test: when I was logged in to my test pc, I setup 10 emails a minute apart and the first five went, after the first five went I logged out. When I logged back in the five remaining emails where still in the out box. In our old environment we had Exchange 5.5 and this feature worked fine. We have now migrated to Exchange 2003 and it doesn’t seem to be working. Any advice or known problems would be helpful.
 
I think it depends on whether your mailbox (containing the folder "OUTBOX") is residing on the exchange server, or on your PC. It stands to reason that Exchange doesn't know about the scheduled messages unless they are where they can be seen even if you are logged out.

Dose that mean that it will have to be setup on the server side or can this option be setup from the client side?
 
In order for your mailbox to reside on the server, it would have to be copied to or re-created on the server. then your client would have to be set up to look for it on the server instead of the user's PC.
