Shift+F9 = Send/receive using the account for the selected folder. In a new-mail editor window: Alt+S = Save, close, and send. There are shortcut keys defined within the product. They are not configurable by the end user. You may need to find keyboarding tutorials to untrain yourself from repeatedly hitting the Alt key by mistake. You could find software that can intercept and reprogram the scan codes transmitted by the keyboard to, say, disable one or both of the Alt keys (whichever one you keep hitting accidentally) but that would apply to ALL applications where Alt+S will probably have a different function. Alternatively, you could define an outbound rule that ALWAYS defers (delays) sending of your e-mails. You could use a rule that delays your outbound e-mails by 10 minutes. That gives you a 10-minute safety margin to compensate for user blunders. However, that also means that you must leave Outlook loaded for more than 10 minutes (or leave Outlook always loaded) to ensure it is still running so it can send your e-mails at the later time. |
