Send/Receive Outlook mail box

Hi all, I am currently struggling with refreshing/updating Outlook mailbox. I need to send a couple of mails with attachments. I do it in a loop. After the loop is finished I close Outlook. The problem is that the mails don€™t get sent because the outlook closes right after the loop. If I leave the Outlook open, the mails are sent correctly, but I need to close the outlook. How can I check whether send/receive in Outlook is completed? Thanks.

Will it be possible to give 90 seconds wait before closing outlook

Thanks RDornala, but that doesn't solve the issue very much.

If anyone is interested, the solution I ended up with is creating an action in Outlook VBO. The action checks number of items in Outbox (using VB in code stage) and waits until the Outbox is empty (or the given time is elapsed, to avoid infinite loop).

Are you integrating with Outlook through the UI or through MAPIEx? The reason why I asked is the retrieving and sending emails directly from the MS Exchange is so much more efficient and faster... you will not need a significant sleep stage either. Read the User guide to MAPIEx thanks Mike
