I found this link on activating logging in Outlook to be helpful.  And here's an example of what I mean by S…L…O…W…

2013.10.26 08:51:40 <<me>>@VERIZON.net: Synch operation started (flags = 00000001)
2013.10.26 08:51:40 <<me>>@VERIZON.net: UploadItems: 1 messages to send
2013.10.26 08:51:40 SMTP (smtp.verizon.net): Begin execution
2013.10.26 08:51:40 SMTP (smtp.verizon.net): Port: 465, Secure: SSL, SPA: no
2013.10.26 08:51:40 SMTP (smtp.verizon.net): Finding host
2013.10.26 08:51:40 SMTP (smtp.verizon.net): Connecting to host
2013.10.26 08:51:40 SMTP (smtp.verizon.net): Securing connection
2013.10.26 08:51:45 SMTP (smtp.verizon.net): Disconnected from host
2013.10.26 08:51:45 SMTP (smtp.verizon.net): Port: 465, Secure: TLS, SPA: no
2013.10.26 08:51:45 SMTP (smtp.verizon.net): Finding host
2013.10.26 08:51:45 SMTP (smtp.verizon.net): Connected to host
2013.10.26 08:54:15 SMTP (smtp.verizon.net): End execution
2013.10.26 08:54:15 <<me>>@VERIZON.net: ReportStatus: RSF_COMPLETED, hr = 0x800ccc7d
2013.10.26 08:54:15 <<me>>@VERIZON.net: Synch operation completed

Elapsed time: 2 minutes, 30 seconds for a simple text e-mail.  So still I ask, WHAT'S THE DEAL VERIZON?

Rob, just curious what version of outlook are you using, and what Operating system. Also are both up to date?

If you have an antivirus program than "plugs into " outook, try disabling this feature and do a test.

Outlook 2003 on WinXP.  There are no plug-ins or (outgoing) anti-virus scanning in place.

Yes, both the OS and mail client are "out of date" but SMTP circa 2003 is still the SMTP of 2013 and components should remain be fully functional.  What's more, the implication of using an out-of-rev Outlook doesn't explain the intermittent nature of the delays.

Of note, I have resisted joining the "Oh look, a new version of MSOffice!" bandwagon.  Each "new" version of MSO brings few truly new functional components; it's mostly changes in window dressing.  Worse yet, operations that took X number of clicks usually become X+n clicks resulting in decrease in productivity.
