Well, by default, "send and receive" is actually set to "receive and send" ie:
it pop-checks first before sending.  But it ONLY calls the &send_out routine if
"SendImmediately" is turned off in the options.

So, to get the pop-before SMTP action to work right, simply turn of "Send
Immediately" and use the "send and receive" button to transfer your mail

In a future version I will add a per-account option to enable "pop before smtp"
for a given account.  Maybe that will make it into 1.8.0 ... It's fairly
simple....
