I am using Outlook 2003 to send my gmail account through
smtp.gmail.com. When I send mail in Outlook, it goes into the Outbox
rather than get sent right away. Then from my outbox, I can send the
email.

This seems like a redundancy in efforts, how can I get Outlook to send
it straight away?

Look at the Tools Menu, then Options, then Mail Setup Tab. Check off the box
"Send immediately when connected".
