Answer 1

There are two ways to work on email sending.

First, Setup Cron job

Step-1 : First Login to admin panel.

Step-2 : Go to admin menu "System > Configuration > Advanced > System > Cron".

First of all, confirm that you have set up Cron tasks in the Magento admin.

For help to setup Cron see the Url : http://www.magikcommerce.com/blog/how-to-setup-a-cron-job-in-magento-magento-cron-tutorial/

Step-3 : Find the cron.php file at Magento root directory and set the cron job run every 5 minutes.

Second, transactional emails will be sent instantly.

Step-1 : find order.php app/code/core/Mage/Sales/Model/Order.php near line no. 1356 and 1450. and find

$mailer->setQueue($emailQueue)->send(); in order.php file and change/replace to
$mailer->send();

Step-2 : Goto app/design/frontend/base/default/template/checkout/success.phtml

And add the following line on the top of success page for sending mail directly

$order = Mage::getModel('sales/order');
$incrementId = Mage::getSingleton('checkout/session')->getLastRealOrderId(); 
$order->loadByIncrementId($incrementId);

try{ $order->sendNewOrderEmail();} 
catch (Exception $ex) { echo "Email Not Sent..."; }
$customer = Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->getCustomer();
$email = $customer->getEmail();//End Email Sending
