Email sits in outbox when sending

I have an intermittent problem where mail sent using an exchange account sits in the outbox until I go into the outbox, retrieve it and click send again. This does not happen all the time, which is a problem, since I never know if the mail is sent or not without checking the outbox. Anyone else have this issue? I am running 3GS with 4.1.

Do you have any single bars when this happens, and does it say "3G" at the top of the screen by the AT&T logo?

Emails sitting in Outbox - delay sending being set to 17:00 by default

I am using Outlook and Exchange 2010 on a SBS server, emails from two users are not being sent, i.e they are sitting in the Outbox. On closer inspection
the delay sending time is set to 17:00. If this is removed the email goes. I believe this is a problem with a corrupt 'normal.dotx' file but if the template is replaced Outlook replaces it with the corrupt one. In the meantime I have created a new message
template with the delay time set to 00:00 and used a macro to display it and it works fine. Is there a fix for this problem?

Hi,
From your description, emails from two users are sitting in the Outbox and not being sent when the delay sending time is set to 17:00.
Delay or schedule sending email messages is an Outlook feature. Actually, we have a dedicated support team regarding the Microsoft Office Outlook. I recommend you ask your question on our Outlook forum which is staffed by more experts specializing in this
kind of problems. Thanks for your understanding.
Hope it helps.

Email stuck in Outbox when sending to multiple recipients.

I am using Outlook 2010. When I forward an email to multiple recipients it gets stuck in the Outbox. I have reduced the number of recipients and the same email will sale on through. I am getting an error code 0X8DE00006 and MS disavows
any knowledge of it. Is there a cure or do I have to send the forward email several times to small groups?

Hi,
From your description, I recommend you check if you limit the number of recipients you can have on an email.
If yes, please increase the value and check the result.
Hope it helps.

Emails sitting in outbox

Emails sitting in outbox- message says "no password provided- go to mail account settings and enter password" however when I do this it then says server does not support password authentication!! It should not be this hard to send an email. I have checked settings a hundred times, is there a simple solution? Very frustrating! Thanks

possibly like me you don't use the pop3/x email a lot but want to send from time to time.
in "fetch', i've selected a "manual" fetch instead of at various time intervals and what's happening is sent emails go into the outbox until a "fetch" occurs, either at a time interval like my pc or when i do a manual fetch.
all sent emails go into the outbox until the fetch occurs and then, only will the mail be sent but you'll receive whatever's available into the inbox.
i find it easier to text to an email address than dink with this pop3 email.
to save downloading everything on the fetch, i check cox.mail or rr when i was in hawaii to see if i need to reply to something.
hope this helps.

How can I have the title of the document be in the email subject line automatically when sending?

How can I have the title of the document be in the email subject line automatically when sending?

It can be done if you use a script, like this one:
this.mailDoc({cTo: "[email protected]", cSubject: this.title});

Sent Email Sits in Outbox

It is weird that this problem came out of the blue. Started about 1 week ago, everyone of my SENT email gets stuck in Outbox. I have to manually open EACH email in the Outbox and click Send again. Then they will go out to their destinations. This happens
to all my emails. It does not matter whether the email has attachment or not. Clicking F9 / Send and Receive all folders button does NOT send the emails in the Outbox. I checked the Options and the Send Immediately box is checked.
My setup: Win8 64 bit, Outlook 2010 64 bit, Norton Security Suite V21.
Please help. Thanks,
Hai

Hi,
Many reasons may cause such issue, such as:
1. An add-in that marks items read if you view the Outbox
2. Wrong password or not authenticating properly with the mail server
3. Outlook or the mail server is offline
4. No default email account is set
5. Corrupt Send and Receive Settings
Please refer to the following article and try the steps to troubleshoot the problem:

Please let me know the result.

How to send email sitting in outbox?

I wrote** an email on my iPod touch and when I sent it, there was a server error. I know this sometimes happens because Gmail servers sometimes go down. This was exactly the case because my laptop was also having trouble connecting to Gmail's outgoing server. In any case, now my written** email is sitting in the outbox and I have no idea how to execute the send command. When I tap on the email, it opens it but there is no "send" or "re-send" command. There's the "reply" and "forward" command but neither fit the bill.
(**) I think writing an email on the iPod touch is a misnomer. We need a new verb like "peck" so maybe "I pecked an email on my iPod touch...." tee heee.... Yes, I'm a touch typist (and fast one at that) so it's pecking to me and not typing.

Ah! I see the iPod touch has re-sent the message on its own. That's good.
Still, I wonder how to re-send a message that I find in my "Sent" box, for instance.

Email stuck in outbox if sending mail from a shared mailbox

Hi,
Some user mailboxes have recently been migrated from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010. Shared mailboxes are located on Exchange 2003 still for the time being.
Some users have send as permissions to a shared mailbox. In Outlook the users are logged in as themselves and using the from field send an email from the shared mailbox.
The email is sent and delivered to its recipient.
The email is however stuck in the outbox of the users mailbox.
I have tried recreating the Outlook profile, windows profile and using a different PC, but the mails still get stuck in the outbox.
If outlook is changed to use cached mode then the emails are delivered. We don't want customers using cached mode though.
If I migrate the shared mailbox to Exchange 2003 I still have the problem.
If I migrate the users mailbox to Exchange 2003 then the problem goes away.
On the Laptop I am testing this on it is Windows 7, Office 2003. I have also tested on another computer with Windows 7 and Outlook 2007. Outlook safe mode doesn;t help or turning off windows firewall.
Has anyone experienced a similar issue?
Regards
Matt

Hi,
Based on your description, I found this kb below:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2703723/en-us
This problem occurs when all the following conditions are true:
Your Outlook profile is configured in online mode (not cached Exchange mode).
You have the DelegateSentItemsStyle registry value set to 1.
There is no resolution to this problem other than to either switch your profile to cached Exchange mode or set the DelegateSentItemsStyle registry value to zero (0).
Note If you set DelegateSentItemsStyle=0 in the registry, email messages that you send from a shared mailbox will be copied to
your Sent Items folder and not the Sent Items folder of the shared mailbox.
Important
This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the
registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry,

Email sitting in outbox

I have noticed that over the past month or so, that emails will sit in my outbox for up to 2 minutes. All of my users are experiencing the same issue. The odd thing is that it's not consistent. Sometimes, emails will leave immediately. Other times, they will delay for up to 2 minutes. Everything does send out, so this is more of an annoyance than a serious issue. But i’d still like to get to the bottom of it.
These are emails with no attachments. I eliminated it being a DNS issue by using the IP address as the SMTP server. I still get the delay.
I am also having a handful of users saying that some (certainly not all) incoming and outgoing emails are being delivered several hours later. (Not sure if this is related). Some as long as 12 hours. I have tested most major domains and all get delivered within 5 minutes. (Gmail, .mac, yahoo, comcast, AOL, etc)
We did do an update on the server from 10.4.2 (possibly 10.4.3) to 10.4.8 about a month ago, then recently to 10.4.9. The problem may have started after that first upgrade, but I cannot be certain. Were running an xServe G5. We recently started a iChat server as well. I did disable the jabber server and still had the same issue tho.
This happens from 5 different offices (MD, PA, VA, NJ, TX) as well as Comcast home users. so everything points to the Email server (or possibly our ISP)
I have yet to find any type of fix for this issue and was hoping someone here would have some advice for me.
If you need any more info, let me know.
Thanks all!!

Mails stuck in Outbox when sending as shared mailbox

Hi
I have some users who use a shared mailbox [email protected]
Their primary mail is their own [email protected] and the shared mailbox is the secondary. When they try to send mail as [email protected], the mails get stuck in the Outbox folder or the shared mailbox. Sometimes, only one user has a problem, sometimes 3 of
them (there are 6 members). Sometimes the problem is resolved, sometimes the problem happens again. Sometimes, the mail will be stuck in Outbox for 10 seconds then send. The recipient does not receive the mail when it gets stuck on the Outbox. I tried to add
a test user with the same privilege as this group and tried to log-in the computer of the user who is having the problem. In the test user, mails can be sent as the shared mailbox, but going back to the original user, it gets stuck on the Outbox. So I think
this is not a problem of the computer. I tried to check if the DelegateSentItemsStyle can be changed but this parameter is not existing in the registry of the user. Any advice? Thanks.

Hello meowchao,
It puzzles me that they sometimes can send. Do you know Powershell?
If so, please run the following command:
Get-MailboxPermission [email protected]
(where you type the proper name of your shared mailbox)
In the list produced, does all users who should have access to this mailbox appear and have full access?
If you don't know Powershell: http://help.outlook.com/en-us/140/cc952755.aspx

Email attachments sometimes disappear when sending to a PC user

When I send an email with an attachment (normally a PDF or JPG), in of course an exceptable size, to a PC user, the attachment will disappear for them. When they receive and open the email, only a small gray outlined box appears for them, with an "X" through it. This does not always happen for me, only for certain PC users. I have a feeling ti may be a setting error on their end, but I need to make sure. I would love to have a fix for the issue or else a solution to tell the client to try. Thanks.

Oh man! So they say "We know this is a bug and we can't fix it since Tiger" ????? This is Apple with an army of developers and they can't fix this annoying issue???? WHAT???? I think this is a not a day more problem to fix and their professional OS X Server is affected by this problem as well and they don't fix it... their own software... what a customer care!!!
Anyway it sounds ******** and the solution is the same category... if you have only one mail in the mailbox and move to an other on a certain type of server it's getting corrupted, but the rebuild process works and when you move back it will be corrupted again! They should fix this but it looks like they will never fix it... it's a shame from a big company which sells premium products.
So if you still in contact with an Apple technician and they're opened I can provide both of the server platform when the problem can be proofed. (one where the sync is ok and one where it isn't and only with one mail in it ) Please contact me and I can help!
You can try other mail softwares and they can handle the imap protocol without major problems. I tried the following ones:
- Postbox
- Thunderbird
- Sparrow
- Mail Mate
Both works very wall but any of them is so integrated as the mail app with osx. Unfortunately if you live in the apple ecosystem and own more than one mac computer you will stuck with the apple one with all of its bugs.
...since Tiger... I can't get over it...
Sorry guys I getting angry when I hear this kind of stories...

PDF email attachments got stripped when sending to Blackberry

Every time when I forward email with PDF file attachment from my Macbook Pro (IOS 10.6.8, Mail.app 4.5) to any Blackberry recipient it got stripped out! On the contrary, that same attachment can be found on other browser with no problem. I personally own Macbook Pro, Iphone 4 and Blackberry with POP3 and Gmail email addresses. I have tested sending from one to another email account myself in different ways and quite confident that the problem must come from Mail.app in my Macbook Pro. Forwarding email with PDF attachment either from BB or from Iphone is OK.
Does anyone having this problem? or I did something wrong. I have tried with both plain text and rich text but no success. Thank you.

Did you find a resolution to this issue. I am seeing the issue recently too, it's doesn't appear to be limited to sending to Blackberries. I have one Mac user in the office, he sent an email with an attachment to a PC user in the office and the attachment got stripped.
I also have a PC user in the office that was attempting to receive an email from a external Mac user and the PDF attachment was stripped. The Mac user asked a PC user to send and I worked.
Any help will be useful.

Picture "mms" email sent multiple times when sending to another phone

I sent a picture using gmail to a friend's cell phone (Verizon) to [email protected] so they can get is as an MMS text. They received the message, but about a day or two later they received the message again about 15 times. I went into my sent folder and deleted the message and that seemed to stop it from being sent. This has happened multiple times. Anyone know why it would be doing this? Hopefully MMS will be added in a future update it would make it so much easier to send and receive pics.

Not sure why and although I've done this only a few times, I have not experienced the same but I haven't used a Gmail account for this. Do you access another email account on your iPhone besides your Gmail account? If so, try using another account for sending all MMS via email to see if the same occurs.

IPad 3 aol email is not relaying when sending emails?

I have tried turning main server off n creating new but then said username or password wrong. Help

I copied this from another discussion and this may be what you already tried, but take a look to be sure. I edited some of the content that was not relevant to the question.
Go to the "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" settings panel under "Settings." Click on the "AOL" account. Click on "Account". Under "Outgoing Mail Server" click on "SMTP". Under "Primary Server" it says "smtp.aol.com" and is probably set to "On". Change this setting to "Off". Then click on "Add Server..." under "Other SMTP Servers". Add "smtp.aol.com" as the Host Name, Your AOL account as the user name (without "@aol.com"), and your AOL password. Your outgoing mail should now work. I believe the problem is that on my wife's phone, "@aol.com" is somehow getting added to the sendmail request under the default settings for the Primary SMTP server. This bypasses that problem. Best of luck...
