Emails are getting stuck in my outbox

We are using Outlook 2003 with a Gmail IMAP account. Everything was working fine until today when emails started getting stuck in my outbox. I used to be on an exchange server but have recently switched email accounts and added the IMAP to
my old outlook. What should I do so that i can send emails without them getting stuck?

After migration from Xp to Windows 7 Email is getting stuck in the Outbox.

We are using USMT 4.0 with all requisite patches for Office 2010 to migrate users from Windows XP to Windows 7. Some of our users are up and running but after a day or two they are unable to send emails and everything is getting stuck in the Outbox.
At this time the only work around is to recreate the entire local profile. Once we do this the user is up and running without issues. Any assistance on this issue would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Tony

Hi,
If the new profile was created, would the issue occur again?
There are several reasons that may cause the email stuck issue, such as Outlook or the mail server is offline, An antispam or antivirus scanner is scanning outgoing mail, Wrong or bad password, or not authenticating properly with the mail server, the message
is too large to send...
We can learn the troubleshooting steps from this link below, which was written by our MVP, Diane Poremsky, who is a well-known expert in Outlook:

Gmail emails are getting stuck in my exchange outbox

I am using Outlook 2010 with my Gmail IMAP account and am having an issue where sometimes emails that I send from my Gmail IMAP account, get stuck in my exchange outbox. My exchange server hasn't been connected for at least 6 months now, and the only reason
I haven't deleted my exchange account from Outlook is because I often need to refer back to my old emails.
Why does this happen and what can I do to fix it? I've read some other threads with similar issues but an important thing to note is that my exchange account is always offline as it is not connected to a mail server. Any assistance with rectifying this issue
would be great as there is no warning at all that the messages have failed to send and it's not a constant issue, only happens sporadically but enough to make me consider not using Outlook anymore.

Sounds like you have two email accounts in one profile, Exchange and Gmail IMAP. Try to set the IMAP account as the default to test it. For logic, if you send a message through IMAP, the send message would stay at IMAP sent folder but not Exchange folder.
Thanks.

Email messages getting stuck in Outbox

I have regular problems with my sent emails getting stuck in my Outbox when using verizon.net mail. The problem only occurs with verizon.net and only on my tablet (Nexus 7), not on my PC. Both are on same wireless network so I don't think it is due to interruption in connection. Is there some adjustment I need to make?

Gmail is a deliberately broken implementation of IMAP that often causes problems with Mail. The problem seems to have gotten worse in Mavericks. Google has no incentive to make Gmail work well with any mail client, because the company makes money by delivering targeted ads via the Web. The Gmail servers analyze your messages to gather information about you and your contacts that Google can then sell to marketers, or to anyone who will pay for it. You agreed to those terms when you registered a Gmail address. The marketers—not Gmail users—are Google's customers and the ones it aims to please.
I suggest either not to use Gmail at all, or to access it through the website as Google intends. You might get better results with another email client. I don't recommend any one in particular.
If you insist on trying to make Gmail work with Mail, the following links may help:

Office Save & Send emails get stuck in Outlook outbox

Hello All,
I have a user here that when she uses the Office Save & Send and also Adobe XI Pro send feature to Outlook the email gets stuck in the outbox and will not send. When we recreate the email from within Outlook and attach the file it sends with no issue. We
are using Exchange 2010 and Windows 7. I have not been able to recreate the issue on my own PC and I have recreated her email profile as well as repair the Office install. I am at a loss. I have seen many posts about email being stuck in the Outbox, but none
referencing the Save & Send feature.
Any recommendations would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
Based on the description, when using the Office Save & Send feature, the email would be stuck in Outlook outbox. Without using the Office Save & Send feature, it could send email successfully. This means that Exchange server is ok, it seems the issue
is related to Outlook. Actually, we have a dedicated support team regarding the Microsoft Office. I recommend you ask your question on our Microsoft Office forum which is staffed by more experts specializing in this kind of problems to get better help.

Thanks for understanding.

Can't send emails on my yahoo mail account. gets stuck in the outbox. tried deleting and reinstalling but it didn't work., can't send emails on my yahoo mail account. gets stuck in the outbox. tried deleting and reinstalling but it didn't work.

every time i try to send an email from my yahoo mail account it gets stuck in the outbox. i have tried reinstalling my email account but it doesnt work

Have you tried setting up your Yahoo account using Mac Mail instead of dealing with web based mail?
It only takes a minute to set this up.
Open Mac Mail. From the menu bar top of your screen click Mail > Preferences then select the Accounts tab then the Account Information tab.
Click +
Enter your name, Yahoo user name and password, click Create.
If you'd rather not do that, it would help to tell us which Mac OS X you have installed and which version of Safari in your reply.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

Help with e-mail getting stuck in Mail outbox

I recently ran into a problem where all the e-mails I tried to send in Mail got stuck in my outbox and were not sent. After reading posts on the Apple Support Communities website and doing some troubleshooting of my own within Mail, I reached a solution to the problem. When I first realized I could not send e-mail using a certain e-mail account of mine, since all e-mails were getting stuck in the outbox folder, I checked my available servers. I did this by opening the preferences window, clicking on the accounts tab, then clicking on the outgoing server pull-down menu. In the pull-down, I saw that the server I wanted to use was listed as "offline." To fix this problem and get the server back online so that I could send e-mail (as I could with my other account that was not listed as "offline"), I selected the outgoing server pull-down once again. In the menu, I selected "edit server list." On the page that pops up afterward, I highlighted the server I wanted to use. This way, I could see the information associated with the server. With this information in front of me, I realized that for some reason there was no password entered in the password field even though the "Authentication" setting was set to password. I entered my password associated with the e-mail account I was having problems with and "walla." The server was back online. I could send e-mails again without them getting stuck in the outbox!
This problem popped out all of a sudden for me and got me quite frustrated. I hope that this brief walk-through helps out some people out there having a similar issue. Best of luck!

That's one of the best walkthrough's i've read, thankyou!
However, I often have email stuck in the out box. And that's not comfortable… or good for communicating to clients.
In the hope that this may help someone:
Internet Connection Problem
A bit random but I found that by keeping an eye on the networked computers or the Dropbox icon tells me the health of my network or the internet connection that's causing a problem and all of the time, it's the Ethernet.
If networked computers are up and on the internet, but my PM isn't:
Solution:
1) Refresh the DHCP license.
2) Switch off the ethernet under system preferences/network then switch on again to refresh the IP addres.
Every time I do this, I find Apple Mail reconnecting straight away. I don't know why this happens.

HT3748 Messages sent through my Exchange Account with large attachments (10mb) get stuck in my Outbox.

I use Mail and icloud except at work. The wi-fi network at work won't allow icloud through so I use my work email setup on Mail as an Exhange account. When I have a large message (10mb) to send through this account it gets stuck in my Outbox and won't 'send'. It actually appears in the 'On my Mac' Outbox and not in the Exchange Outbox - even though i sent it using the Exchange account. IT at work are puzzled. This problem is only when at work - I can send through my Exchange account when I'm at home. Please help...

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folders. In OS X 10.9 there are two sandboxes, while in 10.8 there is only one. If you're running a version older than 10.8, this comment isn't applicable.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder—not just its contents—to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window.
This action will delete any custom Mail stationery that you have created. If you want to preserve it, ask for instructions.
If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Repeat with this line:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.MailServiceAgent
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

From time to time, my outgoing mail messages get stuck in the "outbox". I'm having trouble resolving the problem.

I use Comcast. My computer (Mac Air) also uses my iCloud and Me accounts. The message I get back says they are all offline.

One possibility is the user does not have access to this operation. Please check with any other user (with more access) the same operation.

I am using ipod touch 4g 8 gb, with ios6 software. It is getting very very slow even after i reinstalled the software. Apps like temple run 2 and subway surfers are getting stuck and it is very very slow.My ipod has 2.6 gb free space. What is the problem. I am not getting to know. Even after i reinstalled these apps it is still getting stuck and it is very very slow. Is this what i get after paying so much money for ipod. Is this what i get very poor perfomance.

Periodically double click the home button and close all the apps in the recently used dock. Then power off and then back on the iPod. This frees up memory. The 4G only has 256 MB of memory.

TS4268 I'm stuck on activation for imessage, I sign in but when it goes to verify email it gets stuck. The situation now is that the email verification screen for iMessages is not letting me access my regular msgs. I can only see msgs in notifications

I'm stuck on activation for imessage, I sign in but when it goes to verify email it gets stuck. The situation now is that the email verification screen for iMessages is not letting me access my regular msgs. Imessage has blocked my regular messages. I can only see msgs in notifications. Even in contacts the option for message contact has vanished. The phone is just stuck on the verify email screen and my mail is already verified by appleid. iv tried multiple working iTunes accounts but still no go.

Reset the phone (no data loss): press both the home and power buttons for at least 10 seconds, releasing when the Apple logo appears.
