My email is not being sent, it is stuck in outgoing box

Hello,
I have already been to the Apple store and thought they fixed it but my outgoing email is stuck on outgoing box and will not send.

One email account?
All email accounts?
Can you receive Mail for the problem account(s)?
Could you successfully send from this account before on this device?
Can you successfully send from other devices?
Can you successfully send from this device via web mail (if available) for this account?
Does Safari work OK?

Mail stuck in OUTGOING MESSAGES on OS X version 10.9.4

I am running OS X Version 10.9.4 and there are three mails stuck in my outgoing mail, It does not show in the outbox when i access it. It only shows when I am sending mail it says: Outgoing Messages - Sending mail 90 of 93, and the three always stays there. I need those mails, how can I access them and resend them?

Back up all data. Rebuild the mailbox. Try to send the messages again.

Mail stuck in out box

I switched to roadrunner.com and created a new message going to all 500 addresses in my address book. It wouldn't send using the roadrunner, so I resent using old earthlink.com smtp which worked. But now the one created using roadrunner.com smtp is stuck. it always opens when I open mail, but I have to force quit Mail every day to close my computer. I have tried to move it to trash etc. but nothing works. I can send other messages with roadrunner. Message says cannot send using roadrunner server. help please!

Hello, no this doesn't work. I cannot save it as a draft or save in trash, nor move to any other mailbox, nor delete in any way; the only way to actually close mail is to force quit because of this message...any other suggestions? Maybe I will have to uninstall mail and reinstall, ugh.
thanks, ann

HT4864 The Outgoing Mail Server drop down box in mail setup keeps reverting back to 'None' - anyone have any ideas why?

Hi
I've been having difficulties with mail on my Mac and have checked all the settings. I have three mail accounts, 2 iClouds (different acct names) and 1 bigpond account.
Whenever I change the outgoing mail server drop down boxes for the iCloud accts and save my changes, I go out of it then when I go back to the iCloud accts the drop down boxes for both iCloud accounts have reverted back to 'None'.
Is this of any relevance? Is it 'normal'?
I've tried deleting all mail accounts and adding them all again but the same thing still happens.
I have been on Apple Support and followed the Mail Acct setup tutorial.
I'd appreciate any help on this matter thanks.

Thanks for your reply Winston Churchill.
Because I'd been having problems which had recently been resolved by AppleCare Support I decided to go through all my accounts and check their individual settings. I found a Tutorial on Apple support for setting up or verifying email account settings and found mine were different so I changed it.
In any event I took your advice and just went with the option of automatically setting the iCloud accounts up and I haven't had anymore problems thus far - fingers crossed.
I do however note that my drop down box in account settings still says 'none' for the outgoing mail server and the 'use this server only' check box isn't ticked despite being ticked in the 'verify account' info on the tutorial, so hence my question to the community - did this matter and what was the difference?
I will let sleeping dogs lie I think and will see how I go.
Many thanks for your help.

Mail 1.2 - Outgoing messages are not sent, just pile up in outbox.

Hi -
My Dad is in Maryland and has an iMac with Mail 1.2 (he won't let me upgrade him!). His outoing smtp keeps defaulting to an old .mac account of mine, rather than to his earthlink account. Then they all just pile up in his outbox.
When I try to walk him through it from here (California, w/ mac 10.4.x), it goes like this:
Me: Dad, go to Mail>Preferences>Accounts>Outgoing SMTP>little arrows drop-down menu>Remove.
Dad: There is no Remove or Edit there.
So I can't tell him how to remove the erroneous SMTP because I can't see his screen and have tried everything I can think of but no luck.
Anyone have Mail 1.2 and can walk me through the drill so I can tell him?
Thanks,
dstein3

First, have him go to Mail>Preferences>Accounts
Then have him locate his account and your account on the left.
Have him click and drag the .mac account below his account in the list.
This will solve the default setting of mail going out from your account when he clicks on the Inbox.
Removing the smtp server for .mac may not even work for him, especially if the account is active.
Instead click on "advanced" and there should be a check box for "enable this account", deselect the box. This disables the account without deleting any mail.

Two copies of sent mail appearing in sent box

Hi, how do I get help from microsoft?? I need help with outlook sending two copies of outgoing mail to me sent box. One copy inly is delivered to recipients.

Hi,
If you are using IMAP accounts, Outlook 2010 and Outlook 2013 save a sent message in the IMAP account's Sent message folder and your IMAP mail provider may also save a copy. Therefore, it results that two messages are listed in the Sent Items folder every
time you send a message.
To resolve the issue, please follow Clark Kent’s suggestion to
choose the option for Do not save copies of sent items and send a test message to see if the problem persists. For more information about this issue, please refer to the following article:

I have a spinning wheel in Mail - stuck on trying to load a new message. I've force quit both Mail and my whole computer, but when I open mail again, it brings up the same new message - and the side bar curser is stuck in Drafts. What can I try to cancel

Can you log on to the email account via webmail in a web browser, view the email and delete it from there if necessary.

How can I prevent deleted mail from ending up in "All Mail" and "Archives"? To my horror, I've emptied these boxes and lost all my mail from all my boxes (and why do I need to enter this question three times?"

To my horror, I emptied these boxes and lost all my mail from all my boxes .
All mail also disappeared from my iPad, I suppose because they are "synched"
(Also, no offense, but why do I need to enter this question multiple times?)
Thanks for any thoughts.

I'm having a similar but slightly different problem. My company just migrated to Gmail, and it's saving mail drafts every 30 seconds into my Trash folder.
I unchecked the "Show in IMAP" preference in the Gmail settings, but my Drafts folder completely disappeared. I went back and checked it and the folder reappeared (with my drafts still in there).
I like the idea if starting an email on my laptop and having the option of finishing it on my iPhone or iPad, so only saving Drafts locally would not be ideal.

On the iPhone, if you move an e-mail from the In box to Junk, will iPhone automatically place future e-mails from the same sender into Junk? In other words, can you teach iPhone to recognize Junk as you do on a Mac?

I don't think so, you would need to set that on your browser when you log into your email account.

HT5361 I am unable to start or select the MAIL app. No incoming mail and no outgoing mail. I do not even know how to get an answer without email. Can you help?

Thank you Carolyn, How helpless you can feel without this App!
Going into the App Store as you suggest, I see 'thee updates available", the first says, 'X RESTART', the second says, 'Garage Band, an error has occurred" (in red), and the third 'Memory Clean, UPDATE'.
Am I correct in thinking that OSX is the problem, because it is waiting for a restart?
Kind regards,
Cy

Specify e-mail account for outgoing Calendar invites?

I created a Calendar event on my iPhone, invited a friend, and see that the invite went out on my Exchange e-mail account. I would prefer to use a different e-mail account for outgoing invites. Where do I do that?
Thanks

I've never used my Gmail calendar, and syncing was not turned on. I've just done that, and selected my Gmail address as the "Settings - mail - default account" address. Hopefully that will do the trick!
Thanks, --Chris
