Mails are stuck in the outbox after an offline period

Hi!
I am often writing e-mail while I'm offline, e.g. on planes, buses etc.
Then when I get back online I kinda expect the Mail App to send these mails instantly. However it does not do that. The mails are stuck in the outbox for up to 15-20 minutes after I get back online. The e-mails I have received while being offline are downloaded instantly as they should be. And if I then write new e-mails after getting back online they just get stuck in the same queue together with the other stuck e-mails.
Is there a fix for this? Do you experience the same? It is really annoying and making wonder if I should get another Mail App.
I have just installed the new Yosemite and I was hoping it had fixed the problem. But it hasn't...
I am working on a MacBook Pro 2013.
Thanks!

iOS does not run on MacBook Pros.
Drag the message to Draft mailbox and ensure the recipient is correctly addressed and send.

Does the new IOS 8 and instagram only allow pictures taken with the phone? as I can still choose from those, just not the ones I upload/save.
I don't know about instagram, but apps, that not yet have been upgraded to iOS8 can only access the photos that appear in the "Recently Added" album, because there is no longer a Camera Roll.
As a work-around, try to create an album of the photos you want to share to instagram. For other apps this helped to make photos accesible.

When using 3G on my ipad2, gmail won't send mail. The 2 emails i'm trying to send have 3 pictures attached and are stuck in the Outbox-checkd server under settings

Been trying to send 2 emails from Ipad2 with pictures attached from gmail. Both emails have been stuck in my Outbox and gmail continually tries to send but i keep getting a nessage that the gmail server can't be found. Went under settings, checked server and it seems fine. I don't have Wifi @home or else i'd try switching. Any ideas of what could be happenin'?

daviddavidff, we want you to be able to send and receive! If Earthlink has confirmed the outgoing server settings and you can access the email and send without issue from a labtop I would lean away from it being an issue with the account. If you can receive email then we know the device is communicating with the network.
I would try deleting the any email in the outbox folder http://bit.ly/1g1labk and then attempt to send a new email. Send the email to your own email address so we can verify success. Let us know if you can then send email.

My mail is stuck in the outbox AGAIN

Help, I have googled how to fix this problem and so far nothing has worked. Will I need to go to Apple to fix this problem?

Recheck that the settings in your mail software matches the needs of the mail server you are using.
Somebody here may be able to help you if you let us know the following:
Which mail software are you using? (the one supplied with your Mac? something you bought? which? some varety of webmail? which?)
Which mail provider are you using? (Apple's iCloud? gmail? something at work? something your ISP provided?)

My outgoing emails don't send, they are suddenly stuck in the outbox

I have gmail act which was working fine within Mac Mail. In the last few days all of my outgoing emails are stuck in the "Outbox" instead of sending...what changed?

Hi, nommo48.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand you are experiencing an issue with the outgoing server of your Gmail account on your Mac. I would check your gmail account to see if two-step verification is enabled as this can cause issues with sending and receiving mail. If the issue persists, take a look at the troubleshooting article below.

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:

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.

Still stuck on the Apple after many restores - battery maybe?

Hi! Do you think that a battery might be a problem while my iPhone 3GS is still stuck on the Apple after many restores? Tried different computers, nothing works, but restore is completed. First if turned off while watching a movie. Tried to restore many times but got a lot of 1602s. Than on a different computer, finally worked, connected to iTunes but still stuck on the Apple. Don't know what to do anymore.

Here are some reasons for your 1602 error:
Error 1604
This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode, put it into Recovery Mode.
Restore and wait for the error.
When prompted, click OK.
Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
Try to restore again.
If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
Error 1600, 1601, 1602
Follow the steps listed above for Error 1604. This error may also be resolved by disabling, deactivating, or uninstalling third-party security, antivirus, and firewall software. See steps in this article for details on troubleshooting security software.
If the phone has not been jailbroken, and given the age of the device, it could be a defective battery. Apple can fix that for you:
What is iPhone Battery Replacement Service?

TS3989 photos are stuck in the download position for 2 weeks now

the apple store gave me a new phone and my photos are stuck in the download position for 2 weeks now. how can i get them to download

• Log out of your iTunes store account. Go to Settings > Store > Sign Out Then press the Home button.
• Then press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously and don't release them when it brings up the Turn Off screen; keep holding them until the Apple logo appears.
• After restart, the Waiting should be gone.
 Cheers, Tom

My photos are stuck in the editing view

All of my photos are stuck in the editing view and I am unable to return to thumbnail view. I can move to different "events" and photos, but they are all in the editing view. When I select view and then go to thumbnails, the options are unavailable. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I probably didn't explain the problem clearly.
When I open an event I would like to see the collection of photos, in thumbnail version. Since last night, the photos are in the large view - one photo at a time. I have to scroll through them to find the photo I want. This is the case in all of my events and albums.
When I go to the view tab and click on thumbnails, the options are unavailable - they are there, but are light grey and they aren't accessible when I click on them.
When I refered to my photos being stuck in the editing view, I should have said they are stuck in the large view, showing one photo at a time only.
