Message stuck in outbox - won't send

I've tried rebooting, switching airplane mode on and off, and several times now I just go back to the mailbox and the message is stuck in the outbox. The progress bar shows "sending 1 of 1", and the progress bar shows 100%, but the god damned message is still in there. I know the server is working because I just sent a test message to myself from Outlook 2003 through the same account and received it.
edit: I just tried switching to airplane mode and then powering off and on the iPhone. I checked the mailbox while still in airplane mode, then went to settings and turned off airplane mode and reconnected to WiFi and my network. Then I went to mail again, and the same thing happened. It looks like it is sending the message, but the progress bar just stops once it is completely full, and the message never sends.
PLEASE HELP! This thing is driving me NUTS! And of course it figures it would happen with one of the most urgent emails I've ever needed to send! HAHAHA!
Mike

Does it work, if you change the outgoing (SMTP) server from tge GMail server to your network operator's SMTP server?

  • Messages stuck in outbox when using "Send to Mail recipient" and outlook is closed

    A user who uses RPC over https all the time on his desktop in the office. In general
    he has no problem to send/receive emails. But when he tried to send a File through right click - > send to -> Mail recipient , New Email window opens and He changes
    the subject and add receipt and send email when outlook is close. The email stuck in outbox.
    any idea and how to fix it?
    Thanks in advance. 

    Hi,
    As what Roady says, it is an expected behavior. This is because the
    “spooler” which is something that manages the MAPI transports is working when Outlook is running. So when you sending messages when Outlook is not running, there is no spooler running, and so nothing is going to send your mail. The next time you launch Outlook,
    you will see the mail in the Outbox.
    For more information about this behavior, please refer to A trip back in time—the evolution of Outlook part of the following link:

  • Messages stuck in outbox but really sending many t...

    I have an E63 and just in the last few weeks whenever I try to SMS people the message is automatically sent to the outbox saying it will be resent at such and such a time for up to a few hours (unless I delete the message) but people are receiving the SMS multiple times without my knowledge (as my phone still has the message in my outbox). I have tried deleting all messages on my phone, taking out the battery, SIM card and memory card but none of that seems to work and I'm really not very keen to reset to factory settings for fear of losing all my **bleep** lol help!!

    Oh. I did use that code (then spent an hour trying to turn my phone back on!). It deleted my phonebook and since I'm **bleep** in checking that numbers are saved to my sim card... I wasn't very impressed. It seemed to do the trick, I can text again. I'm getting rid of the phone now though - I read on these forums that quite a lot of people have had the same kind of issue with the e63. Maybe I'm just a brat but I expect a phone to work properly for at least a year before giving me grief, especially a Nokia. I've only had it for 8 months!!

  • I'm using ipad2 with ios5. My outbox won't send mail. I guess i need an outgoing server and can't find it anywhere.

    I'm using ipad2 with ios5. My outbox won't send mail. I guess i need an outgoing server and can't find it anywhere. Any suggestions on how to get it to send. I have tried everything, rebooting, ensuring passwords are correct, etc.

    My problem is i don't have an outgoing server spot on my menu.  These are my selections. After getting to the menu that where i enter my password for hotmail, i have the following menu choices:  Email, then server (bay-m.hotmail.com, then domain (empty), then username, then password, thendescription, then Use SSL, then S/MIME
    I don't see or can find an outgoing server choice. My daughter has an ipad2 using Ios4 and she has all the choices that are illustrated on. All the help sites. I only have the ones listed above.

  • Mail won't quit and messages stuck in Outbox

    Having a very strange problem with Mail on my father's Mac Mini. It is not my computer so I'm not sure what has lead to this, but Mail will not quit, and every message we try to send gets stuck in the Outbox. The version running is Mac OS X 10.6.8, and the version of Mail is 4.6 (1085).
    I have tried removing all messages from the Outbox and then deleting Outbox.mbe. This hasn't worked.
    Has anyone else had this problem?

    Yes. Yes and yes. I don't want to sound like a broken record in these threads, but I got rid of Mac Mail shortly after 10.6. It became unstable and unreliable. I gave it another go with 10.8.1 and it was still a problem. IMHO it is a very weak client mail app.
    Finally I had peace in going for a web client (gmail) and problems went away.
    Just yesterday I spent hours on an unsolveable mail problem on my neighbors iMac. I finally just signed her up for gmail and imported address book and her old email server address. Simple.

  • Email outbox won't send messages??

    The settings to send mail from your phone is different than from your home PC. Who is your ISP?

    Click the Show Detail button. A drawer opens. Try to send one of the messages and post the text that appears. Anonymize any personal information before posting.

  • Messages stuck in Outbox of iPad Mini

    Can't send messages using Yahoo on iPad Mini, they get stuck in Outbox. Can't delete messages in Outbox either. Please help, thanks.

    Why did you post this in the category "Apple Branded iPod accessories"?!?
    Try reviewing your outbox data, SMTP, IMAP, POP3, whatever you are using, you might want to look up Yahoo for more detail.

  • Messages stuck in Outbox in Outlook

    We are running Exchange 2007 SP1 and Outlook 2007 SP2.
    We are increasingly recv'ing reports of users having messages stuck in the Outbox folder of their Outlook client. The messages are also visible in OWA, although the strange thing is that the messages do seem to have been delivered.
    There seem to be a multitude of posts about this issue, but nothing concrete - does anyone know if MS has found a fix for this?
    I can see this:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/948984.
    However, it states:
    "In this scenario, when you log on to the online account that uses this personal folder, the Outbox folder indicates that there is a message that is waiting to be sent. This message is visible only in Outlook Web Access. The message is not visible in Outlook 2007"
    - The difference is that we see this in Outlook 2007 as well.
    Anyone?

    Hi Yoshi,
    1. Would you please let me know whether your customer has same scenarios described by the KB (Move Sent Items from OST to local PST file) when the issue occurs?
    2. Whether the issue always occurs and can be reproduced? If the issue can be reproduced, please let me know the steps which reproduced the issue
    3. If the issue can always be reproduced, please let me know whether the issue occurs if you use OWA to send email or use Outlook Online Mode to send email.

  • Outbox won't send mail

    Had a problem earlier with my email account (Yahoo) being hacked, After resetting password all seemed to be well, but now my iPad won't send mail, it goes into OUTBOX but won't send. Receiving mail is no problem.
    I am new to iPad and need a bit of help.
    Thanks
    John

    Brilliant! Thanks Jaimi E.
    My iPad did resume 'normal service' after an overnight rest. I did not know that there was an imposed 24hr quarantine, but I do know that all's well now.
    I found The BT staff in their technical help desk were good at fixing the original hacking problem on my laptop, but totally helpless at sorting the iPad issues out.
    I had to talk to Apple help desk in UK who in turn put me through to the USA. Their consultant was great, but he undoubtedly didn't seem to aware of the quarantine imposed by Yahoo. I will try to get this information through to him for future information
    Thanks to all for your assistance.
    My message to anyone who reads this topic and has been hacked on Yahoo (or btinternet) is
    1 update security passwords on laptop. New password required. Delete all traces of hacked messages (inc failed delivery notices and real people's responses)
    2 uninstall your mail settings on iPad and reinstall with new mail password on iPad.
    3 the iPad mail system should then receive, but not send mail (goes into Outbox)
    4 wait 24 hours then everything will be back to normal.
    As a brand new user and about to go on a long holiday, it was a nightmare, but ended up fine!
    Now in Singapore at 6am local time, can't sleep so catching up on my machine which functions perfectly!

  • Messages Stuck In Outbox Vanished Into Thin Air

    I sent a bunch of important messages to my e-mail when browsing Safari, but for some reason they weren't going through and were stuck in my outbox.Now all of a sudden all those messages are nowhere to be found in my mailbox, and I know I didn't delete them.Would an update wipe them all out?Is there any way to recover them?I don't understand why all of a sudden they are gone.I have looked everywhere for them.

    I had an excellent Apple support agent named Luis who helped out. Re-installed the account partially. Discovered that there is in fact a bug in Yosemite. The mail client in mac will not save the outgoing server address and confusion amongst different mail account happens, added to outbox messages stuck. Hopefully Apple will correct bug in later OS X version. Case number 753401346

  • Messages on iPhone 6 won't send SMS

    Both my wife and I have iPhone 6. We only use the cellular network occasionally - it is rarely turned on.  We both use our home and work wifi networks.
    I have had to turn off iMessage on my phone, because I have friends who have switched to that other mobile OS, and they are not interested in telling Apple about it (as one must do to unregister from iMessage).
    My phone now refuses to send SMS to my wife - my phone insists that she can only get blue iMessages. I cannot find any way to turn the "Send" button green.
    Anyone got any ideas?

    Hmmmmm, that does not make any logical sense.
    If I understand correctly, you send a text only message to contact A and it sends fine
    If you send a message containing a picture to contact A it shows as delivered but never appears on their device?
    Has this been tried with multiple contacts?
    Does  basic MMS work?
    Any difference if your are connected to Wi-Fi? Cellular data?

  • Mail from apps stuck in outbox, can not send or move

    This is weird ... So I can send and receive email just fine on all my mail accounts but when I try and send a link from safari or a picture from the photos app it never sends. I don't hear a whoosh sound after sending and when I look in the mail app the message is just sitting there in the outbox.
    Even weirder is that I can forward these messages but can not send them. I can't even move the messages since my only choices are the trash or the outbox. Even worse the outbox doesn't show up at all on my mac when i sync, so these messages are stuck in my iphone somewhere in limbo.
    ... anyone else have this problem or know how to solve it?

    The same occurs with all accounts, or with one account in particular?
    Even weirder is that I can forward these messages but can not send them.
    Forward these new messages from where? You can forward a received message or a message that was successfully sent which will be located in the account's Sent mailbox, but you can't forward a newly composed message.
    Even worse the outbox doesn't show up at all on my mac when i sync, so these messages are stuck in my iphone somewhere in limbo.
    Email account mailboxes and messages and the iPhone's Outbox are not included with the iTunes sync process. Server stored mailboxes with an IMAP account are kept synchronized with the server with each email client used to access the account, but the Outbox mailbox with the Mail.app on your Mac and with the iPhone's Mail application is not synced with anything.

  • Messages stuck in Outbox until restart on Outlook 2013

    hi,
    We are experiencing issues with Outlook 2013 on an onpremise Exchange 2013 system.
    the issue only affects users with Outlook 2013 and messages queue up in the outbox until we restart Outlook. 2010 users are fine.
    The article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2862523 describes the issue exactly but i wanted to know if anyone has fixed this issue without disabling SPI on the firewall. The article says it is a temporary workaround as it puts the clients at risk and
    the last update was July 2014.
    Microsoft have already verified the on premise Exchange setup as we opened a call with the Exchange team before we discovered the article.
