My mail goes directly to outbox instead of sending.

When I try to send mail, it goes to my outbox and never gets sent. I try to send from outbox and can not so that either. I am not tech savvy so if anyone can help me in simple terms, I would REALLY appreciate it.
Thanks

I keep getting this pop-up:

Is there a way to email a form without it going to the outbox of the sender

I'd like to use fillable forms on my website. The problem happens when the submit button is selected and if the user has Outlook or a MAPI mail program, the PDF form goes to the Outbox. I have no way of telling if responders have a MAPI complient email app or not. The Outlook users would have to wait until they perform a send/receive. Is there anyway to avoid this and immediately send the email to the address intended???

No, the document has no way of controlling this. Users may not even have a working email client installed, and instead have to manually attach the form or data file to an email. Many people use web-based email clients.
A much more reliable approach is to set up the form to be submitted to a web server, but this involves programming and managing the server. You can also distribute the form in Acrobat and use the Acrobat.com option of collecting the forms. The downside is you have no control of the server when things go wrong or if you need to customize.

Why does my email go to outbox instead of sending it?

When I send an email it goes to the outbox and will not let me send it.

You are not the only one with Gmail problems with Mavericks and I have looked at other peoples post and there does not seem to be one off fix.
Apple provided an update to Mavericks that partly fixed some problems with Gmail, this update was a few of weeks ago, did you install that update? This update was provided in December 2013, you can either check with the App store for any updates ot check the OS X version with the About Menu icon in the Apple logo, top left of the menu bar. The update is 10.9.1
This link from Apple will tell you more about it if it is not installed.

Other than that I use Gmail with Apple mail program and have not had any problems.
If the above is of no help, lets see if others have a better idea.

Sent emails in Mac Mail going straight into Outbox - how can I fix this?

For several days now my emails sent from Apple Mail, which is certainly ( when working ) the best email service I've used, has failed to send emails and instead lodges them in my Outbox, where they remain, and the Mail Activity slot at the bottom datailing the progress of outgoing messages
tends to come to a halt halfway along the progress bar.
Very frustrating.
Any ideas?
Thanks / Jim Raff

Launch the Connection Doctor (Mail.app Window > Connection Doctor) and (if you see any red-dot warnings from the first pass of the tool, and you probably will) open the details drawer and re-run the connection tests. If you can't figure out the error from what details are generated by the tool, post the expurgated data — edit out any sensitive data — and post it here.
Also (though this probably won't help) repair your mailbox. Mail.app Mailbox > Repair.
See if you can access the target mail via the web app, and see if there are any issues with that server; if things are working "normally" via the web interface. (Details of the web interface vary.)
Also confirm the outbound mail message doesn't exceed some limit on the mail server, such as the total storage quota for the target mail server, or the size of the message being sent; something that might cause the message to be rejected by the mail server.
In the above, I'm going to assume you are not running OS X Server here, and are just running 10.6 client. If you are running OS X Server 10.6, then you'll want to have a look at the mail server log files at a start. OS X Server has its own mail server, and debugging that is somewhat more complex than debugging the Mail.app mail client in OS X software, and some other mail server.

Incoming mail going to trash folder instead of inbox

About 20% of my new emails are deposited in the trash folder instead of my inbox.
How can I prevent this?

Your slow computer could be caused by a number of problems such as memory, hardware, or software issues. It isn't related to the problem you had with Mail.
First, I suggest you open Disk Utility and repair permissions on your boot volume. Then verify if the hard drive is OK, or does it show problems.
Restart the computer and see if you still have problems.
If so, I would just advise you to post a new discussion describing this problem so others with better knowledge could help you to figure out the problem.
Search google or these discussions on Slow Computer with Yosemite. There are many discussions on this already. You might also look into downloading EtreCheck and providing that information in your post. It will gather information from your computer to allow others to look and analyze what you have that could be causing issues.

E-mail going into trash folder instead of the normal destination

all of a sudden this started about 3 weeks ago e-mails were going into the trash the thing about it is I can't forward important mail to my friends etc from there
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== about 3 weeks ago

Hello James.
You should ask your email service provider for support. Firefox rarely has any kind of influence over this matters.

TS3899 Outgoing Mail goes into an outbox. I cannot access it

I have tried everything the help communities suggest. Nothing works. Nearly every day something winds up in the outbox for no discernible reason. How can I access mail in the outbox, edit it and send it? Judging from the number of questions about this problem on the websites, it is a common problem. Most of the time there is no answer to the questions posted about this problem. I have had no luck asking Apple Support.

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.

Mail goes to BULK folder , how to send it to the INBOX folder

When I try to send mail throgh the java mail concept it is going to the bulk folder , my requirment is to send the mail to the inbox , is anything i have to set to send the mail to the inbox.
Thanx in advance
Have a nice day.

I think its nothing to do with java mail api, it the mail service provider which filter the incoming mail and thinks that it is a junk mail adding it to the bulk folder. If you can open the email and mark the email through which u are sending mails as not junk, then the future email throug this address will be delivered into inbox.

Why is my sent mail getting stuck in outbox and not sending?

I have tried rebooting, Closing the mail application, And deleting my iCloud account from my phone. Messages do not get sent , mail says "sending" for awhile and then they appear in my outbox with the error exclamation icon. Tapping icon gives a menu saying connection to outgoing sever failed.

Are you still using iOS 7.0.3 as stated in your profile? if so, update to 7.1. If already on 7.1:
1. Reset phone (no data loss): Press both the home and power buttons, releasing when the Apple logo appears.
2. Delete and re-enter your iCloud account.

Why my sending mail goes to outbox?

I have tried so many ways to send email from my ipad but I am not able , all the mail goes automatically to outbox and stay there .
I turn on/off the ipad and also delete all the app in the back ground but still problem resist.
Could any body help?

Sound like the iPad is not connecting to your outgoing mail server correctly.
I had this same issue. I could only send email while at home, connected directly to my ISP.
Some mail servers require password authentication when sending while connected through other servers.
Settings > Mail > select the account.
Tap Outgoing mail server.
Enter your username and password and select Password authentication.

Incoming mail goes to wrong mailbox

I recently created a rule in Mail to send all messages from a certain address to a specific mailbox. Trouble is, now about 50% of ALL my mail goes to that mailbox (instead of the Inbox), even if it doesn't come from the address specified in the rule.
What do I need to do to make sure that incoming messages not otherwise directed by one of my rules all end up in my Inbox?

It sounds like an error in the mail rule. Pay particular attention to the Any or All criteria.

Outgoing emails from one account go into an 'outbox' instead of being sent

Have multiple email accounts in Mail on iPad which were all working fine. One of the AOL accounts began putting every email I try to send into the outbox instead of sending them. No error message - just 'this email has been placed in your outbox.' All settings/servers are identical to the accounts that are working properly. Deleted the offending account and then added it back. No change. Once, and only once, the emails sitting in my outbox just randomly sent. Some were a couple of weeks old. My workaround now is to open the email in the outbox and change the 'from' field to any one of the other 6 accounts - then it sends. This is not a good solution however because I set up these different accounts for different purposes. The offending email account works fine on both my Mac and my iPhone - when I send an email from the same account on those devices, it sends. Suggestions?

Thank you Chris CA - I double-checked - I do have correct username & password in outgoing mail server.
Again, no error message when I try to send - nothing about username or password or server....the only message I get is "placed in your outbox"

IPhone 5s doesn't ring and goes directly to voice mail. Do not disturb is disabled. Have reset network settings and did a hard reset. What am I missing?

Call your phone carrier - that's a problem for them to resolve.

My phone is dropping calls, doesn't ring all the time-goes directly to voice mail, do no recieve alert on when a text is recieved

1-My phone does not ring all the time upon recieving an incoming call, it goes directly to voice mail.
2- Not recieving alert tone upon recieving a text message.
3- Dropping calls also

We have the same problem widespread in our company with iPhone 4's and 5's:
- Fails to establish the call, dials but nothing happens
- Drops the call for no reason even though signal strength is good
- Recevie text alerts to notify of voicemail when the handset has not rung nor does it show missed calls
We migrated someone to a Samsung Galaxy S4 for a month and all these issues went away. Nothing to do with alert tones turned down or faulty silent switches.

My mail goes directly to outbox instead of sending.
