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?)

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...

Drag the message to Draft mailbox and ensure the recipient is correctly addressed and send. -
I just downloaded the new OSX 10.8.3 operating system, and now my e-mails are stuck in the outbox. I've tried to send various ways with no luck. Help!
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. -
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. -

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,
TonyHi,
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:

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.

My mail is stuck, and the computer will not shut down and the Mail is not responding. What should i do?
Hi Clinton,
This happens to all the time and this is what I normally do. (Press and hold the pwer button until the computer shuts down) but, this doesn't seem to answer the real issue. Its just like you cut of the power to shut it down.
Kind Regards

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.

Very often emails stuck in my outbox, sometimes it can go 1 or 2 and leve the otheres in the box. Big problem for me help
Try to force close the mail app. Double tap the home button. You'll see the app icons and previews line up on the screen. Scroll sideways if needed to get to the mail preview. Flick that preview up and off the screen then single tap the home button to exit that mode. See if your mail will send.

Emails not sending, "stuck" in the outbox and no error message
I have been trying to send emails for a few days now and they will not send. They go to the outbox file and then the don't leave. There is no error message and my POP account, .mac account, and the smtp.mac.com are all working correctly. I can still receive mail. The emails don't get sent to the draft file.
What does “my POP account, .mac account, and the smtp.mac.com are all working correctly” mean? Which account has the problem? Those accounts are clearly not working correctly if you have this problem...
What does “The emails don't get sent to the draft file” mean? Which messages would you expect to be moved to Drafts and as a result of doing what?
I assume that the account is "online", i.e. Mailbox > Go Online appears disabled (grayed out), right? If that's the case, try this:
1. In Mail, move any messages waiting in Outbox to another mailbox (e.g. Drafts), to avoid losing them.
2. Quit Mail.
3. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/.
4. Locate Outbox.mbox and move it to the Trash.
5. Open Mail. A new (empty) Outbox.mbox will be created automatically. Check whether the problem is fixed.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. That is, ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder, i.e. /Users/username/Library.
