TS3276 Gmail outgoing mail stuck in Outbox-please help

I have several Gmail accounts and one particular account is putting all of my outgoing mail in the OUTBOX when I send from my Macbook Pro, but not from my iPhone.
How do I fix this?
Thanks!

Are you using mail.app?
Have you tried going to Message in the Menu Bar and selecting "Send Again" ?

Iphone 4 outgoing mail stuck in outbox

I have an iphone 4, which I love. I have 4 accounts on my email. All 4 receive email. All 4 send email. But only 3 send email as a reply. The 4th sends it for ever to my outbox and says my account is not recognized by the server. Even tho I didn't have to do it for the other 3, I found that by adding @comcast.net to my email name on the outgoing mail line, it worked. The one that hadn't been working had a longer name than the rest. Perhaps that had something to do with it.

i would love to post to your cited forum, but cannot find it in the directory
even mail application is not in the directory
when i click on your link i come directly back to what i suspect is the os 10.7 oper sys forum.
more info please
my posting
no issues until recently when the incoming mail from my internet providers primary mail box, [email protected], does not always show up in my "primary" mailbox. it does show up in the aggregated "inbox" mailbox. i have done a mail box rebuild to no avail. have preferences been changed? - have i inadvertantly changed them?
i am now running os 10.7.5 and mail version 5.3. verizon fios is my internet provider.
about the time of the issue start, i renewed verizon fios with the same features and services, but the internet speed increased substantially. i did not change any fios adaptations or preferences - to my knowledge.

Outlook 2013 mail stuck in Outbox

We just started using Outlook 2013 and Exchange 2013 (Fresh install) but we got a problem with additional mailboxes.
When you open additional mailboxes on your exchange account settings where you have send as permissions and full access and then send an e-mail from that mailbox it stays in the outbox. Sending an e-mail in owa works fine from the mailbox.
What can this be?

We need to try basic steps for this mail stuck in outbox issue as below:
Work offline, move the stuck mail into another folder. Restart Outlook and Work online to send it again.
Temporarily uninstall or disable firewall and antivirus software.
Test in Outlook safe mode.
Create a new profile and re-setup your account.
Let me know the resualt. Thanks.

ICloud outgoing email stuck in outbox

I have a 32 GB, WiFi-only, iPad 2. I have multiple email accounts on the iPad, but lately my iCloud email account refuses to send emails. The email messages essentially get stuck in the outbox. The pinwheel spins for a time before a red exclamation point shows up. When I click on the exclamation point, I receive a message indicating "the connection to the outgoing server 'p05-smtp.mail.me.com' failed. Additional outgoing mail servers can be configured in Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars." None of the other accounts on my iPad experience this problem. Meaning, I can send and retrieve messages from the other accounts without fail. Plus, my iCloud account receives email messages just fine. The problem only seems to relate to messages that I send via my iCloud account. I've seen a few posts about this problem on this and other sites, but none seem to identify a solution to this issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sending mail "Stuck" in Outbox??

I have mail that is not being sent to valid email addresses. They are still in my outbox.
3 Questions:
1) How do I force mail to be resent from the outbox?
2) If there are 3 messages in cue & message #1 has an invalid email address will it prevent messages numbers 2 & 3 from being sent?
3) If I put 10 correct email addresses in a recipient list and one address is incorrect, will the mail be sent to the 9 correctly typed email address and alert me that one address was unavailable or will the one incorrect address prevent the email from going out?
Thanks in advance!

> 1) How do I force mail to be resent from the outbox?
By fixing the problem that prevents it from being sent. There is no way to answer that with the information you’ve provided. What’s the problem exactly? What error messages do you get, if any? Are this mail account and the associated outgoing (SMTP) server provided by your ISP or by someone else?
> 2) If there are 3 messages in cue & message #1 has an invalid email
address will it prevent messages numbers 2 & 3 from being sent?
AFAIK, a message stuck in Outbox doesn’t prevent other messages from being sent. The reason why the message stuck in Outbox couldn’t be sent is irrelevant — unless it’s the same reason the other messages cannot be sent either, of course.
3) If I put 10 correct email addresses in a recipient list and one address
is incorrect, will the mail be sent to the 9 correctly typed email address
and alert me that one address was unavailable or will the one incorrect
address prevent the email from going out?
The message will be either sent to all recipients or not sent at all. Whether all the recipients receive it is another story. If Mail puts the message in Sent, that means the outgoing server told Mail that the message would be delivered (to all recipients). If the message remains in Outbox, the message wasn’t sent to any of them.

Outlook 2013 with Exchange 2013: Mails stuck in Outbox

Hi everybody,
I am using Outlook 2013 connecting an Exchange 2013 server. After sending a mail, all outgoing mails remain in the outbox. After removing the cache files it works for a while until the problem occurs for the next time (approx. once every two days).
I already re-installed Windows 8 to test it on a completely clean environment...OWA works fine, the problem only exists with Outlook.
Additional note: It might be interesting that after sending a mail, the "Send/Receive progress" window states "sending [email protected] - complete" but the Mail is still in the outbox and was not delivered to the recipient. Safe mode doesn't work
for me. Other users connecting with Outlook 2010 don't have a problem with this exchange server.
Do you have any ideas? If I can provide you with further information, please let me know.
Greets,
Basti

Thanks for your answer. Here are the requested information:
>What addins are you using?
No 3rd party addins, at the moment "Microsoft Exchange Add-In", "Microsoft VBA for Outlook Addin",
"OneNote Notes about Outlook Items" and "Outlook Social Connector 2013" are activated. But the problem also occurs if no addin is active (or even in Safemode).
>Antivirus
scanners can prevent Outlook from moving messages to the sent folder.
I will try to deactivate the virus scanner the next time. (Avira is used)
>Can
any address trigger this behavior or does it happen with certain addresses?
No, it does happen with any address by random. Once the problem occurs, I can try to send as much mails as I want to
any address - nothing leaves the outlook client.
>Is
this your mailbox or a shared/secondary mailbox?
It is a user's mailbox, nothing shared.

Office 365 mail stuck in OUTBOX

Hi,
We recently upgraded our Exchange Environment to Office 365. Suddenly my users started complaining e-mails would be stuck in OUTBOX. It would say sending but the bar would load forever. The only way to stop this is to restart OUTLOOK and then the mails would
be sent. All the new emails would be received too.
On the web I found out that people that were using a DLINK router had to turn off SPI. We were using a DLINK router too but we didn't have the SPI turned on. But to be sure I swapped the DLINK with a Cisco. The problem still persists.
http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/382519-outlook-stuck-on-outbox-if-left-idle
I also deleted some users' OST file and would reload it to see if this would improve the situation. Also this didn't help.
All my users surf via a squid proxy server. I don't and I never had the problem, so I changed my settings so I would surf via the squid proxy server and I also experienced the problem. I found this article on technet.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/onthewire/archive/2014/03/04/network-perimeter-tcp-idle-session-settings-for-office-365.aspx
I was wondering if there are other sysadmins out there who experienced the same problem with using Office 365 and squid. Do you have any solution for it? Because I haven't found one yet.
Kind regards,
Michael

Hi Mike,
How about sending emails to external via OWA on your laptop and desktop?
If working well in OWA, it seems an issue on the Outlook 2013 client side.
Please try to run Outlook under the safe mode to avoid some AVs and add-ins.
Please try to re-create profile to refresh the caches.
If not working in OWA, since Exchange 2013 is different from Office 365, I suggest ask Office 365 forum for help so that we can get more professional suggestions.
For your convenience:

Also suggest collecting detailed error from App log.
Thanks

Mail stuck in outbox

All of my mail isn't being sent and is sitting in my outbox.
I ran mail connection doctor and it said that my account name XXXXX
'connection and login to server succeeded.'
but on smtp.mac.com:XXXX and other mail.MYSITE.com the connection doctor had these messages
'Could not connect to this SMPT server. Check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the Account preferences
my cpanel under e management tools says this about my email
Be sure to enable SMTP Authentication in your Email client or you may not be able to send outgoing mail. If your mail client has trouble using a @ sign in the login, you can use a +, :, or % sign instead
My email preferences accounts has this information
account type POP
Description [email protected]
Email Address [email protected]
Full Name MY NAME
Incoming Mail Server mail.MYSITE.com
Username [email protected]

And finally I did not renew my .mac account as I did not think I needed it
it expired July 24 this year
I use another email client on my cpanel, but it ***** compared to the safari mail, so I appreciate any help. I am able to get mail, but not send it.
I did not change anything that I know of before this happened. Now I admit I may have messed it up even more by tinkering with it to try and get it working. I have mac care package, can I call apple and have them help me out of this?

The outgoing server settings information you've provided, which is what really matters, is too vague and confusing for anyone here to be able to help you.
Mail Help has some articles devoted to sending problems, e.g. "I can't send email" or "I can't send email because the connection to the server on port 25 timed out". You may want to take a look at them in case there is something there that applies to you. Something that usually works is changing the outgoing server port to 587 instead of 25.

Mail stuck in outbox. Mac locks up

I know there is a known issue with mail and there are numerous threads on the mail memory leak. I am amazed a core app like mail has been neglected by apple for so long but anyway.   I have a mail stuck in the outbox and cannot get rid of it due to the memory leak. Within a few seconds of launching mail the app hogs 10gig of ram and counting which doesn't give me change to get to the offending message. I cannot rebuild mailboxes either. I have been told it might be a gmail issue but I cannot do a thing once I click the dreaded mail icon. Any pointers would be appreciated

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
          SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then launch Mail and wait for it to do whatever it's doing. Select any lines that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.

Outgoing mail collecting in Outbox

Using Yosemite Mail, I have 4 email accounts, two of which are through gmail. When I send an email from my non-gmail accounts they go out promptly. When I send an email from one of my gmail accounts i starts to collect outgoing messages in the Outbox and does not send them. I have changed the gmail application-specific passwords in Preferences and even generated new app-specific passwords through Google. It will only send if I shut Mail down and restart it.
It appears that Mail was changed in Yosemite to be more picky about the format of the Preferences page.
Has anyone else seen this? Do you have a work-around? I am currently not sending anything from my Gmail accounts (no problem receiving emails there.)

Each Gmail account must have it's own app specific password.
Note: OS X 10.10.3 will have improved two step authentication for Gmail support. See: http://9to5mac.com/2015/02/06/os-x-google-2-step/
the Public beta for OS X 10.10.3 was released today so you should see this soon as an update.

Outgoing Mail stucks in queue

Hello,
We have an issue where outgoing mails for specific only domains are stuck in queue (Snow Leopard Server 10.6.8)
Here is the SMTP logs for those specific messages:

I have disabled ClamAV and Spam. I have tried to release the queue again using postsuper, but no luck.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks. I have used mxtoolbox.com to check for blacklisting. It reports this:
NOMOREFUNN
LISTED
Dynamic IP or generic rDNS. Use your ISPs mail service, or whitelist at: Detail 1177421238
Return codes were: 127.0.0.3
1927
62
UCEPROTECTL3
LISTED
Your ISP FORTHNET-GR FORTHnet/AS1241 is UCEPROTECT-Level3 listed for hosting a total of 1334 abusers. See: Detail
Return codes were: 127.0.0.2
But nomorefunn indicates that the blacklisted IP is a result of blocking the whole ISP subnet.
I asked for a whitelisting from nomorefunn, but in uceprotectl3 does not have that option.
What else should I do?

Kostas

Mails stuck in Outbox when sending as shared mailbox

Hi
I have some users who use a shared mailbox [email protected]
Their primary mail is their own [email protected] and the shared mailbox is the secondary. When they try to send mail as [email protected], the mails get stuck in the Outbox folder or the shared mailbox. Sometimes, only one user has a problem, sometimes 3 of
them (there are 6 members). Sometimes the problem is resolved, sometimes the problem happens again. Sometimes, the mail will be stuck in Outbox for 10 seconds then send. The recipient does not receive the mail when it gets stuck on the Outbox. I tried to add
a test user with the same privilege as this group and tried to log-in the computer of the user who is having the problem. In the test user, mails can be sent as the shared mailbox, but going back to the original user, it gets stuck on the Outbox. So I think
this is not a problem of the computer. I tried to check if the DelegateSentItemsStyle can be changed but this parameter is not existing in the registry of the user. Any advice? Thanks.

Hello meowchao,
It puzzles me that they sometimes can send. Do you know Powershell?
If so, please run the following command:
Get-MailboxPermission [email protected]
(where you type the proper name of your shared mailbox)
In the list produced, does all users who should have access to this mailbox appear and have full access?
If you don't know Powershell: http://help.outlook.com/en-us/140/cc952755.aspx
Best regards George
