Outlook 2010 won't send msgs w/links

I have Outlook 2010 and I use Yahoo mail as my relay. Recently, any message initiated from Outlook 2010 which contains a web link won't send (stays in outbox). I have disabled all anti-virus software. I tried changing it to plain text - so that it
shouldn't even recognize it as a link. I've tried removing the hyperlink. Nothing so far has worked. Has anyone else experienced this?

Hi Friend,
Open MS-Outlook in safe mode and then try to send emails. There can be lot of reasons behind such issue if your emails are going into Outlook instead of sending.
Common causes of such disturbance are:
Offline Mode (enable it or work with Online Mode)
Send/Receive Settings (Change manually to Automatically)
Wrong password (sync web based mail password with Outlook)
Corrupted Outlook Data File (use scanpst.exe to repair and then try to send emails)
Antivirus scanning programs (disable these programs)

Outlook 2010 won't send/receive at startup or at scheduled intervals

I've searched through some of the forums, but can't seem to find anything... I have a user who's Outlook 2010 won't do a send/receive at startup, nor at the scheduled intervals I have it set to.... It works in safe mode, so I have everything set right, but
when I try to go in the regular way it won't work... I've unchecked all add-ins to make them inactive, one at a time until they all were, and it still wouldn't work properly.
I've created a new profile... confirmed the send/received settings under File>Options>Advanced>Send/Receive....
Any other suggestions?

Hi,
Do you have any kind of virus scanner integration? It may expose itself as an add-in in Outlook, try to disable it and check the result.
Please also try if this issue persists after you create a new Send/Receive Group.
Click File, and then click Options.
Click the Advanced tab.
In the Find Send and Recieve section, click Send/Recieve.
Under Group Name, click the group, and then click Copy.
Under Send/Receive Group Name, type the new group name, and then click OK.
Under Group Name, click the old group name.
Under both When Outlook is Online and When Outlook is Offline, click to clear the check box for Include this group in Send/Receive (F9).
Click Close.
Quit Outlook, and then restart Outlook.

I hope this helps.

Outlook 2010 won't send email after a move of the .pst file.

I moved the pst file from an external drive to C:. When I restarted outlook, it asked where the file was located. After selecting the pst file in the new location, it all appeared fine. The mail was there and could be read and new mail was received. However,
it was soon discovered that the outbox was piling up and no mail could be sent. I have tried creating a new profile as suggested in other help articles, but this simply created a new and different pst and mail structure. How can I get the old one to be
able to send mail again?
Thanks,
Mike

Hi,
What type of account are you using? POP3 or IMAP?
You mentioned you created a new profile to setup the account, can you send emails with the new profile?
If issue persists, some security program and firewall may cause the sent mail stuck in Outbox issue, please disable the firewall and anti-virus program to test the result again.
We can also run Outlook in Safe Mode to determine if 3rd-party add-ins caused this issue:
Press Win + R and type “outlook.exe /safe” in the blank box, then press Enter.
If there’s no problem in Safe Mode, disable the suspicious add-ins to verify which add-ins caused this issue.
In case the .pst file was damaged during the move, we can also run scanpst.exe to repair the .pst file, test if this helps:

Exchange 2010 SP3 UR8v2 - Outlook 2010 Sluggishness when sending an email - Green progress bar - I'm clueless

Hi All,
Really scratching my head on this one.
Prior and Post UR8v2 patching, some folks were experiencing an issue with their Outlook in which they'd try to send an email and then the dreaded green progress bar shows up.
Further issues today are Outlook 2010 pop-ups with the following:
Certificate pop-up (our OWA Cert) with the "IP Address" instead of something like "webmail.contoso.com."
Outlook pop-up with "Allow this website to configure
[email protected] server settings?" The autodiscover link contained the IP Address instead of the "webmail.contoso.com"
We have a 3 node CAS Array and a Cisco ASA that is serving up a VIP for "webmail.contoso.com."
I'm not even sure where to being. We are patching the CAS Boxes tonight. The folks that have had issues were all on different databases. I cannot seem to find a common ground.
Any thoughts you have I'd be very grateful for,
Mr Mister

Creating new mail profiles didn't resolve the issue. The issue would remain. It's impressive how complex the environments can be nowadays...Unified Messaging, Airwatch & Activesync, Cisco Unity, Symantec Vaulting, AV, Lync, Symprex Mail Signatures,
etc.
We don't use cached profiles due to issues experienced over the years with Calendaring items going wonky.
I dug into using ExMon.exe to try and view what was going on. Didn't really see much that stuck out.
Two of the CAS boxes had mail.que files that were around 1.3GB. I did resolve that last Friday and I'm not really certain if that was the fix(in addition, I saw MS15-009 get deployed from Desktop). I'm no longer receiving tickets regarding slowdown
and it's near impossible to receive correspondence back from the Users.
I also contacted Microsoft Support and we had plans to try the following:
Add host file entry (C:Windows/System32/drivers/etc) for “mycasarray.domain.org” - pointing to ‘IP’ of any one CAS server (CAS1/ CAS2/ CAS3), individually on certain selected 2 or 3 internal client PCs to by-pass load balancer
Note the exact time of issue with the user name and Outlook version
Try sending multiple emails without any signature
Check if able to send multiple emails in OWA without any delay or issue
Try sending emails without any signature
Try adding signature to Outlook email and check Outlook’s connection status to confirm if Outlook disconnected
Try launching Outlook using switch ‘Outlook /safe’
Check if any event getting triggered from Outlook source at time of issue in affected client PC (Application and System event logs)
I'm wondering...is it plausible that a mail.que file larger than 1GB could've caused issues? There were no space issues on the CAS boxes.
Thanks,
Mr Mister

Outlook 2010 won't update new messages unless you update folder

Hi,
Outlook 2010 sp1 with Exchange 2010 latest sp.
Scenario:
Some users are not receiving emails unless they click on update Folder. Once they do emails come in.
Troubleshooting:
No virus scanning outlook folder.
Delete the profile with OST and re-created it.
Send immediately when connected is enabled.
Cache Exchanged mode is enabled (Must be ...there are 15000 users with mailboxes here).
(If Cache mode is disabled everything works fine) This is not an option for us.
Download shared folders whether it is enabled or disabled still the same problem.
Help please,
Alexis

I would suggest your to start Outlook with /cleanips switch and check behavior,
Just click Start, click Run, type
outlook/cleanips, and then click OK. Microsoft KB article:

Outlook 2010 won't open after installing icloud for windows

Hi,
Installed icloud for windows at work this morning after moving my MM account to icloud at home on my MBP.
Installed ok but after ticking the mail, contacts, calendar and bookmark boxes on icloud for windows Outlook 2010 starts but won't open and stays on the "Processing..." for a long time before I close it.
Also the icloud for windows control panel won't reopen except the time it opens after installation. I have tried removing it and rebooting but after it's installed, if you close the control panel it won't reopen although it's still running in Task Manager. Closing it in Task Manager and restarting doesn't make a difference.
Currently I removed, rebooted and reinstalled and only have the bookmarks ticked and outlook works ok but the control panel still won't reopen.
I am on a exchange server so don't know if this is part of the problem. Not real worried about mail but would like calendars working again.
Very thankful for any help you can offer.

I had the same problem after successfully moving from MobileMe to iCloud yesterday on my PC, ipad and iphone.
Today I couldn't open Outlook 2010. An Outlook dialogue box for my MobileMe email account kept asking for the email password, and although I put the password in, it kept re-appearing.
I turned off Norton spam temporarily, because I noticed Outlook was stuck processing the Norton plug ins at opening, and managed to open Outlook but the programme crashed every time I tried to access my email account settings (I thought I would try to delete the MobileMe email account).
I then opened the Control Panel for iCloud and unchecked the Mail with Outlook box, which has enabled Outlook to work again. The @me.com email account was gone when I checked the email accounts. I never needed to use the @me.com email account anyway.
How frustrating and such a waste of my time.
Does anyone know what difference it makes if the MobileMe/iCloud email is not connected to Outlook? Does it really make any difference when you have your email accounts in the iPad and iPhone anyway?

Outlook 2010 won't sync with iCloud on the web

Outlook 2010 Calendar syncs with the iCloud Calendar in Outlook. Both are visible in Outlook, both are ticked. Calendar Sync is set up in iCloud Control Panel 2 and on settings on my iPhone & iPad. However, appointments don’t show in iPhone, iPad or iCloud on the web.

Here's what I've discovered: Outlook has two "versions," one for iCloud and one that is an Outlook data file ("My calendar"). You can check a box in Outlook to enable either of them (go to the Home tab and expand the navigation pane). The iPad does not sync with the Outlook data file. Anything entered there has to be manually copied to the iCloud version of Outlook in order to sync with iPad. So, to sync with iPad you have to uncheck "My calendar" in Outlook and then check "iCloud" and use that version of Outlook. But when I use the iCloud version, Outlook will not accept appointments sent to me by clients. It also screws up my communication with clients in other ways. So using the iCloud version of Outlook does not work for me.
I've discovered a third-party software that seems to solve this issue: Code Two Sync for iPad. You can Google it for reviews, the download link, etc. I downloaded and installed it and it immediately copied (synced?) all the appointments in the Outlook data file version of Outlook ("My calendar") to the iCloud version and synced them with my iPad. There were a bunch of duplicates, but I think there's some way to fix that. However...it also crashed Outlook on my computer (I have an older computer that is having issues). So I needed to uninstall it. I repeat, this is because my computer has been having other issues, I don't think it is the software's fault. I may try it again when I have more time to troubleshoot. Anyway, you might try this software and see if it works for you.

Outlook 2010 won't sync over the air with my iPhone 4s

I got my iphone 4s at the same time that my work switched to Outlook 2010. Now I can only sync calendars manually and not automatically over the air as I enter appointments. Plus, only appointments entered on the PC will sync with the phone - appointments entered on the phone won't sync with my work calendar at all. What's going on??? I don't know if it's a phone issue or an Outlook 2010 issue, since both changed at the same time. I did notice that new appointments typed on my phone are a different color than those entered on my PC, if that matters at all (it may just be a new feature of ios5).

Calendars in Outlook 2010 won't sync with my iPhone 3gs

Since I installed iOS 4.3 in my iPhone 3GS I cannot get iTunes 10.4 to sync my Calendars in Outlook 2010 with my iPhone. I have not changed any settings and it has worked without problems for the last year until I installed iOS 4.3
Can anyone help me sort this out.

Limiting Outlook 2010 account to send to a single address.

How can you set up an MS Outlook (2010) account so it can only send to one email address?

There's no built-in feature that can do that. You'd have to write VBA code or a custom add-in to enforce this, but even that approach is easily circumvented.
If you use Microsoft Exchange you may be able to enforce delivery locations, but you'd have to discuss this with your email administrator.

Outlook 2010 Professional Plus Send/Receive Issue

When my client leaves for the day and his computer is idle his outlook 2010 Professional Plus stops sending/receiving. Because of this NONE of his emails get forwarded to his phone when he is away from his computer. I've spent HOURS trying
to figuring this issue out, but I have not been successful. Please help me make send/receive work continuously.

Hi,
The user can’t send/receive any emails, not just can’t forward emails to his phone, right? If I’ve misunderstood something, please feel free to let me know.
Did he forward emails to his phone with Outlook rules?
Did he get any error message or the outgoing emails just stuck in Outbox?
Can he send/receive emails from web access? If not, please contact the user’s ISP to help resolve the problem.
If web mail works fine, we can follow the steps below to troubleshoot the issue on Outlook side:
1. Please check if Outlook shows Disconnect on the bottom of the Window. Hold Ctrl key and right click on the Outlook icon on the tray, click Connection Status to check if your email account is disconnected.
2. If the user installed any security programs, please temporarily turn off them to check the result.
3. Try to reset Send/Receive settings to check the result. To do this, go to
C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Outlook\
Locate the <profilename>.srs file and rename it to
<profilename>.old and restart Outlook to check the result.
4. If above not working, please try to create a new mail profile and setup the email account in the new profile to check the result.

Outlook 2010 won't connect to exchange 2010 - logon box appears

Outlook 2010 won't go back from Working Offline to Online

I am using Windows 7 Outlook 2010. Suddenly today, an icon Working Offline appeared on the Notification Bar. I was not working offline. My email could not receive or send. I rebooted more than a couple of times. I disconnected totally from the wall outlet. It did not succeed. I was and still am able to go online for everything else, just not Outlook. I googled the problem and saw repeatedly that I should go to Send/Receive then Preferences and uncheck Offline. I can't find Preferences anywhere and can't find info about where to find it.
(I am able to check my mail with Verizon Webmail but, of course, that is absolutely not what I want to have to do.)
After one of the times I rebooted, I could no longer access the Outlook Inbox. Then it suddenly appeared again. Right now, it is gone again.
What can I do to correct this????? Would a System Restore help? I hate to do that but I will if I must.
Thanks!!!!!

I would just verify your Server settings for the Verizon e-mail account in Outlook. See this article, since Verizon may have changed some things around that caused it to go offline for you. Likely, Outlook cannot connect to the server which you can most likely find out by doing a Send and Receive.

Outlook 2010 in perpetual Send/Receive mode

I am running 32 BIT Microsoft Outlook 2010 on Windows 8.1 64BIT system. My Outlook has been working fine since Windows 7 and a couple of months after upgrading to Windows 8. But two months ago, it started experiencing a perpetual Send/Receive mode and when
this started, only outgoing emails have been possible. I can leave it in this state for two days but will never complete the Send/Receive routine. There are no error messages displayed.
I am using POP3.
I am at wits end here as I have to rely on my desktop to access my emails while my Laptop is no longer behaving. Please help to resolve this issue asap.
Thank you,
SeisaT

... ...,it started experiencing a perpetual Send/Receive mode and when this started, only outgoing emails have been possible.
So your Outlook will send out but not receive? Have you checked your email on the web based access?
Are you able to see any unread messages there? If you can, then it is most likely a setting in Outlook, or possibly a port is blocked on your network. Try to check if your incoming settings are correct in Outlook, you might want to contact your ISP
for the info.

Hi,
You may need to create a new profile to setup your account:
