Outlook 2013 Issues (Emails go missing when stucked in Outbox after restarted Outlook)

Hi,
I have being using Outlook 2013 for email but i have face for two main issues as below which is quite annoy me sometime.
1. Email stucked at Outbox (even is just a normal email without attahcment). Those emails which were stucked at Outbox will goes missing if i just close the Outlook and re-open the Outlook again.
2. Outlook will hangs/ freeze (showing Not Responding) when half way I just viewing my email in Inbox or I click on Calendar.
I have tried to some of the suggestion across other forums such as:
- Disable the add-in (example: Social Outlook Connector/ Lync Meeting (which i dont have it to use) and etc.)
- Checked on the Program Features and clear all the office plugin
- Change the Aero Setting in Windows
- Disable Anti Virus (Just guessing)
- Reinstalled the Office 2013 (Outlook 2013)
- recreated the Outlook profile
However after tried, the first two issue still happened and the critical part is the email will goes missing after i reopen the Outlook.
More Info:
- When the email stuck at Outbox, the Outlook is show "Connected to Exchange"
- My company is using Exchange Server 2007 R2 (not sure got any related or not)
Anyone can get help on this?!!! Thanks a lot!!!
The reason I re-posted this issue as the previous as remarked as answered but somehow after that no more ppl reply.. i need more ppl's suggestion here!!
Thank you

Hi,
Generally for emails stuck in Outbox issue, we need to try basic steps as below:
1. Work offline, move the stuck mail into another folder. Restart Outlook and Work online to send it again.
2. Temporarily uninstall or disable firewall and antivirus software.
3. Test in Outlook safe mode.
4. Create a new profile and re-setup your account.
As you have tried to disable Anti-virus, we also remind you to disable the firewall to test.
Please run MFCMAPI to check if there are emails or corrupted items that are stuck in Outbox, if yes, please delete them.

Here are some articles which use MFCMapi from where you can get some step by step guidance:

We can also perform a clean boot to determine if background programs are interfering with Outlook:

Outlook 2013 client doesn't sync new mails but syncs after restarting outlook

Hi Experts,
Here are the HW & SW.
DC1, ADC Windows 2012
Exchange 2013 MBX1 & MBX2 on Win2012r2
Exchange 2013 CAS1 & CAS2 on Win2012r2
Network : EXCHANGE ON LAN and Clients using MPLS link to connect Exchange CAS (10 mbps) 100 users.
Strange issue, only for few users like 4-5 outlook, when user opens outlook gets authenticated and outlook remain cached mode. But it doesn't gets the new mails it still shows online. But the same users they get the mails on their mobile device using Active
Sync promptly without any delay and new mails shows on the OWA too. When the user restarts his outlook starts receiving new emails.
Checked the following :
No Application error on event logs
All users are homed on same database on same server.
No throttling policy been configured and enabled except default one.
Webmail works fine and well
Restarting outlook syncs well
No network changes
Both internal and external mails are affected for the few users who has issues

Hi,
Since there is no sync synchronization issue on mobile device and OWA, it is highly possible of outlook client issue.
Make sure outlook client is the latest version.
Please disable the security AVG/Firewall, especially the mail scanner module to check whether this issue persists.
Run Outlook in Safe Mode to determine if it's 3rd-party add-ins related:
Press Win + R and type “outlook.exe /safe” in the blank box, then press Enter.
Please run scanost.exe to fix the .pst file to test the result:

Please try to recreate profile to check this issue.
If this issue persists, please let me know.

Outlook 2013 email stuck in outbox and after restart outlook deletes them

We're running outlook 2013 + Exchange 2010 SP3.
I have a user that twice now has called helpdesk to say his email is stuck in his outbox. His client was in cached mode but connected to the exchange server. The first time, after trying a manual send/receive, I exited outlook and very quickly saw the outbox
empty of the 9 items that were there. I went over to sent items expecting to see them there and they weren't. The recipients never received the emails.
Today, the same thing happened (it's 2 weeks later and he hasn't had the problem since) but this time we saved everything before exiting outlook. When outlook started again, the messages in outbox were deleted. I did message tracking on the transport servers
and they never made even made it to the hub transport. However, because I had a record of the precise emails he was responding to this time, I search for them and they actually show that he has replied at X:XX time, but they were never sent.
I think this has something to do with cached mode so I've switched his client to online mode in the meantime but I was wondering if anyone has seen anything like this. It's the first time I've ever seen outlook (Any version) actually delete email.

I'm getting the exact same thing with one of my users.
We're using Gmail connecting to outlook through a add-in (Google Apps Sync).
The user in question has this occur about once a month. As we don't use exchange it can't be the link to exchange that's causing this. I think it's got to be down to something in the local mail cache, OST file?
We have a lot of users in our business, none have reported this issue apart from this one user. The only thing which differentiates this user from the rest is that she has a lot of PST files mapped and open at any time. I'm talking like 30+ which is
killing performance. I know this is a huge NO NO in terms of operations but this user is adamant that she needs each and every PST open. She has management back her up with this so my hands are tied. I'm wanting to abolish outlook and just use gmail, just
so that I have an excuse to get all her mail in the cloud.
But anyway, this has to be something to do with the local mail store running out of memory or something like that.
If I ever get mails into the cloud, I'll let you all know if this issue stops occurring.

Outlook 2013 sending email using template not working properly...

I've created several email templates by doing the following:
open new message
add some tekst in the body
save as > oft file
Now when I open such oft file I add some modifications in the body text and send the message. However, the send item does not contain the modifications I just made, only the text that was included in the template.
We're using Outlook 2013 SP1 (with all microsoft updates installed) with Exchange 2013 SP1 standalone server. Is this a Outlook or Exchange issue and how can I resolve this?
Thnx Remco

Hi Remco,
Please also try to start Outlook in safe mode and test again to check if this issue continues. To start Outlook in safe mode, press Windows key + R to open the Run command, type
outlook /safe and press Enter.
If problem continues in Outlook safe mode, please try creating a new mail profile and reconfigure your email account, then creating a .oft template to test this issue again. For your convenience:

Outlook 2013 Issues with Connecting to Gmail Exchange

Outlook 2013 will not connect with Gmail account on cas_array.yourhostedexchange.com server.
Error message below appears each time I try to set up the account:
The action cannot be completed. The connection to microsoft exchange is unavailable. Outlook must be online or connected to complete this action.
Occasionally it will set it up, then it reverts to 'Trying to Connect' .... maybe lasts a day working fine at the most.
Have attempted to use Outlook 2010 as never had issue when using this platform previously - also failed. Bigpond email as pop account is working fine.
Suggestions?

Hi,
According to your description, there is connectivity issue about your Gmail account. If I misunderstanding your meaning, please feel free to let me know.
If yes, I recommend you contact with Gmail support for more professional help.
If it’s Exchange account, I recommend you firstly check the connectivity by using Test Email AutoConfiguration:

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.
sg

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.

Outlook 2013 duplicating emails

Hey guys, I've recently been having an issue with Outlook 2013 where it duplicates every email in the inbox, but when you scroll through them, the duplicates disappear one by one. This is off an Exchange 2010 account.
Has anyone else come across this issue before?
Thanks,
Evan

Hi Evan,
can you reproduce the problem in OWA?
Have you tried /cleanviews switch? To open Outlook with /cleanviews switch, press Windows key + R to open the Run command, type
outlook.exe /cleanviews and press Enter.
We can also try to navigate to the ost-file and rename it to .old, then restart Outlook to check if it helps.
If above didn't helps, please try to create a new mail profile in Control Panel and reconfigure your email account in the new profile to check the result.

Outlook 2013 - Read emails keep switching back to Unread

I have this weird problem with 2013 Outlook client and Exchange 2010 where on random some of read emails will switch back to unread state. Its very annoying specially when you have executives sending you emails and you can't tell if this is a new one or
one that you read and took action on.
Company's desktop support folks say that there is nothing wrong with my exchange account. I told them it has to be my account/maillbox or some setting on exchange as this is happening on two different machines. One is a windows 7 pro laptop, the other one
is windows 7 pro desktop. both 64bit version of windows but 32bit version of outlook/msoffice 2013.
I only installed outlook on the desktop to see if my outlook on laptop was the culprit. but since both clients are behaving the same way.. it has to be something on the exchange side.
Appreciate any help I can get.
Thanks.

Hi Apple,
The issue could occur if the sync between the Outlook client and OWA is not completed or the Outlook data file in the Outlook client is corrupted, every time when syncing to OWA, it will change the status back to “Unread”. To narrow down the issue, please
try the steps below:
Disconnect all the clients connected to the account except OWA.
Make the message as read in OWA, then check if the status will be changed back.
If not, open Outlook, then check if the status will be synced to Outlook.
If the status changes to unread again in OWA, it could be related to Outlook.
In addition, you can also try to re-create outlook profile and check if any helps.

I'm not very clear with your question, would you please provide more information about how to reproduce this issue? It would be better if you can provide a screenshot on this issue. You can upload the screenshot to
OneDrive if you cannot paste it here.
Assuming you are talking about the From, subject fields missing from the search results when using instant search, we can try to start Outlook with cleanviews switch to check if it helps. To do this, press Windows key + R to open the Run command, type
outlook.exe /cleanviews and press Enter.

Outlook 2013 - duplicate emails in subfolders

Hello!
I'm using Gmail...thenIMAP Outlook 2013. In Outlook, I have created subfolders under my Inbox with RULES that move emails to those subfolders. Well, when the rules run, they are duplicating the emails when moving to the subfolders...there was originally
1 email sent and goes into the inbox as 1 email. But when the rule runs (I have verified I only have 1 rule feeding this subfolder), it duplicates it. I don't know if Outlook is sending/receiving too fast so it sees 2 emails and that's the problem? What is
the best send/receive timing to put on IMAP accounts? I had it to send/receive every 1 minute, but I'm worried this could be causing it. Any other thoughts/suggestions how to fix this issue? Thank you for your time!

Usually a “Move to folder” rule will give you some duplicates. This is because for each e-mail received, Outlook will fire all configured rules against it. So,you might need to add the
stop processing more rules option to each rule that you have set up.
Here is how to do this step-by-step:
1. Go to the Home menu.
2. Click Rules and select Manage Rules & Alerts…
3. Double-click your rule in the Rules and Alerts window.
4. After the rule is open, select Next to go to the Select Action(s) window.
5. Select Stop Processing More Rules.
6. Click Finish
7. If you have multiple rules, you may need to repeat this cycle for each rule that you have active.

Outlook 2013 - moving emails from search results to folders.

in outlook 2013 - when trying to move a few emails that were found from search results to various folders - the emails doesn't move to the folder that i specify.
no error message!

Hi,
What type of email account are you using?
How did you move the emails? Via dragging/dropping or right-clicking and selecting Move? Please try both methods to see the result.
I used to see a similar issue caused by a problematic add-in. Please try starting Outlook in safe mode to see if this issue continues. To do this, press Windows key + R to open the Run command, type
outlook /safe and press Enter. If the problem would be gone in safe mode, please go to File > Options > Add-ins and disable suspicious add-ins to fix the issue.
Please let me know the result.

Outlook 2013 archiving doesn't work when cached mode is enabled

Hi All,
I have a problem in Outlook 2013 which I've been able to replicate on two separate PCs, operating against two separate Exchange servers. In both cases, archiving of old items does not work in Outlook 2013 when cached mode is enabled. It works
fine if cached mode is switched off so I don't believe the problem is related to the archiving settings.
Has anyone else come across this?
Thanks,
Matt

Based on my knowledge, Outlook auto archieve setting is stored in registry and only affects on local host.
If the AutoArchive doesn't work anymore, please refer to the follow article to troubleshoot the issue
http://www.howto-outlook.com/faq/archivenotworking.htm
If we are talking about Microsoft Exchange Online Archiving, I think it would run fine when you in Exchange online mode as your expected.

Weird/Complex Exchange/Outlook 2013 Issue

I posted this in the Outlook forum but I was given the recommendation to post it here so I thought I would see if anyone could help.
So we have a client that is creating Outlook calendar events in Outlook 2013 who is running on Exchange 2007 running on a SBS2011 server. In the body of that message they are putting tons of text in it [primarily it is how they are communicating about
the events]. Some users see all the text and some don’t either on their iPhone or in Outlook 2013. They are all using the same version of Outlook. We were told that the mailbox could be corrupted [I don't think so because nothing else is affected]. Another
person stated that Microsoft only allows a certain number of characters in the body of the calendar appointment and this issue is not resolvable. Does anyone here have any ideas as to what could be the problem and if it is truly unresolvable?
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hi Cale,
Does the problematic user see all the text via OWA?
I also recommend you try the following methods to troubleshoot the issue:
1. Change the problematic user's PC and use a normal user's PC to check if there is the same issue.
2. Try moving the problematic mailbox to another database and check if any helps

Outlook 2013 change email boxes (views) between different users

When using outlook 2013 on my workstation, there are several different test accounts that have been setup. However can you show me how to switch between the different email accounts?

Hi,
Did you set the different test accounts in same Outlook profile or separate profiles?
Seems you have setup them in separate profiles, if this is the case, we can switch between different email accounts by changing the Outlook profile. To do this, open
Control Panel, locate and click Mail (32-bit), then click
Show Profiles button, switch the profile by changing the
Always use this profile drop-down menu.
In addition, we can start Outlook using the /profiles switch to open the
Choose Profile dialog box each time Outlook opens. To do this, press Windows key + R to open the Run command, type
outlook /profiles and press Enter.
Or, we can use the /profile profilename switch to load the specified profile. If your profile name contains a space, enclose the profile name in quotation marks (" ").
If I've misunderstood something, please feel free to let me know.
