Sent Email Sits in Outbox

It is weird that this problem came out of the blue. Started about 1 week ago, everyone of my SENT email gets stuck in Outbox. I have to manually open EACH email in the Outbox and click Send again. Then they will go out to their destinations. This happens
to all my emails. It does not matter whether the email has attachment or not. Clicking F9 / Send and Receive all folders button does NOT send the emails in the Outbox. I checked the Options and the Send Immediately box is checked.
My setup: Win8 64 bit, Outlook 2010 64 bit, Norton Security Suite V21.
Please help. Thanks,
Hai

Hi,
Many reasons may cause such issue, such as:
1. An add-in that marks items read if you view the Outbox
2. Wrong password or not authenticating properly with the mail server
3. Outlook or the mail server is offline
4. No default email account is set
5. Corrupt Send and Receive Settings
Please refer to the following article and try the steps to troubleshoot the problem:

Please let me know the result.

Emails sitting in outbox

Emails sitting in outbox- message says "no password provided- go to mail account settings and enter password" however when I do this it then says server does not support password authentication!! It should not be this hard to send an email. I have checked settings a hundred times, is there a simple solution? Very frustrating! Thanks

possibly like me you don't use the pop3/x email a lot but want to send from time to time.
in "fetch', i've selected a "manual" fetch instead of at various time intervals and what's happening is sent emails go into the outbox until a "fetch" occurs, either at a time interval like my pc or when i do a manual fetch.
all sent emails go into the outbox until the fetch occurs and then, only will the mail be sent but you'll receive whatever's available into the inbox.
i find it easier to text to an email address than dink with this pop3 email.
to save downloading everything on the fetch, i check cox.mail or rr when i was in hawaii to see if i need to reply to something.
hope this helps.

Shared mailbox outlook 2013 sent mail sitting in outbox folder

Hi guys,
I am hope you might be able to assist.
I have users who access a shared mailbox (primary mailbox) as delegates with full permissions and send as permissions. They also have a nested mailbox which is their own personal mailbox. Mail sends from both mailboxes and when it behaves mail gets delivered
to the sent item of the sender. But on a common recurrence mail sits in the Outbox of the delegate mailbox when sent from that mailbox. They can hit send/receive and it will force mail to send and also mail can delay for several minutes at times. This is also
seen in OWA.
Removing the nested mailbox and adding it as a additional mailbox allows mail to flow without issue but mail sent from the additional mailbox gets placed in the sent items of the primary mailbox. Client would prefer the sent items to be kept separate (tried
DelegateSentItemsStyle).
The exchange is a Exchange 2013 VM server and the client's use remote desktop services to access the platform. Also each Windows mail client is configured to use HTTP and cache mode is disabled for remote services. Last applied update was on the 08/2014.
Your help will be greatly appreciated.
PJ

Hi,
From your description, when you send a message from shared mailbox, the message is sitting in Outbox folder. I have seen some people have this issue, it is recommended to run Outlook using Cached mode as a workaround.
Hope this can be helpful to you.

IOS 8 sent emails moved to outbox with recipient removed

Hi,
I've been trying to send emails with iOS 8 (iPhone 5S). I'm finding that the email isn't being sent, but is sitting in the outbox. Strangely, the recipient address has been removed too. It seems that if I try a couple of times (adding the recipient address again while the email sits in the outbox) I am able to make the recipient stick and eventually it will send!
Any help would be appreciated!
And yes, I have tried deleting the email accounts from the phone and setting them up again So far I've avoided a full restore of the iPhone though...

I have exactly the same problem but nothing to do with the keyboard.
I notice that it happens if I send email and the phone is not able to send them at that time (plane mode or simply out of coverage) as soon as I have back the coverage the mail remains stacked in the outbox with no destiny address

How to send email sitting in outbox?

I wrote** an email on my iPod touch and when I sent it, there was a server error. I know this sometimes happens because Gmail servers sometimes go down. This was exactly the case because my laptop was also having trouble connecting to Gmail's outgoing server. In any case, now my written** email is sitting in the outbox and I have no idea how to execute the send command. When I tap on the email, it opens it but there is no "send" or "re-send" command. There's the "reply" and "forward" command but neither fit the bill.
(**) I think writing an email on the iPod touch is a misnomer. We need a new verb like "peck" so maybe "I pecked an email on my iPod touch...." tee heee.... Yes, I'm a touch typist (and fast one at that) so it's pecking to me and not typing.
Message was edited by: Conal Ho

Ah! I see the iPod touch has re-sent the message on its own. That's good.
Still, I wonder how to re-send a message that I find in my "Sent" box, for instance.

Emails sitting in Outbox - delay sending being set to 17:00 by default

I am using Outlook and Exchange 2010 on a SBS server, emails from two users are not being sent, i.e they are sitting in the Outbox. On closer inspection
the delay sending time is set to 17:00. If this is removed the email goes. I believe this is a problem with a corrupt 'normal.dotx' file but if the template is replaced Outlook replaces it with the corrupt one. In the meantime I have created a new message
template with the delay time set to 00:00 and used a macro to display it and it works fine. Is there a fix for this problem?

Hi,
From your description, emails from two users are sitting in the Outbox and not being sent when the delay sending time is set to 17:00.
Delay or schedule sending email messages is an Outlook feature. Actually, we have a dedicated support team regarding the Microsoft Office Outlook. I recommend you ask your question on our Outlook forum which is staffed by more experts specializing in this
kind of problems. Thanks for your understanding.
Hope it helps.

Email sits in outbox when sending

I have an intermittent problem where mail sent using an exchange account sits in the outbox until I go into the outbox, retrieve it and click send again. This does not happen all the time, which is a problem, since I never know if the mail is sent or not without checking the outbox. Anyone else have this issue? I am running 3GS with 4.1.

Do you have any single bars when this happens, and does it say "3G" at the top of the screen by the AT&T logo?

Email sitting in outbox

I have noticed that over the past month or so, that emails will sit in my outbox for up to 2 minutes. All of my users are experiencing the same issue. The odd thing is that it's not consistent. Sometimes, emails will leave immediately. Other times, they will delay for up to 2 minutes. Everything does send out, so this is more of an annoyance than a serious issue. But i’d still like to get to the bottom of it.
These are emails with no attachments. I eliminated it being a DNS issue by using the IP address as the SMTP server. I still get the delay.
I am also having a handful of users saying that some (certainly not all) incoming and outgoing emails are being delivered several hours later. (Not sure if this is related). Some as long as 12 hours. I have tested most major domains and all get delivered within 5 minutes. (Gmail, .mac, yahoo, comcast, AOL, etc)
We did do an update on the server from 10.4.2 (possibly 10.4.3) to 10.4.8 about a month ago, then recently to 10.4.9. The problem may have started after that first upgrade, but I cannot be certain. Were running an xServe G5. We recently started a iChat server as well. I did disable the jabber server and still had the same issue tho.
This happens from 5 different offices (MD, PA, VA, NJ, TX) as well as Comcast home users. so everything points to the Email server (or possibly our ISP)
I have yet to find any type of fix for this issue and was hoping someone here would have some advice for me.
If you need any more info, let me know.
Thanks all!!

Sent emails does not appear in OUTBOX

Hello, i got a question .
I managed to send an email using Javamail.However when i load my outbox , the emails i sent do not appear in the box. Is there some flags to mark emails as "sent"?
Or how can i add a sent email to the outbox folder?
thanks a lot
sebastien

I managed to send an email using Javamail.However
when i load my outbox , the emails i sent do not
appear in the box. Is there some flags to mark emails
as "sent"? No. If you want a message to be put into a folder, you have to write code to put the message into that folder.
Or how can i add a sent email to the outbox folder?In your JavaMail download, you will find a set of example programs. Some of them show you how to work with folders.

Mail.app always puts a sent email in Outbox, sends on open

Mail.app always wants to have one of my sent emails in the Outbox.
When I open Mail, it send the message.
This is really annoying as it is a message I've already sent, so I have to let the recipient know to ignore it.
It is a different email each time. If I delete the message from the Outbox, it appears as though the Outbox is empty. But if I click on another Mailbox, then click back on the Outbox, there is another email waiting to be sent when I re-open Mail.app!
I've tried rebuilding the mailbox, which doesn't fix it.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
James.

Thanks Allan.
Good suggestion. Tried it but unfortunately it didn't work. it recreates the Outbox directory in ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes when I open it. The directory no longer has anything in it (ie no info.plist of Massages folder).
But when I am in Mail.app it still has a message in the outbox. I have to delete it quickly when I open Mail.app, otherwise it will send it.
After I delete it, the window has no messages in it, but on the left the mailbox has a '1' in circle next to it. When I click on another mailbox then click back on Outbox, a 'new' (but previously sent) email is there ready to resend.
I'm using IMAP and my Mail.app at home does not have this problem (both machines are using Leopard 10.5.3)

Loaded iLife'008 and now sent email gets stuck in outbox

Folks,
I refreshed to OS X 10.4.11 2 weeks ago and it has been a good upgrade. Tuesday night 09-16-08 I loaded iLife'08 followed by a software update. From that time on my sent mail is stuck in the outbox with the following error message.
"This message could not be delivered and will remain in your Outbox until it can be delivered.
The connection to the server "smtp.mac.com" on port 25 timed out."
I have deleted the outbox, refreshed email, deleted the outbox and restarted the computer - neither worked.
I have reviewed all email addresses and they are exactly like they were prior to adding iLife'08.
I have only one account with MAC. smpt.mac.com:(my mac account name) on port 25.
And I do not want to upgrade to 10.5.x.
Best regards,
LD

Change the port to 587 and try again. Port 25 is often blocked by ISPs to mail servers other than their own to reduce the amount of spam sent from their networks.

How to sent email to current site title + owner group in SPD

Sent email to site owner group(dynamic get site title + owner) for reusable content type workflow

Hello,
I don't think you can achieve this with single designer workflow. You need to create WF for each site to send email to site owner because WF does not has capability to find site owner name in dynamic way.
You have to publish your workflow for each site and also need to send set the owner group manually for notification.
Please look at here:

Email WONT send - sits in outbox folder

For some reason, although I can send email, my outgoing emails will NOT send - instead they stay in the outbox. Any idea how to fix?! THX!

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Please clarify this confusion:
Your subject line - "email WONT send - sits in outbox folder"
Where you say -- "although I can send email"
And finally where you say -- "my outgoing emails will NOT send - instead they stay in the outbox"
So that's two votes for failure, and one for success. Can you clarify please?
Thanks!

TS3899 How to fix Sent emails getting stuck in Outbox for a period of time before being sent?

How do you fix Sent emails getting s tuck in Outbox for a period of time before they actually send?
The error message says that my "sender address is rejected by the server", but it eventually does send.

Have you tried a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank then power ON again in the normal way.] It is 'appsolutely' safe!
