I'm having issues where Outlook is unable to send messages. It just hangs at sending 6/10 for hours at a time with no error message or apparent progress.

Problem #1: How do I view what's in my Outbox?

There's an "Outbox" label in the left hand pane. Clicking it shows my Outbox for approximately 5 seconds. Then without any further keypresses or mouse clicks Outlook snaps back to viewing a different folder. Restarting Outlook, including in safe mode, does not help. Is there a way to disable this decidedly unhelpful behavior and have Outlook simply display the folder I've selected for as long as I care to view it?

Problem #2: How do I view *which* message is currently sending?

Since Outlook is getting stuck sending a message it seems it would be helpful to know which exact message it's trying to send. I cannot find anything in the UI that reveals this, just the generic message counter that shows which number out of total messages remaining.
