If I attempt to send an email with a hypertext web addresses or an attached *.xlsx files the email

will sit in the outbox. However, if I open the email in the outbox and forward it to the original sendee the email sends (but  without a Fwd subject prefix and it remains in the outbox? I don't have a sending problem with *.pdf attachments. Anybody have a clue as to what's happening.

You first have to find out why the message wasn't sent. The error message should give the reason; please click on it to select it, then use right-click to copy it and paste it into your reply here.

You don't have to delete an unsent message in the outbox. You can always drag it to a drafts folder if you want to make some changes before trying to send it again.


I have tried to drag my outbox messages into my draft folder.  Won't work.  Tell me what to do next.

Actually I really want to delete the messages so they quit going.  They just keep going to e-mail address over and over every hour. 

 

Because your question is different from the one that started the thread you posted in, I've moved yours to its own thread   

 

 

I have two outgoing messages "stuck" in the outbox system, though not showing in the outbox. How can I delete them? (I have an AppleMac and Outlook 2011.) The messages had scanned attachments and were rejected due to their size. Outlook tries to send them every time I do send/receive, causing delay and major frustration. Can you help please?

Original Title: When I send an e-mail sometimes it goes to the dreaded Outbox where it languishes and no matter what I do, it never leaves there.

 

1. Can I remove the Outbox from my e-mail functions - and if so how. or 2. How can I make the Outbox send e-mails rather than just holding them in Limbo for eternity? (By the way, the litttle message after closing out saying I have messages in Outbox, do I want to send them does NOTHING when I click I want them sent) or 3. How can I make my e-mails never reach this 7th level of ****?

I keep getting a display box that says that I have messages in my out box that it could not send. I would like to delete those messages, but I can't find my outbox at Hotmail. I have the in box, sent,drafts, etc but no "outbox" 

 

This occurs when I use windows live where I have more than one e mail a/c.

I now send my e mails direct from hotmail, but I would like to delete those messages that are in my invisable "outbox"

Thanks 

We know the Outbox is gone -- that disappeared in an update last year.  But this just started.  When I go to send an email, it shows 3 being sent and 2 of those appear to be stuck in the Outbox and never even get sent.  I don't know what they are, never created them, and they bog down the send every time.  Since Outbox folder isn't shown, I can't find or delete these mysterious 2 emails.  Any ideas appreciated.  HELP!

I recently downloaded Security Essentials . I can receive but cannot send emails from Windows Live mail. My ISP tells me it is a software problem. Can anyone explain and how to fix emails stuck in my outbox? I am using Windows 7.

Thank You

For some reason, there is no Outbox in my Windows Live mail.  I have a file that is too large to send and it's stuck.  I cannot delete it from the 'sending window' and of course there is no Outbox from where I can delete it.  Please help!
 I have downloaded a free trial of Office for Mac 2011. The only issue at this time preventing me from purchasing it is that the email is not working. I have configured it properly and I am getting green lights indicating that both incoming and outgoing should be working. However it is not allowing any outgoing mail. The other problem is the outbox botton keeps disapearing leaving me unable to view the messages in the outbox. Is this a flaw in the software or is there a solution?

I tried to send a mail with an attachment that exceeded size limits.  The problem is that the message is not visible in my outbox thus I cannot delete it.  Now, every time I do a send/receive outlook attempts to resend the large file and I continuously get the error message indicating that the message could not be sent.....  How can I delete the mail with the attachment if I cannot see it in my outbox?
