My outgoing emails are getting stuck in the Outbox and won't send. How can I get my emails to send?

If you tried the offline trick and it doesn't work, go offline and then just restart Outlook and it will work

Thank-you!!! I googled a few other places with NO luck and one of your low tech styles worked! Pulled the internet plug, deleted the thing and was done. What a relief!

I wrote an email with a "do not deliver before" time, but it is still in my outbox. I do not want to delete it; I just want to know what to do in the future to make sure it sends at the selected time. I have no trouble doing this from other accounts on the same server. Suggestions? Thanks.

I have a migraine at this point, but thanks to the triple punch of WORK-OFFLINE and DISCONNECTING THE POWER TO THE ISP and RESTARTING THE COMPUTER, my email got deleted (with a 97MG .psd file I accidently attached...)
THANK YOU SO MUCH! Now I am going to go take some Excedrin!

Is there a fix to keep outbox from looping and sending the same email over and over again. I see several ways to delete it but, what is causing it and is there a fix. This has happend to me in outlook express and I went to outlook 2007 thinking this would cure it, but to no avail.
I sure hope there is a fix.

Thanks,

Tommy

Tried your suggestion...unfortunatetly, I'm either doing it wrong or it's just not working...any other suggestions? What if I remove the E-mail account from Outlook, reboot and add the E-mail account again? Any danger in doing that?

Thank you, thank you, thank you...that was so annoying!!! Your trick worked like a charm:)

Thanks. I didn't do it correctly at first. Taking it offline, then deleting worked.
