My messages stay in the OutboxThe following are some common reasons why new messages that you send never leave the Outbox in Microsoft Outlook: * If you use offline folders or Remote Mail, you must use different commands to send and receive messages. * If you open a message in the Outbox, or edit it and then save changes, the message is not sent. Open the message, and then click Send.

Messages waiting to be sent are formatted in italic in the Outbox. * You might have specified that messages not be sent until the next send/receive. On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Mail Setup tab.

Select the Send immediately when connected check box so that a message is sent when you click Send in the message. If you connect by using a LAN (LAN: A computer network technology designed to connect computers separated by a short distance.

If you use a dial-up networking connection, Outlook tries to connect to the server (server: On a local area network, a computer that controls access to all or part of the network and its resources, such as printers.

If you are working offline, the status bar will display Offline. To return all accounts in the profile online, on the File menu, click Work Offline . To only reconnect the Exchange Server e-mail account, on the File menu, click Connect to Microsoft Exchange Server.

Stuck Message In Outlook Outbox First I would log in as Administrator if every thing else fails and try to delete it. Once again I’ve been having issues where my message gets stuck in my outbox perpetually “sending”. I was sending a message with a 2 meg attachment and it just stuck there.

This certainly isn’t the first time it’s happened. The message gets stuck in the outbox and any attempts at stopping or deleting the message results in a “can’t open this item outlook has already begun transmitting” message. I’ve finally found a handy solution to this problem.

I’m sure I’m not the only one who’s encountered this so I’ll post this message here for reference. Instead of going through a tedious process of backing up the personal folder file (*. Pst) and an intricate swapping and renaming of files.

There’s a much easier way to fix it. Just set your Outlook into the “Work Offfline” mode. Close and re-open the program and then delete the message out of the outbox.

Once that’s done you can flip back into “Work Online”. This is done by going to “File | Work Offline”. View A Post: Sponsored Links 11 Comments, Comment or PingMornington Oh for crying out loud… THANK YOU.

Apr 14th, 2006Josh Well, I tried that and it still won’t work. Now, when I hit delete, the “X” or right-click and hit delete, nothing happens, but when I try to open the email that’s stuck or change the Options, it says Outlook has already begun sending the message. Any thoughts?

Apr 20th, 2006Ghosty There’s a few different ways to tackle this issue. I do remember a time I had to attempt this procedure a few times in a row in order for it to be deleted. Where I would turn it to offline mode, close outlook, open outlook, attempt to delete, close outlook, open outlook, and then finally be able to delete.

If that doesn’t work try deleting the message in Outlook’s safe mode. Go to start / run and then enter “Outlook /safe” you’ll notice that the appearance will revert to the default theme and you should see “(safe mode)” in the title bar. If you can’t delete the message from there you may need to do the whole PST swapping procedure, which when I attempted it I found it to be such a hassle.

I’m sure there’s some better resources that may describe this procedure better. Actually this link I found that details that also has another troubleshooting step about disabling your antivirus or firewall. I’d try all other options before heading the route of doing the new profile.

The offline start/x/stop/restart/x/stop/restart finally worked. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE YOUR VPN and all e-mail related comm shut down in addition to offline. Ghosty gets a beer!

May 12th, 2006sweet baby thank the lordy. Jul 11th, 2006me I am using Outlook 2000 and I can’t find “work offline” under file? Help!

What is my VPN and all email related comm? Jul 13th, 2006Grasshut In Makakilo YES! Going offline and deleting did the trick.

Jul 14th, 2006Ghosty I’m not sure where the “work offline” option is located in outlook 2000, but regardless of which menu it lays under this solution should have the same effect once you find and toggle that option. Jul 14th, 2006Colleen THANK YOU a million times over… $%^&* thing has been messing with me for days! Grrrrr.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
