Email stuck in Outlook Outbox
November 6 2006
 
Q: I was trying to send a digital photo as an attachment when I realized that it got stuck in my Outbox [in Outlook]. I tried Clicking the Send/Receive to send the email without success. I even tried to delete it, but it still remains in my Outbox. How can I get rid of it?
 
A: This problem happens usually if you try to send an email with a large attachment like a digital photo (maybe 5MB or more). Well if you ever find yourself in this situation, here's what you can do:
 
-Take MS Outlook offline
  1. Open MS Outlook
  2. File > Work Offline
  3. Shut down Outlook
  4. Unplug your network cable from your computer (or turn off your wireless card)
    -Delete the stuck email
  5. Open MS Outlook
  6. Open your 'Outbox' folder
  7. Find and Delete the stuck email
    -Permanently delete the stuck email
  8. Open your 'Deleted Items' folder
  9. Find and Delete the stuck email
    -Change MS Outlook to Online
  10. File > Work Online
 
If this doesn't work, then repeat these steps and restart your computer after step 4.
That's it!
