I have four messages stuck in my outbox, which is invisible and inaccessible. When I followed the advice to go off line and send myself an email so the outbox would become visible, it didn't work, and all the other boxes -- sent mail, junk mail, drafts -- disappeared. I'm using Outlook 2011 for Mac, 14.4.2. PLEASE HELP! I can receive mail but not send because of the stuck messages in the hiding outbox.
One forum member suggested going offline, sending a message, and said then hidden Outbox would become visible. It didn't. Now ALL boxes -- sent mail, drafts, etc., are no longer listed, even when I go back on line. There are four messages now stuck in an outbox I can't find. Am using Outlook 2011 14.2.4 on a Mac. PLEASE HELP!!
I tried to send four emails, each with a large file that, apparently, exceeds the file size. Everytime a Send/Recieve happens, Outlook tries again to send these files.

I want to DELETE the files from the Outbox, but don't see the outbox in the file structure (on the left).

Help?
Original Title: Outbox
I apparently had an email that was too large that I sent to a client on October 1st. Outlook keeps trying to send it. I was unable to see the file folder for the "outbox" to delete the email until today. After Outlook tries to send the message (with attachments) the computer makes a dinging sound and then the "outbox" shows up briefly and shows me an email that it has been trying to send since 10/1/12. I think I now have it deleted, but can't I see the Outbox all of the time like with other email programs like Entourage? Why is that?
the messages are just stuck there.  Outlook goes nuts trying to resend them.  the stuck messages have a couple of faulty email addresses so that's why apparently this hideous thing developed.  The messages are indicated to be in the outbox by the number (2) but there's no way to make them visible or delete them.  I tried to change the filters or clear the filters but i'm not using filters, and none of that worked. i tried working offline, but the messages still won't appear or let me delete them.  
I'm using a gmail account as the sender address, Outlook 2011 Version 14.1.4, on an iMac with Lion software.  
Why is Outlook such a nightmare to use?


I have two group emails with faulty addresses stuck in my Outbox.  I can't access them or see them except the outblox shows (2) emails are stuck there and Outlook is going crazy trying to resent them every few minutes.  I tired to use the filters to make the troubled messages visible but nothing worked.  Should i just delete the email account that they're being sent from?  this is a nightmare.  i've tried working offline to make them visible but that doesn't make them show up easier.  I can still send other messages from that email account.  I don't want to delete all my messages in my google account to cure this.  How do i get OUtlook to work properly?
My Outbox is no longer in the list of folders.  The only way to tell that an email didn't go is to check the Sent Folder.  How can I get Outbox back?
cannot send emails hung up in out box.  I am using verizon fios. my outgoing server is 995 at outgoing.verizon.net
Original Title: Still having outlook out box problems...
Hi,

I posted on here a few weeks back about how my messages had suddenly started to become stuck in my outbox after previously working fine. I received a helpful response from Cortig at that time but am posting again because it's still not resolved. To re-cap:

I am using Outlook 2011 for Mac (with Lion OS) and my emails have suddenly stopped sending and are sitting stuck in the outbox. The error messages received are either 3259 ("an operation on the server timed out.....") or error 3260 ("Outlook cannot connect to the server. Verify that your computer is connected to the network") with 3260 being the most recent and frequent. This is not an internet connection issue as all other internet programmes are working.

Its a small business POP account, I set it up myself and it has been working fine for for the last 3 months. I initially had this same problem (but can't remember the error message) and managed to sort it out by overiding the default port 25 and using 587 instead (picked this up on another forum and it worked fine). I have tried reverting the default port and using port 26, rebuilding the outlook database (holding shift or option when starting), and emptying all folders and restarting the programme. - I have also disabled the account and then re-installed it 

Obviously I have tried using the email account remotely and this is working as normal so its definitely an Outlook issue. Have there been any recent updates or patches I've missed?

We're a small business (3 staff and no IT department) and I'm the only one having a problem. Any help or suggestions gratefully received

Since the above messages suggested a server error I have spent the last couple of weeks speaking with the people who host my website and email. They have found no problem their end and even managed to load my email account on one of their machines and have it working fine. This must therefore suggest a problem with my machine and they suggested I turn off any anti-virus software or firewall BUT I'm using a MacBook Pro with no antivirus software installed and the firewall disabled..... 

Anyone know of any Mac updates that could have caused this? (as I said, it worked fine for months before this started).

If anyone has any suggestions please let me know as I am tearing my hair out here

thanks


I tried to send some email with attachments.  The emails were too large and failed.  However, outlook keeps trying to send them over and over and they fail over and over.  I would like to get rid of the emails but they are not in the outbox or anywhere else that I can find --- I cannot find a way to delete them!
