Outlook 2010 not sending emails
« on: September 07, 2013, 03:26:26 AM »
I currently run Outlook 2010, I have already set up an email account.
 
My problem is as follows;
 
If I open Outlook, and wait till its fully loaded,i.e. its done a full sweep and downloaded any new emails,
 
if I then try and send ( or even reply back to a new email, the following happens.
 
I see that the Archives Outbox is bold and has a figure [ 1 ] ( in green ) this stays and stays and stays even if I close Outlook down even if I reboot, it is still there.
 
If I try and send another one the same thing happens except the figure now changes to  [ 2 ]

That was tried at 10:50  yesterday morning and its still there after I booted up this morning
 
Please help
 
Regards

I"m using Outlook 2007 so we have some differences.  Anyway, I'm wondering why you are doing current activity (new messages and replies to recent messages) in the Archives area.  Do you not have an Outbox under Personal Folders, which is outside of Archives?

I'll try and make it clearer for you;

I currently run Outlook 2010, I have already set up an email account.
 
If I open Outlook, and wait till its fully loaded,i.e. its done a full sweep and downloaded any new emails, into my inbox where my email account resides( see attachment)
if I then try and send ( or even reply back to a new email, the following happens.
 
I see that the Archives Outbox is bold and has a figure [ 1 ] ( in green ) this stays and stays and stays even if I close Outlook down even if I reboot, it is still there. See attachment
 
If I try and send another one the same thing happens except the figure now changes to  [ 2 ]

That was tried at 10:50  yesterday morning and its still there after I booted up this morning see attachment
 
Please help

Maybe this will help: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2663435

I thought that you might glean some information from the attachment.

Just had a look at the Microsoft site and I am going down that route will report back

Back to E-mail tab

Now clicked on "Repair account"

Name, E-mail address, password all filled in

Manually configure server setting or additional server types "not checked"

If I now click next ( without altering anything)

Ticked established network connection
Next message down Search for EMAIL ADDRESS edited out as per regs server settings

! An encrypted connection to your mail server is not available.
Click Next to attempt using an unencrypted connection

If I now click next >
Log on to server ( unencrypted)

The result is what is now read on the screen

Microsoft Outlook
There are unsent messages in your Outbox. To send messages Outlook must remain running and connected to your email server. Do you want to exit anyway?
There is now a countdown timer

There are two buttons

This problem now sorted after one and a half hours on the phone to Microsoft support.
Turns out my profile in Outlook had been corrupted
