My outlook stopped sending emails from my outbox. They just stay there. I am receiving emails fine just unable to send. I am on Windows XP.
Edit: I am using Outlook 2007.
-
Any Errors?
When did it start?
-
No errors. It worked after I re-booted my laptop. I'm not sure why it happened.
-
All right, so problem solved?
-
Yes, thank you.
-
Okay, good job.

Ok well the problem is happening again. Clearly, some sort of recurring problem. Only thing it says is SEND/RECEIVE ERROR in the bottom right corner of Outlook.
-
The error message says that the connection to the server was interrupted. However, I still have internet access and nothing has changed from the last time I sent an email.
-
This problem keeps happening at random, often inconvenient intervals.
Any ideas?
-
Ok, I know I have the last like 5 posts on this thread, but I think the reason it doesn't work is because I'm on "wired" internet. When I unplug my Ethernet cord, it works.
-
Double check your POP3 and SMTP server settings in Outlook...
Being wired or wireless should make no difference.
-
I understand that it shouldn't make a difference but for some reason, on rare occasions, it does. Strangest thing.
-
Is your wireless internet connection still active when you have the wired connection? Sometimes that can cause problems within the network and make packets drop/connections fail. I've had it happen to me a few times.
-
Are you sending e-mails with large attachments? If so, your ISP's SMTP server may have a hard time with those. :)
-
I am not sending large attachments. Generally, just a 2 to 3 sentence message.
-
Signature or no signature?
-
None.
-
When it says "Send/Receive error" at the bottom right, can you click on it to get some more details?
-
I will next time I have an issue. It probably won't be for awhile because it only happens rarely and when I am at school connected to the wired and wireless internet. I am on break now through January 20th.
-
If you're connected to the wired and the wireless at the same time, that can definitely cause your connection to drop sporadically. If you have a choice, and it's not to inconvenient, use the wired - more stable, generally.
-
Also, check wht attachment type you are sending. If you are sending .exe or something which your mail service provide do not all ... you may receive error
