Sending the emails go to the Outbox

When I try to send an e-mail or make a new email and try to send it, it goes into the Outbox

Ok

I'll start by saying that I am based in the United Kingdom and Comcast have no presence here, I know, so I'm not absolutely sure of my ground, but this page...

.. masse means that you should use port 465 for smtp (outgoing mail). You seem to be using port 25. Make a note of what you change below so that you can change if the changes do not work. It would also be a good idea to put a restore point prior to making changes too.

  • Open Windows Live Mail
  • Click the tab on the left (the one without a name to the left of the Home tab
  • Leave the mouse on Options, and then click e-mail accounts @...
  • Higlight (click) your e-mail account and then click on the properties button
  • Click the Advanced tab
  • In agreement with the above link, change the port for mail out to 465
  • In agreement with the link above, make sure that the box is checked for SSL on outgoing mail on the line immediately below where you specified port 465
  • Click the servers tab
  • Make sure the box is checked for authentication requiring outgoing mail server
  • Click OK
  • Click on close

Try to send again.

If it does not, according to your comments, you may have to wait for someone else to answer. If you're lucky, maybe it's Bruce Hagen, he knows from what I've seen his e-mail "things".

  • When sending emails to the account of my three children, the emails are just be stuck in the Outbox.

    Original title: Emails stuck in the Outbox in Outlook

    In the Outlook of my three children accounts, they can not send emails to anyone other than a handful of family members.  I suspect it's a left block by when the parental control of Microsoft allowed us to control the addresses they could send to.  But that feature has been removed, but it feels as if the 'blocks' are still in place.  This leaves us not use their accounts to mail to friends, teachers, etc.

    Can someone help me remove these blockages?

    The symptoms are very clear:

    1. in all accounts, I can send an email to my own or my wife Outlook account.  Here are the addresses that we allowed long to the parental control of Microsoft.

    2. immediately after, if I try to send an email to a different address (for example, to my e-mail address of work that I never "allowed" back in the day), the email goes directly into the Outbox and sits there without error.

    3. what happens on our iPhones, iPads and PCs; so, it is not related to the browser, any cache problem, etc.

    Help, please.

    Hi David,

    Thank you for waiting. Our support specialist has made some adjustments on the accounts of the child. Please try to send emails using these accounts and then inform us of the results.

  • When sending emails with Outlook Express, they sit in the Outbox and don't move to sent items.

    My system is XP Microsoft w/Internet Explorer 7.  My online service is through netzero.  I started having problems several weeks ago about my Outlook Express.  In the last whe I send a file, he crossed for recipients and also would go directly to my sent folder.  Now adays, occasionally, the info is sent to recipients but does not go to my sent folder and the express pointed out a mistake and put my email in the Outbox.  I have to move it to project from the Outbox folder or the system keeps trying to return.  He goes to the recipients, but not in my sent folder.  What's wrong?

    You have apparent dbx file corruption.

    Spend most of your messages out of the Inbox and then create new folders to send and sent items box after having moved the messages you want to save to a local folder that you create.

    Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.

    In Windows XP, Win2K & Win2K3 the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder Options icon | Opinion, or in Windows Explorer.

    With OE closed, find the DBX files for the items in the Outbox and sent and delete them.  New ones will be created automatically when you open OE.

    General precautions for Outlook Express:

    Do not archive mail in the receipt or sent items box. Create your own user-defined folders and move messages you want to put in them. Empty the deleted items folder daily. Although the dbx files have a theoretical capacity of 2 GB, I recommend all a 300 MB max for less risk of corruption.

  • Outlook Express keeps coming out of the emails in the Outbox even after sending e-mails to friends.

    Outlook Express keeps coming out of the emails in the Outbox even after sending emails to friendsthen continues to send emails over and over again.

    This occurs even after the email was deleated from Outbox. So that the people that I send to obtain email 20 - 30 times instead of only once.

    Can someone help me solve this problem? I have Microsoft XP Professional on my computer.  Thank you.

    A common cause of this is to have your program configured antivirus to analyze the messages, including outgoing mail.  If you can completely uninstall the AV program, and then reinstall it without the analysis feature mail.  If you can't do that, turn off scanning messages.  You will be just as safe.

    Thank you for your response Bruce. I tried the version of outlook express as you said and I could send a few files taking only a few minutes. Not sure how to tell the size of messages, is not sure where to look but I only sent the pictures with a couple of lines if message

    I use Windows Live Mail is my Hotmail account, usually I send photos and the recipient may be considered slideshow, which is great. Since then, I have an error message saying: I exceeded the limit of storage on the server. To make the space available to move the messages from the server to your folders on this computer. Not sure how to do this, but I am happy using the O.E.Thanks you.

    You are welcome.

    You can click right images where they reside, and then click Properties to see their size.

    I know little about Hotmail, but the error message means that you connect to Hotmail through the Web site and remove messages there.
