Mail stuck-no solution has worked.

deborah

Have read previous posts and links. Doesn't solve my problem. Some email
stuck for last 2 days. Some goes, some doesn't- even to same address. Can
delete- no problem. But Outlook doesn't see it there. When I exit it doesn't
say there are unsent msgs in outbox. So the mail is piling up. I've tried
deleting it all and then re-composing msgs. Still nothing. Not sure what has
happened. Nothing has changed. 2 addressses- both are a problem. SMTP is
fine.

Windows XP, Outlook 2007. Any other ideas for resolution?

What have you tried?
Do you get any errors?
What does the icon look like in the outbox? Do you have a habit of looking
in the outbox? If you stop looking in the outbox do new messages send?

the issue is that this just started two days ago. For ex, it seems that
msgs that aren't able to be sent right away will never be. So I'm composing
new msgs and those are sent. The other 8 are still sitting there. I have
looked in outlook before and this never seemed to be a problem.

No error msgs. For ex, the new msgs waiting to go are bolded. The others
are not. When I open outbox, under sent column it says none to those msgs. I
looked at the links you sent- I don't think any of that stuff applies.

I've now deleted all my msg and resent them. via another site. But now 2 new
ones stuck. Seems that when they are going to stick, the sent column says
none. That is how these look- bold but with none in sent.

Was a problem with the Linkedin Toolbar. This is apparently a known problem.
Wish I found that out before. Learned it on another tech site.
http://blog.linkedin.com/2007/05/29/using_linkedin__1/ Here is the issue.
Remove the toolbar.
