Emails stuck in Outbox - again
This temp fix works with a PC restart. I hate it but here it is :
Try these on the command prompt - Locate cmd.exe from the start menu - Right Click - Run as administrator.
netsh winsock reset
press enter
ipconfig /flushdns
press enter
Restart your PC.
Open outlook after restart. Let it connect . Your emails will have gone from the outbox.

The only reason they're still using Outlook desktop is because they need the mailto: function to send PDFs from their application...
Mails stay in the outbox, even if I send manually. The only thing I noticed is that it doesn't say "Connected to Exchange Online" on the bottom-right, but only "online".
They can receive emails properly, but not send...
Also, not the same issue, but using direct connection to Exchange Online instead of cache is excruciatingly slow...
