Outlook Not Sending Emails – Messages Stuck in Outbox
Hi everyone, I’m having trouble with Microsoft Outlook where my emails won’t send and keep getting stuck in the Outbox. My internet connection seems fine, and I can still receive emails, but nothing goes out. I’ve tried restarting Outlook and my computer, but the issue is still there.
Has anyone faced this before or knows what could be causing it? Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks!

You might want to check the outgoing (SMTP) server settings and make sure Outlook isn’t in “Work Offline” mode. Also try clearing the message stuck in the Outbox and restarting Microsoft Outlook, as that often fixes the issue.
