Outlook 2010 All messages sent to outbox and stay there! Very frustrating!!
I've been wrestling with this situation for several days. I have an Att "sbcglobal.net" primary e-mail with several subaccounts. Have used ATT server recommendations "inbound.att.net 995 SSL" & "outbound.att.net 465 SSL" which test complete for inbound server and sent.I can also use "pop.att.yahoo.com & smtp.att.yahoo.com" which also work. All messages I compose and send show in the sent folder but remain in the outbox folder and are never received by the addresses I have sent to? i have tried many different things (repair, new profile, rules, safe mode, disabling my Vipre intenet security program, etc., none of which have been successful. I am reaching the conclusion that the error is in the Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010 & its Outlook program itself. My previous experience with Outlook 2003 was very good and i liked it very much with all its features. However, the design of Outlook 2010 seems not to be for a simple home user. Rather, it appears to be for large organizatiions with many users working with complex features.
I think that much like many of my associates I will have to consider changing to gmail unless someone can help me out of my current dilemma. From the Internet postings this problem appears to be inherent to the Outlook program with no apparent fix? |

It is certainly not an unknown problem, but it should not be insurmountable. The following macro added to a ribbon button can be used to force the messages in the Outbox to be sent:
Code:
Option Explicit Sub SendAndReceiveAll() Dim olNS As NameSpace Dim olSyncs As SyncObjects Dim olSync As SyncObject Dim olItems As Items Dim olItem As Object Dim i As Long Set olNS = Application.GetNamespace("MAPI") Set olSyncs = olNS.SyncObjects Set olItems = olNS.GetDefaultFolder(4).Items For i = olItems.Count To 1 Step -1 Set olItem = olItems(i) olItem.sEnd DoEvents Next i For i = 1 To olSyncs.Count Set olSync = olSyncs.Item(i) olSync.Start DoEvents Next CleanUp: Set olItems = Nothing Set olItem = Nothing Set olNS = Nothing Set olSyncs = Nothing Set olSync = Nothing lbl_Exit: Exit Sub End Sub

All Outlook 2010 messages stuck in outbox
Thank you gmayor for your detailed reply. Unfortunately, I have a very limited knowledge of programing and writing actual programing statements to create Macros. I greatly admire your experience and knowledge. Thanks again for your time and offer of a solution.

You don't need any knowledge of programming. I have provided that for you. You need only to copy and paste. The general principles are covered at http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm and while the illustrations are from Word, the VBA editor is the same for all Office products.
Outlook does not however have a macro recorder, so you would have to open the VBA editor (ALT+F11), add a module from the Insert Menu and paste the code into it. With Outlook you may need to sign the VBA project, but we will cross that bridge if it becomes a necessity.
