Messages stuck in outbox on Outlook.??

Problem

Emails sometimes get stuck in your outbox in Outlook.


Cause

A message can get stuck if it includes an attachment that’s too large for some email servers to handle.
(For example, your workplace /email providers might limit the size of email messages you can send or receive.)
Sometimes Outlook can’t send your messages because your email server is off-line or your mail client (you) are offline.

Solution

Put Outlook in off-line mode and delete the offending email.

To do this go to
Click File-> Work Offline.
Restart Outlook.
Delete the offending E-mail.
Put Outlook back into on-line mode by clicking File > Work Online.
