My emails are not leaving the outbox.

Error saying: There is unsent email in the Outbox!

Hi,



Before we proceed, I need more information to help you better.

• 
  How are you accessing your Email?
  
• 
  Are you using Mail app or Outlook client?
  

I suggest you to go to Outbox in your email account and check do you have any email in outbox. If you have any email then I suggest you to delete the email and check if it helps.



Reply with necessary information so that we can assist you better.

 

set chck outbox before closing

Alan, I assume you are referring to MSOffice Outlook and not to the built-in email app or the online MSAccount/Outlook service. In the VBA module ThisOutlookSession, I have a script that interrupts Outlook closure. Code:

Try putting that in and testing that it appears during closure. The macro should run when you close Outlook for the first time since writing the script. For future use, you will need to enable this macro using whatever facilities are available in your version of MSOffice. I use MSOffice 2007 and it's really awkward about Outlook macros but I believe that the scheme for enabling specific ones in later versions is more straightforward. So look up enable macro or similar in Outlook help. I've also got some code that I wrote as an exercise several years ago that lists folder contents so that would probably form the basis of listing the Outbox contents. It would probably take me an hour to study what I wrote in order to understand it well enough to discuss it with you so please make sure that you get that simple MsgBox macro working first and then I'll figure out what to suggest. I am not sure about two things you wrote: 1 I thought Outlook always brought up a dialog warning you if it found anything in the Outbox.*** 2 I don't understand what a dummy mail in the Outbox has to do with anything. 2.1 Is your real aim just getting a chance to confirm Outlook closure & the dummy Outbox mail is just a method of forcing that? 2.2 If so, then we could probably just work on a form of the MsgBox macro that would achieve that end. You can make MsgBoxes have, for example, OK/Cancel, Yes/No buttons so such a MsgBox would provide a method of confirming closure. *** MSOffice Outlook 2007 definitely still brings up a warning if the Outbox has mail that has yet to be sent.

It only does this if the Outbox contains an email for which you have clicked on Send. It does not do this if you have merely, for example, copied an email into that folder. Perhaps your dummy email is falling foul of this condition. All the best, Denis
