E-mails showing as in Outbox but folder is empty (Outlook 2010)


Question

At work, I am trying to send some e-mails in Outlook 2010 but they're getting stuck in the Outbox folder (and the recipients are not receiving them).

 

Outlook shows:

 

Outbox [4]

 

When I open the Outbox folder, no e-mails are inside.

 

The Outbox folder shows, "There are no items to show in this view."

 

Any ideas?

check and see if you've got filters on (right click on bar on top of folder, go to view settings)

I need more information on how to do this, if that's ok? :)

Do a blank search.

Select outbox > then position your mouse inside the search box > Outlook will switch to the search tab > select search tools and then advanced find > Hit find out

 

If anything it's really there will appear below.

 

I'd remember this happened to some users in the Office 2000/XP times.

 

Good luck

No results.

There are definitely e-mails in there as everytime I try to send a new e-mail, the number next to 'Outbox' increases by one and recipients don't receive the e-mails.

does it show up in your OWA link? (webmail) if not they may just suggest to delete the mail profile and rebuild.

    • Apple: lets take our inspiration from Windows 7/Vista and call it innovative
    • Nice! My $100 refurbished iPad 8 that I bought last year for a small project (and still runs like new cuz it's been mostly in storage the past several months) will get this v26 upgrade. I'm definitely gonna scope out OS26 on this device before upgrading my also-supported refurbished iPhone SE 3rd Gen (only got it for the 5G UW support).
    • Hello, The separate discussion about VLC has been moved to its own thread at  Regards, Aryeh Goretsky  
    • Hello, I am guessing this is the result of using a third-party tweaking tool instead of changing things within Windows settings. Windows 11 has a decent set of configuration options for the display, but they tend to be scattered throughout the operating system due to fragmentation of product ownership/inconsistent standards being applied by Microsoft. There are a few places in Windows 11 where you can modify the various display settings in order to get them to your liking: Under Settings → System → Display you can stroll down to the Scale & layout section and change the Scale and Display resolution settings to whatever you prefer.  For the Scale option, you can click on the text box to choose between the various pre-populated settings.  If none of those are exactly what you are looking for, click on the caret ("") caret to open the Custom scaling setting (also available under Settings → Display → Custom scaling).  I would recommend this as an option of last resort as this can cause display issues in various programs. I strongly recommend using the screen's native Display resolution here; it should show up as the "(Recommended)" resolution.  If it does not, you may need to install your monitor's profile information file (basically, a device driver for your monitor) to get the correct setting. Another place to look at making changes to fonts is under Accessiblity → Text size.  There is a slider bar for changing the text size from 100% to 225% there. You can try making changes to the ClearType settings.  It's a little bit finer-grained than the others, but it may make the text easier to view on the display.  Run the ClearType Text Tuner (filename: CTTUNE.EXE) and go through the wizard. You may want to do this several times under different lighting conditions or times of the day to figure out what works best for you overall. Lastly, you may want to look into using a dedicated assistive screen technology program from a third-party.  Microsoft provides a Screen Magnifier and a Narrator for text-to-speech, but they provide only basic functionality, and you may find that a third-party program works a lot better.  The pros of this is that third-party assistive technology programs tend to work quite well under Windows; Microsoft has historically worked closely with third-party developers of assistive technologies.  The cons of this are that such tools tend to be on the expensive side, since they are often sold to schools, businesses, or paid for by insurance companies, not individuals. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky  
    • Totally agree with you. I think people, especially on tech sites, need to realize that they’re the minority. Microsoft isn’t going to waste time on things that, in the big picture, don’t matter to the majority.
