I have never had to delete everything in the Exchange service Outbox. On occasion, I've had to exit Outlook and restart it, and I've helped things along by opening each message in the Outbox and clicking Send again.

Once this happens Outlook refuses to send any other emails. The only way to clear the issue was to delete everything in the outbox. This glitch had nothing to do with exchange, and was purely a MS Outlook issue that happens once in a blue moon to some of my users. With Pop3/SMTP users I find that setting their send/receive values to a modest setting of every 5-7 mins helps. My older users that were using POP/SMTP that had their send/receive set to every 1 Minute experienced at least 200% more problems then everyone else. -----Original Message----- From: bounce-50481651-3785...@intm-dl.sparklist.com [mailto:bounce-50481651-3785...@intm-dl.sparklist.com] On Behalf Of Larry Wahlers Sent: Friday, January 09, 2009 2:34 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Outlook POP/SMTP question I've had these issues as well, for the same reason as Ed states below. If these users are on your network, you might want to be sure they have a fairly robust, always-available SMTP server to use. An obvious problem I've had just due to simple neglect is, I'd be at home with my laptop using the SMTP server of my ISP, sbcglobal.net. Then, at work the next day, I'd wonder why my replies to my POP3 accounts weren't going anywhere. Of course, it was because I was no longer on AT&T's DSL and you can't use their SMTP unless you are. -- Larry Wahlers Concordia Technologies The Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod MailTo:larry.wahl...@concordiatech.org Business Phone: (314) 996-1876 > -----Original Message----- > From: bounce-50476462-1338...@intm-dl.sparklist.com > [mailto:bounce-50476462-1338...@intm-dl.sparklist.com] On > Behalf Of Ed Crowley [MVP] > Sent: Thursday, January 08, 2009 7:16 PM > To: Exchange Discussions > Subject: RE: Outlook POP/SMTP question > > I've personally experienced the same problem with the last > three releases of Outlook.
