A similar thing has happened to me countless times, but the message actually gets sent. I have to delete the message in order to get it to send other queued messages.
I have watched the whole transaction with our EtherPeek packet analyzer and it seems that Entourage keeps waiting to get an acknowledgement that the e-mail was accepted. I see the transaction's start, I see the e-mail data, and I see the server acknowledge the data, but Entourage just sits there waiting. If it happens to you again, check with the messages recipient and see if they already got the message. If so, then you are seeing the same problem as I. Typically when the message gets stuck, I stop it and try again. That was until people started asking me why I sent them three or four copies of an email. BTW, if you edit one of these stuck messages and add a few lines or delete a few lines, then it will get unstuck. -mahboud on 1/24/03 14:53, Rick Johnson at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > On 1/23/03 3:22 PM, "Diane Ross" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> On 1/23/03 5:02 AM, "Rick Johnson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> >>> I often get outgoing messages stuck in the outbox in Entourage X under >>> Jaguar.
