500 of 500 tasks have complete yet email still not sent

[Beans]

Hi,

I have just upgraded to Vista Home Premium and Outlook 2007.

On a number of occasions when I press F9 to send amd receive emails the
Send/Receive progress dialog flashes and says that 500 of 500 tasks have
complete yet the email is still not sent. The number of tasks keeps
increasing. Explorer does not respond and the only way to make it stop is to
invoke the task manager and end Outlook.exe.

Next time I open Outlook I cannot delete the email as it starts sending
imediately. If I reboot sometimes I can catch the email before it starts
sending and delete it.

Any isdears will be appreciated.

Thanks.

Sean

How many accounts do you have in your profile? What type are they? How
frequently are you checking for new mail? (Allow at least 5 - 8 min between
checks).

Hi,

Thanks for the tip, it allowed me to delete the message.

I have two accounts in my profile, My yahoo pop server and the one from my
ISP. Both are POP/SMTP.

I was pressing F9 to force message in my outbox to be sent and could have
pressed this on occasion more frequently than every 5 -8 minutes. This
morning I reconfigured to send outgoing messages immediately when connected
and only pressed this once. I found that I had 2 that went and 1 that did
not.

I created a new message and attached the same message that I was trying to
forward and again the email will not go. The outlook icon on my system tray
continues to flash (5 minutes now) which seems long for a 22kb item. It is
not only this mail that will not send as I have had at lest 1 mail in 3 that
does not seen to want to send.

Thanks again.

Hi,

I now have a mail that I cannot delete even when I turn Outlook offline for
10 minutes. Even after a reboot.

Do you have outlook set to use automatic send and receive? if so, you don't
need to press F9. You also don't need to press it if you have send
immediately enabled.

If you close outlook or reboot can you delete it?
If not, see http://www.outlook-tips.net/howto/stuck_message.htm

Hi,

I do not have automatic send and receive set up.

I have now set up "send imediately when connected" which seems to work some
of the time.

The method described in the link Diane gave you wherein you create a new PST
is guaranteed to work, since a new PST will have an empty Outbox.

 

[Diane Poremsky [MVP]]

Do you have antivirus scanning email? If so, uninstall the outlook
integration. That will cause issues sending.
