Emails occasionally stuck in the Outbox of Outlook 2003

This is a little strange. Occasionally one of my users will send an email
that will not leave the outbox, no matter what. I normally have to open up a
new email body and copy everything across, hit send and off it goes.

We have an SBS 2003 server but I have disabled Exchange whilst we are
waiting for engineers to repair it, I'm using the backup server (VPOP3) in
the mean time.

I would say 99% of emails are successfully despatched but as always ppl only
ever remember the other 1% that don't. Does anyone have any ideas, I cannot
pin down the issue as it is so irregular.

Cheers in advance!

I am having the exact same issue. I am simply on a firewalled home setup. I
can not find anything that seems to connect the emails that send and those
that don't except this:
If I write the email, click send, then check in the outbox - if the category
"sent" (in the outbox) has "none" in it - the email wont send. However, if
the email has the actual date in the "sent" category, it will send fine.
If there is no date, then I right click on that email, select "forward",
when the email opens I forward it to that same person, click send - then it
will send from the outbox (and the original one that had no date in the
"sent" category will still stay in the outbox).

Anyone have some thoughts,
Jeff
