I am trying to send email to multiple persons (in order to advise of my new
email address) and no matter what I do, the email never makes it past the
"outbox" and is never actually sent. First, I tried to send this email to
everyone in one category of my contact list (113 contacts) ... that didn't
work. Next I tried to create a group (now called "distribution list" (16
contacts) ... thanks for changing the name for no good reason other than to
confuse me!) ... that didn't work. Next, I tried sending it to just the
names starting with "B" in my contact category list ... that didn't work.

No error messages, just emails that never make it past the outbox. Help!!!

Is it possible that your old e-mail box is shut down and won't let you send
new messages?

Have you tried sending an e-mail to yourself to see if that gets through?

did you do send/receive?
if outlook is configured not to automatically send messages you have to send
manually else it will just sit in the outbox

I'm having the same problem - can't send any emails out. Everything gets
stuck in the Outbox. I tried to figure it out using MS the help feature in
Outlook 2007 but there is nothing for support with Vista. All help info is
for the last version of Windows. Getting frustrated. Any suggestions?
Thanks.
