Brian Tillman. 5. I am having an issue receiving from any POP3 servers. I am basically getting an error saying the pop server has not responded in 60 seconds and if I wanted to wait another 60 seconds or stop it. This is happening with any POP 3 email account I have.

It is slowing down or completely halting my ability to send new emails. It is always in the process of transmitting therefore cannot be deleted. I have deleted outgoing messages in the past-it seemed to be possible because at some point they stop transmitting.
How do I get rid of this email? It is apparantly too large to leave my outbox.It is driving me nuts. As usual, Mary left out a step and she refuses to amend her advice to include it.
Here's the real process: CLick File and check WOrk Offline. Stop and restart Outlook. Delete the message, Click File and uncheck Work Offline. Stop and restarrt Outlook. Brian Tillman 2.

I send and e-mail via Outlook. I get an error message saying it could not be sent.
It does NOT show up in the 'sent' box - at least not for quite a while, but I think not at all. It DOES stay in the outbox and is sent with EVERY e-mail sent there after. Only when I manually clear it from the Outbox will it stop being sent with every e-mail. Any sugesttions? I have a large (15MB) file stuck in my outbox. Is there anyway to delete it? I tried to right click and delete, but nothing happens.

I am using Vista Home Premium and Outlook 2007. Every once in a while my emails get stuck in the outbox. I deleted the outgoing email, prepared another but still the same problem.

Couple days ago, I had solved a problem of frustrated user in sophisticated manner. Read whole story as happened below: With newbie computer device, I started to work on Windows 8 platform.
I had selected Outlook 2013 because of it huge PST size storage. After couple days, it reflected some erratic behaviors like unable to receive new emails and outgoing messages are stuck in “Outbox” folder. Apart from this, Outlook application shows a notification like this mentioned below: “Microsoft outlook is requesting data from the server' the connection status is always showing connected.” Then I moved towards Microsoft supports, to know the tips to remove this occurred issue. I have done these things:. Create new send receive group. Start Outlook in safe mode.
Uninstalled Outlook for re-installation. Creation of new Outlook profile. Changes in Account setting.
De-activated all add-ins Things that I have done defined above but failed to troubleshoot the origin of this problem. By luck, I met a tech expert via online mode. He was suggested to me to check the condition of PST file resides at local hard-drive. However, I was familiar with this file format but still not checked this probability of occurring a big problem with me.
So, I gone through recommended suggestion and shocked to see that my PST was suffering in intensive condition. Now I understood that ScanPST.exe is right utility at this occasion. So, I tried this but failed due to its unsecure & insufficient process. I was also known that there are some vendors in market that is already developed such kind of utility, via numerous fruitful resources on web.

At the beginning of infection with error, it is not easy to detect problematic conditions in all cases. In some instances, user is not aware with outgoing symptoms and result will be come in the form of drastic events.
Being a responsible user, if Outlook users are set a summarized & trusted obligation on their mail system then chances are lowered to happen such incidents. Statistics revels that most of PST’s are damaged in such conditions where is totally refused or failed to manage Outlook data. Why PST file receives error? The arrival of MS Outlook client’s gave the birth to PST (Personal Storage Table) i.e. A lucrative choice for centralized database lovers.
PST is well know for its fast accessibility, data fetch and predefined data pattern. However, this database is providing excellent service for data availability but can’t ensure the users from error’s attack. Error basically can be classified in two categories i.e. Known & unknown error. If user is ready to follow some basic rule then it is easy implement a prevention technique from errors. Most well known errors are received due to size limitation issue. In Outlook, each Outlook version has specific with predefined storage limit.
It is also another crucial fact that users are confused with real meaning of this terminology. In practical consideration, if you are trying to full your PST up to given limitation then it may be a possible to get suspicious event in database. Outlook data file (PST) is highly sensitive issue so users are required to monitor the health of PST file as well as diagnose any kind of unexpected symptoms. A series of caused are encountered by Tech experts like MVP (Microsoft Valuable Professional) and independent experts like: 1 - Lack of security on high-end threat level: Whenever, the message is conveyed by email system like email stuck, ‘can not send email’ and “Recycle Check Error” then user starts to search required executable file of damage recovery (ScanPST.exe).
Sometimes, it is found that the file itself corrupted by unknown error. At that moment, if you click this (.exe) file then output is received as un-responsive or halted during mid of operation. Now, it is not possible for users to get assured satisfaction in each case. 2 - Robustness of application: For handling problem of corruption in Outlook data file it is obvious that highly advanced software is needed. Microsoft provided Inbox repair tool is looking far away from user’s expectation. Perhaps, it is a free of cost and downloads with Microsoft Outlook application but fails to proof own reliability as per need. 3 - Fails to re-construct badly corrupted file: If PST hits by minor damage then Inbox repair tool works as per required need.
In major error attack, PST is not only severe wounded but also chances of lost data completely. To generate data from beginning including spotted areas is a tedious task for Microsoft utility. 4 - Lower detection power: In first phase, the utility scans the damaged location in Outlook PST file. After that, the task of re-construction is started in next round. In case, damage is worst then Microsoft utility fails to find out affected places.
5 - No answer to bug: Apart from error, bug is also responsible for an inaccessible data file in Outlook. In case, you PST is affected by bug then Microsoft has no option to resolve this problem correctly.
6 - Longer process with lack of assurance: This is another drawback of this utility i.e. Time consuming approach. Sometimes, it takes several hours to repair a data file. At the end of process, it is not necessary to receive expected result in each case. 7 - Emptied by virus or error: After getting hit by error or virus, user sees this utility like a disaster management but occasionally this executable file also empties by unknown error/virus. Now, if you run this program then either fails to initiate the operation due to lack of supported items or would be halted during process.
