mail stuck in the outbox

[Meg]

does anyone experience mail getting stuck in the outbox in Outlook 2003,

If i need to open the email before it gets sent. It seems to lose it's date
(it turns to NONE) and then never leaves the outbox.

The solution is to open the email, move to view the inbox and then hit send
again.

I'm just wondering if anyone else goes thru this.

thanks

This is normal. It allows you to "stop" an e-mail from being sent if you
catch it in time.

You do not need to change the view back to inbox, just open the mail and
click send. Then don't open it if you want it to send.

to add to this, if you do need to move it to send, it's caused by an addin -

switch to another folder before pressing send - if you have certain addins
installed you can't resend when the outbox is open.
