Removing The Emails In Outlook Outbox

One of the major issues associated with the Outlook email client is the presence of enumerable emails in the Outbox folder that you were not able to send from the email client. Below we discuss how a user can remove the messages in the Outbox folder with ease.

Instructions
Open the Outlook program by double clicking on its desktop shortcut icon. When the Outlook application window appears in the screen, look for the Outbox folder in the left side of the application window and then click on it for opening the folder.
Now look for the button named Send/receive that is usually found at the top of your Outlook program, click on the button when found. When you click on the button, the Outlook program will automatically send all the unsent emails present in the Outbox folder and will receive all the emails that are on the way. Outlook tech support lists this as the most easiest and simplest way for freeing your Outlook Outbox folder

Sometimes you may see that even though you have clicked on the button, messages in the Outbox folders are not being sent. This issue is mainly found when you access the internet from your laptop computer on which you have configured the Outlook program from a different connection than which you have created or configured the Outlook program. In such cases, there is a chance for the occurrence of the communication glitch between the application and the internet router.

The only way to fix this issue is to use the connection that you have used to configure the account or to use a connection that is compatible with the Outlook program you are using. After connecting to a compatible connection, click on the Send/Receive button for getting rid of the emails in the outbox.

If everything fails, you can always clear your Outbox folder of email messages by deleting all the messages found in it. However, if you would like to keep a copy of the original messages, copy all the messages in the Outbox folder to a different folder and then save the emails. After saving the emails, Outlook tech support advises that you clean the Outbox. For cleaning emails from the Outbox folder, click on all emails that you would like to delete and then right click on them to select the Delete option found in the drop down menu. If the program asks you for confirmation, confirm it by clicking on the Yes button.

If you follow the simple instructions given above, you will be able to easily get rid of the emails present in the Outbox folder of the Outlook program.
