Sent email going to draft folder not sending

The frustration of an email stuck in the draft folder! Don't worry, I'm here to help you troubleshoot the issue. Here are some common reasons why an email might not be sending:

  1. Check your internet connection: Ensure you have a stable internet connection. A weak or non-existent connection can prevent your email from sending.
  2. Server issues: Sometimes, server issues can cause emails to get stuck in the draft folder. Try closing and reopening your email client or checking the server status.
  3. Email client settings: Verify that your email client settings are correct. Check your account settings, server settings, and port numbers to ensure they are correct.
  4. Draft folder issues: Try deleting the draft email and rewriting it. If the issue persists, try moving the draft email to the "Sent" folder and then back to the "Draft" folder to see if it resolves the issue.
  5. Email size: If your email is too large, it might not be sending. Check the size of your email and try breaking it up into smaller parts or attaching files separately.
  6. Attachments: If you're attaching files, try removing them and sending the email without attachments. If it sends successfully, the issue might be with the attachments.
  7. Spam filters: Your email provider's spam filters might be flagging your email as spam. Try sending the email to a different recipient or checking your spam folder to see if it's been flagged.
  8. Email client plugins: Disable any plugins or add-ons you're using in your email client to see if they're causing the issue.
  9. Account settings: Check your account settings to ensure you're using the correct email address, password, and server settings.
  10. Clear cache and cookies: Clear your browser's cache and cookies to ensure that any temporary issues are resolved.

To resolve the issue, you can try the following steps:

  1. Log out and log back in to your email account.
  2. Check your email client's settings and update them if necessary.
  3. Try sending the email from a different device or browser.
  4. Contact your email provider's support team for assistance.

If none of these steps resolve the issue, please provide more details about your email client, account settings, and the exact error message you're receiving. I'll do my best to help you troubleshoot the problem!
