Twigged outlook email

You're referring to the "Twigged" issue in Outlook!

"Twigged" is a colloquial term used to describe a specific problem in Outlook where an email message appears to be "stuck" or "frozen" in the "Outbox" folder, even though it has been sent successfully. The email remains in the Outbox, and the user cannot delete or move it.

The term "Twigged" is thought to have originated from the idea that the email has become "stuck" or "twigged" in the Outbox, much like a twig might get stuck in a tree.

To resolve the "Twigged" issue in Outlook, you can try the following:

  1. Restart Outlook: Sometimes, simply restarting Outlook can resolve the issue.
  2. Check the email's status: Look for the email's status in the Outbox folder. If it says "Sent" or "Delivered", it's likely that the email has been sent successfully, and you can try deleting it.
  3. Try sending the email again: If the email is still in the Outbox, try sending it again. This might resolve the issue.
  4. Check for any errors: Look for any error messages or warnings in the Outlook error logs or the Windows Event Viewer.
  5. Contact your IT department or email administrator: If none of the above steps resolve the issue, you may want to contact your IT department or email administrator for further assistance.

It's worth noting that the "Twigged" issue is relatively rare and is often caused by a temporary glitch or a specific configuration issue. If you're experiencing this issue frequently, it may be worth investigating further to determine the root cause.
