What does dismiss mean for mail in outbox

When you see "Dismiss" in your email's Outbox, it usually means that the email was not sent successfully and is being held in a temporary queue. Here are a few possible reasons why an email might be dismissed:

  1. Server error: The email server may have encountered an error while trying to send the email, causing it to be dismissed.
  2. Recipient's email address is invalid: If the email address you're trying to send to is invalid or doesn't exist, the email will be dismissed.
  3. Email size exceeds limits: If the email is too large to be sent, it may be dismissed by the email server.
  4. Email content is blocked: Some email providers may block certain types of content, such as attachments or specific keywords, which can cause an email to be dismissed.
  5. Network connectivity issues: If your internet connection is unstable or slow, it may cause the email to be dismissed.

When an email is dismissed, it's usually held in the Outbox until you take action to resolve the issue. You can try the following:

  1. Check the email's content and recipient's email address to ensure they're correct.
  2. Try sending the email again.
  3. Check your email provider's settings or contact their support team to see if there are any issues on their end.
  4. If the issue persists, you may need to delete the email and recreate it.

By dismissing the email, you're essentially telling your email client to remove the email from the Outbox and try sending it again later.
