Yahoo email stuck in outbox
Frustrating! Don't worry, I'm here to help you troubleshoot the issue. Here are some steps to help you resolve the problem:
Check your email settings
- Log in to your Yahoo Mail account.
- Click on the gear icon () in the top right corner and select "Settings."
- Go to the "Accounts" tab.
- Ensure that your email account is set to "POP" or "IMAP" and not "SMTP" only.
- Check if your "Outgoing Mail Server" is set correctly. It should be "smtp.mail.yahoo.com" (port 587).
Check your email filters
- Go to the "Filters" tab in your Yahoo Mail settings.
- Look for any filters that might be causing the issue.
- Try disabling or deleting any filters that seem suspicious or unnecessary.
Check for email size limitations
- Yahoo Mail has a file size limit of 25MB for attachments.
- If you have an email with a large attachment, try breaking it down into smaller files or using a file compression tool.
Check for email formatting issues
- Sometimes, email formatting issues can cause emails to get stuck in the outbox.
- Try reformatting the email or re-sending it with a plain text format.
Try sending the email again
- Go back to your inbox and find the email stuck in the outbox.
- Click on the email and try sending it again.
Contact Yahoo Support
- If none of the above steps work, you can contact Yahoo Support for further assistance.
- They may be able to help you resolve the issue or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
Additional tips
- Make sure your internet connection is stable and working properly.
- Try clearing your browser cache and cookies before trying to send the email again.
- If you're using a third-party email client, try using the Yahoo Mail web interface instead.
I hope these steps help you resolve the issue and get your email out of the outbox!
