What is the Outbox in Microsoft Outlook?
In Microsoft Outlook, the "Outbox" is a folder where outgoing email messages are temporarily stored before they are sent. When you compose an email and click "Send," the message is placed in the Outbox folder until Outlook is able to establish a connection with your email server and transmit the message.
The Outbox serves as a holding area for outgoing messages, allowing Outlook to manage the sending process efficiently. Messages remain in the Outbox until they are successfully sent or until an error occurs during the sending process. If there is a connectivity issue or a problem with the recipient's email server, messages may stay in the Outbox until the issue is resolved or until you manually intervene.
Once Outlook successfully sends a message from the Outbox, it is moved to the "Sent Items" folder, indicating that it has been delivered to the recipient's mailbox. If you encounter any problems with sending messages, checking the Outbox can help you identify any pending messages and troubleshoot any issues that may be preventing them from being sent.
