email stuck in outbox Outlook 2013
Experts,
We have two users that constantly and inconsistently have emails stuck within their outbox. They only realize it when their client is requesting the emails, when they check the email is in the outbox. The problem has become urgent. I have tried everything from creating new outlook profiles, disabling add ins, virus\malware scans, updating nic drivers.Opened a case with Microsoft, they ran repairs on exchange, deleted and moved mailbox to different store, enabled logs to catch the issue, nothing has worked so far. Thanks in advance for your assistance

Hi Will,
Yes it is only happens to specific users 3 total. Yes the issues only started to happen when we upgraded from office 2007 to office 2013. One user specifically told me that she never had an issue in Outlook 2007

If this only happens with 3 people can you just do the following...
- export the users entire mailbox (New-MailboxExportRequest and save as a pst)
- Create a new mailbox for this user
- import the pst file from into the new mailbox (NewMailboxImportRequest)
I say this because there are not a lot of users involved and this will save time in the long run.
Also if there users login to another machine does Outlook work properly for them? It may not be the Outlook profile as you have stated that you have already tried re-creating it but maybe the Windows Profile.

ok, I will try that. We didn't have the users log on to another machine as the problem is so inconsistent. I will try your method above and see if that works. It must have something to do with the upgrade from office 2007 to 2013.
Hi,
Uncheck the cached exchange mode and see what is happening. I am not sure it will work but just trying in this way....
one more thing open email account settings and go to more settings, select connection tab and uncheck Connect To Microsoft exchange using HTTP.

Hi Praveen,
Both of those options are unchecked. We never used cached mode, all users are online mode. Any more suggestions? Thanks.

Hi Maher,
We asked the user to use OWA and it no issues, but she did not want to use it for more than a day because of functionality. But the problem is so random and inconsistent, that it wont happen for a day or two then it happens, but always to the same three users. Currently running the an updated version of outlook. Very frustrating problem as we cannot find what is causing the issue and Microsoft support could not as well.

Goto file account setting change account
Check if server name is mailbox identity@yourdomain.com or just a name
If identity go to more setting ->connection -> exchange proxy setting
Https:// your fqdn
Check connect using ssl
Check only connect to proxy server write msstd:your mail fqdn name
Proxy authentication basic
Check if server name is mailbox identity@yourdomain.com or just a name

Ok, I will try that as well, does this create a more stable connection to exchange?
The server name must show as hex@domain as new arch of exchange
Previous exchange use basic
Exchange 2013 use ntlm this sometimes cause problem with send

I checked it and the setting show as servername@domain.com, if so it is suggested to use the secure setting connections
Great
Then you check account setting
Server name shown as name@domain
Not hex format@domain
This mean cannot find your account path
As connection to mailbox changed from exchange 2010 &2013
Try set thesecurity and test then repair profilw again

And as work around to map these users assign your account full control on their mailboxes then open your outlook their accounts will belisted in your outlook and the map will be created

Problem still exists after all the suggestions. Anyone with anymore suggestions.

We recreated the users windows profile. Its been about 2 months with no issues. I think there was something attached to the profile that was affecting it

Recreating the profile is the last resort scenario, there may be a more direct answer, but it worked.

Based on the comment you accepted as the answer recreated the Windows Profile. I had mentioned doing this in my very first post.
