Outgoing email is sent to the outbox instead of to the recipient

[iMore Question]

When I try to send an email it goes into my outbox instead of being sent to the recipient. Why is this happening and what can I do to rectify the problem?

Make sure you have a good signal on wifi or cell. Make sure you have the correct email password. If all are good do a restart. Hold in both buttons until the apple logo appears.

If the given advice does not work, Delete the email acct. and do the same reboot to clear everything and re add the acct. which should take care of it.

If your configured email account is set to fetch, it is possible that it is awaiting the next fetch cycle to send.

Follow above advice for fix

It just might come down to a weak data signal use WiFI whenever possible
