Mac mail server offline messages stuck in draft mode portable#
If I delete a message, it disappears temporarily, but when I quit mail (usually force quit, because quitting hangs the app, even after waiting 24 hours) and launch mail again, the removed messages re-appear. So its been a decade of hacks for people writing portable code in C. Issues discovered since last time: Deleted messages never get removed from the Inbox. They are also being placed in the Sent folder, but the interface does not reflect those results - the barber pole "sending" indicator is still stuck in sending mode. I did discover that messages now, though, ARE being sent. So, you have to make sure that the mail server is online. If the mail server is offline, then your email messages will remain in the Outbox folder until the server state changes from offline to online. First, you are required to check the state of the mail server.

I used Thomas Suttles1 suggestion to remove the Outbox.mbox, but that lasted for 2 messages, and now the "new" Outbox shows messages waiting to be sent, but nothing is in there. Method 1 Check the Outlook connection status. I cannot explain why one day it wasn't there and the next it was. I didn't have to do the edits described above.

If the status is Network Offline, make sure that your Mac is connected to the internet, then try again. Somewhere between when I reported this and now, the Outbox appeared. You might see a status icon such as a lightning bolt or a warning icon next to your accounts inbox in the Mail sidebar, or in the upper-right corner of the Mail window.
