<div dir="ltr">What Frank says is correct, but to add to it, if you _do_ see messages in your Outbox and they're not going away, then you have a connection or configuration issue. So like Frank says, the Outbox is a temporary holding pen, but it's also a "alarm" if there's a problem.<div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Fri, 24 Mar 2017 at 08:15 raymond <<a href="mailto:raymondh40@gmail.com">raymondh40@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000" class="gmail_msg">

<pre class="gmail_msg">Typically, that's how it should work. The Outbox is just a temporary
"holding pen" for your email. Once the message has been delivered it
leaves the Outbox and you'll find it in the Sent folder (and the Inbox
of the recipient, hopefully).
