Send the mail again
It may seem non-useful. But sometimes even sending the mail one more time solves the problem.

Firstly, do a right-click on the mail that has been stuck and point to Move.
Then, select the Drafts folder.
After that, check the mail in the Drafts folder.
Next, press Send.
Lastly, go through and note whether mail is present in the Sent list or in the outbox now.
Look on recipients mail address for twice
A small mistake in recipients address can stop Outlook from sending the mail. For instance, a mistake of a comma.

Look at your connection

Firstly, in the Outlook window see toward the corner side.
Observe that whether it is saying things like-Disconnected, Working Offline or Trying to connect.

Note that now you will be able to get ‘Connected to server’. It will be towards the end of the window.
Next, press the Send/Receive All Folder options. It will be under the Send and Receive group.
Lastly, go through to check whether mail is present in the Sent list or persisting in the outbox.
Check the attachments
In Outlook, there is a restriction on the size of the files that can get attached. For instance, it is 20 MB for the accounts over the net like for Gmail and 10 MB for business mail accounts.

Synchronize your password
