To send a message from your outbox in Gmail, you can try the following steps:
1. Deselect the Enable offline mode: If you have enabled offline mode in your Gmail settings, it may prevent your emails from being sent. To disable this, open the Gmail web app in a browser on your computer, click on the settings gear icon in the top right corner, and make sure the “Enable offline” option is unchecked.
2. Check the file size of email attachments: Large attachments may take longer to send or may cause issues. Make sure the file size of your attachments is within the limits set by Gmail, which is currently 25 MB for most accounts. If your attachment is larger, consider uploading it to a cloud storage service and sharing the link instead.
3. Clear Gmail’s cache: Sometimes, clearing the cache of the Gmail app can help resolve issues. On your Android device, go to Settings, then Apps or Application Manager, find Gmail in the list of installed apps, and tap on it. From there, you can clear the cache by selecting the appropriate option.
4. Clear the Gmail app’s data: If clearing the cache doesn’t work, you can try clearing the app’s data. Note that this will remove your account settings and preferences, so you will need to set them up again. Follow the same steps as above, but instead of clearing the cache, choose the “Clear data” option.
5. Select the Allow background data usage option: If you’re using Gmail on a mobile device and have restricted background data usage for the app, it may prevent your emails from being sent. To enable background data usage, go to Settings, then Data usage or Network & internet, find Gmail in the list of apps, and make sure the “Restrict app background data” option is turned off.
6. Update the Gmail app: Outdated versions of the Gmail app can sometimes cause issues when sending emails. Make sure you have the latest version installed from the Google Play Store or the App Store, depending on your device.
By following these steps, you should be able to send your email from the outbox in Gmail. However, if you continue to experience issues, it’s recommended to reach out to Gmail support for further assistance.
