What to do if Outlook stops sending emails

When, while working with the Outlook email client, emails stop being sent, it is always unpleasant. Especially when you have to make an urgent shipment.

So if you are not sending emails, the first thing to do is check the messages in the lower right part of the Outlook window.

If there is an "Offline" (or "Disconnected" or "Attempting to connect") message there, then your client is using the offline mode of operation.

To deactivate this mode, open the "Send and Receive" tab and in the "Options" section (located on the right side of the feed), click on "Offline operation".

After that, try sending the email again.
