The new Outlook is great for many reasons, but this outbox shenannigans is getting me down!!! The synch button is located View/View Settings/Synch - not particularly obvious, and you can't customise the ribbon to show this.............
Why does Outlook queue outgoing emails

I have moved from the old Outlook to the New Outlook. When I have written an email, it does not send. Instead it goes to my outbox and is shown as 'queued' for some time before it sent - even when the email is very short and there are no other emails waiting to go.

I have the same problem. Outlook and email work fine on my desktop but cannot send out emails on my Samsung Android tablet as they are stuck in the queue. Any more recent advice available?
