What can I do if my email’s stuck in outboxGmail?

1. Deselect the Enable offline mode

2. Check the file size of email attachments

If you’re sending emails with file attachments, check the total file size. If the file size of your attachment exceeds 25 MB, then you won’t be able to send it.

To resolve this, try sending emails using a compressed archive. We recommend you look into thebest compression tools for Windows 10.

These tools are able to archive any file without loss of quality, and many of them include a split option that will create smaller archives if the size of your files is too big and requires that.

This will allow you to send files through the Gmail app without any worry about size limitations.

3. Clear Gmail’s cache

4. Clear the Gmail app’s data

5. Select the Allow background data usage option
