outgoing mail stuck in outbox

I am constantly getting outgoing mail stuck in outbox with outgoing servers showing offline - sometimes getting an email out is utterly futile


what is the solution?


it seems even worse after moving to Lion

iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.2)

i would love to post to your cited forum, but cannot find it in the directory


even mail application is not in the directory


when i click on your link i come directly back to what i suspect is the os 10.7 oper sys forum.


more info please


my posting


no issues until recently when the incoming mail from my internet providers primary mail box, joe@primary.net, does not always show up in my "primary" mailbox. it does show up in the aggregated "inbox" mailbox. i have done a mail box rebuild to no avail. have preferences been changed? - have i inadvertantly changed them?

i am now running os 10.7.5 and mail version 5.3. verizon fios is my internet provider.


about the time of the issue start, i renewed verizon fios with the same features and services, but the internet speed increased substantially. i did not change any fios adaptations or preferences - to my knowledge.
