Email is stuck in my OutBox. Connection Doctor has all green lights.

I have three Apple devices and three email accounts in MAIL. On only one device (my MacBook Pro), I can send email but outgoing emails stay in the Outbox. Connection Doctor gives me all green lights. I've double checked my outgoing servers and ports, etc.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

What do you mean by " I can send email but outgoing emails stay in the Outbox."

If they are still in your outbox they are not sent.


Is that true for all three accounts when you originate the message from the different accounts?

What accounts are they?

Can you receive mail from all three accounts?

Have you tried deleting the accounts from the Mail app and reentering the settings?

Sorry, my mistake. I meant to say that I can RECEIVE emails, but all outgoing emails stick in my Outbox. I have three GMAIL accounts. I have three Apple devices--MacBook Pro, MB Air and iPhone4. This error only happens on my MBPro and with all three GMAIL accounts. On my other two devices, incoming and outgoing emails work fine.
