If you open and close an e-mail message while it is in your Outbox, the
e-mail message won't be sent because you've changed its status. If the
status of the e-mail message has been changed, the title of the e-mail
message no longer appears in italic.
To send the e-mail message, open the message, and then click Send. The
message title changes back to the italic format in the Outbox Messages view.
The next time that you make a connection to the mail server, the e-mail
message is delivered. Sometimes just by dragging the message from the
outbox to the drafts folder is a good cure. Then close Outlook, restart your
computer and try to reconnect and send the message that is now saved in your
drafts folder.
