Summary: Outlook requires an active internet connection with the mailbox server to send or receive messages.

However, if the connection is fine, it's possible that your Outlook profile or data file (PST) is damaged and requires repair. In this guide, you will learn to fix the Outlook 2016 not sending email issue and repair your Outlook PST using a PST repair software.

How to Fix Outlook 2016 Not Sending Emails?
