I cannot send my messages. There is no longer a "send" button to click.

Response to Toad-Hall: Thank you for writing. I still have the problem, because I do not have Composition Toolbar showing up when I click View and Then Toolbar. Toolbar shows Menue Bar, Mail toolbar, Folder Panel Toolbar and Status Bar.

Can you give me any additional help? I really appreciate hearing from you. No one else has responded. Thanks, Wayne

Hi Wayne

Luckily you don't need to send emails to respond with post a reply!

Please confirm you were able to do the following:

  • Start a new email message -
  • Enter a recipient address in the To line, and
  • Type a subject.

Do that, and when you have the new message open, and a valid email address and subject, then -

Press Alt V (That is, hold down the ALT key and press V then release both keys.)

That should open the correct View menu - then select Toolbars > and click the composition one to turn it on.

OR you could Hold down ALT, then press V T O to turn it on.

By the way there is a way to send email messages without the send button. Write the message, then hold down CTRL and hit ENTER.

The 'Send' button should be on the 'Composition Toolbar'.

Q: Do you see the 'Composition Toolbar' ? It should have 'Send', 'Spelling', 'Security' etc

If yes, but it has no 'Send' nor 'Send Later' button.

  • Right click on 'Composition Toolbar' and select 'Customise'
  • Click on 'Restore default set' button
  • click on 'Done'

If no: At the top do you see the 'Menu Bar'? It has 'File' , 'Edit' , 'View' etc. If yes:

  • 'View' > 'Toolbars' > select 'Composition Toolbar'

If no:

  • Press 'Alt' on keyboard to get a temporary view of it.
  • 'View' > 'Toolbars' > select 'Menu Bar' to set permanent.

Then select:

  • 'View' > 'Toolbars' > select 'Composition Toolbar'

To Toad-Hall: I tried getting back to you above--not sure you will get it. Basically, I still have the problem because I do not have Composition Toolbar showing up. I click View, Then Toolbars, and what then shows up is just Menu Bar, Mail Toolbar, Folder Pane Toolbar and Status Bar, and Customize.

Can you tell me how I can get the Composition Toolbar to show up?

Thanks again, Wayne

Thats because you are not doing it in the 'Write' window where you compose messages :) See image below.

Toad-Hall,

Thanks for your patience. It appears that my ability to send an e-mail would be solved if I could get the Composition Toolbar back.

Any ideas about that?

Then if you can, please take a screenshot of what the toolbar looks like, and attach it to a reply, so we can see what you see.

Agnes RM,

Thank you for your interest in my e-mail problem. Sorry, I don't know how to do a screen shot. Basically, I know that my problem is that the Composition Toolbar does not show up when I want to send a message. I understand that if I were able to click on the Composition toolbar, it would show the "Send" for me to use to send my e-mail message. I have clicked on View, Toolbars, Menu, etc., and none of them put the Composition Toolbar up there. I

P. S. If you respond to this and I want to get back to you, remember that I have to have the Post a Reply box to send anything.

AgnesRM,

You are wonderful! My e-mail "Send" problem is completely solved! I'd been trying for two days to get it fixed, and you did it. I'm sending you an air kiss and a big hug. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
