Mail Drop not working: mail is stuck in outbox

I try to send a large file (15MB) with Apple Mail (MacOS 12.6.1 Monterey), but it gets stuck in the outbox folder.

I checked my mailaccounts (preferences- accounts) and Mail Drop is activated.

Any suggestions?

iMac 27″, macOS 12.6

Suggestion to " Take All Accounts OffLine " as per image below.


This should all the User to Delete the file attachment


Then, Compress ( zip ) the file as per second image


Bring accounts back Online and attach the Compressed File and try sending again.


Certain ISPs have Limits on File attachment sizes and by compressing the file may allow for a successful transmission
