In Gmail, the outbox refers to the temporary holding area for emails that you're in the process of sending. Emails stay in the outbox if there's an issue with sending, such as poor internet connection. Once the email is successfully sent, it moves from the outbox to the sent items folder. Check the outbox if emails aren't sending and troubleshoot as necessary.
