Your Outbox in Mac Mail can be found in the Mail app's sidebar. If you don’t see it, try sending an email, and the Outbox will appear temporarily. If it doesn't show, your emails are likely being sent immediately, and there's no need for an Outbox. In case of persistent issues, check your internet connection and SMTP server settings to ensure emails are sent properly.
