Check Attachment Size
Verify the size of any attachments in your email to see if they are larger than 25MB. Gmail users are not now able to email attachments larger than 25MB. Send the email again, making sure the attachment is under 25MB in size. If the combined size of the attachments is greater than 25MB, you can divide them into two emails.
Clear Gmail Cache
The cache may have held any corrupted or expired files if you haven’t emptied it in a while. To avoid problems like this, make sure you frequently delete the cache. Go to Chrome Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and other site data to delete the Gmail cache. Delete the Gmail entry by scrolling down to See all cookies and site data. Cache for Gmail will be removed.
Check whether Gmail is in offline mode
Even while you’re offline, Gmail lets you browse your messages and create new ones. However, you must have internet access in order to send an email. An email sent in offline mode will remain in the Outbox. Go to Gmail Settings > See All Settings and select the Offline option to turn off offline mode. Resend the email that is stuck in the Outbox after unchecking the box labelled “Enable offline mail.”
Update the Gmail app
Try updating your Gmail app if you use it on your smartphone. The old version of the app may be getting phased out if you haven’t updated it in a time. Enter “Gmail” on the Google Play Store to find it. Select the Update option on the app page.
