i have one message in my outbox that i cannot delete. I keep getting unknow
error occurred and this is preventing me from sending any out going mail. It
is very annoying that microsoft is not doing anything about this problem.
Please advise on a "easy" fix for this probem
 
Teri,

I and several other people have had the same problem. Go to

www.oehelp.com/wmutil

and download Steve Cochran's utility. Use the utility (after unzipping) and
compact your e-mail and the problem will go away. It did for me. Then
compact your e-mail every time you get the dialog box asking if you want to
compact your e-mail.

Good luck.

Teri,

Do you have your system backed up to an external hard drive or elsewhere?

Here is what I did. I restored, Windows Mail only, to a date that Windows
Mail was working properly. Then I used Steve's utility ( go to
www.oehelp.com/wmutil) to compact my
e-mail. Plus I compact my e-mail every time the dialog box appears.

Hopefully this helps.

explanitory. thanks a lot

I too have this problem and have tried to delete, resend to different
address, and it won't move. My Dell connect contract expired 6/27 and am not
prepared to buy 3 incidents help for $110.

Download and install this fix, with Windows Mail not running:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/941090

Although it's labelled as for mail stuck in the Outbox, it also works in
other folders. If you don't know whether to use the 32-bit version or
the 64-bit version, try the 32-bit version first. Certain common
antivirus programs, such as most of those from Norton or McAfee,
or a recent one from Trend, often cause such problems, although
seldom immediately, so if you have such a program, remember
where to find the fix - you are likely to need it again.

Microsoft already wrote a fix. Download and install it with Windows Mail
not running.

Are you a Navy brat? What's the chance you graduated from Mary Carroll High
School? MANY changes over the years. I can hope to find my friend, can't I?

I know Teri is a common spelling now, but it didn't used to be.

Stay safe, and may God bless. I wish you His peace.

P.S. Moderator- KN 941090 worked REAL well. Thanks!
