I am trying to send an email to a group of 34 people and Windows Mail will
not let me send it. Has anyone else had this problem? If so, how do I fix
it?
 
Please post here the complete and accurate error message,exactly as it
appears on screen.

I don't get an error message. The email never even makes it to the Outbox.
It just disappears.
 
Are you using Windows Mail?
Have you set up the email account with the details from your Internet
Service Provider?
Username, passowrd, incoming and outgoing mail servers, etc?
 
MDB has clearly specified that he is using Windows Mail,including doing so
in the subject itself.
I too use Windows Mail,and if no mail account has been set up,the account
configuration wizard is automatically invoked the first time when a mail
message is tried to be sent across,which has not happened in this case.

I don't need a lecture in computers from you!
Keep your nose out of my questions to the thread owner!
Understand me, boy?

That's not fair!

I think he's still got a couple of teeth.
 
Will the message send if you reduce the number of recipients?

Which antivirus program are you running, and is it configured to
scan emails?

I have removed microsoft.public.windows.vista.general from the
cross-posting, because that just invites the hooligans.

You might want to ask Comcast what the maximum number of people you
can send to at once is. Most email providers have such a limit.

You might also want to check if your up to date on the changes Comcast
has started requiring, without being very good at telling their users about
it in advance.

Some interesting happened since last nights posting. I received three
"Delivery status notification" emails from three of the recipients. All
typing mistakes. So I decided to open Outlook 2003 and look in the "Sent
Items" folder and there was the email. So apparently Windows Mail did send
the email it just didn't display in the "Outbox". Nor did it appear in the
"Sent Items" folder.
 
I only sent it to 34 people. It is well within Comcast's limits. I think
it is a technical issue with Windows Mail. Because I received three
"Delivery status notification" emails from three of the recipients. All

Items" folder and there was the email. So apparently Windows Mail did send

"Sent Items" folder.
 
There's a possibility that it is in one of those folders, but hidden.
To check for this, start Windows Mail, then click on the Outbox,
then View, then Current View, then Show All Messages, and see
if this makes the message appear. Then click on Sent Items, then
View, then Current View, then Show All Messages, and see if
this makes the message appear.
 
I did. It said "Show All Messages".
