I too have a stuck message in my Outbox. Now I can't send any messages. I
can receive but not send (forward, send, reply, etc.). How does one
eliminate the problem (I can't delete the problem message. I can delete
other messages in my outbox but not the problem one). My ISP provider wants
me to call Microsoft. Can you imagine how much that would cost or if I
would really get any help? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Dick
 
Hi, Dick.

This sounds like the "unsent messages in Outbox" problem that has been
reported here by many WM users. Here's the URL for MVP Steve Cochran's
standard fix:
http://www.eohelp.com/WMUtil

If that doesn't help, post back and let us know.

It's not your ISP's fault. The problem is internal to WM. MS knows about
the problem, but has not promised a fix, so far as I know. :>(

Steve Cochran has graciously developed a free utility program
that will remove a stuck message from the Outbox:
Go to http://www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/
When you start to download the wmutil.zip file,
be sure to choose Save rather than Run.
After it finishes downloading choose Run, then Extract. Then it will
show the extraction folder with two files in it, WMUtil.exe and scxout.dll.
Run WMUtil.exe, wait until the buttons become active, then click on
Clear Outbox. It may take a while. Before you start, make sure
Windows Mail is not running.
