Help. I have an email (with the wrong address) that I am unable to delete
from the outbox. Have tried all the suggestions here and its not happening.
The error message comes up that I do not have enough memory or disk space???
I have tried loading the WMUtil as advised by Steve but I can't access the
Compact Database, Repair Database and Clear Out Box buttons - could a
firewall be stopping the programme - I have McAfee security.

The usual reason for that is a straightforward failure
to read and follow the instructions...

If Windows Mail is open, or if a current WinMail.exe process is running, the
Database functions are disabled, and the WinMail.exe process must be
terminated before these features can become available. (If WinMail is closed
and these buttons still remain disabled, then perform a CTRL-SHIFT-ESC, and
under Processes find WinMail.exe and click on it, and then click the End
Process button.)

Please go back to the Web site and read the instructions.

Also, Email scanning should be turned off in any anti-virus. It provides no
protection not provided by the regular resident program.
Beside that, McAfee and Norton are not compatible with Windows Mail.
