I am also have a problem with Windows mail sending emails in only one user
account although the administrator account seems to work ok. I have called
McAfee and have removed it to this point but as indicated by Gary the damage
is done so I am assuming that even though McAfee is uninstalled it is still
creating the problem of outgoing messages hanging up in Outbox and not
sending. I tried to change as indicated and get message that one or more of
messages in the outbox do not have a valid account specified and it asks if
want (what is now) default account to send messages (although it still does
not do so) Please advise if you have suggestions
 
If you can't delete those messages, and they are stuck in the outbox,
you should try the latest edition of the WMUtil utility:
http://www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/
When you download the file, be sure to choose Save rather than Run.
After it finishes downloading choose Run, then Extract. Then it will
show the extracted folder with two files in it. Run WMUtil.exe, and
click Clear Outbox. It may take a while. Before you start, make sure
Windows Mail is not running.

I can manually delete the messages from the outbox but the problem is that I
can not send emails from that user meaning I can receive email but not send.
That is the part I am trying to figure out how to fix is the part of being
able to send from Windows Mail running Vista without having the messages stay
stuck in the outgoing mail box. thanks
 
After uninstalling McAfee, remove your mail account and then close and
reopen WinMail and then add the mail account back again. See if that fixes
it.

You might also try the compact and repair buttons in WMUtil.
