Steve,

It works!

Thank you very much.

There is a newer version. It still may be buggy, but that error is fixed.

Delete the old exe and dll first.

Unfortunately not.

I've just got an email from Microsoft support that says:

"Plus, if some issues are encountered in Windows Mail in the future,
we can use third-party software called WMUtil to resolve them..."

I hope they are paying you

 

[Steve Cochran]

MS product support services may be monitoring them, but I don't think any
others are.

Its for the messages stuck in the outbox and not deleted items. Also on the
website it says this:

(If WinMail is closed and these buttons still remain disabled, then perform
and CTRL-SHIFT-ESC and under Processes find WinMail.exe and click on it, and
then click the End Process button.)

Solved; I had to select “WindowsMail.MSMessageStore†manually, and then click
“Clear Outbox.†Thank you, wayne

Workaround
(Close Windows Mail First)
1. Backup all messages, except the Outbox, using File > Export, and
connection settings using Tools > Accounts > Export...
2. Click Start> Go to Computer.
3. Press the ALT key to show hidden TOOLS> Go to Folder Options.
4. On the Folder Options window, click the View tab.
5. Locate Hidden files and folders and select Show Hidden File and Folders
6. Click Apply then OK.
7. Go to C:\Users\(username)\AppData\Local\Microsoft\
8. Locate the Windows Mail Folder, right-click on the folder and choose
Delete.
9. Right-click on Recycle Bin and choose Empty Recyle Bin.
10 Restart the system and run Windows Mail again.
11. Import all messages and connection settings

I have the same problem. Have you been able to resolve this?

I have a long list of emails that cannot be sent because there is one email
that says there is an error . I CANNOT DELETE IT.

HELP!!!

Why can't microsoft just include the Help in Vista when you buy it?

I am having the same problem as Tracy. Please specify where User Profile is
in Microsoft Vista. I look forward to your reply.

Same issue. Can't find ANYTHING on Microsoft.com, can't contact anyone, I
want Microsoft to either fix this and other problems or bring back Outlook
Express. I do not want to install other software to fix a Microsoft problem.

Bring back XP and OE. So far Vista and it's pieces are a pain and were not
worth installing!

 

[Gary VanderMolen]

If you want to wait for Microsoft to fix Windows Mail, you
will probably have to wait a long time.
If you don't want to wait, get Windows Live Mail:
