Can't get rid of O.E. Error Message

[Ron]

The message below has been appearing in my Outlook Express
(Wins XP, Home Ed.)for a month now every time I try to send
outgoing mail. I've deleted the undeliverable e mail
addresses, so how do I now get rid of the message itself?
Thanks, Ron

"The message could not be sent because one of the
recipients was rejected by the server. The rejected e-mail
address was -------------'mail.optonline.net', Protocol:
SMTP, Server Response: '550 5.1.1 unknown or illegal alias:
------Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 550, Error
Number: 0x800CCC79"

Ron,
Doesn't make much sense that your receiving an error message after deleting
e-mail address. Is there still a message in your 'Outbox'? check all your
Outboxes, 'Local', Hotmail and if you use Hotmail integrated with your
Outlook Express delete the address from their Hotmail site.

Go into the Outbox and delete the message.

Thanks Drew and malke,

Drew,
Ahhh, I DO show this message in my LOCAL Outbox, something
I only dicovered by clicking on "Local Folders' tab. But
now that I found it in Local how do I delete it please? The
only option when I open 'Local Folders' is 'Send and
Receive All' which just evokes the same error message.

Hi, Ron. I don't have OE, so can't confirm this, but what happens if you
right-click on the message? Do you get the little menu so you can now
choose "Delete"?
