you have 64-bit Vista, use the 32-bit option.

For the undeletable messages, download and install this hotfix, with Windows
Mail not running:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/941090

Although it's labelled as for mail stuck in the Outbox, it also works in
other folders. If you don't know whether you have a 32-bit version
of Vista or a 64-bit version, try the hotfix for the 32-bit version first.
Certain common antivirus programs, such as most of those from
Norton or McAfee, tend to cause this and other problems in
Windows Mail, although seldom immediately, so if you have such a
program, remember where to find the hotfix, and hope it will install
again if you need it again. A recent version of the Trend antivirus
program also causes assorted problems in Windows Mail.

iam having problems with my email. sending i messages stuck in my out box
this is the message iam getting, can someone help me,.

an unknown error has occurred. Subject '', Account: 'mail.mchsi.com',

You may be trying to send a message with a blank subject line, which
some email servers object to.

Also, that server may not be properly recognizing when you have
stopped using some connections to it, and therefore keeping those
connections alive after you stop using them and therefore having
too many active at once.

See if these instructions help:

They were written for Outlook Express, but should also work under
Windows Mail if they don't call for the HTTP protocol.

Does your connection to that server cross over from one internet
provider's equipment to another's before it reaches the server?
If so, such connections to port 25 are often blocked to cause trouble
for spammers.

You might try to move the messages that stay in the Outbox to the
Drafts folder, or delete them. If any refuse to do either, download
and install this hotfix, with Windows Mail not running:

Do you have more than one computer on a home network?
"Too many connections (2)" seems to imply that.

Which antivirus are you using? Some of them are not very
compatible with Windows Mail.

I have downloaded the suggested fix, but still get the same error message
even after restarting my computer. I'm very frustrated.

you seem to have good answers. i tried downloading the 941090 like you
had
suggested but when i try to open it i get a pop-up saying that the
update
does not apply to my system. any other tricks?

Gary VanderMolen

After downloading that fix, did you double-click on it so that it runs?
Did it give any response or error message?

Perhaps that fix is not applicable for your problem. Are there a collection
of unsent messages in your Outbox? If so, move them to the Drafts
folder. If one message won't move and can't be deleted, the KB941090
fix should work. If your symptoms are a little different, please describe.

Did you try installing both the 32-bit version of the KB941090 hotfix
and the 64-bit version? One should refuse to install, but usually not
the other one. Just downloading either of them, without installing them,
doesn't help.

If that doesn't help either, click on the error message and copy it to your
next message, in case there's some important detail of it that's different
from the previous error messages.

Configure Comcast to use SMTP Port 587:

I downloaded and it automatically installed the 32 bit version, so no, I
haven't tried the 64 bit version. Is there something else I have to do to
make this download work on my computer?

Did you try installing both the 32-bit version of the KB941090 hotfix
and the 64-bit version? One should refuse to install, but usually not
the other one. Just downloading either of them, without installing them,

I don't understand what that means, sorry. Also, I should tell you that I've
been using Windows Mail for the last 2 months without any trouble - this only
started yesterday. Why the sudden problem?
