messages stuck in my outbox

[alanbriggs]

Hello everyone,

I seem to all of a sudden be unable to send e-mail properly in windows
mail. If I send an e-mail to myself for example it stays in my outbox.
I also have a message that was sent I think from within adobe
photoshop elements 5, which again is residing in my outbox and with
this file, if I try to delete it or move it I recieve an "unknown
error" dialogue box. I cannot do anything with this e-mail. It's
Stuck!

I spoke to my ISP and they said it may be a problem with mcafee and to
disable the e-mail scanner. This has not resolved the issue and in any
case, I would prefer to keep my security levels as they were and as
mcafee recommend (with e-mail scanned both ways).

Does anyone know how I can sort this out? I ought to be able to e-mail
to myself, I have this file in my outbox that will not move, and this
has only recently occurred!

Any help will be gratefuly recieved - alanbriggs
