Outbox do not send messages

[Guest]

Download and install this fix, 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 to use the 32-bit version or
the 64-bit version, try the 32-bit version first. Certain common
antivirus programs, such as most of those from Norton or McAfee,
or a recent one from Trend, tend to cause such problems, although
seldom immediately, so if you have such a program, remember
where to find the fix - you are likely to need it again.

You may need to delete the message after applying the fix.

oehelp.com WMUtil/ worked for a message stuck in the inbox, also. I
clicked the "Repair Database" button. After 5 days of "help" from my service
provider, Microsoft, and my computer manufacturer, I was beyond happy to find
this quick fix.
Thanks

Glad it worked for you, but you are quoting from a very old post.
Microsoft released a newer fix many months ago:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/941090

It is always best to check the latest responses here first, so as
to utilize the newest fixes.

My outbox is not sending my emails

This often means you need to click on the Outbox, then either move all the
messages there to your Drafts folder or delete them. If any refuse to do
either, 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.

It may or may not delete the messages causing problems, but should at
least make it possible for you to delete them.

Messages may be stuck in the Outbox when you use Windows Mail on a computer
that is running Windows Vista
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/941090
It also works on other folders.

If you cn't delete that stuck message in the outbox,
you should try Steve's new edition of WMUtil:
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.

I cant send email because my Outbox has a message that "message could not be
sent. An error has occurred". What can I do to purge this email in order to
send messags?

This is a great liitle program, it cleared my outbox from this unclearable
message and I was able to send messages after that.

Have you made sure that Windows Mail has been stopped?


If Windows Mail is open, or if a current WinMail.exe process is running, the
Database functions are disabled, and the WinMail.exe process must be
terminated before these features can become available. (If WinMail is closed
and these buttons still remain disabled, then perform a CTRL-SHIFT-ESC, and
under Processes find WinMail.exe and click on it, and then click the End
Process button.)

Its not clear what is causing this to happen. Turn off email scanning at
the very least and if you have McAfee or Norton, get rid of them.

new laptop with Vista from Hell AND have an outgoing email that I CANNOT
delete..
Please tell me this works as I cannot get hold of Microsoft til Monday and
that is 3 days without getting or sending emails...

Help!!!

Yes. <G>

Installing Vista SP1 or SP2 will fix it completely.
