I found that by hitting your start button,and where it says All Programs,
type in "outbox windows live mail (or mail) whichever you have, and when it
shows up in communications, click delete. It worked for me. It also worked
for all the "error message could not be sent". Good luck.

Download and install this hotfix, with Windows Mail not running:

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 stuck messages 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 problems in Windows Mail.

This may or may not delete the message, but should at least make it
possible for you to do so.

This procedure often results in repeated and endless generation of
'Recovered' folders. Not recommended.

Such problems are often caused by interference from an antivirus program.
What
if any antivirus programs do you have, and have you ever had a Norton or
McAfee
antivirus program installed on that computer?

For a temporary fix, download and install this hotfix, with Windows Mail not
running:

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

Although it's labelled as for messages stuck in the Outbox, it also works in
other
folders.
