I have unsent messages in my outbox. I get an error message regarding the
POP3 or something like that. What could the problem be?

Wowwwww!!!!!!!!!!

Has SYMANTEC got a removal tool for WinMail yet? WinMail appears to be much
worse a threat than most viruses. But I understand Norton does not run on
Vista. Maybe that is deliberate.

Norton does run on Vista.

Don't spread unfounded fear and doubt. Norton runs on Vista.
It just so happens that Windows Mail and Norton don't get along with each other.
Nothing new there. Outlook Express did not like Norton or McAfee antivirus either.

See http://www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/
Please read ALL of the instructions.

Norton does run on Vista.

And screws things up, especially WinMail.

When I try to delete the 1st message in the OUTBOX that seems to be holding
up the sending of subsequent messages, I get a message "Unknown error has
occurred". Then another box drops down with the message "Deleting messages"
but none get deleted.

I have the same problem. I sent a message to several people but one of the e
mail addresses was wrong. My message did not go and now I cannot get it
deleted. What do I do? Bernita

Hi Gary

I tried the WMU solution as well but got the message "unable to access
database" when trying to run it. Any thoughts?

Steve Cochran is the author of that utility, and best qualified to
answer that question. He posts in this newsgroup periodically.

Your other option is to get away from that buggy Windows Mail
and upgrade to Windows Live Mail:

Outlook Express can not be installed in Vista.
Installing Outlook Express was not one of my suggestions.
Please reread my suggestions below.
Those suggestions were written a few weeks ago, and since then
there have been two new developments that affect this issue:

1. Steve Cochran has released a utility program that will remove
a stuck message from the Outbox:
Go to http://www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/
When you start to download the wmutil.zip file,
be sure to choose Save rather than Run.
After it finishes downloading choose Run, then Extract. Then it will
show the extraction folder with two files in it, WMUtil.exe and scxout.dll.
Run WMUtil.exe, wait until the buttons become active, then click on
Clear Outbox. It may take a while. Before you start, make sure
Windows Mail is not running.

2. Microsoft has announced that they will release a new email
program later this month. If you can wait a few weeks, I'd suggest
holding out for that. Or else, if you can't wait, download and install
the Thunderbird email program.

Stop shouting, caps lock off, and follow the instructions
in one of the countless identical threads.

is window live mail free?

When you get tired of fighting the Windows Mail gremlins (as I did),
try Windows Live Mail.

There's not much point in either of you telling us you are getting
messages and then not bothering to let us know what the
messages say.. ie. all the codes and diagnostics.

Do you believe in mindreading or somesuch?
