Unsent messages

[Guest]

OK I'm finally out of ideas and would love some help here. Windows mail again
is saying I've unsent messages in the outbox and it will not send them. I've
set up new email account, downloaded utility from Steve and Gary, Deleted all
outbox messages and still nothing happening! Ideas solutions, please

I have had the same problems. I can't even use my Yahoo mail account either.
I had a Geek Squad person come out and was told that I wasn't online. I could
receive e-mail but not send. I deleted what ever I could delete. I also have
a wireless connection as my computer is just two months old. I am very
disgusted with the whole thing. The Geek man told me that I wasn't online. He
adjusted my lines and rebooted and lo and behold, it started working. That
was one week ago. Today I am having the same problems.

It's hard to tell from your description but I assume you have a
message stuck in the Outbox which you are not able to delete.
You can use Microsoft's new fix for that problem:

Click on Tools, then Accounts, then your email account, then Properties If
there's
no check mark in the box before Include this account when receiving mail or
synchronizing, click on this box and then Apply. Click on OK and then
Close.

Click on Tools, then Options, then Send. If there's no check mark in the
box
before Send messages immediately, click on this box and then Apply. Click
on OK.

I applied the fix 941090 and when I went to delete the message that has hung
up my Outbox I got the message "Message could not be displayed." When I
actually hit "delete" the message "An unknown error has occurred." I still
cannot send email--all messages are stopped in the Outbox. I have had this
problem for four months now. I upgraded from Home Basic to Home Premium,
hoping this would help. It did nothing. HELP!

Did you try both the 32-bit version and the 64-bit version of fix 941090?

What if any antivirus programs do you have? Some of them cause such
problems, although seldom immediately.

We could have told you that upgrading Vista would have no effect.
But I would advise you to upgrade Windows Mail to Windows
Live Mail (it's free):
http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview

Gary, thanks so much. I did download and install Windows Live Mail, and have
received and sent emails. So I am no longer locked up in the Outbox.

When I opened Live Mail, I had not only current mail, but 12 messages from
July and August that were deleted long ago (I thought). But things have
definitely improved. Let's hope it last.

Glad to hear of your positive experience with the WLM upgrade.

What if any antivirus programs do you have? Some of them need to be
uninstalled (not just disabled) to stop them from causing problems in
Windows Mail (although the problems seldom show up immediately).

What is the full error message you get if any when you try to send mail?

 

[Joy Ruhlen]

everything i read on hear to fix windows emails but i still can't send HELP
