Where to Ask

[anon]

I have a problem with Window Mail, well not me but a friend.

They have 2 messages stuck in their outbox which cannot be deleted or moved,
which results in any new messages sticking in the outbox, until the
appliction is restarted.

I have exprienced this before with different versions of Outlook and
usually the Shift/Delete key would work, but unfortunately it doesn't.

If this is not the place to find the answer to this question could someone
point me in the right direction.

Many thanks,

Rob

There's a good Tutorial on Windows Mail problems here:
http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/62560-windows-mail-problems.html?ltr=W and
if you can't figure it out just join the group and post a question.

Rob, take a look at this link from my website:

So MS, instead of upgrading Windows Fail, relies on third party programs
to fix the failures.

Hi John,

Looks like your 4th paragraph is missing a capital T at the beginning.

You forgot to look for missing periods at the end of sentences.

Sheesh.

Yes I did notice them. I just didn't mention it. They aren't as
important as the other.

Quite Right, Terry. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

DDW I am one of those type of people that appreciate people taking the time
to tell me if a problem exists on one of my web pages. Terry has taken that
time and the error has been corrected. Judging by the 'Sheesh' comment at
the bottom of your post I can only assume that you feel it was a waste of
his time, or maybe he was being a little too 'picky'?

As you mentioned the lack of 'periods' you will also find that they too have
been added were necessary.

You're welcome John. I considered the harassment I'd probably get, but
I'd rather make the attempt and let you decide than let it go.

Well the page has now been updated, along with the 'periods' too

It isn't always possible to proof read every single page I create,
especially if I have updated my website(s) with a number of pages in one
evening. It is only through observant visitors that these errors come to my
attention. Thankfully, with the many thousands of visitors a day that visit
my Vista site, I have a good many 'eyes' looking for any 'discrepancies'

Your sharp eyes are much appreciated
