See if the actual file is present in the outbox directory. I suspect its
not and there is a mismatch in the database and you probably can't fix it.

I have an email stuck in the outbox which I cannot delete. Im using Vista
RC2 with Windows Mail. When i choose to delete it, i get "an unknown error
has occurred".

How do i get rid of it?

I'm not sure if it also works in RC2, but in the released version of Vista,
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. 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 assorted problems in Windows Mail.

The Vista SP1 update includes this hotfix and more, but takes longer
to install.
