i have one message in my outbox that i cannot delete. I keep getting unknow

is very annoying that microsoft is not doing anything about this problem.

Teri,

I and several other people have had the same problem. Go to

www.oehelp.com/wmutil

and download Steve Cochran's utility. Use the utility (after unzipping) and
compact your e-mail and the problem will go away. It did for me. Then
compact your e-mail every time you get the dialog box asking if you want to
compact your e-mail.

Good luck.

Teri,

Do you have your system backed up to an external hard drive or elsewhere?

Here is what I did. I restored, Windows Mail only, to a date that Windows
Mail was working properly. Then I used Steve's utility ( go to
www.oehelp.com/wmutil) to compact my
e-mail. Plus I compact my e-mail every time the dialog box appears.

Hopefully this helps.

I too have this problem and have tried to delete, resend to different
address, and it won't move. My Dell connect contract expired 6/27 and am not
prepared to buy 3 incidents help for $110.

Download and install this fix, 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 to use the 32-bit version or
the 64-bit version, try the 32-bit version first. Certain common
antivirus programs, such as most of those from Norton or McAfee,
or a recent one from Trend, often cause such problems, although
seldom immediately, so if you have such a program, remember
where to find the fix - you are likely to need it again.

teri. I had the same problem and found a solution. It is a download from
MicroSoft. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/941090. Good luck to you. Chuck

Are you a Navy brat? What's the chance you graduated from Mary Carroll High
School? MANY changes over the years. I can hope to find my friend, can't I?

I know Teri is a common spelling now, but it didn't used to be.

Stay safe, and may God bless. I wish you His peace.

P.S. Moderator- KN 941090 worked REAL well. Thanks!
