I'm a dummy, and I can't send a message until I get this deleted from my
outbox. When I hit delete, it tells me there's an error. I've already turned
the computer off and unattached the modem. Restarted w/out the modem and hit
delete, but it did not help. Help me!
 
All I know is I have Vista home premium I told you I'm a dummy, I was
forwarding the message, and I just want to get rid of it. Please

Microsoft has a fix for that:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/941090
"Messages may be stuck in the Outbox when you use Windows Mail on a
computer that is running Windows Vista"

That page offers two download options. Unless you know for sure
you have 64-bit Vista, use the 32-bit option.

I don't know what else I can do besides pointing you to the instructions
for the official fix. If the instructions seem too difficult for you, perhaps
you can get a computer-savvy friend to help you.

Hi Bjames,

This will fix your stuck undeletable email problem:
Read the "First" section in this tutorial about antivirus programs to
help prevent this from happening again, then install the KB941090
Microsoft Update in the "Second" section to fix the stuck message
problem.

'Windows Mail problems'

Thank you so much!!! This drove me crazy for 2 days. I ended up paying for a
registry fix and adware to no avail. Wish I would have read your post first.
Oh well I am glad it is fixed. Not so sure I like Vista or windows mail at
this point though.
