There were a number of updates yestersday and now I can't send out mail. I
now seem to have mail that cannot be deleted in my outbox. The mail itself
seems to be corrupted in some way as when I try to view it, I get the
following message:-


Message could not be displayed
Windows Mail encountered an unexpected problem while displaying this
message. Check your computer for low memory or low disk space and try again.

When I try to delete it, I get a pop up that says... 'An unknown error has
occurred'


I'm unable to display the properties of the mail.

I sense that if I can delete this file, then it will be fixed, can anyone
help?

A fix as been released by M$ to resolve the problem of undeletable mails:

"Messages may be stuck in the Outbox when you use Windows Mail on a computer
that is running Windows Vista"

**It works for all folders.**
