Email not sending

What is the fix - I am having the same problem my email sits in the outbox.

For a temporary fix, download and install this with Windows Mail not
running:

It's labelled as for mail stuck in the Outbox, but 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.

If you have one of the antivirus programs listed below, though,
you'll need to uninstall it, not just disable it, for a permanent fix.
You may even need to do more cleanup. For many other
antivirus programs, just leaving email scanning disabled is
enough.

Also, it sometimes helps to click on Tools, then Options, then
Send. If there is no check mark in the box before Send messages
immediately, click on this box and then Apply. Click on OK.

Email scanning should be turned off in any anti-virus. Also exclude EML
files from the scan. It provides no
protection not provided by the regular resident protection.
Besides that, McAfee and Norton are not compatible with Windows Mail and
Outlook Express and should be uninstalled. The latest version of Trend's
anti-virus seems to be causing problems too.

To offer much help, we often need to see the whole error message, not just
a summary of it. See if you can click on it so you can copy it.
