Well, I got a stuck message in my outbox.
When I tried to open it, it show "message could not be display".
When I tried to delete it, it show "an unknown error has occur".
When I tried to move it, it show "an unknown error has occur".

When I used option, maintenance, to delete message, it is still there.

I think its a Microsoft bug. Any solution, except to reload the entire
Vista?
 
Yes, its a bug and here's the fix:

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

It works on other folders in addition to the Outbox.

Not heard of that one occurring, just check your settings at View>Current
view, ensure that 'hide read messages is not selected.

For each folder, click on the folder, then View, then Current View, then
Show All Messages. If they're only hidden because they're already read
that should bring them back.
