i managed to get the email deleted using a method you suggested elswhere
Gary.
i lost the page, i was going to post that here.
it involved going to search>advanced search> check box for all non indexed
items and delete the 2 files that pop up from there ( sorry i accidently
closed the window and am unsure where that post was)
no i am getting this message:
The message could not be sent. The authentication setting might not be
correct for your outgoing e-mail [SMTP] server. For help solving this
problem, go to Help, search for "Troubleshoot Windows Mail", and read the
"I'm having problems sending e-mail" section. If you need help determining
the proper server settings, please contact your e-mail service provider.
The rejected e-mail address was '(e-mail address removed)'.
