A few weeks ago I sent an email message. After it was
sent, the email is listed as still in the outbox. Every
time I send email, it remains there. (Even thought the
email is in the outbox, I know it was sent, because I
received a reply to it.) If I try to delete it, I get the
following error message, "The messaging interface has
returned an unknown error. If the problem persists,
restart Outlook. OK"

What can I do to clean out this message from my outbox?

Thanks
 
Thanks. I tried your suggestion twice, but the same
message remains in my outbox, even though there is an
indicator that it was sent about two weeks ago. Any
other ideas?

I have been having the exact same problem. The Detect
and Repair seems to have resolved it as I have not had
any more email get hung up since I ran it. It might be
that this one mail is not getting moved. Try deleting
this mail and see if any others get hung up.
