Undeletable email, and I get "unknown error has occurred"

[Dan]

This undeletable email is in my outbox, blocking all my other messages trying
to go out, so until this is fixed, I can't send email through normal
channels. What to do?

Microsoft has a fix for that:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/941090
"Messages may be stuck in the Outbox when you use Windows Mail on a
computer that is running Windows Vista"

That page offers two download options. Unless you know for sure
you have 64-bit Vista, use the 32-bit option.

Was there a solution for this ? I have a couple of messages in my inbox,
which can't be deleted. Tells me there was an unknown error. Thanks,
George

Hi-
I am having the same outbox issue (a mesage is stuck and will not allow me
to send mail). I have tried to "validate" my Windows system but am not able
to complete the validation to install the fix. Any suggestions?

Help- I am getting desperate!
Thanks,
Sue

It also works on other folders.

The topic of Vista Windows validation is not covered in this forum.
Try Googling on that topic, or post in the main Vista newsgroup:
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.windows.vista.general.

Alternatively, you can try the 'Clear Outbox' feature of WMUtil:
