Microsoft has issued a fix for the stuck message problem. See:

I have unsent messages in my outbox. I get an error message regarding the
POP3 or something like that. What could the problem be?

We usually need the complete error message, not just a summary of it, to
offer much help. Right click on it and copy it to your next message.

However, if you specified the server name as POP3, that's an invalid
server name, even though it's a valid protocol. In this case, also tell us
which email provider you are trying to use. Many people choose
their internet providers as their email providers also, since most internet
accounts include one or more email accounts.

Dear Gary - well your advice is still being used. I have had problems with
unsent messages and discovered this site and your advice. As a novice in
this "fix-it-myself" game I am very grateful. Problem now fixed. Thanks,
Jaydub

You're very welcome. Glad you found that old post of mine and were
able to use it to fix your problem. However, it is better to consult the latest
posts first, because fixes get updated and replaced by newer ones.

We usually need complete error messages, not just vague summaraies of
them, to offer much help. Right click on your error message and copy
all of it to your next message.

However, what you've written so far suggests that you've used POP3 as
a server name, which is invalid, even though it is a valid protocol.
What email provider are you trying to use? Many people choose to use
their internet provider as their email provider also, since most internet
accounts include one or more email accounts.

Glad it worked out for you. However, if the same problem
happens again, I recommend you switch to Windows Live Mail.

What do I do to gert rid of unsent messages

 

[Gary VanderMolen]

Open the Outbox folder. Delete the messages.
Let us know if you get an error message.

That type of error is often caused by interference from a non-
compatible antivirus program. Which antivirus are you running?
As a minimum, email scanning in the antivirus must be turned off,
although that may not be sufficient to eliminate all bad effects.
For more information on why email scanning is bad, see

Knowing what we know about Trend Micro, that is not likely to fix the problem.
