There are lots of ESENT errors in the event log. The message does not show
up in Windows Explorer Outbox folder. There are a couple of files in there
that I sent to the recycle bin but neither removed the mail from my Windows
Mail Outbox so I restored them (don't know what they are). So, the message
is still sitting in the outbox.
BTW. I really like the new search function. It helped me find the outbox
folder and the event logs quickly.
