Outbox not visible and unsent mail hidden there

I have unsent mail with incorrect email address hidden in the outbox which is not visible in windows live mail. Running XP MCE 2008 with a Vista shell pack.

Anyone with ideas as how I clear this as the error message about unsent mail pops up at every close of Windows live mail?

Go to the Outbox folder in Windows Explorer and delete the message.
Tools, Options, Advanced, Maintenance, Store Folder button.

When you select the Outbox folder, then make sure that View, Current
View, Show All Messages is selected.

Ditto to Ron's suggestion on accessing via Windows Explorer and deleting the message.

Since you are using Vista, and to ensure you delete the correct file, see this for showing the Message subject in Explorer.
