Vista - message stuck in outbox

Gary - I was talking about the .dll file in WMUtil. But I did get it open
when I clicked on the other file included in the zip file. So I have done
that (thanks)

You were right - I did mean that Yahoo emails were no longer showing up
there when they went to Windows Mail. Thanks so much for that fix. I did
change the Properties to leaving a copy on the server so now I can get those.

GUESS WHAT I FIGURED OUT WHAT TO DO WHEN The messages in my Outbox won't
send and here are the two messages I receive when trying to send:

The connection to the server has failed. Subject 'yoohoo', Account:
'pop.mail.yahoo.com', Server: 'smtp.mail.yahoo.com', Protocol: SMTP, Port:
25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10060, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E

Account: 'pop.mail.yahoo.com', Server: 'pop.mail.yahoo.com', Protocol: POP3,
Server Response: '-ERR popgate unknown command', Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No,
Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC18

I needed to change the Ports to (outgoing) 995 & 465 like on the Yahoo
account & click that it does need a secure setting for both in and outgoing.
(aren't you proud of me for figuring that out? ;-)

There is one question I can't figure out the answer to. There are 1000
messages in my Window Mail that were taken off the Yahoo server and I would
like them to go back. Is there anyway to do that as a group? I tried the
export button and it made an .iaf file, but that I think that only exported a
list of files not the emails themselves.

Thanks so much for your input...

You are a life saver, you know?

Sorry, there is no automated or mass method for returning messages to
the server. It can be done with IMAP accounts, but Yahoo doesn't offer
the IMAP protocol.

I started this thread about two years ago and have since solved the
problem...somewhat. I set up a gmail account just for this and use that as
my smtp for outgoing mail. My regular ISP is my incoming account. For the
most part I have had no trouble. Occasionally I see things getting stuck,
but that may be more a function of my computer itself, which is six years
old.

Because the outgoing emails are coming from gmail, they will stay in the
sent box in gmail, as well as in my Outlook sent box. I go in every now and
then and clean out the gmail outbox, since I already have them saved in
outlook.

Hi Gary....I have a problem where I have a message in my Draft File that is
highlighted in red (apparently a suspected problem noted by Norton
Anti-virus) and whenever I open my Draft File, my Windows Mail stops working
and usually restarts. I would like to delete the file but cannot because the
program stops as soon as I open the Draft File.

I tried the download suggested for my 32 bit Vista and was told that it was
"inappropriate"....I assume that perhaps the program is already there but not
sure.

Is this different from the problem with the Outbox issues that people are
talking about. Any help is appreciated.

That issue is not related to the 'message stuck in Outbox' problem.
Your basic problem is that you're allowing Norton antivirus to
interact with your email program. That's a big no-no, see

http://thundercloud.net/infoave/tuto...ning/index.htm

As a minimum, email scanning in the antivirus should be turned off,
although that may not be sufficient to eliminate all bad effects.
In a worst case scenario, your antivirus may need to be uninstalled.

If turning off the email scanning function does not resolve your problem,
do a trial uninstall of your antivirus. If no improvement, you can
always reinstall it. Instead of uninstalling your antivirus, consider
upgrading to Windows Live Mail, because it is less prone to
suffering bad effects from overly aggressive antivirus programs.

Open WM then on the file menu, select work offline.

On the view menu select Layout>and disable preview pane.

Go to the Drafts folder and delete the message.

Any message that is in your Drafts Folder, you put it there!
