Download and install this fix, with Windows Mail not running:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/941090

Although it's labelled as for mail stuck in the Outbox, it also works in
other folders. If you don't know whether to use the 32-bit version or
the 64-bit version, try the 32-bit version first. Certain common
antivirus programs, such as most of those from Norton or McAfee,
or a recent one from Trend, tend to cause such problems, although
seldom immediately, so if you have such a program, remember
where to find the fix - you are likely to need it again.

Hi Filip,

This will help show you how to fix the stuck undeletable email message
problem.

Installing the KB941090 update will just fix the problem for now. You
must stop the cause to prevent it from happening again. Read the section
titled "FIRST" in this tutorial about antivirus and anti-spyware/adware
programs to help prevent this from happening again, then install the
KB941090 Microsoft Update in the section titled "SECOND" to fix and be
able to delete the stuck message from the problem folder.

Have a great day,
Shawn

Hi DianeG,

See if this can help you how fix the stuck undeletable email message problem.

Installing the KB941090 update will just fix the problem for now. You must stop the cause to prevent it from happening again. Read the section titled "FIRST" in this tutorial about antivirus and anti-spyware/adware programs to help prevent this from happening again, then install the KB941090 Microsoft Update in the section titled "SECOND" to fix and be able to delete the stuck message from the problem folder.

Re: message stuck in outbox

You probably need the 32-bit version of the fix, then, but also try the
64-bit version just in case. The wrong one will just refuse to install.

What if any antivirus programs do you have? Some of them cause such
problems.

Windows Mail doesn't use .dbx files. It stores mail in .eml files, but also
uses a few more extensions for such things as the index files.

Re: message stuck in outbox

I also have message stuck in my out box.I have downloaded 941090 both the
32bit and the 64bit and when I try to run either one i get a pop-up saying
that the updates does not apply to my system. I also cannot send and receive
mail through windows mail. When i click on the tab to send or receive mail I
get an error message stating that the pop3 server could not be found. I check
the server and it was still there. Any ideas?

Hi Jeff,

Can you post a copy of the error message that you are receiving? It sounds like you may have your POP3 server information entered incorrectly in the account settings.

Right-click on the error message, copy, then paste it into a reply here.
