Vista - message stuck in outbox

The same problem occurred to me today. I found the solution here. After
installing KB941090 I was able to delete the mail from outbox.

HI Gary I still have mail stuck in my out box this is my error message:
Socket Error: 10060 , Port: 25, Protocol: SMTP.A connection attempt failed
because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time,
or established connection failed because connected host has failed to
respond. Hope you can help.

That doesn't look like a complete error message, and we often need parts
of it you wouldn't expect to offer much help.

Does your connection to that server cross over from one internet provider's
equipment to another's before it reaches the server? If so, such
connections
to port 25 are often blocked to cause problems for spammers. In this case,
you should ask windstream.net if their outgoing email server listens for
outgoing mail on any port other than port 25, and if so, the details of how
to
switch to the other port. Just trying all the ports is a very slow way to
find
out - there are about 65,000 ports available.

Hi Pegster,

See if this will help you 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.

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 you have a 32-bit version
of Vista or a 64-bit version, try the hotfix for the 32-bit version first.
Certain common antivirus programs, such as most of those from
Norton or McAfee, tend to cause this and other problems in
Windows Mail, although seldom immediately, so if you have such a
program, remember where to find the hotfix, and hope it will install
again if you need it again. A recent version of the Trend antivirus
program also causes assorted problems in Windows Mail.
