    Hung Message in Outbox

    I have a message that is hung up in my Windows Mail Outbox. I can't send it,
    move it, or delete it...not even in safe mode. Can someone offer a solution
    to this? It's driving me crazy. You may email me here: tealcat@xxxxxx

    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, 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.

    This should unstick the message but you may still have to delete it.

    The people in this newsgroup who provide the most answers seldom
    reply by email.

    Thank you very much. After installing the update, I was able to delete the
    message. Just for the sale of information, this update is for Windows Vista
    according to the website's info. Again, thanks.
