RE: I have a message stuck in my outbox with error cannot be deleted

I've seen this before on regular Outlook. Go to "Outbox" where the email is,
right click on it and "mark as unread" then hit "send/receive" right away.
Good luck.

If you see the problem under Windows Mail, 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.

Sorry, but you may need to find a friend more familiar with
computers to do this for you.

RE: I have a message stuck in my outbox with error cannot be delet

I just tried doing that but it the "mark as unread" isn't highlighted. It
won't let me use that.

It says I can't delete it either. omg, computer nightmare.

Thanks for trying to help me though. Much apprecatied.
