Messages stuck in Outbox

Can anyone help? I've was using my email sending & receiving quite happily
last night when it decided to stop sending emails! They are all building up
in my outbox. How can I move them on? The first email in my outbox has the
message "Windows mail encountered an unexpected problem" My disk space and
memory is fine. I know there is nothing we can do with this unexpected
problem email but can anyone help resolve outbox issue?

Re: Messages stuck in Outbox

You need to either update to Vista SP1
(http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Win...svistasp1.mspx) or
install this patch (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/941090).
Either will fix the issue.

Re: Messages stuck in Outbox

Hello Jules I had the same problem I just finally found the solution,

http://msmvps.com/blogs/spywaresucks...03/888169.aspx

basically you need to download a program called WMUtil
http://www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/

You need to close windows mail before running the program otherwise it won't
work,
let me know, it worked fine for me,

Good luck
Eric
