    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?

    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.

    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
