Messages may be stuck in the Outbox when you use Windows Mail on a computer
that is running Windows Vista. (Applies to other folders as well).

Hi cornpatchguy,

This will help show you how to fix the stuck undeletable email message problem in Windows Mail for all folders.

The KB941090 update will just fix the problem for now. You must stop the cause to prevent it from happening again. Read the "First" section in this tutorial about antivirus programs to help prevent this from happening again, then install the KB941090 Microsoft Update in the "Second" section to fix the stuck message problem.

RE: unable to delete messages in my out mail

I have read a number of the messages. My delete key just stopped working.
It takes a lot of time to move everything that one wants to eleete to a
special folder. All I want is for the key to work. Microsoft should develop
a fix since so many of us have a problem.

Re: unable to delete messages in my out mail

Your problem description is not very clear. Does the Delete key not
work in *any* Windows program, or just in Windows Mail? If the latter,
use this Microsoft fix.

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/941090

Although it only mentions 'outbox', it works for all mail folders.
