I have just downloaded a fix from the microsoft download site the link is in
a message further down these posts and it has worked fine and also allows me
to delete messages which would not normally delete

Click on the Outbox, then move any messages you find there to the
Drafts folder or delete them. If any refuse to do either, download and
install this hotfix, 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 you have a 32-bit version of
Vista or a 64-bit version, try the hotfix for the 32-bit version first.
Some common antivirus programs, such as most of those from Norton
or McAfee, tend to cause stuck messages and other problems in
Windows Mail, although seldom immediately, so if you have such a
program, remember where to find the hotfix and hope it will install
again if you need it again. A recent version of the Trend antivirus
program also causes problems in Windows Mail.

The Vista SP1 update includes this hotfix and more, but takes longer
to install.

Well I went to the DL site and downloaded KB941090 from the microsoft DL
site. That was a fix for "unable to delete email" I had that problem before
which the aforementioned fix corrected
however it didnt work for my present problem. In fact it would not instal
this time.. So I still am unable to send mail.

Either fire your incompetent ISP, or else tell them you are using
Outlook Express. Windows Mail uses the same account settings as OE.

When you try to send, is there an error message? If so, right-click on it,
copy, then paste it into a reply here.

By the way, don't assume that your problem is just like someone else's
problem, therefore the same fix ought to work. The experts here will be
glad to give you custom advice for your particular problem, once we
have all the details.

Did you try to install both the 32-bit version and the 64-bit version? At
least
one of them will refuse to install, though. If both refuse to install, also
try
the Vista SP1 update, which includes the hotfix but takes hours longer to
install:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/936330

If that also refuses to install or doesn't fix the problem with undeletable
messages, go back to the KB941090 website and try the WORKAROUND
section.

Contrary to the subject title of this thread, the error message you
submitted means a failure to receive. It is always best to start a new
thread for a new issue.

"Syntax error" often means that a non-compatible antivirus is messing
with Windows Mail. Which antivirus are you running?
