Vista - unsent messages

everytime i close my mail, i get a message--you have unsent messages in your
outbox, would you like to sent them now---but i don't have any outgoing
messages to send. please help.

Go to the Outbox and View | Current View | Show all messages and see if
there is a message there then that you can delete.

Steve,

I am getting the same message and when I go to my outbox that has 4 unsent
messages one of them will not delete due to an error problem message.
The others will delete. Nothing can be sent out at this point. Any thoughts?

Try this first so you don't have to wipe the entire message store.

Go to Tools | Accounts | Add | Mail and add your same mail account over
again. Then remove the first mail account and close and reopen WinMail and
see if you can delete that message then. Some others reported that would
get rid of the message.

If that doesn't work then post back.

As of a week ago, I started getting this message, and, sure enough, I did
have outgoing messages piling up in my box. Of course, I had to start sending
the same messages via online mail but would appreciate if I could get this
cleared up. In MSXP, when I got the message, if I went into TOOLS and checked
the volume for errors, this would resolve the problem and things would go
back to normal. This is not the case here. It happened right after an update
installation. Any clues?

Good to see you took the initiative of sending your emails via web mail.
There is no permanent fix yet.
The only consolation is that Microsoft is working on the problem.

Yes, me too -- Messages that won't send no matter what I try. My husband and
I have identical computers. Mine is set exactly as his is. His sends
outgoing mail. Mine doesn't. Go figure. What's the fix?
