Vista - E-mail stuck in inbox

Unfortunately it is rather common around here for threads to get
hijacked. I gave up trying to correct people about that practice.

Go with the flow and live longer.

same here. i have an email stuck in my outbox and it's blocking me from
sending mails. so far i had to reinstall vista more than 4 times, i have so
many problems. the comp will turn off when ever it wants. i've never lost so
much data... not in 19 years of having pc's.

dear reader. if you are thinking of buying vista... wait! it's not worth it
yet.!

Don't assume that your experience is typical.

By reading the posts , I think it is typical for vista, especially using
outlook express, I had the same problem mentioned today among others that I
have posted, as slow reply windows , etc. And the ability to send folder
group emails like you could with outlook and XP has been taken away too.
Windows Mail stinks , but I getting use to vista.

Overall, I personally have only positive experiences with Vista (Home
Premium)! My computer performs much better, is a lot quicker than with XP
Home and is just stable. Only one little prob, one I don't think is a typical
Vista or Windows Mail problem! I also mailed Microsoft about the email that
is stuck in my Inbox. Hopefully someone will know!

Subject: deleting undeleteable mail 3/30/2007 8:45 PM PST

By: DeWitch In: microsoft.public.windows.vista.mail


I had one of those undeletables with the "unknown error" message just a few
minutes ago after just installing the Vista upgrade yesterday - saw a comment
on a Judy having a solution - read it and freaked:{
What a lot of work - so this mail was in a folder of mail that I save - made
a new folder for the mail in this folder moved them all to the new folder and
deleted the folder with the bad email in it - I have mine set so the delete
folder empties when I close the program - closed the program - opened it back
up - no more bad mail

So far I think I have read many, many posts re "an unknown error has
occured", and as many answers. Two things seem in common; new Dell
computers, and E=mails that are not deletable. . .seems to me Windows Mail
has a problem that should be universally corrected, by them not us. . .

It has nothing to do with Dell computers. Dell happens to be a
very popular brand. My only occurrence of a stuck email
happened on a HP laptop.
