Vista - Simple Fix for Messages stuck in Outbox

I have had messages stuck in my outbox in Vista Home Premium/Windows Mail for
a few days with no content, this somehow prevented my from being . I kept
getting error messages when I tried to delete or move them. Microsoft didn't
want to help me unless I paid their ransom of $50 because my version of Vista
came with my Dell computer. Had I bought the program at a retailer, they
will help me for 90 days. Whatever. Dell has been awesome and they finally
gave me the simplest solution of all(I have read some of the solutions here
and copying and saving all of the emails, deleting Windows Mail and
reinstalling Windows mail and then importing the emails back in was daunting
and confusing to say the least). The solution was to go to
www.oehelp.com/wmutil/ and download the program, unzip it and run it. It
automatically detected the bogus emails in my outbox, deleted them and
repaired the program. Now those stuck emails are gone and I'm back in
business, able to send emails no problem, without having to do all those
other steps. I hope that this helps someone like it helped me, not being
able to send emails is one of the most frustrating things that can happen to
a person!
Peace!

Thanks dude !! I have the retail version and the solution they give is the one you described (copying
and saving all of the emails, deleting Windows Mail and
> reinstalling Windows mail and then importing the emails back )... It happened to me at least 5 times
> since I installed Vista 2 months ago !!! Geez that OS is buggy....

I never had any problem with Outlook Express in XP pro for 5 years.... Now they release Windows Mails,
that should be better (sic) and it's buggy and they don't release any fix !

Well Whoopybloodydoooooooo
How gracious of Dell..
The utility has been posted down numerous times every day..
It was very kindly written by... Stephen L. Cochran, Ph.D., MS-MVP
Maybe Dell should make a donation to DR Cochran.... instead of them getting
all the credit for his work!

Somehow I missed your utility posted on here "every day". You are my hero
Steve, that's awesome that I get to thank you personally, you saved me a huge
headache. I guess Ozzie is a Dell hater, they've been nothing but helpful
and patient with my dumb ass and all my questions about Vista, so I can't
join in on that one.

You mis-read my Question. I said that the OEM/MUL software DID NOT work for
messages in the "IN BOX" !!!!
