Vista Tutorial - Still cannot send email out

I'm still unable to send messages out, I can receive, but I can't send out,
they get stuck in my outbox and when I select send/receive option, nothing
happens. Recipients are not getting my emails. Please help

Thank you

For a stuck message in the outbox, use the Clear Outbox function
of WMUtil: http://www.oehelp.com/WMUtil

Check with your ISP that you have the correct settings for the outgoing
(SMTP) server port (Tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties | Advanced).

Hi AK,

Did you look in Task Manager and clicked "End process" for "winmail.exe" first?

Shawn

Disable your antivirus software and try it again. Also try the compact and
repair buttons first.

I did disable the antivirus sotware.. it did not work. and I had tried all
other buttons including compact and repair as well as clean files. all other
buttons work the clear outbox button is still giving me the same error
message..
I was on the phone with gateway for 2 hours last night and got nowhere.
They did have me go into task manager and end program on winmail.exe. It did
not help. They could not help me.. neither could microsoft... they did not
want to talk to me since my software was pre-installed at gateway. Best buys
"geek squad" also tried.. but had no idea how to fix the problem. So.. I
have a brand new computer that I cannot use .. I am very frustrated. Any
other ideas? please let me know

Ak,

Double check the instructions at the link below for Steve's program. If it is the same as what you did, then do the "To Reset Windows Mail" section at the same link.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

If all else fails, you can always replace the email program.

PLEASE HELP!!! I have the same problem and I'm getting extremely annoyed. I
sent two emails last night, one went and the other went to the Outbox and
that's where it stayed. From then on I haven't been able to send any emails,
they all go straight to my Outbox.

Thank you
