I cannot send mail out on my windows mail. When I hit reply or send, it goes
straight to my outbox where it takes up residence. My server says it is
because the email settings are "SSL" and they (the server) are "POP3"
whatever all that means. Does anyone know how to fix this? I have Vista.
Lucky me. Plus, I get that goofy pop up box saying I have mail in my outbox,
would I like to send it? Well...yeah....that's the whole point of hitting the
send button. So, I click yes and guess what? It doesn't send it anyway. I'm
not real savy when it comes to computers, but I do know this isn't working
right! Any help out there?

Cut and paste the who message not just your impression of little bits of it.

I have exactly the same problem as you are having nonuthinboutcomps .
Everything was ok on 16 August 2007 but today I just get the emails sitting
in my outbox just as you do. I havent altered any settings in my accounts. I
know what the settings should be and they are all correct. Must be a software
fault perhaps???
Anyone throw any light on the subject?????

I have the same problem, it appears that it's one of the emails that's stuck
in the system.
I was reading the message, left the message open for 'bout an hour, and when
I came back the computer, the message appeared in the out-box. I couldn't
remember having wanted to send a reply, but hey, maybe I did I thought. But
the message is flawed in some way. All future mails I have tried to send just
stack up on top of this first flawed message. I have tried to send myself
some test messages, and the stop in the out-box, but these messages can be
deleted, like they should be, but the first message that is blocking the
drain won't be deleted... what the f...
Help! please....

1. This problem may be caused by running a non-compatible
antivirus program. Windows Mail is not compatible with most
McAfee or Norton security programs. Those will need to be
uninstalled.
Then, at your convenience, install a more compatible antivirus
like the free Avast:
http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html

2. To correct the damage already done, use the Clear Outbox feature
of the WMUtil program:

Gary,
Thank you for your suggestion. I tried the utility but it had no effect. How
odd it seems that quite a few people are having this problem al of a sudden.
I think the problem goes little deeper..

No, the 'message stuck in the Outbox' problem has existed
since Vista was first released.

Anyway, Sentinel, I addressed your issue earlier.

You say the utility had no effect. Can you elaborate on that?
Did it seem to go through the motions, or was it unresponsive?

What about your antivirus?

Hi Gary,
Yes I used the WMUtil and it said it cleared 1 file. I ran it again just now
and it says 0 files cleared. I still have an email in my outbox that i cant
get rid of.... If I try and delete the email, I get an unknown error message
popup..
I already use avast as my virus checker, but switched it off just this
moment to see if it would help matters but it hasnt...

Strange one this...
