Vista - email blocked in "sending", cannot send anymore

10-03-2007

Try this Microsoft fix:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/941090
"Messages may be stuck in the Outbox when you use Windows Mail on a
computer that is running Windows Vista"

Although Outbox is the only folder mentioned, it will remove stuck
messages from all folders.

Download and install this fix, with Windows Mail not running:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/941090

Although it's labelled as for mail stuck in the Outbox, it also works
in other folders. If you don't know whether to use the 32-bit
version or the 64-bit version, try the 32-bit version first. Certain
common antivirus programs, such as most of those from Norton
or McAfee, or a recent one from Trend, often cause this problem,
although seldom immediately, so remember where to find the
fix since you may need it again.

Download and install this hotfix, with Windows Mail not running:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/941090

Although it's labelled as for mail stuck in the Outbox, it also works in
other folders.

The Vista SP1 update includes this hotfix and more, but takes longer
to install.

The hotfix or update may or may not delete the blocked message,
but at least should make it possible for you to delete it.

If you are using certain antivirus programs, this is only a temporary
fix. What if any antivirus programs do you have, and have you ever
had a Norton or McAfee antivirus program on that computer, even
if it was one of the trial versions that often come already installed
on new computers?
