email blocked in "sending", cannot send anymore

Posted: 08-24-2007, 12:50 PM
I have an email in "to be sent " email folder which is blocking me from
sending the rest of my emails.

I cannot delete or move this email. It says: "message could not be sent -
mistake occured"

How do I get rid of it ?

That sounds like a message stuck in outbox.

This utility http://www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/Default.aspx will clear
the outbox IF you follow all the instructions.

Following that, M$ have a hot fix http://support.microsoft.com/kb/941090

Thirdly... if you are a Norton of McAfee antivirus victim you
are strongly advised to escape current and future vulnerability
uninstalling it entirely and using a free Vista/Windows Mail
alternative such as Vast.

Hello and thank you for your kind answer.

Why am I asked to contact Microsoft to be able to download the patch ?,

The patch hasn't been thoroughly tested, so Microsoft wants to
limit distribution of that patch.

Whenever you update your computer there's an element risk in that
you could introduce new problems therefore when it comes to a new
fix rather than imposing it on all users, many of whom might not even be
experiencing the particular problem, the risk can be minimised and the
support maximised by focusing on specific users.

Also asking for a Hotfix is like entering into a contract whereby you
accept a degree responsibility having been warned that the solution
is still in development.

BTW Vast should read Avast http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html

Try UMutil first and if it works ok don't worry about risking the hotfix.

I have a message in my "sent" folder and cannot move it or delete it. Can
you help in simple terms or should I just delete my "microsoft" mail and go
to another mail
program.
