Are you sure you downloaded and unzipped it properly
and ran it from the folder that includes the scxout.dll ?

I am having the same problem as confused and mamasita (there are files I
can't delete from the outbox in Microsoft Mail).

I have downloaded, unzipped and run the file you mentioned, running the
executable file from the same directory as scxout.dll, the dynamic link
library.

I still can't remove that one file from my outbox after having used the
wmutil utility to supposedly clear the files.

Why on earth didn't Microsoft just stick with Outlook Express, which I have
used for years with no trouble?

If it was any other OS manufacturer, they'd be laughed out of business for
shipping crap like this. I was inflicted with Microsoft Mail as part of the
standard Vista Home Premium OS which came with my new Dell laptop.

You can bet whatever parts of your anatomy are dearest to you that I'm going
to mention this problem to Dell. This situation passed ridiculous a long
time ago.

Why can't Microsoft ship working software?

There's no such thing as "Microsoft Mail."

Why not?
Help us help you by describing the symptoms.
What error message do you get?

I don't know. Have you asked them?

Your use of inaccurate terms such as "Microsoft Mail" tends to undermine
any confidence in any other of your statements.

You are not helping anyone by ranting at innocent bystanders.

Have you ever written software?

Note.
Your persistent use of inaccuracies such as "Microsoft Mail"
show just how easy it is to ship piss poor code.

Pardon me. "Windows Mail." I feel all better about my Outbox being frozen
now that I've been properly admonished.

That was precisely the problem - I didn't get an error message. Just the
same old same old.

That last file in the Outbox finally cleared, I assume that the utility
cleared it.

And your nitpicking attitude undermines my confidence in you. Go "help"
someone else.

Yes, actually. For pay and everything. In the pharmaceitical industry,
where the sort of malfunctions I've been coping from "Windows Mail" with
would have been cause for an FDA investigation, fines and possible withdrawal
of marketing authorization of whatever product whose safety and efficacy my
code was documenting,

We have this thing in the Pharma information processing community known as
"peer review and validation prior to code lock."

Not ranting at you specifically, but MS ought to either try it or if they do
use such a process (not really evident from the sort of errors MS is famous
for until about "Service Pack 2" or so of their OSes) refine their checklists
to trap and isolate errors of the sort which require third-party tools to
correct a fundamental operating deficiency which corrupts user databases and
causes loss and/or corruption of stored data.

Their current process undermines confidence in their product and makes it
completely understandable why corporate IS managers want to wait until at
least the first Service Pack release before inflicting Vista on their
company's decision support process and other applications for new OSes.

It does no such thing.

"Shipping piss poor code," as you put it - and I won't dispute the accuracy
of the term - shows just how deficient Microsoft's internal policies for
quality control are.

It's a sign of vast indifference to the customer that Microsoft leaves
correction of fundamental problems such as loss of data in an Email program
to third parties rather than undertaking the correction itself.

It's ironic that Microsoft is threatening to sue the open-source community
for patent infringements (signifying that the open source community is
swiping important ideas from Redmond) on one hand and adopting that
commuity's methods for maintaining its code on the other.

Hi Julian,
I think I did all the right things. When I try to run it from the scxout
(which is DLL File) it tells me to choose wich program to run it with,
apparently I don't have the required one, so I have to choose from the
avaiable ones, and I have no idea which one to choose. I chose internet
explorer just to choose something, but it doesn't run it. Also scxout doens't
have .dll next to it. Does it matter? Should I delete and start over? Please
use simple languafe because as you can tell I don't know much about this.
Thanks

Enjoy Life!!!

I don't know what you mean by...
"When I try to run it from the scxout"

When you download and unzip wmutil you should get two two files.
1. scxout.dll
2. wmutil.exe

Make sure they are both in the same folder and then click
on wmutil.exe to execute.

Download the utility again and have another go.
