Re: Can't Delete Message in Outbox
I did what you suggested and low and behold the message doesn't even show up
with the other messages in that location! Of course when I open Windows Mail
up again in the hopes it is now miraculously gone it is still there. It is
evil I tell you. EVIL! ;-) I just don't know what to do. I haven't been
able to send mail now for ten days and I'm getting desperate here.

Any other ideas?
