Re: Can't Delete Message in Outbox
Close WinMail and MOVE the whole mail folder.

Open WinMail and let it create a new store.

You can go thru the old messages and drag and drop them into WinMail (not
the folder).

Should solve it till a solution is found out why it does it. Don't think
it's just in Windows Mail but it's also in Windows Live Mail desktop beta as
well. Messages get stuck in the Outbox on it as well.
