Message stuck in outbox

I have a message stuck in my Windows Mail outbox that has the following
message:
Message could not be displayed
Windows Mail encountered an unexpected problem while displaying this
message. Check your computer for low memory or low disk space and try again.
I cannot delete this message and it is blockingall other mail from sending.
I have checked the performance of the computer and all seems to be fine.

I am experiencing the exact same problems you have mentioned in your posting.
I have not been able to find a solution until now. Does anyone know if there
are any counter measures that can be taken to rectify this issue. Your advice
is highly appreciated.

Messages may be stuck in the Outbox when you use Windows Mail on a computer
that is running Windows Vista
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/941090
It also works on other folders.

Hello MissyL and Adel,

This will help show you how to fix the stuck undeletable email message
problem in Windows Mail for all folders.

Installing the Microsoft KB941090 update will just fix the problem for
now. You must stop the cause to prevent it from happening again. Read
the section titled "FIRST" in this tutorial about antivirus and security
programs to help prevent this from happening again, then install the
KB941090 Microsoft Update in the section titled "SECOND" to fix and be
able to delete the stuck message from the problem folder.

As I had said before but my post was mainly ignored - the way to get rid of a
message that is "stuck" in a particular folder is to move all the messages
you want to keep into another folder and then delete the folder the "stuck"
message is in - it works every time.

Wrote that way back when I first tried the Vista "upgrade" that I received
for my new PC that came with XP (early 2007) - went back to XP after about 3
days of Vista nonsense. But here I am back in Vista again since recently had
a problem with the PC and could not get the reformat to XP to work - could
only start it with the Vista upgrade disk - I have not given up trying to get
my beleoved XP back though.

As I wrote before, you seem to be replying to a rather old message,
one written before the current fix for such problems became available:

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

The Vista SP1 update is an alternate fix, but takes longer to install.

Windows Mail is unlikely to allow you to delete any of its default
filders, such as the Outbox, even if it allows you to delete folders
you told it to add.

Oh well, it works for me and I am getting rid of the dreaded vista as soon as
possible so don't want any more "fixes" to add
