Can't send mail or delete message in outlook

#1 (**permalink**) 07-01-2008

I can receive but not send email. The first message in outlook not to be
sent has been replaced by an "unknown error" mail message. I'm unable to
delete or move this message. Any ideas?

Outlook? We don't normally support Outlook issues in this newsgroup.
Try microsoft.public.outlook.general.

I am having this issue with Windows Mail.

I cannot delete an outgoing message from my outbox. I have tried everything
and it keeps giving me an error. Please help.

If you need help with Outlook, you're more likely to get it if you ask
in a newsgroup meant for Outlook, such as:

microsoft.public.outlook.general

Mention which version of Outlook you are using, and that you are
using it under Vista, in case it matters.
