I have Vista and cannot send pix from my e-mail. I can delete the stuck
message but need to know how to download and install a new program that works.

Outlook Express can not be installed in Vista.
Installing Outlook Express was not one of my suggestions.
Please reread my suggestions below.
Those suggestions were written a few weeks ago, and since then
there have been two new developments that affect this issue:

1. Steve Cochran has released a utility program that will remove
a stuck message from the Outbox:
Go to http://www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/
When you start to download the wmutil.zip file,
be sure to choose Save rather than Run.
After it finishes downloading choose Run, then Extract. Then it will
show the extraction folder with two files in it, WMUtil.exe and scxout.dll.
Run WMUtil.exe, wait until the buttons become active, then click on
Clear Outbox. It may take a while. Before you start, make sure
Windows Mail is not running.

2. Microsoft has announced that they will release a new email
program later this month. If you can wait a few weeks, I'd suggest
holding out for that. Or else, if you can't wait, download and install
the Thunderbird email program.

Welcome to the club!

There are a few workarounds floating around, but several people
have reported severe corruption of their message store afterwards,
so I don't recommend the current crop of workarounds.

If you really can't send with Windows Mail due to the stuck message
in the Outbox, then either send that message with web mail, or else
install another email program like Thunderbird or Microsoft Outlook.

When I try to delete the 1st message in the OUTBOX that seems to be holding
up the sending of subsequent messages, I get a message "Unknown error has
occurred". Then another box drops down with the message "Deleting messages"
but none get deleted.

have the same problem I don't think I'm opening my account properly do I
sign in with my msn account e-mail address. and follow throught as if I were
getting mail in and out through msn?

Do you get an error message when you try to send? If so,
right-click on your error message, copy, then paste it into a reply here.
We can't do much troubleshooting without the complete error message.

[Are you a pederast or what? eg Say goodnight, mac.]

Back in 2007, I had this issue and I am intrigued that this post has gone on
for more than two years. I also noticed that you were part of the discussion
in 2007.

As such I have since solved my problems with this and I wonder if there is a
way that you can get the word out in broadcasting way.

Someone suggested that I set up a gmail account. I did so just for this and
use that as my smtp for outgoing mail. My regular ISP is my incoming account.
For the most part I have had no trouble. Occasionally I see things getting
stuck,
but that may be more a function of my computer itself, which is six years
old.

Because the outgoing emails are really coming out of gmail, they will stay
in the
sent box in gmail, as well as in my Outlook sent box. I go in every now and
then and clean out the gmail outbox, since I already have them saved in
outlook.

Hope that helps.

Is there anything in the Outbox folder?

Kindly turn on your spell checker.

The problem is that many people respond to threads instead of creating new
threads. That is the cause, or partial cause of the recent activity in this
thread.
