message stuck in outbox
Are you talking about the Windows Mail program? It doesn't have profiles.
How do you normally send and receive emails? What have you changed that your former method (webmail?) is no longer satisfactory? Gary VanderMolen, Microsoft MVP (Mail) "mikeskoda" wrote in message ... I don't see any profile button to click on to fill out my profile. Please help! I also get messages that POP is not working. how do I get that on my computer, or get some other outgoing system? Janette |

message stuck in outbox
Gary, I clicked on the link below and it took me to a page. On that page I
clicked the link to download the 32 bit version. It took me to a page and I could find no way to download anything. Instead it wanted me to validate my computer, which I did. After I did that there was no more link to the original page. I went back and went through the process and got the same page. Again clicked to download the 32 bit version, again no way to start the download but wanting me to validate. I went through the process again. I know I am incredibly ignorant about computers but I don't know where to go from there. Any ideas?

message stuck in outbox
You are referencing a very old post of mine that is no longer relevant.
In the world of computers, conditions change quickly, so there is no point in trying old fixes. If you have an undeletable message that is stuck in the Outbox, try dragging that message to the Deleted Items folder. If no luck, try dragging it directly to the Recycle Bin. Make sure you have installed Vista's SP1 and SP2 updates. If the problem continues, try running the various repair functions in the WMUtil program: http://www.oehelp.com/WMUtil If still no improvement, upgrade to Windows Live Mail: http://download.live.com/wlmail It will automatically import all your WM data.

... I am told i have email messages stuck in my outbox , how can i get them? Check to work offline, open the Outbox and remove them. If you still have issues, try compacting and repairing the database with this tool. WMUtil http://www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/Default.aspx -- ~Bruce |
