I have this same problem. I do not want to get into deleting whole files and moving things around. One comment that I read here stated that Microsoft was going to have a 'fix' or release later this month. Is that true?
I would be happy to await that release and ignore the message as Steve often notes here if that is the fact. Please advise. Thanks. Pat

No one knows what Microsoft is going to do. They don't tell people ahead of time.
You can mark it as read and then go to View | Current View | Hide read messages and you won't see it.

From the horse's mouth: "More to come. In the coming weeks, Microsoft will introduce an additional e-mail client option for Windows Live Hotmail with the release of Windows Live Mail beta, a free consumer e-mail client available via download that will be a successor to Outlook Express and Windows Mail on Windows Vista."

I give up. It has been a constant stream of Windows Mail issues since purchasing the new computer with VISTA.
I'll use webmail until Windows gets it right.

I have a simple problem. Message that has been moved to another folder appears again in the inbox with no context which means it won't let me delete or move it as there is nothing there. Anybody any ideas????

I used this link (very grateful for this util !) - one helpful hint that I had to work out was to make sure to end the winmail process in the task manager for ALL users running, not just the one I was troubleshooting (there are two on my computer) - otherwise the functions remain greyed out until this is done.

Hi Hammers,
Read the top portion at this link, and do the "Stuck Outbox" section for Steve Cochran's WMUtil program. It will remove it for you.

That's a very old message you are quoting. Much has happened since then. Steve Cochran has developed a fix for the stuck Outbox problem. Download, install and run his WMUtil program: oehelp.com/WMUtil Be sure to read and follow the directions on that download page.
Should you have future problems with Windows Mail, consider upgrading to the replacement email program being offered by Microsoft: get.live.com/en-us/betas/maildesktop_betas

Microsoft has a fix, but they're still testing it, so you have to call and ask. You should not be charged. Messages may be stuck in the Outbox when you use Windows Mail on a computer that is running Windows Vista support.microsoft.com/kb/941090

I am pleased to know that other are in the same boat as myself come on Microsoft get us out of this problem and thanks to Pat for the info MMP

Although it only mentions stuck emails in the outbox, there is some indication that it may work for all stuck emails.
