message stuck in outbox

I have a message stuck in my outbox that cannot be moved or deleted.Now when
I open windows mail it brings up a pop up saying you have one or more
messages in your outbox do not have a valid account specified would you like
to use your default account to send these messages ?I have to click no then
its starts send and receive
I have spoken to my ISP provider they cannot help.Help please its very
annoying and its slowing up the e-mail opperation

Did you ever get a response to your question here?
I have exactly the same problem in Vista64, and it is making Windows Mail a
real nightmare to use, since I need to check Email every few minutes and then
I have to click on 2 separate dialogs to continue to check mail. Sending mail
anytime requires the same gymnastics.

Try Microsoft's fix:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/941090
"Messages may be stuck in the Outbox when you use Windows Mail on a
computer that is running Windows Vista"

That page offers two download options. Unless you know for sure
you have 64-bit Vista, use the 32-bit option.

I've been looking for a solution for MONTHS!! Yours was the
only actual post that worked. Thank you so much for sharing!

try to download, but a window open with: "The update doesn't apply to your
system".
I try to downlaod both 32 and 64. Still doesn't work.

For the undeletable messages, download and install this hotfix, with Windows
Mail not running:

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

Although it's labelled as for mail stuck in the Outbox, it also works in
other folders. If you don't know whether you have a 32-bit version
of Vista or a 64-bit version, try the hotfix for the 32-bit version first.
Certain common antivirus programs, such as most of those from
Norton or McAfee, tend to cause this and other problems in
Windows Mail, although seldom immediately, so if you have such a
program, remember where to find the hotfix, and hope it will install
again if you need it again. A recent version of the Trend antivirus
program also causes assorted problems in Windows Mail.

You may be trying to send a message with a blank subject line, which
some email servers object to.

Also, that server may not be properly recognizing when you have
stopped using some connections to it, and therefore keeping those
connections alive after you stop using them and therefore having
too many active at once.

They were written for Outlook Express, but should also work under
Windows Mail if they don't call for the HTTP protocol.

Does your connection to that server cross over from one internet
provider's equipment to another's before it reaches the server?
If so, such connections to port 25 are often blocked to cause trouble
for spammers.

You might try to move the messages that stay in the Outbox to the
Drafts folder, or delete them. If any refuse to do either, download
and install this hotfix, with Windows Mail not running:

The Vista SP1 update contains this hotfix and more, but takes longer
to install.

The hotfix and update won't necessarily delete that message, but
should at least make it possible for you to delete it.

When I try to send via youcam a video by mail, I have an error message :"one
or more message in your outbox do not have a valid account specified. Would
you like to use your default account to send this message?".
I answer "yes", after an another error window open with :"An unknown error
has occurred. Subject 'none', Account: 'pop.gmail.com', Server:
'smtp.gmail.com', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): Yes, Error Number:
0x800CCC0B".
After I'm stuck...
Thanks

Do you have the Vista SP1 update installed, which includes that update
and more but takes hours longer to install? If so, Vista may be blocking
you from running the same update again, even if you need it, and you may
have to try the WORKAROUND section of the 941090 description.
If not, see here for information on how to get ready to try it.

I tried what you said to do, and it won't work for me! I'm so disgussted
with this email site, I want to go back to my other one at comcast. Do you
know how I can transfer all the emails that i have received here, to my other
email account?
Then, I wish to close out this account.
Can you please help me with this?

See if this leads you to help for both of those domains

If it only seems to reach instructions for one of the domains, you
may have to clean out your cookies before trying to use it to find
information for the other domain.

Also, you may need to try the WORKAROUND section of the
941090 hotfix description if you've already tried the 32-bit
version of the hotfix, the 64-bit version, and also the Vista SP1
update, and none of them worked.

Undeletable messages are often due to interference from an antivirus
program.
What if any antivirus programs do you have, and have you ever had a Norton
or McAfee antivirus program on that computer?

For a temporary fix, download and install this hotfix, with Windows Mail
not running:

You don't have an account with Microsoft. All you have is a copy of
a Microsoft email program. What accounts you enter into that email
program is up to you. You can stop using Windows Mail, but there
is no feasible way to return downloaded emails to the Comcast server.

If you want to give a different Microsoft email program a try, take a
look at this one: http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview

It states "One or more messages that you have tried to send.........would you
like to send it now." Then below it, it offers me to visit a link for
"community help" Which is why I am here currently. Gary, by the way, thank
you for your help. Are you responsible to help persons in here or just do it
out of your own heart?

It seems that the ATT account is now working :crosses fingers:

But the SBCGLOBAL account says " Account: 'SBCGLOBAL', Server:
'pop.att.yahoo.com', Protocol: POP3, Server Response: '-ERR invalid
user/password', Port: 995, Secure(SSL): Yes, Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error
Number: 0x800CCC92"

I don't understand your distinction between an AT&T account and
an SBCglobal account. They are all the same company.

As for the error message below, it sounds like the password store for
that account has become corrupted. As a quick fix, try this:
Delete that account, restart Windows Mail, then recreate the account.
Did that fix it? More worrisome is what caused it to become corrupted
in the first place. Which antivirus program are you running?

Make sure you have send authentication enabled:
Go to Tools, Accounts, select that account, Properties, Servers.
The box for "My server requires authentication" must be checked.

If after making that change you still get an error message, change
the outgoing (SMTP) server port from 25 to 587.

Had the same problem

not to mention infinite other problems with Windows Mail when outlook
express for Win2k worked perfectly for me >:|

I used a program called WMUtil, worked perfectly, now the outbox is cleared
and mails come and go freely

Go to the tools menu>accounts select your account>properties.

Try the following changes to port numbers on the advanced tab.

Incoming mail port #: 995, secure connection (SSL) checked
Outgoing mail port #: 465, secure connection (SSL) checked

Select the checkbox on the Server Tab:

Outgoing mail server: Outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication.

"LIVE" is not a valid mail server name. If you are trying to set up a
live.com or Hotmail email account use the settings given here:

Use port 587 rather than port 25 for the SMTP server.

the error message states: The message could not be sent. The authentication
setting might not be correct for your outgoing e-mail [SMTP] server. For help
solving this problem, go to Help, search for "Troubleshoot Windows Mail", and
read the "I'm having problems sending e-mail" section. If you need help
determining the proper server settings, please contact your e-mail service
provider.

The rejected e-mail address was 'thahn7@verizon.net'. Subject 'Re: Re:',
Account: 'incoming.yahoo.verizon.net (2)', Server:

No, Server Error: 530, Error Number: 0x800CCC78

I've had the same problem after buying a new computer with Windows Vista.
After researching & setting up the server, my error messages in trying to
send e-mails read:

The connection to the server has failed. Subject ''none, Account:
'pop.att.yahoo.com', Server: 'smtp.att.yahoo.com', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25,
Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10060, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E

and also

Server Response: '-ERR [AUTH] invalid user/password', Port: 110, Secure(SSL):
No, Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC92

ANY ADVICE? After trying the download, message stated download wasn't
necessary I think.

The host 'LIVE' could not be found. Please verify that you have entered the
server name correctly.

I just read the string of emails on this problem. I can't send emails and it
says there are two sitting in my outbox, however, when I click on the outbox
there is nothing there. I tried the download you said to try but it states
the update doesn't apply to your computer. I am no computer wiz, can you
tell me how to fix it as it seems you know what you are doing.
