I have had the same problems. I can't even use my Yahoo mail account either. I had a Geek Squad person come out and was told that I wasn't online. I could receive e-mail but not send. I deleted what ever I could delete. I also have a wireless connection as my computer is just two months old. I am very disgusted with the whole thing. The Geek man told me that I wasn't online. He adjusted my lines and rebooted and lo and behold, it started working. That was one week ago. Today I am having the same problems.

It's hard to tell from your description but I assume you have a message stuck in the Outbox which you are not able to delete. You can use Microsoft's new fix for that problem: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/941090 Gary VanderMolen "Mama Jude" <Mama Jude.TakeThisOut@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:37B912C4-BBB7-454F-8040-5FB8C16A5E1A@microsoft.com... > I have had the same problems.

I applied the fix 941090 and when I went to delete the message that has hung up my Outbox I got the message "Message could not be displayed." When I actually hit "delete" the message "An unknown error has occurred." I still cannot send email--all messages are stopped in the Outbox. I have had this problem for four months now. I upgraded from Home Basic to Home Premium, hoping this would help. It did nothing. HELP!

We could have told you that upgrading Vista would have no effect. But I would advise you to upgrade Windows Mail to Windows Live Mail (it's free): http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview -- Gary VanderMolen [MS-MVP WLM] "MH" <MH.RemoveThis@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:F1AD34F8-874C-4F63-8EF1-189593A36039@microsoft.com... >I applied the fix 941090 and when I went to delete the message that has hung > up my Outbox I got the message "Message could not be displayed."

Did you try both the 32-bit version and the 64-bit version of fix 941090? What if any antivirus programs do you have? Some of them cause such problems, although seldom immediately.

Gary, thanks so much. I did download and install Windows Live Mail, and have received and sent emails. So I am no longer locked up in the Outbox. When I opened Live Mail, I had not only current mail, but 12 messages from July and August that were deleted long ago (I thought). But things have definitely improved. Let's hope it last.
