message stuck in outbox

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.

You probably don't need the hotfix, you just need to set up your Gmail
account properly.
Gmail doesn't use port 25. Gmail now has instructions for enabling POP and
for configuring Windows
Mail....
