Every time I sign off Windows Live Mail I get this message. You have unsent messages in your outbox. Do you want to send them now? It does not matter if I say yes, the message still comes back. I have checked my outbox and there are no messages pending. I am using Window 7 Ultimate 64 bit. Now do I get rid of this message.

    In the Home Tab, check to Work Offline. In the View Tab, uncheck the Reading Pane. On the left hand side, scroll down to "Storage Folders" and you'll see the Outbox. Open the Outbox and delete the message.

    To the moderator, who cares if the thread is old if people are still experienceing the problem and no real solution was posted. If you want no further replies, close it. Thanks for no solution to the problem, you've been a great help!

    The very first post by the support engineer should have just given the simple solution and been done with the entire conversation. Just like trying to get an answer from government employees, microsoft has to give people the run-a-around and try to send you to 50 different "departments" before you finally get an answer when they could have just answered it or found out the answer in the first place. You can't tell me that someone who is an engineer for the company is not already familiar with all products, if they aren't, then they should be or should be fired.

    When you click on to the last icon that is  next to the printer in the windows live mail box  it is the file. Click on that then it  will open the outbox in the left column of options under the inbox. Hope this will help you it took me 2 days to find it.  Sharon

    I have just transferred my stuff from Vista to Windows 7 and am getting this tiresome message.  I guessed this must have something to do with my old email program.   Will the patch you give work with Windows 7 as there is now no Windows Mail on my computer  RosemaryRO
