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.

    Looking back over FOUR YEARS of discussion of this problem, one might say that WE REALLY ARE A COMMUNITY! of WLM users thwarted by its mechanism, and usually not helped by the "experts".

       I have stopped using WLMail, and adopted Mozilla's thunderbird instead, but I cannot leave the Community following this thread , because I sill have not succeeded in stopping mails about it!  Happy Christtmas to your Outbox !

    Wonderful to see a problem posted in 2011 that STILL does not have any useful answer in 2015 - despite dozens of people posting useless nonsense that COULD NOT be useful to the person who posted the original question (Hint: don't just tell someone to go to their Outbox to delete the messages when they post that they have already gone to the outbox and there are no messages there)

    I am facing a slightly different variation of what seems to be the same basic underlying problem. 

    Windows Live Mail WON'T open except for what is supposed to be the "Send/Receive Progress" box -- which only shows the current task as "Send 2 message(s) using [my default account]" and a status of "0 of 1 tasks have completed successfully" -- it doesn't ever reach the program screen so I can't even try to delete the messages it thinks it is trying to send - and it doesn't time out (despite waiting far longer than the time limit)

    All clear as mud to me !
