[url]www.oehelp.com/WMUtil[/url] did not work for me. The 3 options at the top (that
say close OE to enable) were never enabled. I have not been able to run the
clear outbox, or repair options. Any suggestions?

That sounds remarkably like you didn't bother with the instructions.

Try again but this time read and follow the instructions...
(they were easy to overlook because they were only expanded to 5
or so times the normal text size and only highlit by a red box and
not flashing with bells and whistles)


If Windows Mail is open, or if a current WinMail.exe process is running, the
Database functions are disabled, and the WinMail.exe process must be
terminated before these features can become available. (If WinMail is closed
and these buttons still remain disabled, then perform a CTRL-SHIFT-ESC, and
under Processes find WinMail.exe and click on it, and then click the End
Process button.)

I have the same problem with the same error message,except I now can't send
email, I can receive, but all messages I try to send end up in my out box ,
all can be
deleted other than the one with the error message,this seems to be stopping
all outgoing mail, my service provider has checked all my mail connections,
everything
is ok, any idea's.

Hi,
I have had a problem with the message stuck in my inbox. Check out this link

[url]http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/62560-windows-mail-problems.html[/url]

It tells you how to fix it depending on where it is. If it is in your outbox
then go to the outbox section etc etc. If it is in your inbox then you have
to go to the reset windows mail section. I followed it and it worked!!!! So
many problems but I had to go through my inbox one by one until I found the
problem one after I backed it up and then I could delete it and then restore
all my other emails back to the way they were.

Hope this helps most of you. I think it will solve these problems.

It doesn't "solve" anything, it just gives you a temporary respite.
