| Windows Mail Pesky Annoyances |
| Sometimes the mail stuck in the Outbox can't be deleted within the Windows Vista Mail.
Two ideas:
1.) Microsoft's Patch
- this DOES work.
2.) Or, a little utility program from oehelp.com might be the answer.
All one has to do is create a folder, download the zipped files to your Desktop, then extract the files to the new folder.
(You will need to locate the database where the Windows Mail is stored)
Make SURE you exit the email program or this utility won't work.

download zipped file extract to new folder, run wmutil.exe |
| Windows Mail Running Slowly: |
| CAUSE: Spybot (Immunize function), SpywareBlaster, or other similar programs add a large number of entries to Internet Explorer's restricted sites list. This will cause a severe performance problem in Windows Mail after installing the KB931768 critical Windows update. The slowness comes from Windows Mail having some kind of conflict with the update and the spy program making it read through the long list of restricted sites.
