I just found out after much time how to delete unsent emails from Outbox:
In Windows Mail click "View", then "Layout" then "Local Folder" then
"Outbox". Start at the top of your Outbox unsent emails and delete them one
by one. They are gone.
I deduced this after I spent hours on line with some overseas tech help and
the message that I had unsent emails still popped up.

It worked for me.

This worked for me and will probably solve your problem. So simple.

In Windows Mail click View, then Layout, then Local Folders , then Outbox
and then from your list of emails in the Outbox list delete the unsent emails
one by one -Now they are gone!!!

I couldn't send email for a week. Now I can.

Correction: Do not click on LAYOUT Instead- In windows mail-Click "View,
Go to Folders, Local folders, Outbox, then delete unsent emails.

Do you get an error message when you try to send emails? If so,
right-click on your error message, copy, then paste it into a reply here.
We can't do much troubleshooting without the complete error message.

Hello Khaskins,

You might see if the options in PROBLEM ONE of the tutorial below may
be able to help you delete this stuck message so you can send again.

Try working off line. Then delete the offending email. Then go back online> I
had exactly the same problem as you, and this has worked twice for me now.

Good luck
