Windows Mail, as in the email client that comes with Vista? I'd close mail,
go to C:\Users\<user account>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Mail and look
for an outbox folder and delete the contents. But the experts in the windows
mail newsgroups might have a better way...

Wrong newsgroup. Ask in microsoft.public.windows.vista.mail

This is the wrong newsgroup for Windows Mail, as Diane and Brian have
pointed out, but, here's the fix, it works for all folders:

Messages may be stuck in the Outbox when you use Windows Mail on a computer
that is running Windows Vista

Gotta love that KB title... as if you'll have Mail on some other OS. :)
