    In my case, I downloaded and extracted the new MSOE.DLL following the instructions and got it working again. But I am not able to take ownership of the old one. Not even with the little "take ownership" prog. that's posted on here. SO, I had to copy it with Ubuntu Linux. But it works! Ubuntu is your friend. Keep a bootable CD around for times like this!

    In the future, this situation will occur everytime Windows Mail is patched in Windows 7, as msoe.dll will be replaced each time. So in the future, anyone who is hacking Windows 7 by replacing msoe.dll from Vista, will continue to have to get the patched version of the Vista dll and replace it, as in this situation.

    This update should be a one off. The potential security breach has been fixed. I'd be very surprised if it recurred, and since all of the other Windows Mail files are original Windows 7 files, any updates to them will not bork WinMail.

    Ever since the security update "borked" the msoe.dll, I am having a strange problem where the same message is showing up in both my inbox and junk mail folder. The full content of the message is visible in the junk mail but the same message appears in the inbox with a message in the preview pane that "the content of this message cannot be found". My Junk E-mail option is set to "Safe List Only" and "Also trust e-mail from my Windows contacts". I have three Win7 PC's running Windows Mail and all have the same problem. Anybody else having this issue? Screenshot attached.

    A. It might help to clean out your "Local Folders" folder in AppData.

    1. Save all emails

    2. Show hidden folders by opening any folder --> Task Bar --> Organize --> Layout --> Tick: Menu Bar
    --> Task bar --> Tools --> Folder Options --> View --> Dot: Show hidden file, folders and drives --> OK.

    3. Start orb --> User Name --> AppData --> Local --> Microsoft --> Windows Mail --> Local Folders

    4. Delete all folders and files in the "Local Folders" folder, except the Accounts files. That is, delete Inbox, Sent Items, ete. The following is a pic of Local Folders. The alpha numeric code in the accounts shown has been replaced with crosses for security reasons.

    Deleting these folders will not remove them from your WinMail file in Program Files. Next time WinMail is run again, a new set of folders will appear in Local Folders.

    B. Also read this post here.

    C. The other suggestion would be to make sure you have the lastest updates and Service Packs installed. As pointed out in a Microsoft article found here, this was an issue with Vitsta until the latest Service Packs were installed. There is a specific KB update listed in this MS article to deal with this problem.

    D. Finally, download, extract and run the attached program: Repair WinMail Database.zip. It is a small program WMUtil.exe which repairs the WinMail data base.

    Hope this helps. Cheers PB

    Do you suppose a similar process can be used to fix or reset Windows Live Mail except that the Windows Live Mail folder would be used instead of the Windows Mail folder? (This is for those of us who are giving WLM a second chance.)

    I'm sorry, but I don't fully understand your question when you say "fix or reset Win Live Mail". Win Live Mail can be downloaded from Microsoft and run at any time. It will auto correct any files needed in Windows Mail folder. I have run both Windows Mail and Windows Live Mail concurrently in 32 & 64bit installations.

    Or are you referring to the import of email accounts, folders and emails from Vista to Local Folders in AppData? And whether this import process will work with Win Live Mail?

    Sorry, I confused the link you posted above with this one for Windows Mail:
    Messages may be stuck in the Outbox when you use Windows Mail on a computer that is running Windows Vista

    A few months back I was advised by Microsoft that a new version of Win Live Mail would be coming out. To test this new version 2009 build 14.0.817.0416, I have just now downloaded and installed it by simply going to the download site for Windows Live. However, when I installed it I unticked everthing except Mail. It is loaded onto a 64bit version of Windows 7.

    When I ran it for the first time, it auto imported all my contacts and settings, and the option to set it as default was offered. I ticked no for default, which supposedly left WinMail as default. In All Programs --> Default programs, both WinMail and WinLiveMail are listed.

    I will continue to use it for a period of time to adjust to the different names and placement of various buttons etc.

    Thanks for the heads up on the link to the MS Article on "stuck emails". I have referred mick823 in Post No 588 to this link.

    Cheers PB

    Poppa Bear,

    I had located the WMUtil.exe prior to making the post. Running the WMUtil program did not correct the problem. Cleaning out the Local Folders in AppData seems to have worked so far. Thanks for the precise instructions.
