I tried to send a message and received a message about a bad address. Now every time I send a message to anyone I still get that message so I think it is a holding place somewhere and would like to clear it out. Where is it being held? I don't see any Outgoing Mail folder like there was in Outlook. Thank, Karen

Error Message: An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: <'name@earthlink.net'>: malformed address: '> may not follow <'name@earthlink.net. Please check the message recipient 'name@earthlink.net' and try again.

But I don't want to send it anymore, just stop it trying to send every time I send another email. I finally found the outbox way down under "Local Folders." Didn't expect it there, but I have now deleted the two emails stuck there because of the bad address. Problem solved Thanks,
