I sent a message to a group of people over two weeks ago. It is still in
my outbox trying to be sent. I can't delete it. I can't open it. How do I
get rid of it?

Put Outlook into offline mode (if you don't know how, hit F1 to use
the help). Exit Outlook. Restart Outlook. Now when you start
Outlook, it won't try to send the Outbox items on the first scheduled
mail poll. If you have Outlook configured to poll for mails every N
minutes then N minutes also include zero minutes (i.e., Outlook will
do a mail poll as soon as it gets loaded and can send/receive
e-mails). You need to eliminate Outlook from trying to send that
stuck Outbox item so either disable mail polling or put Outlook into
offline mode. Offline mode is easier because it's just a menu entry
you can toggle. After restarting Outlook in offline mode, delete the
stuck item in the Outbox folder. Then put Outlook back into online
mode.
