.
Select the Outbox folder, select the message and drag it to
the Deleted Items folder.

Chuck that does not work.. I already tried that. The message is still there.

What a coincidence. I have since had the opportunity to
test the situation. I had 4 messages backed up in the
Outbox, one of which was of no consequence so I attempted
to delete it. Nothing I could do would delete it.

The following are some common reasons why new messages that
you send never leave the Outbox in Microsoft Outlook:

.. If you use offline folders or Remote Mail, you must use
different commands to send and receive messages.

.. If you open a message in the Outbox, or edit it and then
save changes, the message is not sent. Open the message,
and then click Send. Messages waiting to be sent are
formatted in italic in the Outbox.
You might have specified that messages not be sent until
the next send/receive. On the Tools menu, click Options,
and then click the Mail Setup tab. Select the Send
immediately when connected check box so that a message is
sent when you click Send in the message. If you connect by
using a LAN (LAN: A computer network technology designed to
connect computers separated by a short distance. A local
area network (LAN) can be connected to the Internet and can
also be configured as an intranet.), messages are sent in
the background. If you use a dial-up networking connection,
Outlook tries to connect to the server (server: On a local
area network, a computer that controls access to all or
part of the network and its resources, such as printers. On
the World Wide Web, a computer running Web server software
that responds to HTTP protocol requests. Also called a
host.) after you click Send in a message.

.. If you are using Cached Exchange Mode, you might have
chosen to work offline and have no send/receive group
settings configured to periodically connect to the
Microsoft Exchange Server. If you are working offline, the
status bar will display Offline. To return all accounts in
the profile online, on the File menu, click Work Offline .
To only reconnect the Exchange Server e-mail account, on
the File menu, click Connect to Microsoft Exchange Server.
