Outlook XP Freezes Upon Opening as a Result of a Large Inbox File

[McClint]

I tried downloading a 17MB file from my email server and it just caused
Outlook XP to freeze up. Now whenever I start Outlook it just freezes.

What should I do?

Thanks,

Can you access your ISP's web mail interface and delete that message?

I have tried deleting the email from my server's inbox through the webmail
interface but the large file still shows up in Outlook when I start it up and
Outlook continues to freeze.

Thanks for a fast reply,
