can not delete mail in Outlook Express

[Guest]

I made a mistake by trying to attach a file to some mail that was way to big
to go out. It has been stuck in my outbox for almost a week now. I have my
system almost back to at least I can receive mail. When I go to the outbox it
take like 10 minutes to change over. Then when I hit delete either on the key
board or by right clicking it goes into a frenzy for another 10 minutes and
an error shows up. But no luck in the message going away. I am lost on what
to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Have you tried asking the experts in the Outlook Express Newsgroup(s)?

Do a file search for outbox.dbx (be sure to include hidden files) and
delete it.
