cannot send and cannot delete from Outbox or Sent Items

[Linda J]

starting yesterday I had the above problems and it says there were ERRORS but
shows NOTHING in the ERRORS window.

Which antivirus are you running? Some of them cause problems with Windows
Mail over time. Make sure your antivirus is not configured to scan emails.

If the problem continues, try running the various repair functions in the
WMUtil program: http://www.oehelp.com/WMUtil

If no improvement, upgrade to Windows Live Mail:

I have two items in outbox express and they have too large attachments, I want know how to delete out of outbox and send attachments in a smaller amount at a time

I didn't have to scroll to the bottom to know this was coming from an
Egghead. Doesn't anyone there know how to start their own thread?

This is a Windows Mail newsgroup. So, is your question about Outlook
Express in XP or earlier? Or is it about Windows Mail in Vista?

I have no idea what "outbox express" is. We can't help you unless
you identify exactly which email program you are using.

Go to File | Work Offline and then go to the outbox and make sure it is set
to View | Current View | Show all messages and then delete the message.
Then go to Tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties | Advanced and set the
option to break apart messages that are a certain size and then set the
size. That will send large messages in pieces. You might also try reducing
the attachment size prior to attaching it.
