Deleting over-large outgoing mail

I accidentially attached a 6 MB file to a mail item that
was to go out on my Hotmail account. Now that it's in the
outbox, Hotmail won't take it (it's too large) and I
can't delete it (permission denied).

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance, J.
 
Create a new .pst file and make it the default. Close and reopen Outlook.
Go into your outbox and delete the message. Close the new .pst file. Close
and reopen Outlook.

try this, create another pst file, make that your default mail folder
go to the other pst folder, try and delete item from outbox, if you ca
you can set back the orignal pst as mail default file

I have seen several references to "Create a new .pst file and make it the
default". How is that done? It does not appear to be an option on OL
2000 File Menu. I found an option to Add a new Identity. Is that what
should be used?

Thanks

Since Outlook does not have Identities, you are obviously confusing Outlook
with Outlook Express, which does use Identities, but not PSTs, explaining
why the File menu doesn't have the item Milly mentioned. Ask your question
in an Outlook Express newsgroup.
