I came across some photos (approximately 25) that my sister and niece would
like to have. I attempted to send them (as an attachment) and now, they are
stuck in my outbox. When I try to delete the message, I receive a message
stating that I cannot delete the file because it is in the process of being
sent. Nothing is moving and I would just like to delete the message and
send them the original CD....where I found the photos in the first place. I
suspect that the message was much too large to send....but at the time that
I sent it, I didn't think about the size of the file. Any ideas on how I
might delete this email? Thanks, in advance.

Hi Robin,
Close Outlook then start run outlook /safe and then try to delete the
message. If that does not work boot the computer to safe mode. You can do so
by pressing the F8 button as soon as the computer restarts.
