How Do I Delete a Huge Email in Outbox?

[Guest]

Hello--

I was trying to send this huge attachment and now it is stuck in my outbox.

If I try to delete it, it says it can't because Outlook has already started
sending it.

I don't care if I lose the message, but I would like to know how to delete it.

Many thanks,

Try setting Outlook to Offline. Then delete. If not, start up in Safe mode
(no Internet), open Outlook and then try to delete.

In Outlook, click File and check Work Offline. Stop and restart Outlook.
You should now be able to delete the file. Click File and uncheck Work
Offline.

I have had the same problem with one exception. Mine just keeps sending it
over and over again. Sure can piss people off. To cure your problem you wil
have to periodically right click on the message in the Outbox. Eventually,
you will catch it when it is not sending and it may be deleted at that time.
Good Luck

That's the purpose of Work Offline, so that it doesn't start sending.
