Have an email with 2 Publisher attachments stuck in my Outbook. Have tried
to delete but am unable to find a way to delete this email. Keep getting
message that email has "begun transmitting", and it has been stuck for two
days. Can anyone tell me how to delete this email

I am another wit this issue, but with a twist.

I am running OL 2007 with all current updates.

I have messages randomly get stuck like this. Unfortunately i am completely
disabled at this point because the send/ receive continues to try to resend
backing up thousands of commands in queue. I have in the past done all fo
the workarounds above with mixed success. In addition I have tried creating
a new profile and pointing the datastore there- which worked once- but not
this time. This is the first time I found/ used the download- but that did
not work either. I got an unable to abort message. The only thing different
this time is that it is a MAPI calendar change.

The only other thing I have been able to find is that my iPhone MAY be the
culprit. There are some sites that say the sync process on contacts changed
in the iPhone and synced through iTunes are corrupt and that they are the
ones that do this. I have not been able to test enough to know, but now I am
completely hamstrung. i cannot send or receive without having this message
jam things up- and I cannot delete it.

I will be thrilled to find out what is causing this and eliminate it since
it happens about every 2 weeks and is costing me hours of time to deal with
every time. Meanwhile- I am on webmail.
