How do I get rid of a huge email in my outbox "stuck" there going.

[Guest]

I went to send 4 documents I scanned to gmac...I hit send and after awhile
the email is still there...so I check, it says its 90mb trying to
send...impossible. Now after three days of trying to cancell/delete, pull the
plug it is still there...help.

Set OL to offline mode and delete the msg

DL I went to File>work offline and set it to offline and deleted the file and
yet it remains...did I do it wrong?

Did it delete or give you an error that it can't be deleted?

It did nothing. I went into send/rec and cancelled all the tasks as well and
still no indicaton of anything. Thank you

Try disconnecting the computer from the internet and then launch Outlook--if
it can't connect to the outgoing server, then it can't start the outbound
transfer of the message.

it should have errored if nothing else. you may need to delete it using
OutlookSpy if adding a new pst and making it default doesn't allow you to
delete the message. Because of it's huge size, it may take a couple of
minutes to error or delete.

How about starting Windows in Safe Mode then open Outlook and delete
