as i'm new however to
office outlook, i do not even know what a pst. file is! Can someone
tell me and also how to create it.
File>New>Outlook Data File. However, if you're sending and receiving mail,
you already have one (it's where all your data, like Contacts and email) is
kept, so no need to create another unless you want.

I have an email stuck in my
outbox because it's too large (13MB). I followed these steps:
1. Create a new pst-file; File-> New-> Outlook Data File...
2. Set this pst-file as your default delivery location in your
Account settings;
Tools-> E-mail Accounts-> button Next
3. When you now restart Outlook your original pst-file will show up
as the
secondary set of folders where should easily be able to remove the file from
or
even the complete Outbox folder
However, I am still unable to delete the message. I select the message, then
click the delete icon, and nothing happens. Now, I have two Personal Folders
in outlook and I'm not sure where to go from here. Previous to this I was
following the advice to rename the pst file, which I did, to no avail. Then I
went back and renamed the file with its original name, but now outlook wants
to
find the outlook2.pst file that I created. What should I do? I'm afraid to
change anything else lest I really screw up my system.

Ok, i have had this problem more times than I can imagine. I ahve a really
simple way of correcting this problem. usually the first thing you should do
is click on your outbox to open it and then then click to "cancel
send/receive." After canceling the send/receive then deleting is easy. You
jsut click delete and it deletes with no problem!
