I tried to send an e-mail message with attachments that
came to 10MB in size. The problem is that I use the free
version of Hotmail that only gives me 2MB total space.
The message is now stuck in limbo in Outlook 2003. It
will not send, and I cannot delete the message. It does
not leave my Outbox. Every time that I start Outlook the
program tries to send this giant e-mail message, yet
can't accomplish the task due to the 2MB Hotmail limit.
What can I do??????????
 
Highlight the email. Pick it up and move it to your inbox or drafts folder.
Open the email. Delete the attachments one by one. Delete the email.
Simple.

You may have to temporarily cut your phone connection to enable this.
 
Why delete the attachments from instead of just deleting the email with the
attachments on it?
