Message remains in Outbox

[pat]

I have an email stuck in my outbox. I've tried to delete
it, forward it, open it... no response... As long as it's
in my outbox, I'm unable to send out messages. I've also
tried the suggestions in the knowledge base, no luck...
Utilizing Outlook 2002...
Any suggestions!..

here's the answer to how to fix your stuck or jammed outbox in office outlook 2003.

Go to File....New....OUtlook data file....

Choose outlook 97-2002 personal file folder (.pst)

Give the file a name, any name will do, I used "repair".

On the next screen, give the name of "repair" Leave everything else alone on this screen and press "OK"

You should now see a new folder created under "All Mail folders"

Click on the folder called "repair". and press send/recieve button on top of the screen.

Close Microsoft Outlook.

Open Microsoft Outlook and go to your sent items folder where the large file with attachment is stuck, you should now be able to delete this message.

Next go tothe "repair" folder that you created, click on it once.

The right mouse click and click on close "repair". Thats it your done. Now stop pulling your hair out!
