Click File and check Work Off line. Stop and restart Outlook. Delete the
message. Click FIle and uncheck Work Offline.

In the past couple of days I have also had an email stuck in my outbox. The file attached is a zipped file, but what I didn't realize is that it's 166MB. Perhaps too big to EVER delete it!? (I have just been using Express instead for the time being)

What I have done so far is as you have said Brian - work offline and not only restart Outlook but even my computer. I have gone as far as completely getting offline by turning off my wireless router and unplugging it!! I have also uninstalled and then reinstalled MS Office - and it was still there!!

If anyone knows how to uninstall and reinstall MS Office but yet get rid of that blasted email, please let me know!! Thanks!!!

Method three in this article is GUARANTEED to work:

I'd try Methods one and two first, though (even though you say you tried
method two already).
