I am running Windows XP with MS Outlook 2003 SP2. I have an email in my outbox that cannot be sent and that cannot be deleted. It is 48MB long. I have tried closing the program and restarting the computer to no avail. I am on a high speed connection. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated................roadrunnerray

Hi, roadrunnerray. I've encountered this problem before. Disconnect from the internet - it should allow you to delete it then. As long as you're connected, it won't delete it. Let me know if that worked. :)

With large files like that, Outlook is still trying to transmit them even if it doesn't appear that it is. I'm glad it worked. :)
