Hello.

I have an email message stuck in my Outbox. In trying to
correct the problem, I receive an error message
stating "MAPI Spooling". By mistake, this email could
have been sent "From Me" "To Me" and is cycling
through "Send/Receive".

Any ideas as to how I might correct this? I have tried
deleting it through the edit menu. I have also tried
moving it to another folder.

Any help would be appreciated!!
 
Place Outlook in Offline mode by File-> Work Offline and then restart
Outlook.
You should now be able to delete the message.
Don't forget to put Outlook back on-line!

If you are on a LAN line, be sure to disconnect the network cable and
restart the computer after changing the Outlook connection to manual.
Then after deleting the stuck message, reconfigure Outlook back to
LAN, reattach the network cable and restart the computer.
 
This is definitely not need. File-> Work Offline will sufice.
