I have a message in the outbox that I need to delete.
Everytime I open outlook it trys to send the files. When
I select delete, it says the transfer is in progress and
cannot delete the file. If I go off-line it just sits
there. It's messing up my day. Any suggestions on how
to delete this file with three attachments?
 
Try this:
- File menu > New > PST file
- Give the new PST a temporary name
- Click OK to the new dialog
- right-click on the root of the new set of folders
- choose Properties
- Select "Deliver POP Mail ...."
- Click OK

Quit & Restart Outlook

Once Outlook restarts, expand your previous set of folders and delete the
bad message from the Outbox.

- Right click on the root of your original set of folders
- Choose Properties
- Select "Deliver POP Mail ..."
- Click OK

Quit & Restart Outlook

Hopefully all will be well after this...
