We use Microsoft Windows Mail. We tried to email a couple files from Windows
Movie Maker, while in the Movie Maker app. Our email keeps trying to send
them, only to error out because they are too large. I need to delete them,
but they don't show up when I click on my Outbox folder. However, when I
click on the Outbox properties it says the folder contains 2 message. How
can I get them deleted? Thanks for any help!

Try the tool WMUtil available here:
http://www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/Default.aspx

This could possibly repair that Outbox corruption?

Please read the instructions.
 
No - they still don't show up in the Outbox - but the Outbox properties says
they are there.

View | current view | Show all messages in the outbox would probably have
worked also.
