How can I stop a large e-mail that is choking my Outlook??
 
I tried to send an e-mail with a large attachment. My Outlook seems to be choking on it. It stays in my out box, but won't transmit. When I go to my outbox, I see it sitting there (holding up all my other outgoing e-mail).

I click on it to try to open it, but it won't because it says it is in the process of sending it. I do a right click on it, and go down to "delete" but that doesn't do anything.

I've tried turning the computer on and off, it won't go away!

I would try going down to the bottom right of the outlook screen where itg displays the word "Connected", right click on it, and select "work offline." Then try again.

Try moving it to the "Drafts" folder and then deleting it.

I don't see the "connected" thing anywhere.

pull your network cable
that way it can't establish a connection to start sending
it will time out

then delete the message from outbox

when done

install thunderbird and ditch outlook
