Email/Attachments

[JB]

Co-worker tried to email 25MB+ attachment.

Attempts to delete this from outbox (now blocking other
outgoings) brings dialogue box "outlook has already begun
transmitting this message" and disallows any effort to
move or otherwise manipulate this message.

Appreciate any insights...

Attempts to delete this from outbox (now blocking other

There are a couple approaches to this. One is to use offline mode. If you
can, click File>Work Offline. Stop and restart Outlook. You should then be
able to open the Outbox and delete the message.

Another method is to create a new PST (File>New>Personal Folders File or
Outlook Data File), change the default delivery to the new file, stop and
restart Outlook, open the old Outbox, delete the message, set the default
delivery back to the original location, stop and restart Outlook, and remove
the new PST from the Folder view.
