Outlook Express

[hofmanns]

I am attempting to delete a large file > 77 MB from
the "Outbox" in Outlook Express. I am able to delete
other smaller files. However, when I highlight the large
file, my system becomes hung up. Any suggestions for
deleting the large file?

Thanks
Susan

You might be to delete your Outbox.DBX file to 'fix' this problem.

In the future note that this newsgroup is for support of Outlook 97, 98, 2000, 2002 & 2003 from the Office family for Intel PCs. For Outlook Express (OE) support try posting in one of these newsgroups:

If those groups aren't carried on the news server that's carrying this group try using msnews.microsoft.com (MS's public news server that's the source for all the microsoft.public newsgroups). The links under the newsgroup references are for use with MS's web newsreader (not exactly the best way to post but it works for some people)
