I have a very large e mail that I tried to send but can't, but now I can't delete it from my outbox.

Any ideas?

    Assuming you are using Outlook?
    Try this...

    Go into Outlook, click on file and then select "work offline." Close Outlook and then reopen the program, go to the outbox and delete the file that is stuck.

    That didn't work I'm afraid.

    Actually, that might have worked in hindsight!
