Can anyone please help me with a problem regarding Outlook Express

I've posted this on another site but no one is or can’t help me

Here’s what’s happened

Yesterday the other half tried to send 160+ pics/photos to her works email address and they have been trying to send all night but won’t go

Here’s what’s happening

When I open Outlook Express up it tries to send the email then gets stuck so I have to red cross it then press 'End program'.
so I'm do able to send or receive emails anymore

Also when I go to 'outbox' to try and delete the email it just pops up with the egg timer and locks up

Does anyone know how I can delete the email? please

Hope this is all clear to you

Buster

  • ooops! Email was never really designed for sending large attachments, next time zip them all up and upload to a site like http://www.yousendit.com/

    I've posted a link to instructions

    You may be able to delete them by just going in without the internet connection being live.

    The other thing to note is that you may have limits on your internet mailbox size, so your ISP may be objecting to the large email.
