Outlook send cannot deliver 39MB attachment sent by mistake - I can't delete

Outlook 2007 SP.2 running on MS XP Pro - you press send to deliver an e-mail with an attachment before I realized what the attachment was.  My AOL e-mail account cannot deliver beyond 10 MB and the attachment was 39 MB

I tried to delete the email and attachment in the Outbox of Outlook but the software wont let me say its already send the message.  But its been sending this email for 5 days and its clearly blocked.

How do I remove this e-mail as its slowdown of my other e-mail traffic?

Just disconnect from the Internet, (work offline), and then you should be able to clear the message from the Outbox. Bruce Hagen

  • Cannot open the attachment sent with Outlook Express

    I have Windows XP.  I use my processor Works 8.  He worked for many years, suddenly it doesn't.  When I create and send a document using Outlook Express, the receiptant cannot open it.  It is the standard verbiage that works may not support, the file can be used by another application, etc. After much frustration, I find now that if the document is sent attached to Outlook Express cannot be opened from the accessory, it can be opened if the receiptant saves the attachment to its documents and open it from there (which becomes tedious).  I have now discovered that if I send the document as an attachment by using a free email program from Yahoo (Rocketmail) it can be opened from the attachment.  The problem seems to imply of Outlook Express.  Any suggestion would be appreciated.

  • My folder of outlook express has 2.4 GB of info, what files can I delete?

    I transfer my Outlook Express to Windows live and wanted to know if I needed all the files in there, like Deleted Items.bak, Spam.dbx and others.

    I delete anything until you get things moved.  Messages can import dbx files and you might need the bak files.  Wait until it is finished and is saved and then you can get rid of things.

  • •with outlook express cannot receive or send e mails

    • using outlook express cannot receive or send e mails
    Error number: 0x800C0133 = a corrupt Inbox.
     
    Move any message you want to save to a local folder that you create. Then, remove the problem of Inbox as follows.
     
    Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.
     
    In Windows XP, Win2K & Win2K3 the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder options | View.
     
    With OE closed, find the box of Inbox.dbx and delete it. Another will be created automatically when you open OE.
     
    General precautions for Outlook Express:
     
    Do not archive mail in the receipt or sent items box. Create your own user-defined folders and move messages you want to put in them. Empty the deleted items folder daily. Although the dbx files have a theoretical capacity of 2 GB, I recommend all a 300 MB max for less risk of corruption.
     
    After you're done, followed by compacting your folders manually while working * off * and do it often.
     
    Click Outlook Express at the top of the the folder tree so no folders are open. Then: File | Work offline (or double-click on work online in the status bar). File | Folder | Compact all folders. Don't touch anything until the compacting is completed.
     
    Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that devours the processors and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs and account setting changes. Your up-to-date A / V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more information, see:

  • All of a sudden Outlook Express cannot find the files created by the method of attachment.

    Outlook Express cannot find the newly created files to attach. The files are there in My Documents and Outlook Express can still see all the old files, but each new file for the last month is not seen and cannot be attached. I even typed in the name of the file and it says can not find the file of the same name. I send you the files now through 'Send it' a service online, but complicated to use another program. I checked the 'views' and they seem ok. Help, please!

    It is a long shot, but try it in a new identity.

    File | Identity | Add the new identity. Create a new one and try it. If all goes well, you can import your messages and address book from the old identity and delete it.

    Note: Do not use the main word in the name of the new identity.

    Hello

    Proceed to a very thorough check for malware and then change your password by e-mail.

    It is possible for a person to send the email that 'seems' to be of your
    account but that is not really - called "Spoofing." That means its 'Possible' emails
    were not really you, although they may have your contact list. Have someone
    who receives the e-mails to check the header to see where he is actually sent by and
    NOT only the answer to the address.

  • My Outlook Express set up in my computer by Time Warner Cable is bad functioning. I can not delete/forward/send, messages etc. The messages seem to be stuck.

    No significant change has recently attempted to my computer.

    My wife and I have separated accounts of mail Outlook Express on the same computer and years they worked very well, so far. Even my own account works OK, it's only the account of the wife that we're having trouble with. In the Inbox, sent box & box removed, we can't delete, forward, send, etc. How to rid us boxes of old messages?

    Go to file | Identities and setup a new identity.  Then, within this identity, click file | Import | Messages and select OE6 format and then your wife's identity.  Then it will import its messages and records should be free of corruption.  Then add the account information of your wife to that identity.  Then make a backup of all 3 identities and once things are working properly you can possibly remove the old and corrupt identity.
     
    See also the points 2, 3 and 6 here: www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx and here for background: www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx
     
    It is important to keep the messages saved, as OE folders are very sensitive to corruption.
