fine, i have added my hotmail account via Outlook connector, sent 30MB bmp file. It have stuck in outgoing emails folder however i had not problems deleting it when in offline mode.

Try to do this: click on send/receive drop down list - expand "send/receive settings" and choose show progress.
If the email is still about to be sent (i am not sure how does this work if you are in offline mode) just cancel this task. It worked for me as well and it deleted the large email from outgoing emails folder.
In case you will not have this task shown there, try to go to online mode, wait until it start sending it (or send it manually via send/receive) and try to do the above.

Let me know if that helped.

Kind regards,

Thanks again. In offline mode it shows the message as being in progress of being sent (italicized) in the outbox. When I went to show progress it did not show as being in progress. I did again try as you suggested to go into online mode. There the "Show Progress" dialogue box showed it as being 100% sent and task completed but it did not automatically clear. Nor did the cancel all button have any effect.

I am familiar with how to clear the typical stuck message and have tried various methodologies. I have had to do this on numerous occasions in the past.The problem is that even when I force the message to disconnect via going into offline mode it still thinks it is sending and won't let me touch it.

Thanks again for all the help.

Hmmm....so I was able to get it to stop sending, by going back into online mode and canceling the send. I had done this several times in the past. No idea why it worked in that particular instance.

Now I just sent a few emails with small attachments. A 3MB doc file got stuck...GRRRRR

Cancel the Send/Receive Process & then click/drag the email over to your drafts. Open it and 'resize the picture or attachment' by following the directions here.

Hope this helps you out.
