Outlook 2003

[Antonio Henriques]

I have a message in Outbox that I can't be deleted since it is showing
transmitting.
It blocks any action to delete.
I can receive and send emails, but just this one is there with its
attachement.

I tried repair, uninstall but no way.

I appreciate a suggestion to solve this issue.

File - Work Offline
Wait 5 minutes.
Try to delete.

If it still fails, File - Exit
Wait 5 minutes. Verify outlook.exe is not listed in Task Manager under processes.
Restart Outlook and remain offline.
Try to delete.

Delete an item stuck in the Outbox folder:
- Load Outlook.
- Put Outlook in offline mode (File -> Work Offline: enable).
- Exit Outlook.
- Load Outlook in its safe mode ("outlook.exe /safe").
- Delete the stuck item in the Outbox folder.
- Put Outlook in online mode (File -> Work Offline: disable).
- Restart Outlook in its normal mode.
