Overwhelmed by Failure to Send

D

Don Bouchard

My Outlook 2007 (Vista) is repeatedly sending an email with a large
attachment and failing to deliver the email, thus eliciting large (several
megabytes) Daemon Failure to Receive messages which are overwhelming
Outlook's capacity. I have been unable to delete the offending message from
my Outbox; I get a message that I am unable to delete the file because
Outlook has already started to send the message. Is there any way to delete
the message from the Outbox and interrupt this cycle which will lockup
Outlook? I have run two antiviral/antitrojan programs and there doesn't
appear to be a virus or trojan--unless it is a new one.

Anybody who reads this message and can help, please email me because I am
having trouble reading messages in the newsgroup.

Sorry. I had to reboot to be able to read my own message and the replies on
this newsgroup..

Thanks for the helpful link. I'm off to try to stop the repeated send and
failure to receive messages. I wonder if this is a virus problem.

Click File and check Work Offline. Close and then restart Outlook. Delete
the message from the Outbox. Click File and uncheck Work Offline.
