    Deleting from Outbox in Outlook Express
    I have a large file (pics) in my outbox for Outlook Express. I have tried to delete it from the outbox but it won't remove. I think that Outlook Express tries to continue sending this file every time I start up the computer. I want to remove this file.

    Here's a good place to start: How to troubleshoot e-mail messages that are stuck in your Outbox


    Here's the more technical way:

    Close Outlook Express.
    Do a Search for .dbx files.
    Search: Start > Search > For Files or Folders > All files and folders,
    In the field for: all or part of the file name, Key in: .dbx
    Below that, click on More advanced options
    In the field: Type of File, select (All Files and Folders)
    Place a checkmark in: Search system folders / Search hidden files and folders / Search subfolders
    Click Search

    Locate the Outbox.dbx file and delete it.
    Restart Outlook Express, a new Outbox.dbx file will be created.
    Send yourself a Test message to see if it leaves the Outbox.
