as soon as i open OE I have one message in the outlook and it tries to send
it but the message is extremetly large that the computer crashes and it just
freezes. How can i stop this message. When i click on the Outlook category it
just freezes, so i have to know how to delete it from somewhere else, i use
Win XP, thank you, by the way i cannot receive any e-mail

This will delete all mail in the outbox.

Do a Search for outbox.dbx.
Do an Advanced Search and include Hidden files and Subfolders.
In Windows XP, 2K & 3K, 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 DBX file for the folder in question {Outbox.dbx}
and delete it. A new one will be created automatically when you open OE.

bugs.... :)
