Solve : OE Won't Delete E-mail?

Answer»

Since there was no Outlook Express section, I am POSTING the question here.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

I tried to send a 200MB e-mail, which didn't work.  So I tried to delete the e-mail from OE's outbox but OE crashes every time I TRY to go back in to delete it.  I tried everything, including DISCONNECTING from the internet and deleting it every way I know how.   Still I failed.  Now I can't use my e-mail because outlook crashes everytime it tries to send/receive e-mail.  Can anyone help?  I thought of going through the Outlook Express Outbox .dbx file, but I am afraid to erase the 200MB file for fear of totally SCREWING up OE.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

THANK YOU!Which operating system are you using? We might be able to do a system restore...

Make a copy of the .dbx file.
Then delete the original.
I believe OE will create a new .dbx file when you open it.
If not, put the copy (renamed of course) back where the original was.
Worst case, you are no worse off than you are now.
