Outlook Express

[biker's nemesis]

I need some help with Outlook Express. I have inadvertantly tried to send an e-mail to a friend that was 502mb in size and it has brought Outlook Express to a halt. Every time I try and delete the e-mail from the folder it just freezes up and grinds my computer to a halt. Even if I try to access the outbox folder it tries to display the e-mail and again grinds to a halt. I have tried going in through safe mode and everything but I cannot find any way of deleting the message.
Any Ideas will be much appreciated.
cheers

Top of my head... turn all the preview gumf off so it won't try to display anything?

502MB just leave it till it gets rejected by your ISP else you can just delete the email account and then set it back up. or create a .PST file from outlook and choose to backup only your inbox and then delete and then restore your account.

Thanks for the replies gentlemen. Mick00 came over and sorted it for me.

I haven't a clue what he did, but every thing is fine now.

Cheers
