    Sister's computer messed up

    Sorry for all these noobish questions, but my sister just screwed up her computer.

    She tried to send like 100MB of pics in Outlook Express (problem in the making), so naturally, OE crashed.

    The problem is this: It is set to automatically send and recieve all messages when you open it... so it is trying to use the SMTP and send 100MB of files... so the only way to stop it is to force restart.

    So I figured, if I disconnect her from the LAN, it can't connect and it won't send. I was right on that part. However, when I click on the message to delete it, it freezes again since it's so dang huge.

    Is there some other way to force a message to be deleted?

    Not sure if this would work, but what if I right clicked on Outbox and said like "delete all"?

    Not sure if you ever got this solved or not DRF, but you could try starting OE in the "work offline" mode and then you should be able to go to the outbox and delete the message.

    Probably late on a possible fix but a good reason to say hi.

      I fixed it long ago

      I found a program that allowed you to open the DBX folders, and I just deleted Outbox.dbx in it, and it was good as new
