Mac Forum / Applications / Mac Applications / February 2005email message stuck in outbox
I have an email message (with an attachment) in my outbox that I cannot delete. When I try to send it, I receive a message that the account that created it can't be found, or something similar to that. I've tried deleting the message, but when I click on the message to select it, my computer just hangs and I have to force Outlook to quit. I removed the Outlook Express application from my Mac, along with any support files (preferences, extensions, etc.), restarted my computer, downloaded a new Outlook Express program, installed it, and the message is still in the outbox. I'm on a G4 running system 9. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Dave Dave, Not sure this is relevant, but if I had a similar problem in Entourage, I would move the message to Drafts and try to delete it from there.

Try this: Turn off Preview Pane in View menu, or by pressing command-\. Select the message, delete, then run Empty Deleted Items Folder schedule in Tools--> Run Schedule. Thanks for the help. I finally solved the problem. Someone suggested that I delete the files in the following folder: DOCUMENTS-MICROSOFT USER DATA-IDENTITIES-MAIN INDENTITY. After I deleted the database files and messages file in that folder, the problem file disappeared. Joe > I have an email message (with an attachment) in my outbox that I cannot > delete.
