    • Delete the message. Just select it and press Delete.

    • Drag the message to your drafts folder, double-click to open the message, delete the attachment (click it and press Delete).

  4. If an error tells you Outlook is trying to transmit the message, close Outlook. It may take a few moments to exit.

    Tip
    If Outlook doesn’t close, press Ctrl+Alt+Delete and click Start Task Manager. In Task Manager, click the Processes tab, scroll down to outlook.exe, and click End Process.

    Messages also get stuck in the Outbox when you click Send but you’re not connected. Click Send/Receive and look at the Work Offline button. If it’s blue, you’re disconnected. Click it to connect (the button turns white) and click Send All.
