barryfl Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 Hey,I wondered if anyone would know how to solve the following problem i am having using outlook 2003:There is an email in my outbox with a 1MB attachment that i now don't want to send. I have tried to delete it but nothing happens when i press the button to do so. I try opening it and get "can't open this item - outlook has started transmitting the message" i know its not transfering the message because the tasks list in the bottom is idle. Just to let you know i also have Norton Antivirus and Zonealarm 3 pro and i have tried turning of the NAV auto scan mail filter and made sure zonealarm has the correct permissions.Any help on this matter would be most appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XtremeMaC Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 try thisgo to send and recieve settingsdisable checking for mail at startup close outlook completely go to your outbox and try to delete it this timeif fails, maybe db file is corrupt or something, go to personal folders compact the size & try scandisk defrag its a small chance but it might just be bc of that, i dunno never experienced this, if i get an error like this, couple of seconds later outlook crashes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barryfl Posted April 30, 2004 Author Share Posted April 30, 2004 Thanks,But i just tried both and failed its still sitting there. I think the outlook data file is ok becasue i can get in to all the other messages and folders in the data file. I would delete the whole folder but it won't let me. Well shall keep trying....
