deleting from outbox   

My daughter used my outbox to attempt to send a lot of pictures to someone.  
Although I have the "middle grade" of BellSouth DSL, the file is way too 
large.  I have finally managed to get to work offline so that I can switch 
identities so my son and husband can check their email.

My problem is that it will not let me delete the file from the outbox, even 
in the work offline state.  How can I get the email out of the outbox?  
Thanks.

Re: deleting from outbox   

Easiest way is just to close Outlook Express, then do a file search for 
Outbox.dbx (if using Win2K/XP, the DBX files are marked hidden so you must 
include a search for hidden file), then delete Outbox.dbx - when you reopen 
Outlook Express, a new and empty Outbox will be created for you.
