Does anyone know how to delete messages from the Outbox (not the Sent box).
I have eight messages in the Outbox which I cannot get rid of. One of them
has a photo attached which seems to be when the problem started. Each time
I switch on the computer tries to send these messages, which it eventually
does, but they do not disappear from the Outbox and the next time I switch
on the same thing happens. Some of the messages do get to their
destination, but on the one with the photo attached I get a Notification of
Delivery Failure message. I have tried dragging them to the recycle bin,
but I get a message saying these messages cannot be moved.

Please help as my son thinks I am on drugs as he keeps receiving the same
messages from me over and over again!

Have you tried to drag them to the deleted items box, do it offline. If that
doesn't work right click on each message in turn and then click on delete in
the drop down box.

Also you can highlight them showing in the right-hand view right click,
select move to folder,
which gives you a window with all your OE folders and select Deleted items.
