How to delete/cancel a message in Outlook express

[kelfoan]

I have tried sending 3 e mails via outlook express with large attachments (photos). They are not being sent. I am trying to now delete them but don't know how to. Each time I press snd/recive they keep trying to be sent again and are blocking any further e mails being sent. any help appreciated

I had the same problem not long ago. I right clicked each one and selected delete repeatedly and eventually they did.

As Prudie says. You'll find them in your outbox, you just need to delete them.
If you find that you can't delete them, it's probably because you have OE set to Send/Receive on startup. You need to turn that off, to prevent them being locked when you first open OE.

To turn it off:
Click Tools/Options
On the General tab, uncheck "Send and receive messages at startup"

I can see my messages in the inbox but cant see any folder for either outbox or sent items. If I could locate this I may be able to just delete them.. any suggestions on how to view this folder?

If you go into 'view' on your menu bar then scroll down to 'go to folder', a box will come up showing all your folders and you can then select outbox.

Blimey .. I thought everyone using OE showed their folders!
