Boss tried to send a load of scans without reducing them and now they are stuck in the Outbox, they don't go and if I right click on the message and try to delete, the old egg timer appears and goes on & on & on,

The whole computer then slows down to a crawl

If I then control/alt/delete and get task manager it shows Outlook Express not responding - if I then shut down OE I can work normally, but I need to get at my emails

I have tried various things with, working offline, the line physically disconnected, in safe mode but no luck so far

I suppose I could delete the whole of OE and reinstall it but I'd lose all emails and addresses

Is there some folder that OE saves outgoing messages in that I can empty or delete

Any advice guys (and gals) gratefully accepted

Cheers
