How Do You Stop A E-mail?

[Dudelive]

I am not sure where to put this so if it needs moving* I will understand.

The problem is I am experimenting with Office 11 e-mail and went to send myself an e-mail with an attachment to an e-mail account of my own on another computer ( server).* The trouble is I can not delete the message from the computer where it was started to be sent. Reason I want to delete it is it will not go beyond 1/2 way on the status bar.

Now I can not send anything till this one finishes and it will not finish.
Tried deleting but get the error message that it can not be deleted because "file has already started to send."

Tried safe mode and same thing "file already sending."

I hope this makes sense.

Thanks

ps. this was before the latest virus going around

Never experienced office 11 before.  But what if you did a ctrl-alt-del and stopped the process, then went into outbox and deleted it?

@ trminatr Stopping the computer from trying to send is no problem, just exit the program and say yes when it ask if you still want to exit while a file is sending. It will then close

Go back in the program and try to delete it without clicking the send/recieve button and you once again get the message unable to delete file because it has alredy started to send.

I think there is an option to send/recieve on program startup

Try disabling that so it won't try to send it when you start the program

I got round this problem by exiting and restarting and deleting the message once when it got stuck then it worked again after that

Hope it works

But doesnt going back into the program automatically start the send recieve process?

Click on the send and receive button and then stop. And this will work even while it's sending.&nbsp; Once stopped just delete it.

@&nbsp; trminatr&nbsp; No not just going back in as long as you don't click the send/recieve button. Mine is not set up to automatically start when opened. The problem started when I cancled the send because it would not finish.

@&nbsp; user needs&nbsp; If I click on send/receive it will start but there is no stop button to stop it, you can click cancel all in the progress box and it will stop. Then you are back to the problem " can not delete, transfere has already started.

Then when you look in the out box there is the file and you can do nothing with it because you will always get the message that transfere has already started. Talk about going in circles.............geeeessss.

ROFLMAO....at myself to keep from shooting the @$#%^ thing.

@&nbsp; robinwilson16&nbsp; That is the way that I originally set it up and the message I hate still appears. I even restarted in safe mode and could do nothing, not that I really thought it would.

I know there is a simple way to do this, well I would think there would be.

With it stopped,&nbsp; Can you move it to another folder then delete?

[Dudelive]

@&nbsp; user needs&nbsp;&nbsp; No I can not move it, access it or anything always same message
