Thanks!
This worked for a customer.
But reading through this thread annoyed the **** out of me, not because people are wrong.
Yes, microsoft should fix it, but the fact there is so much hatred for microsoft on this forum! if things are so bad why are you guys even using outlook in the first place? why not use mail that comes standard with your apple product?
But anyway, Thanks for the fix.
I'm using Microsoft Outlook because it is required by the company I work at, so we can synch calendars, tasks and such. I would think many users here are in the same boat.
What annoys me is that this thread was started in 2007 and there is not yet a fix for it, 9 years later. =P
[doublepost=1473834885][/doublepost]It actually works, when go to window>progress, delete the stuck emails, the outbox appears in its usual location, yet again you need to delete the emails from the outbox folder. thanks.
I just wanted to repost this, as i don't think many read it. Its simpler than some of the other solutions offered:

There is another simple solution that I have been using, as often i need to delete a file before it finishes sending. You can do this without having to go offline.
1. Right click the Outlook icon on tool bar and QUIT Outlook.
2. Re-open Outlook while holding the SHIFT key.
3. You will then see your file/s in the outbox, and you can either delete them, or edit and resend them.
Hope this fix helps.

[doublepost=1489717879][/doublepost]Thank you so much RedpointRik - your solution definitely works. I was becoming extremely frustrated trying to delete an email that would not show itself.
I owe you a drink, emeness! I've been fighting with this problem for over a week now, no one was able to help, and the message didn't show up in my outbox because I had used script to delete it in my applications/utilities. The script deleted it from the outbox, but didn't remove it from the cycle of continuing to try sending. Mac support was no help (they don't DO MS Office for Mac) and getting MS Support was next to worthless because they don't support Office 2011 for Mac. BUT, I found it in the trash file and was able to delete the attachment and it appears to have stopped sending. Thank you so much--much more effective than throwing the macbook pro through the window, which was the next step.
[doublepost=1492800245][/doublepost]I thought my reply to you, emeness, had gone through, but possibly not. I'm a definite newbie, but I owe you a drink (or something!) for solving a problem that's been driving me nuts for a week. Deleted the attachment in trash and the blasted message is finally gone. I had no idea that when I used script to delete the message from the Outlook outbox (applications/utilities/script) that it would go into trash and continue sending like a zombie message. It's gone, finally, and I can get back to work. Thank you!
And I want to thank both of you because this solution has helped me too! The trite "go off line and find your inbox" solution was no help. I hadn't used a script to delete the email, but I had sent it to trash and YES it acted like some crazed zombie email. But having read your post, I found it in trash, I deleted the overburdening attachments and sent it to myself and I am cured HALLELUJAH!
