Sarnie Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 I have tried to send two emails two days ago via outlook but I didn't realise just how big they were (27mb & 7 mb ) and now they have been sitting in the outbox for two days totally blocking any other mails in or out. I've tried right clicking on them to delete them but that does nothing. Any suggestions for getting rid of them??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris`I Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Put it into Offline mode and then try. Maybe close Outlook in Offline Mode and restart it and try again if that doesnt work. There are more hardcore methods, but lets try offline mode first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarnie Posted March 22, 2010 Author Share Posted March 22, 2010 Having outlook problems again but though I'd tag it along here rather than start a whole new thread. I'm currently using Hotmail via Outlook but for some reason today my Outlook won't conncet to my hotmail account and permanently says 'send recieve 33%' in the bottom right hand corner. I've googled and it brought up 1,295,5673 pages of crap. I've restarted Outlook and the laptop but it didn't help! Can anyone suggest anything?

Airro Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 best thing to do is check why it is stuck on 33%, just click on it and should be a button to see more details if you have restarted outlook, sounds like it is struggling to communicate with your hotmail so try removing your hotmail account and go through the process of adding your account to outlook again.

R35LEE Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Pron??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Pron??? Pr0n actually Pr0n Pr0n is slang for pornography.[1] This is a deliberately inaccurate spelling/pronunciation for porn,[15] where a zero is often used to replace the letter O. It is sometimes used in legitimate communications (such as email discussion groups, Usenet, chat rooms, and internet web pages) to circumvent language and content filters, which may reject messages as offensive or spam. The word also helps prevent search engines from associating commercial sites with pornography, which might result in unwelcome traffic. Pr0n is also sometimes spelled backwards (n0rp) to further obscure the meaning to potentially uninformed readers.[17] It can also refer to ASCII art depicting pornographic images, or to photos of the internals of consumer and industrial hardware. Prawn, a spoof of the misspelling, has started to come into use, as well; in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, a pornographer films his movies on "Prawn Island". Conversely, in the RPG Kingdom of Loathing, prawn, referring to a kind of crustacean, is spelled pr0n, leading to the creation of food items such as "pr0n chow mein".

Sarnie Posted March 24, 2010 Author Share Posted March 24, 2010 It eventually sorted itself out. In the bottom left hand corner of Outlook there is a number which is how many emails you have in your inbox. I noticed eventually that this umber was going up, by about 50 every five minutes. I have over 10,000 emails in my inbox so it took a fair few hours but eventually it go up to the right number then about 45 unopened emails appeared for me to deal with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
