MS Outlook Help

[Sarnie]

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???

One of these might work?

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

[Chris`I]

at least you dont have google mail for WORK

Thought you were looking forward to that? Is it not very good? I like Gmail for my personal mail, works well on the iPhone too

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]

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.

delete all the pron

[R35LEE]

Pron???

[Chris`I]

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".

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

[Husky]

you killed it with your spam sir

[Chris`I]

you killed it with your spam sir

So it was the pr0n

[Sarnie]

No pr0n at all actually

[Stew]

No pr0n at all actually

 

Why not? What's wrong with you?

 

Or is it all on an external drive that the missus can't find???
