I've been pestered by sales firms trying to sell me their products, and tried to use the auto reply system to say please don't send me any more emails. My response is stuck in my outbox and won't go and I cannot find a way to delete it. I use MS Outlook. System Restore does not make any difference. Can someone tell me please how to delete something stuck in my Outbox?

If they don't work, close Outlook, run a search for 'outbox', delete the file and restart Outlook (which automatically creates a new, empty Outbox file).

Buenchico, Thank you very much for pointing me in the right direction. Not being familiar with the complexities. it took me ages, but I got there in the end. It was finding and ticking the Work Offline box that did the trick Then it was quite easy to drag the unwanted bits of email out of the way and delete them.

Methyl, thank you also for your very valid points about spammers and spoofed or cloned addresses. I wondered if I had fallen into that sort of situation and you indeed confirm it.
