Wow, you found a good one. Thanks. However, I stumbled across an even easier
way of doing it:
Say your PST file is called junk.pst
1. with Outlook NOT running, rename junk.pst to junk2.pst
2. start outlook; it will prompt for a file to replace junk. Point to junk2
3. Once in outlook, open the 'outbox' and delete the monster file
4. quit outlook
5. rename junk2.pst to junk.pst
6. start outlook again
Life is good again...
Thanks for all your help.
