Default How to abort large message (3MB) stuck in outbox in Outlook 2003?

Sometimes Outlook will send but not receive. Then it will receive but not
send. At present it has become stuck in forwarding an attached 3MB file. I
cant't stop it and it won't complete the transmission. What to do?

Click File and check Work Offline. Close and then restart Outlook. Delete
the message. Click File and uncheck Work Offline.

If that doesn't work, try this:

Delete an item stuck in the Outbox folder:
- Load Outlook.
- Put Outlook in offline mode (File - Work Offline: enable).
- Exit Outlook.
- Load Outlook in its safe mode ("outlook.exe /safe").
- Delete the stuck item in the Outbox folder. If you don't want the
item to move into the Deleted Items folder, use Shift+Del to
permanently delete the item.
- Put Outlook in online mode (File - Work Offline: disable).
- Restart Outlook in its normal mode.
