Outlook 2003 Frozen on Large Attachment
Some misguided individual sent me a 92m file through email that outlook actually downloaded and placed in my inbox.
Outlook is basically frozen from this and immediately stops responding when I attempt to do anything. Quitting and running the program gives me about 2 seconds of time before it freezes again.
What can I do to delete this message and get outlook functioning again?
Keep in mind that it doesnt appear I can do anything in the outlook application.

Hi War1.
that worked well so far! whats the easiest way to retreive mail folders and old mail from the copied PST file without causing a problem with the big attachment that is still in there?

I opened it as a data file and as soon as I selected the inbox it has appeared to lock again.
Back up the PST. Then run ScanPST on the file.

If no joy, PST cannot be repaired. Use a backup PST file.
