If I hit cancel on the read/write emails dialog box, it says finishing with this message (or something like it) and then stays there for ever.<br />

How do I reject this email? It stops anything else getting past it.<br />

Outlook Express paralysed by a huge attachment on an email

Windows Live Mail is the successor to Outlook Express, a discontinued email and news client bundled with several versions of Microsoft Windows, from Windows 98 to Windows Server 2003, and available for Windows 95 and Mac OS 9. In Windows Vista, Outlook Express was superseded by Windows Mail, then again by Windows Live Mail as separate software. Outlook Express is a different application from Microsoft Outlook. Beginning with Windows Vista Microsoft included Windows Mail, based on large parts of Outlook Express source code.
