Hi

Looks like I have managed to outwit the tool. I attached 75mb's to a message and both unsubmit and delete attachment fail (see below). Any ideas ?

Thanks Brendan

Error: Code: MAPI_E_UNABLE_TO_ABORT == 0x80040114 Function lpMDB->AbortSubmit( lpMessageEID->cb, reinterpret_cast(lpMessageEID->lpb), NULL) File Dialogs\ContentsTable\FolderDlg.cpp Line 2045

All MAPI can do is ask that an operation be performed. It's up to the server (or perhaps the PST) to perform the operation. So this isn't a bug in MFCMAPI. If you're working online you might look into Remove-Message or Suspend-Message.

Hi Stephen

Thanks for the reply. OK so the problem is Outlook’s internal server. Any ideas how to get rid of the email manually by editing the pst file or some such ? Maybe Windows safe mode will fix it to prevent services running etc ? Something like this ?

The stuck email is a pain as it prevents emails going out unless you kill the Outlook process and restart in which case Outlook seems to process the emails in order of size starting with the smallest thankfully !!

Thanks

Brendan
