When an attachment in your outgoing Outlook message is too big, it may get stuck in your Outbox and freeze Outlook as the application continually tries to send it. This type of problem is generally the result of maximum email size limits imposed by your email provider. To avoid it in the future, keep attachments to a smaller size, or take advantage of special options from your provider that allow you to send larger attachments.
Fix Stuck Message
If Outlook still responds to your commands while a message is stuck, the simplest way to fix the problem email may be to take Outlook offline. Select the \'Send/Receive\' tab and click \'Work Offline.\' Outlook will stop trying to send the problem message, and you can try to move it from the Outbox folder to the Drafts folder before going back online. If the message won\'t budge, restart Outlook while in offline-mode and try again.
Unfreezing Outlook
If Outlook is completely frozen, try restarting the application and then taking it offline as described above. You may need to shut down Outlook through the Task Manager or restart your computer. If Outlook won\'t start properly because of the stuck message, disable your network connection before restarting Outlook. To disable the network, click the \'Network\' icon on your desktop taskbar, click your network name, and then click \'Disconnect. Once you have Outlook running again, move the stuck message from the Outbox folder to the Drafts folder before reconnecting to the network.
Attachment Size Limits
If the stuck message had several attachments, you may be able to resend them in separate emails. The size limits for attachments vary depending on your email provider, and the limits change on a frequent basis as companies attempt to outdo each other. As of November 2013, Gmail, Yahoo Mail, AOL and Outlook.com limit the total size of each message to 25MB.
Sending Large Attachments
Gmail, Yahoo Mail and Outlook.com allow you to send larger attachments if you store the original files in their cloud storage. As of November 2013, Gmail allows 10GB attachments, if they\'re stored on Google Drive. While Outlook.com allows 300GB attachments, if the file is stored on Microsoft\'s SkyDrive. Yahoo Mail allows attachments of any size if they\'re stored on Dropbox. Keep in mind that the recipient\'s email provider may also place limits on the size of attachments he can receive.
