remove message from queue

Asked by Ben Klein

I went to send a message in evolution, but, after a while, it said that the message that says
DATA command failed: Message exceeds maximum fixed size (40000000)
. It then tries to send the same message every time I start evolution, and I can't send any other messages until that one clears, which it will never do. How can I get it out of the message queue?

The problem is that the message cannot be sent to the SMTP server, and I cannot figure out how to delete the message. The question is how to get the message OUT of the SEND queue.

I went to "On This Computer" > Outbox, and the message was sitting right there, waiting to be deleted.
