No need to close all programs or restart the computer. Just stop and restart

Outlook.

didn't work for me on Windows 8.1

Sent email by mistake. email states that it has already started transmitting and cannot be deleted. Have tried everything. Any suggestions?
 
Set Outlook offline and/or disconnect from the internet and wait a few minutes for outlook to stop trying to send it, then delete it or open it and remove the attachment. If it's really large, it may take some time for Outlook to stop sending it, so be patient.
