Thanks sinclair_tm.

I didn't really lay out the problem I was having as accurately as I should have.
I had just moved to a new office and was having trouble with my outgoing server and the link to it for my Mail program. I was receiving mail, but not able to send it out and as a result, the status box was there, but no status bar, and no circle with an "X". All I was getting was an interminable spinning-spokes wheel next to my "Sending" mailbox with no easy way to stop it.

I have now resolved my link to the outgoing server and the status bar appears as you indicated. I ran a test on an unlinked server and found the only way to get the outgoing message deleted was to go into my Library/preferences for Mail/mailbox/outbox - find the messages in the outbox and delete them there.

Once again, thanks for your prompt reply.
