The other day I tried to send an attachment that was too large using my GMail account via Outlook 2013.
Now every couple of minutes I get these popups that say:
Your IMAP Server wants to Alert you
http://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=8770
This behavior persists through machine reboots. How can I get this to stop?

I found this answer somewhere and it worked for me.
Close outlook
Go to /Users/--name--/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office 2011 Identities/Main Identity/Data Records/Message Attachments/0T/0B/0M/--latest backup
Delete the largest latest attachment
Open Outlook
It will ask you to rebuild the database
Say 'OK'
takes a minute to rebuild.
Reopen Outlook - Problem solved.

I am on Windows 7 Enterprise and the Microsoft User Data folder does not exist in this location. I searched the entire root and no such folder exists. OP is asking about Outlook 2013, which is what I have as well. Seems your solution applies to Outlook 2011 which is fundamentally different. – Jakub Sisak GeoGraphics – 2014-08-25T12:43:32.487
I next time this occurs to me I will check your answer and provide feedback. Unless there is an overwhelming agreement from responses. At which time I will mark as Answer. – Mr. Young – 2014-02-25T18:03:04.130
Is the email stuck in the outbox? – Hammo – 2013-01-29T02:41:08.097
Nope. It's gone. The only thing I tried doing is deleting it from my sent item on from the gmail web interface. Which didn't seem to help. – Mr. Young – 2013-01-29T16:02:28.923
