More than likely, the e-mail is not huge, it's just that Outlook froze. Do a ctrl-alt-del and see if you can get your task manager or application manager open. If so, you can end Outlook safely and do a normal reboot. If the computer is hung completely, just turn it off. Wait a few seconds, turn it on, and the problem potentially solved.
I have seen a few cases where a specific e-mail can cause Outlook to hang just in the process of downloading. If that's the case, there's a bit more we'd have to know about your e-mail system to do a work-around.

Before deleting any programs try killing the process. Ctrl/Alt/Del or Ctrl/Shift/Esc
On Applications tab - highlight Outlook Express - then click End Task.
On Processes tab - find msimn.exe, highlight - then click on End Process.
If this fails, reboot or End Process on EXPLORER.EXE, on Application tab - click New Task - type explorer.exe - hit Enter.
All should be "peachy" again - except of course the lost message you were receiving.

Reboot.

Sounds like it keeps timing out on the message. Click Tools then click Account on the bottom. In there look for your mail account (under mail) and click properties to the right. Click on the last tab to the right and then set your timeouts up to 5 minutes. Then wait it out. If this fails most ISPs have webmail. Go to your ISPs homepage, log in, and delete the message.

HOLD EVERYTHING!
First - as others have said - do the ctrl-alt-del thingie but do it twice to reboot.
When you get back online, download PopMan at http://www.ch-software.de/popman/ and always check your e-mail with it BEFORE opening outlook.

it is quite likely that you have a big e-mail which has 'plugged' your e-mail system. this will prevent any others from downloading and acts like a cork in a bottle. However, it is probably too big to cownload without error or without filling up your mailbox limit.
So, easiest way to solve the problem, call your e-mail provider and ask them to check your incoming mail, and if there is one huge one, just delete it, and you should be back in business.
