I have no outbox in mail. Where is it?

The mail app is telling me it can't send an email and it's stuck in the outbox. I can send it in the progress bar trying to send to no avail. So I want to delete it but there's no outbox. Where is it or how do I create one.

iMac, i7, 2TB Drive, 8G Ram, Macbook Pro, 15", iphone 3G, Mac OS X (10.6.2)

Take iPad offline, create and send another email and when it fails, it will magically appear and you can delete them both.

The outbox is not normally accessible... strange as it sounds.

Wow Graham that solved it. How did you ever figured that out and why do you think this is so convoluted? Thanks for the quick response. I would never figure this out.

As with the Mail.app on a Mac, the Outbox mailbox is not shown/available unless a message cannot be sent for whatever reason. Not sure why the Outbox was not available with the original message that could not be sent.
