The users filled up the queue with too much mail. I need to clean it out all at once. How do I do this? Need HELP.

Were you able to try this from the answer to your previous post?
The fastest way is to stop your smtp service in services. Then go to your program files\exchsrvr\mailroot\vsi\queue directory. Rename the queue directory to queue.old. Then create a new queue directory. Restart your smtp service. What is the source and nature of the messages in your queue?

Thanks. I did do that but it still was full. I do not know what happend. I ended up cutting down the connections to the server and then going in ONE AT A TIME and deleting the messages. I took a while but I was able to get it. Turns out one of the users send out a newsletter and over loaded the system.
Thanks for the help.

What you can do for next time is delete them through DOS. Usually when you try to highlight your queue folder in windows it will hang because it tries to enumerate too many messages. However you can circumvent this by delete them through DOS.
Another method is to delete them using aqadmcli.exe, here is a good tutorial.

Thanks, the strange thing is that there not really any messages in the queue folder but in the exchange manager it would show hundreds.

The queue is in your smtp mailbox, it may not show up in your queue folder, but will in ESM queue viewer.
If the message originates from MAPI client, OWA, or the MTA which is in your case, then the message remains in the store during the same process, in the SMTP mailbox accessible to transport via the Exchange store driver using IFS. To whack the queue you will have to open the smtp mailbox with mfcmapi and delete the queue.
