Mysterious Emails that Outlook is Trying to Send

We know the Outbox is gone -- that disappeared in an update last year.  But this just started.  When I go to send an email, it shows 3 being sent and 2 of those appear to be stuck in the Outbox and never even get sent.  I don't know what they are, never created them, and they bog down the send every time.  Since Outbox folder isn't shown, I can't find or delete these mysterious 2 emails.  Any ideas appreciated.  HELP!
