Outlook looks nothing like the tutorial, now outlook mail won’t send messages, all stuck in the outbox.

Running Windows 8 (gag) and IE10. My mail tile leads to a window that looks nothing like the win8 tutorial for outlook mail. No blue header, very few buttons just sad looking. However,  Windows mail was working but suddenly all outgoing messages are stuck in the outbox. Can't send them and can't delete them. Need to at least delete those that have been overcome by events while stuck in the out box. Any suggestions out there.
