Outlook inbox spamed to many messages

Left log4net smtpappender on when I went on leave for a week. Unfortunately the system went wrong and I now have a couple of GIG's of data being downloaded into my inbox, which through Outlook is incredibly slow.

I set-up a rule to move the problem messages into deleted items, and I've also changed the "Connected to Microsoft Exchange" to only download headers. This seems to have sped up the influx of messages into my inbox, so that I can eventually delete them.

Very frustrating. Not sure if there is any other way to stop Outlook from downloading to much data. Any comments would be appreciated.
