Can't delete a large outgoing email

I accidentally sent (am sending) a VERY LARGE email (200MB) and I cannot delete it while it's in the process of sending. I've tried DELETING it, dragging it to the trash, and nothing works. The huge file is really slowing everything down.
HELP!!

1. Quit Mail.
2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/.
3. Locate Outbox.mbox and move it to the Desktop if you want to preserve the messages waiting there, or just trash it otherwise.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user's home folder, i.e. ~/Library is the Library folder within the user's home folder.

    No.
    With an Exchange or IMAP account you can delete the messages with the email client used on your computer or via webmail access for the account - all server stored mailboxes are kept synchronized with the server with each email client used to access the account.
    Not possible with an antiquated POP account.

    I had the same problem.  I completely powered down the iphone and then powered it back up.  I then had the bar at the bottom of the email app that I think you are looking for.

    20mb, but I would suggest leaving a little space. 15 is reliable.

  • How can I NOT have my outgoing emails accumulate on gmail?

    I'm using Thunderbird with gmail via POP3, not IMAP. I want to just grab the emails, download them to my PC, and delete them from gmail. That part works great. But with both TB and my previous Outlook 2000, my outgoing emails end up staying on the gmail server. I see no control in TB nor on the gmail site to say "delete outgoing emails after sending" like is done when receiving.
    Is this just the nature of email systems?
    So every couple months I log onto gmail manually, and delete all of them. I just don't like my emails being available to a hacker.
    Are there any settings to accomplish this?
    Thanks.

    You're right, for a POP account, the option "Place a Copy in:" in TB, under Account Settings/Copies and Folders would only enable/disable local copies to the Sent folder. If you want local copies, leave it checked.
    To control the setting for copies to the Sent folder on the server, login to your Gmail account via browser, and look for an option to disable it there.
    The 'Other' option in TB can be used to chose another account's Sent folder, e.g. underneath 'Local Folders'.

  • Delete picture in outgoing email

    How do I delete the picture that I have of myself in my email account (Safari email)? It's in the upper right hand corner of my outgoing email. I remember putting it there somehow but now I can't remember how to delete it.
    Thanks-
      Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    (Safari email)
    Are you referring to the Mail application when sending messages or when using the Safari browser to access and send messages with your .Mac account since these are different?

  • I setup my android sync account with an incorrect email address. How can I delete or change the email adress or account.

    When I setup my sync account on both my pc and my andriod I left off the 'L' in gmail. I type fast and I do it a lot. Normally not a problem because I get an 'incorrect email' error message. So I synced and everything - went fine. However I have no email account that ties into my sync account. I created a new account on my PC, but am unable to change or delete the account on my Galaxy S3 - operating on android 4.3.
    I have tried to add another Firefox sync account, but it prompts that I can only have one account. I can not delete the account because I can't find that option.

    I deleted the account in Windows 7, but I am unable to figure out how to delete it in the Android 4.3 OS. Please see attached pics.

    I added a large note and now ical won't let me close it or quit ical. I read about an Ical Cleaner... but where do i get it?

    If you are using an IMAP account, you can mass delete from your computer.
    If you are using a POP account, you will need to delete one by one.

  • Help, I can't delete any of my emails from my IPhone

    How do I delete emails from my Iphone???? When I try to delete an email I get a message saying Unable to Move Message. I noticed that there is no trash can for my email to go into so I suspect that is why I can't delete any of my message. I uninstalled my email from my Iphone then reinstalled it but it's still happening. Oh and get this, the other day when I tried to show my friend that there is no trash can all of a sudden one appeared then when I got out of my email and went back in, the trash can was gone agian. Not sure what's going on. Hopefully anyone out there has an answer to this very strange probelm.

    I don't remember the answer, but this has been asked and answered before.
    You can do a forum search and you should be able to find many posts about this.
    Type " Unable to Move Message" into the search bar on the right hand side of this page and see if you can find the answer.

    I can not delete or reply to my gmail emails. I used to have a option to delete move or forward/ reply when editing. That option is no longer there.

    Try
    Restart iPhone: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for phone to restart.
