Can't delete unsent messages, name list is too long

This morning, I tried to send an email with a bcc list over 200 (a standard mailing list I use all the time). Unfortunately, the server wouldn't let me send it because of a single bad address. Now what I have in my Mail program is the unsent message on the screen, with the warning, "Cannot send message using the server mail.xxx.edu:xxx. The server "mail.xxx.edu" did not recognize the following recipients:" And then it lists all 200 names.
The problem is that the buttons that normally appear at this time (Edit Message, Try with Selected Server) are all the way off the bottom of the screen, so I can't cancel the message. All I can do is minimize it; it seems like the message is stuck there permanently.
The obvious solutions have failed. I can't scroll the list of names downward. I can't push the top of the message past the top of the screen. I can't quit the program and restart, because the message just comes right back. I can't zoom the screen out in order to see the buttons. There are no active cancel buttons at the top of the message. Help, thank you!

Hello,
I just got the same problem. The list is blocking any access to the mail I want to send. I can at least minimize the window of that mail, allowing me to read and send other mails.
But this is really, really bugging me. I need to send a mail to the alumni of my university program, so I've composed a long mail with a lot of information. Now I can't even copy it to another mail because the message is there, blocking.

This list is too long to be synchronized with SharePoint WorkSpace

Hello,
I Have a List with 30500 items in Sharepoint Site Collections.When I synchronise this Lists using on SharePoint Workspace I get this message " This list is too long to be synchronized with SharePoint WorkSpace".
Someone Can help me.
Best regards,
Fidele

SharePoint Workspace has a maximum limit on lists of 30,000 items. The only way to sync the list you are trying to sync is reduce the number of items in the list. You can see the limit documented here:

Mail: cannot delete unsent messages

Hey! I have the following problem:
1. Added my Imap server to the Mail App.
2. Used the wrong number for the Smtp server
3. wrote my first mail and pressed sent -> mail could not pass of course
4. trying it a second time because I first thought it is a wlan problem
5. Fixed the port number and mails now go out. The error message of old mails nevertheless still pop ups every time I open mail!!!
*My idea to fix it:*
6. Deleted Imap account on the iphone and added it again with working smtp number etc.
7. First email I sent from my new account works
8. Mail app does not make a popup but still displays "2 mails could not be sent" below my inbox messages.
*How can I delete this message?*
Thanks you!

Here is how to do it:
switch on airplane mode in the settings. go to mail and write an email from the account, where the "unsent mail" is stuck. compose a new mail and send it. since you are in airplane mode it is unable to send it and will put it in the "outbox" and make the "outbox" visible. Now there are two mails, the newly composed one and the old stuck one. If all you want ins delete them, just do the swipe-delete (the edit, delete buttons wont work in airplane mode).

How can I delete the purchased books list in iBook?

How can I delete the purchased books list in iBook?

Hi,
Yes you are miss understanding the problem. To clarify. The problem is not how to delete the book from a device, it is how to delete the puchase (i.e. the history). You can hide it in your account settings, but you cannot delete it. So if you buy something on a shared account (i.e. a family account like mine), your children can see and download any of your puchases - forever.
Some will say it's for your protection. A bit like the shop looking after your receipt, so that you cannot lose it.
However, I thought that as part of the data protection act, you could ask for this information kept about you to be deleted, but this doesn't apply to Apple purchases. Believe me I've tried.

How can I delete text messages from my iphone?

Hello everyone,
How can I delete text messages from my iphone? I do not want to reset my iphone setting. If it is nesscary to reset my iphone setting, will I lose everything?
Please let me know,
Thanks,

Just delete them. Or, do you mean beyond just deleting them? Then, you'd need to wipe the phone - select Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. That's a secure wipe of the iPhone contents, takes several hours (connect to AC power). You'll need to set your phone up from scratch (and erase the old backup(s) from your computer, since your SMS history is part of the backup).

To get rid of "pop-up ads and other crap on my computer when I am on the internet", click on Safari in the Menu bar, and select Preferences. Next select Extensions. Delete all of them. Restart Safari.
The first step in addressing the black screen is an SMC reset.
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

Can not delete individual messages on ios8

I can not delete individual messages in iMessage after I "upgraded" to ios8. If you hold down on the message, tap "more", THERE IS NO TRASH CAN ANYWHERE ON THE SCREEN. There is no option I have found anywhere, except to delete the entire conversation. Please help.

Thanks heaps.....the trying to enter a reply, then swiping downward on the keyboard worked. That is the first useful suggestion I've seen for multiple posts with this question, so thank you very much. Hopefully the next update will fix that problem so you don't have to go through the delete process the long way, but happy to use it as a temporary measure in the mean time.
Thanks for taking the time to help.

Why we can't delete multiple message in iphone

Hi,
I have iphone 4S, IOS 5.1.1 . I am wondering for long time why in iphone i can't delete multiple message in a single. This looks to be a very basic requiremnt for most of us i guess. Any idea why it is not supported ? and any guess if it will be available in IOS 6 ?
thanks....
regards,
rubesh

I dont think there is a specific reason for this. If you feel this would be a good new feature, then let apple know. They have a page for feature requests: www.apple.com/feedback

Can not delete text messages without phone freezing when i reset it text messages are back

can not delete text messages without phone freezing when i reset it text messages are back...help taking up a lot of space.

Try this...
Close out all apps (double click the home button and swipe up) then delete one thread. Do a hard reset of the phone or ipad, then wait a few minutes and it should be gone. I just did this with a thread that had thousands of txt and it worked for me. The older phones just don't have much processing power.
