Cancelling a "Sending Mail" deleted the pending mail.

Hello,
I wrote a mail then clicked "Send".
I then realized I missed to add something in my mail and quickly went to the "Acivity Viewer" window and clicked the Stop icon to cancel the sending.
Result :
My mail disappeared. It is no longer in Draft folder nor in Sending folder. The mail is lost. I know it was sent as receipient told me so.
Configuration :
.Mac mail account configured as IMAP. SMTP server set to the .Mac one.
Assumption :
- The mail was already sent when I clicked Stop icon.
- Apple Mail software was "Moving to OUT folder" my mail when I clicked Stop Icon.
- Canceling the "'Moving to OUT folder" succesfuly cancelled operation and that's why I can't find my mail in the OUT folder.
- But the mail was certainly already removed from the DRAFT folder and sending folder :o(
This is a really annoying bug
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Although there is a "stop" icon available with the Activity Viewer window, this is not reliable for stopping the sending process of a message and the same with any email client.
When I'm composing an important message - a new message or when replying to a received message, I don't enter any recipients for a new message and I remove the sender's email address from the To: field when replying to a received message just in case I accidentally select Send for the message until I sure and ready to send it.
Do you store Sent messages on the server or locally on the hard drive for your .Mac account?

Delete the pending transactions failinvia automatic Mass Appraisal creation

Hi all,I have appraisals not appearing in the Managers list.This appraisal is due om 01-May-2012.When I saw the reason ,I find the Mass Appraisal creation did not run.The reason being there were pending transactions.Our Appraisals are set for automatic run. The parameter to delete is Yes.I increased the MAX errors to 100000 but still I get error.Please suggest what to do?Is there a script or API which I can use to delete these pending transactions?

Make sure the appraisals section of the plan is set to 'employee initiates'. Otherwise the manager has to initiate.
If that is set OK, I have seen problems before with the 'backout' option on generate appraisals. Check MetaLink because I think a fix was produced for it.

IPhone 6 plus- how to delete some of the texts feeds in a conversation from a sender without deleting all texts from sender?

How can you delete some of the text messages from a sender without deleting the entire conversation from that sender? After selecting the message or messages...the top left option is "delete all" and the top right says "cancel". I simply want to save some of the history of the texts and delete those that are no longer needed.

Hey Mari7Can,
Thanks for the follow up. Hmmm…the options should have shown at the bottom of the screen. Let’s try forcing the Messages application to close and restarting your phone:

I am unable to send mail on my IPad because the iPad ignores the single correctly configures outgoing server and instead looks for long since deleted outgoing server which is not listed in my settings at all.

Some time ago I used to use an outgoing mail server, which I will call 'XYZ'. However I changed email providers and now have a new outgoing server which I will call 'ABC'. I tried deleting that old outgoing server when I changed email providers but had problems doing so. So what I did was completely delete all email accounts from my iPad and then reinstalled the two new email accounts from scratch, complete with the new outgoing server 'ABC'. That appeared to be successful, and I can receive email OK. Also the new server 'ABC' is the ONLY outgoing server listed in my settings on either account
However despite the new server being the only one in my settings the iPad will not send mail and shows an error message saying that the settings for the OLD server 'XYZ' are incorrect. I cannot amend or delete that server as it has already been deleted and is not listed in my settings.
It is like the iPad is somehow still remembering that old server and thinks it's the primary one. Or it's getting old server info fron iCloud or something.
My iPhone has the same two email accounts and identical settings and does not have this issue.
Any ideas, other than a complete factory reset?
Many thanks
Rob

Not sure about yahoo, but for gmail, I done the following:
Set up using Exchange on iPhone, it'll keep prompting for password. On PC use captcha option, log in to gmail account from PC after completingg captcha option, enter password on iPhone.
See how that goes for gmail, let us know.
Hopefully someone will have fix for yahoo.

I utilise Entourage for my mails. When I tip a mail adress and write a wrong one, I change. When I will send again a mail to the same adress the wrong and good one appears both. How can I delete the wrong one

Question is here above but more details here under
I use Entourage as Mail sender. I don't use the adress book.
When I tip a wrong adress and make the correction, the old one stays in the memory of my computer ( apple I Mac ).
When I wish to send a new message to the same adress, the wrong one appears in the same time , and some time I don't remember wich is the good one .
To avoid that problem, how can I delete the wrong adress for future sending of mails.

Solution, use Apple Mail
I can highly recommend migrating to the Address Book. You won't have the typo'ed history in your email.

I have 2 email addresses set up on my iphone 5, 1 can send mail and the other can't... have tried deleting and adding the account, no luck, have tried all suggestions... anyone help?

I have recently purchased the iphone 5S and have two AOL email accounts set up on it. They could both receive and send mail on the first day, but from the second day only 1 can send mail (both still receive). I get an message saying "Unable to send mail. A copy has been placed in your Outbox. Sending the message content to the server failed." This has been the response now for 3 days and suddenly this morning, I was able to send an email from this account, but only the one and now it's back to that same message. I have deleted and added the account again, using various methods. I even reset my phone and set it all up again from beginning with no luck. It is very frustrating and I am unsure why I can't send from both accounts, especially being that they are the same provider. I have read forums and it appears many have this same problem and I wondered if anyone has had it recently on this phone and how they fixed it. Someone said just use the AOL app to send from this account, yes that can be done, but it's inconvenient having to sign in all the time when i have a mail app that should work automatically. Any suggestions would be welcomed!!

I am not sure if this issue is going to help you but lets give it a try.
I know that where im from, which is the Netherlands, I am not able to sent e-mails from my iPhone or any other mobile device by using 3G or a random WIFI acces point. The provider only allowes you to sent e-mails when you are connected to a network of there own. Which means if you have provider "101" and your email settings are set up for this provider in your iPhone but your using the network of a friend of yours which is provider "202" you cannot sent emails from his network. Though you can receive them you may not sent.
As I said, I am not aware if this issue is the same for you totaly depents on the country and provider your using.

I have deleted the item multiple times both on my Mac mini and my touch and 5 minutes later it is back in my Junk mailbox. The item will not return to the Junk mailbox until it is deleted from the trash.

My mail has frozen with basketball appearing. I think this is due to my attempt to send a home movie as an attachment. I need to delete the attachment but I get message that it cannot be deleted 'at this time'. The wheel has been revolving for two days.

I can work around by restarting my Mac but must not touch my mail where the message sits as a draft. I am unable to send mail.
Please how may I get rid of theemail and attachment?
Thanks

How do I change the address that my iphone sends when i send mail. I have deleted the account but it still shows up as the account that will be replyed to if people hit reply.

Hey There I didn't need to change it as it shows my correct name in my icloud account. The problem is on my Mac where it still shows my Full name as my partners name.
For eg. if I send an email from "Mail" on mac and I use my icloud account then the name that shows up is my partners name when the email is received. If I send an email from the Icloud Mail box that I log into on my browser then the name that shows up when the email is received is my name which is correct.
When I go into preferences in "Mail" on my Mac to change my name, the name is ghosted out and doesn't allow me to change it ! ? It is here that it still show my partners name ?

My e-mail account is sending out spam mails; how can i delete the virus?

My e.mail account is sending out spam mails; I have got a spam virus probably during download of my e.mails over the i phone. How can i detect and delete the virus?

You do not have a virus on your Mac or iPhone.
An AOL account is accessed as an IMAP account with the Mail app or email client on your Mac, and with the iPhone's Mail app. The sent spam messages being available in the account's Sent mailbox means your AOL account has been compromised.
Change the password for your AOL email account.

Cancelling a "Sending Mail" deleted the pending mail.
