Cannot delete email sitting in "drafts" - at all

Hi. Goofy problem. A month ago I tried to send an inappropriately large email to a friend. It was just too big (IDK what I was thinking). It didn't get sent and now just sits in my 'drafts' folder. I am not able to delete it. I can't figure out where to find it in the bowels of my iMac TO delete from Finder.
Can anyone tell me how to get rid of this goofy stuck email? I'd really appreciate it.

Try mailing the draft to yourself, and then deleting it from your inbox. This is a Leopard bug - I don't know if it has been fixed in the latest update.

  • I cannot delete emails on iphone 5

    I cannot delete emails on my iphone5. I do not have the delete button visable either while trying to delete on email on batch.

    Not clear what you are asking,  There is no "batch" delete option for the Inbox - all emails have to be deleted individually.  Only the Trash folder has a "Delete All" button shown after touching "Edit"
    To delete individual emails, swipe finger across the preview and "Delete" will show, or select "Edit" on top right and select each one you want to delete.

  • Cannot delete emails: no circle to check for delete

    More often than not I cannot delete emails from my iPhone.  When I choose edit no circle appears to allow me to delete emails.
    Any advice is appreicated.

    You can also delete the messages by swiping your finger to the right and the delete button should appear. However, if the way to delete is not appearing when you touch the edit button, you need to try some troubleshooting steps.
    First, power the iPhone off/on. See if that fixes it.
    If not, then reset the iPhone. Do this by holding the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo, then release. After the iPhone restarts, try again.
    If not, then a restore is next. Restore from a backup in iTunes. If no better, then restore as a new iPhone.
    The reset has no affect on your data. A restore from backup does not affect data, however restoring as a new phone will delete everything off the phone. You will have to resync all of your data back to the phone.

    The history option is the little clock icon at the bottom of the Bookmarks menu - the icon in the center between the open book and the eye glasses icons. You don't have that? Try closing Safari and see if the history option comes back
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    You can also clear the history in Settings>Safari>Clear History.

    Ask Apple to re-enable it. I had an unauthorized purchase last October. They disabled my account until the problem was solved. However, I asked them to reopen it, and they just asked me to provide some security information (billing address, a recent purchase you made, etc.), and then they re-enabled it.

  • I cannot delete emails I have a iphone 3GS running IOS 6.0.1

    I cannot delete emails, I have an iphone 3GS runningIOS 6.0.1. I tap edit and the red circle appears, but no delete rectangle or dustbin appears

    AT&T does not issue unlock codes for iPhones.  I had to think a minute, because I never had a 3GS myself, and thought it might have been different for them, but my daughter had one, and the unlock process is the same as for the 4.  After AT&T approves the unlock (which means the contract has been fulfilled), they notify Apple.  AT&T then sends the phone's owner an email detailing the process to unlock the phone, which consists of backing up the data, then restoring the phone as new in iTunes (which is where the unlock comes in), then restoring the data backup and then syncing.  I went through this to unlock my AT&T iPhone 4.  SO, I'm not sure what the unlock code business is about, except that it doesn't sound legit.

  • Cannot delete emails in Thunderbird

  • Firefox cannot load email site without failure

    I try to log in to email site and receive an authentication failed message. This started happening when I updated to Firefox 5.0 and 5.0.1. The problem does not happen on Internet Explorer. I never had this problem with the previous versions of Firefox. Is there a way to fix this or go back to Firefox 4.0? I prefer to use this browser, but if the problem persists I will change to Internet Explorer or Google Chrome.

    Hello Karen.
    Try clearing your browsing cache on Firefox: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+clear+the+cache
    If that doesn't help, try deleting your email's cookies (no data will be lost): https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Deleting+cookies
    If that doesn't help, it's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
    If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.

  • Cannot delete emails in Mail

    Hey everyone, since I upgraded to Mavericks I just cannot delete the emails I need. Some advices say to delete the account and create the same again, but it does not work in my case. Could you help me please? Thank you very much

    This does not answer/solve the OP's question/problem as they would still have to select each email individually before selecting the "delete all" button. In the end this the same as selecting "delete" on each message individiually.
    There is no practical way to do what the OP wants.

  • HT203261 Cannot delete emails

    I was seeking Ford car agents in Tenerife clicked onto Ford U S A started to get unwanted emails that I cannot delete
    I opened first email to unsubscribe got more emails still can't delete

    Here a couple of basic type fixes that may work - and they may not work either - but they are easy to try. If you made sure that you have the mailbox set up correctly, maybe a reset will help - or quitting the mail app, restarting and then trying again.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    To quit the mail app. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus (-) sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    The last thing that I can think of that you can try is to delete the email account and then add it back onto the iPad. Sometimes this is the best thing to try with email accounts on the iPad, if the issue will not go away.

  • TS4083 I lost the tool bar on the bottom my 4s I phone, and now I cannot delete emails

    I lost the ability to delete emails on my 4s I phone the tool bar at the bottom is missing

    This happened to me as well, the mail toolbar disappeared. I had an Exchange mail account that seemed to cause the problem. I went into the General settings under the Mail, Contacts, and Calendars; turned all the setttings under the Exchange account from 'ON' to 'OFF', which fixed it. Then I went back in and re-activated the Exchange account. It fixed the issue for me. Good luck!

    Could someone please let me know how to remedy this problem I am having with

    Hello, Joe. 
    I would recommend closing any open applications in multitasking and restarting the device.  If unfamiliar with multitasking, I have included an article that walks you through the process of an application close.  Test the results after processing these steps.

  • Cannot Delete Email Messages after Update

    After installing the newest OS update I cannot delete my email messages using the delete keyboard button or using the onscreen options.  The delete screen does open up but the delete option is greyed out.  I am able to delete messages by using select more and then delete.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I have the same problem affecting 3 different email accounts on my q10, one of which is a corporate account requiring IT support to reinstall. This solution is not practical for me. Any better ideas? I knew I shouldn't have done the upgrade. Another reason to regret not switching to an iPhone!
