How do I delete an outgoing email that keeps crashing Mail? I sent it out to too many recipients.

I tried to send the email to 326 reciepients and got an error message that Gmail couldn't send it. When I tried to close the email, It won't close. I followed one comment that said to get off the internet and re-launch Mail again. I tried that and it didn't work because the outgoing email kept coming up. It will not allow me to force quit either. I have also tried closing down and reopening the system - still no luck.  Please help. Thanks in advance.

Try launching Mail after disconnecting from the Internet,, or find that .emlx file in the Finder & trash it.
Folder somewhere in...
Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/

  • TS3276 How do I delete a large email that has crashed my mail system?

    I have sent an email that is too large, and appears to have crashed the mail system. I have accidentally done this before, and got help from the call centre (they are closed today) but cannot remember how to fix the problem by deleting the large outgoing meassage. 
    How do I delete that message from the computer?

    Try sending it in the Apple Mail program. I just did that. It has a provision for sending large files through the cloud.
    Following are the instructions. It's easy -

  • I have a draft email that keeps crashing the Mail program.  How do I delete the draft before the program locks up?

    I have a draft email that has an attachment that keeps crashing Mail.  How do I delete the draft before it locks up the program with the spinning color wheel?

    Assuming you're using some IMAP mail service, disconnect from the internet first and quit Mail
    Next, click on Finder, choose 'Go' in the menubar and hold down the 'option' key. Choose 'Library' from the menu.
    Navigate to
    Mail/V2/Mailboxes
    In there you'll see some folders called things like IMAP-{yourEmailAddress.com} for each email address you have. In each one there is a Drafts folder. Locate the correct one and delete the file.
    Do NOT restart Mail, but open your internet connection, go to your web-based email through your browser and delete the draft from there too.
    Now you can restart Mail. Choose 'Rebuild' from the Mailbox menu in the menubar.

  • How do I delete a incorrect email address I typed in a sent email from the suggested email list when I start typing again?

    How do I delete a incorrect email address I typed in a sent email from the suggested email address list when I start typing again?

    You can't. There is no way to eliminate those remembered addresses in the mail app. Eventually if you keep ignoring that address it will go away, but it can take some time before it disappears. The only way that you can eliminate now, is by restoring the iPad to factory settings and that's pretty radical just to get rid of a mistyped email address - IMO anyway.

  • How do I set my outgoing email up to send mails I've entered the correct settings but still to no avail

    Hi  there folks I cannot send emails from my phone , I can however receive them, my network provider is eircom I have entered the outgoing mail settings as suggested on the eircom site but still to no avail? any suggestions grealy appreciated, Des,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

    With an internet connection, receiving email with the correct settings should not be a problem, but sending email can be a problem depending on the internet service provider being used for your internet connection at the time and if the email account provider does not have an authenticated SMTP server.
    Most, if not all internet service providers block the use of SMTP servers that are outside of their network or not provided by the ISP being used for your internet connection at the time unless the SMTP server is authenticated.

  • How do i uninstall and reinstall software that keeps crashing upon opening?

    big problems with NEAT software. no answer at company. aint no apple.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

  • Too many recipients in email

    I get fax from Myfax via email, so I added my eprint email address to the list of emails on Myfax receive preferences. I get the fax to the yahoo email but not to my eprint email. When I check on ePrint Center it says 
    "Too many recipients in email" any idea how to solve this issue.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    Auto forwarding of emails to ePrint server will not work.  If you are using this Auto Forwarding feature provided by yahoo. you need to manually forward the email to ePrint. Make sure that there are no extra email ID's in TO, CC or BCc

  • How do I delete an old email account that's associated with my Apple account? When trying to activate my Apple account my old email keeps popping

    How do I delete an old email account that's associated with my Apple ID? When trying to login on to my Apple account with my  ipad2 the old email account is still tagged as the primary account.

    OK that's what Ithought you were talking about.
    You can't actually delete an old Apple ID. You just sign into the new ID to use that one. Your old ID must be popping up because you used it in the past to purchase content with it. You cannot transfer purchases from one Apple ID to another Apple ID. You have to continue to use the old ID if you want to update content that was used to purchase with that ID.
    Did you sign into your new account in the settings and you can't stay signed in?

  • How can I delete my iCloud email accounts?

    How can I delete my iCloud email accounts? I no longer own any apple devices and find that the email is at best unreliable. Also, I am having to deal with a good portion of daily tasteless spam content at the original @me.com address. As I no longer have any apple devices I wouldn't mind having the whole iCloud account deleted. I have already erased all of my information from the icloud.com site.

    Then that is all you can do.
    You currently can not delete an iCloud account.
