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.

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 -

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/

I have an iPhone 3g that keeps crashing and getting stuck on the apple logo - how can I fix this?

will restoring to factory settings help? Can this be rectified by sending the phone back to apple and it being repaired?

This forum is not staffed by Apple. It is a dialogue with other iPhone owners.

Someone is sending out viruses in my name. I keep getting a message that "theklamccartney38625" is sending me a message. I think this is the person that has accessed my system. What can I do?
Thanks,

When this happens, it may not be your system that is sending out the bad emails. They may have picked up your email address from someone else's Address Book and are sending out emails and spam using forged email headers.
If you or someone you know can get hold of one of the bad emails, view the full headers, and you can sometimes see where it came from. You can try complaining to the ISP that runs that block of addresses.
You may need to "cut-and-paste" the full headers into a new email and send it to the webmaster of the ISP hosting that block of addresses.

I have an iphone 4 that keeps deleting my notes. How can I stop this from happening?

I have an iphone 4 that keeps deleting my notes. How can I stop this from happening? I've had my phone over 2 years and only in the past 2 months has it started deleting notes. Now they are all deleted, but thankfully still in my email, but only on a computer.

I guess he/she open Notes in Gmail settings. This archives (one way sync) notes in gmail account under notes label that is invisible if you are using the standard gmail setup on your iPhone. You can see it on desktop browser, Safari or gmail app in iDevice. Am I wrong?
Sorry for bad English.

Hi,
I have a Folder called "Pictures" (My Pictures seems a bit "Windowsy" to me)
I don't have a Media folder inside there.
It would help to know if this is actually within the iTunes Library
Having said that I tend to use Eric's Method.
Pic of My own Card in the Contacts list
It shows where I have used Faces (from iPhoto) and Defaults (Login pic choices for the Account pic).
My iChat/Messages pic is the same Signature pic as used here and is in the Recents Tab on show.
You can even use the Camera if one is attached (Mac Minis and Mac Pro require External Cameras).
Drag and Drop is my preferred method.

I have an apple iphone 4gs... It is synced with my outlook exchange in the office. If I do a search for emails that also checks the server then all of a sudden I end up with various amounts unread email with the inbox saying "Inbox 71" ..which is not true. The only way to make the inbox on the iphone back to 0 is to delete the account then re install it.
Anyone have any ideas

hi - i have recently upgraded to an iphone and find that when i open my MS Outlook on my computer, the emails that were on the iphone get wiped out. Has anyone got a solution to this problem? I'm sure it's very simple when you know the answer! Thanks.

Pay no attention to iinami, the amount of replies to people saying their handsets must have been jailbroken everytime iTunes throws out an error is tremendous. (Clearly you don't need to have any real knowledge to get to level 3 on these forums, let's hope apple's geniuses know a lot more than some of their customers.)

Solution below.
Error 9
This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

HT5622 If I have two emails for my iMessage how can I see or receive my msj or the email that is not the primary email

If I have two emails for my iMessage how can I see or receive my msj or the email that is not the primary email

It's basically ment for iMessage and FaceTime. I might be wrong but this can only be done between two Apple products that allow this function. You won't receive an email if I sent you an iMessage to a secondary email you use for iMessages. You would only receive a text message. Now if someone using a PC sent an email to the secondary email you use you will receive an email not a text message. The secondary email is used basically if you do not have a data plan and you're connected to wifi you can still send iMessages using those emails you provided.
