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).

  • Have to Force quit Mail & cannot delete certain messages

    I know some folks have already posted about this, but I've yet to find a solution. My mail continues to download the same, previously deleted messages each time I open it. I also have to force quit mail to leave it. It will download new mail from my .mac account while in this condition but will not access my other sympatico mail account. In order to get new mail I have to force quit and reopen the app. I've considered the 'rebuild mailbox' option but all of these annoying messages are in my inbox and there appears to be no 'rebuild' function for the inbox. I've also tried going into my library and manually moving these files to the trash and restarting mail. They appear again. Can someone please offer me a solution to this problem. All I can think of doing now is getting rid of Leopard to go back to Tiger mail.
    Thanks

    Hold the phone. This, apparently, may be a Bell Sympatico server issue after all. I've tried to get in contact with their support people and the message says that they've been having problems. Also, my wife, who only uses .mac mail recieved the same email (that keeps popping up in my inbox) and has had no issues. I retrieved my mail using my newer imac as well and the same problem occured there. Hence, it is probably not an app issue, but a server issue.
    Thanks all for your help. Hopefully I can resolve this with Sympatico.

  • HT201320 lost bottom banner when open "mail" cannot delete e-mails?

    lost bottom banner when open "mail" cannot delete e-mails?

    Close the mail app. Then double tap on the home button to bring up the multi-tasking bar. Swipe upwards on the mail app. Reset the phone. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. Once the phone reboots, try opening mail and see if this returns.

  • I cannot delete the messages from my mailbox

    I cannot delete any messages from my mailboxes. Please help

    If you are using the native Apple email app you should be able to swipe to the left and delete. If you can't then remove and reinstall the email account. If that does work
    Try a Restart.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Resetting your settings
    You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
    Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.
    Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

  • Mail crashes and cannot delete outgoing message with large attachment

    Tried to send an email with too large an attachment. Now it is stuck in Outgoing Mail. I cannot delete it. It just causes the spinning ball and then eventually mail crashes. I need a way to delete the outgoing message. Any ideas would be appreciated.

    Try this:
    1. Quit Mail if it’s running.
    2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/.
    3. Locate Outbox.mbox and move it to the Trash.
    4. Open Mail. A new (empty) Outbox.mbox will be created automatically.
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. That is, ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder, i.e. /Users/username/Library.

  • Mail says '1 unsent message' though there is no message to be sent?

    iPhone 3GS, 3.1.2 installed and all else working properly at the moment.
    Mail program (Mobile Me) says '1 unsent message' though there is no message waiting to be sent.
    Am concerned and wanting to fix this because it is draining my battery 1% a minute it seems.
    What do I need to do?
    Have tried removing and re-installing. Unsure what else to try?
    It is my understanding it works in sync with Mobile Me as well as my macbook mail app. I have no mail that needs to be sent on either.
    Any help anyone can offer would be so greatly appreciated.
    Thank 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.

  • 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.

  • Mail.app - Delete all messages in mailboxes

    I have a POP account whose mailboxes show up under ON MY MAC in Mail.app. Say, I have the following mailbox and its submailboxes:
    Mailbox1
      submailbox1 (containing 50 messages)
      submailbox2 (containing 20 messages)
      submailbox100 (containing 34 messages)
    It is tedious, to say the least, to go into each of the 100 submailboxes, select all messages, and delete them. Is there a way (e.g., Terminal command) to delete all messages in these submailboxes at once?

    Brett,
    I'm assuming you're running Exchange on-box with Unity as voice mail only solution? You can still get to OWA from the Unity server. Or, if Exchange is off-box, you can still get to OWA from on the Exchange server.
    Just type in localhost/exchange this should bring up the OWA interface for you.

    Back up all data. Rebuild the mailbox. Try again to delete the message.

  • 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!

  • "Mail" cannot delete mails on my mac

    This is about the application "Mail".
    Besides the mailboxes, mail will also list "ON MY MAC" at side bar. Inside each mail account, there will be "All Mail", "Drafts", ... associated with this mail account. The question is that I cannot delete emails in "All Mail". I deleted some emails, then after about 10 minutes, you can see those emails are brought back to "All Mail". I have no idea what have causing those. All I want to do is to delete some ad, some spam emails in my GMAIL account, but those deleted emails (in ON MY MAC -> mail account -> "All Mail") are back agin, agin, and again. This is so annoying! Does anyone know how to deail with this?

    Try turning the account off and on : Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars , then tap the account on the right, slide Mail to 'off', exit settings and go back into the Mail app, and then go back to Settings and slide Mail back to 'on'
    If that doesn't work then try closing the Mail app completely : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    Also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

    I am trying to clear off some text message from iPhone 6. After deleting a few messages at a time, phone stops giving me the option to delete individual messages at which point I then have to restart the phone in order to delete more messages. How do I fix this?
