Mail:  Still Trying to Send Old Message?

Yesterday, I attempted to send Email with four attached files. Unfortunately, I didn't quite grasp just how huge those files were (a couple GB or so!) before I hit "send" the message. It was unable to send them, not too surprisingly.
So, I deleted that message from the Outbox and created an archive of the huge files, and attempted t send that archive in a different, follow-up message.
The problem is that Mail seems to be still attempting to send the original heyuuuge message. It seems to be queued up somewhere, and I can't seem to figure out where. It doesn't appear in "Drafts," in "Outbox," nor in "Sent," and I don't see the follow-up message with the ZIP archive attached either.
This is MobileMe, if it matters. Probably doesn't matter though, since I'm still able to send from my iPhone, and from the MobileMe website.
Previously, on the bottom left of the window, it showed a transmission rate of ~200KBps, suggesting that it is in fact sending it. Now I don't even see that, although, I do see the spinning thingie by "Sent," and a few other Email messages queued up behind it.
After force-quitting Mail, I see the progress bar again, but it's showing a transfer rate of zero, and also six messages queued up. Hmmm...
Any ideas how I can figure out where the message is queued up, and thus delete it? Is there perhaps some file somewhere with outbox content that I can delete in order to purge all outbox content?
My immediate inclination would be to wait until it comes back again to say that it can't send the message, but since it's not showing the progress indicator anymore, I'm not sure whether it ever will come back. If so, it's certainly taking quite a while. Hmmm...

Ah, never mind. Looks like the problem finally resolved itself. Not sure exactly how, but it seems OK now.

  • Mail re-sends old messages

    old messages (~6 months) get re-sent???

    My mail application is completely screwed up: it
    re-sends old messages to people and it's becoming a
    HUGE problem. It's completely random but it happens
    at least once a day. I'm also having trouble with
    attachments -- i often can't open them (even though
    it's just a file or something).
    I would like to trash the application and just
    re-install it. Does anyone know how to do this?
    The easiest way is to use a program called "Pacifist." It allows individual packages to be installed. Just Google the program name and mac and download it. ($20 shareware and totally worth it)
    Use your original OSX 10.4 install disk and run pacifist and re-install the mail package using Pacifist. Download any updates (ie: OS X 10.4.5 combined) and repeat the process with the updated mail application included in the combination package.
    You will now have a fresh, current install of mail.

    It will time out, if it hasn't already. Delete the message from the Outbox.

  • Mail is sending old messages automatically.

    Mail is sending old messages automatically. It's been doing this for about six months.
    It only happens when open mail.
    How can i stop this. I'm running tiger and have performed all the available software updates.
    Thanks

    First I'd backup your whole Mail folder.
    Try trashing this file first, then logout/in...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
    If that doesn't work try the .plists in...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/

  • While trying to send a message to the receipient outside the domain...

    While trying to send a message to the receipient outside the domain,the server
    sends back the delivery error email message to the sender. this is OK. But for
    some reason the the mail server keeps searching for the wrong recepient and
    sending back the deleivery error email to the sender periodically. In this way,
    it has sent around 450 such messages to my mailbox.
    the mail delivery error looks like this :
    451.. Name Server timeout while searching a.com in DN
    Reporting -MTA;: dns; s-ghq-csc-ocsapp1.tawasul.mil.ae
    Received -From-MTA:DNS;w-anh-sic-004.ANH.mil.ae

    solution ???

    Hi,
    This is apparently the week for integration questions!
    There's no such product as "WebLogic MQ". I assume that what your trying to do is communicate with MQSeries or some other non-WebLogic vendor.
    You cannot use a WebLogic client to communicate with MQ or vice-versa. You must create an MQ client using a MQ JMS connection factory in order to communicate with an MQ destination. Similarly, you must create a WL client using a WL connection factory in order to communicate with a WL destination. This advice applies to any JMS vendor, and is quite similar to the way JDBC drivers work.
    Note that if you're communicating with MQ from a client rather than an application that's running on a WebLogic server, then there's often little purpose in using the "Foreign JMS" mapping facilities (in addition, these facilities may not work on the client for all foreign vendors -- I assume it depends on whether the foreign vendor connection factories and destinations are fully serializable/transferable between JVMs). Instead, you might want to consider using the standard JNDI and JMS APIs to communicate with MQ directly (eg, there's no need to involve WebLogic code in this case).
    For information on integration, see the WebLogic doc for [ Integrating Remote JMS Providers | http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12839_01/web.1111/e13727/interop.htm#JMSPG553 ] and, if the "MQ" your refering to in this case happens to be MQSeries, also see the blog post [Integrating WebSphere MQ 6 with BEA Weblogic Server 10|http://ibswings.blogspot.com/2008/02/integrating-mq-broker-6-with-bea.html].
    Note that the majority of MQSeries integration customer apps that I've run across require "exactly-once" behavior, which means they must run on a WebLogic server (not a client) in order to participate in a WebLogic JTA transaction.
    Hope this helps,
    Tom

  • Mac desktop. trying to send email, message:  SMTP failed?  No new changes to computer.

    Mac desktop, trying to send email, message say-SMTP failed.  No new changes have been made to this Mac.

    iOS does not run on Macs.
    Not knowing your operating system or Mail program we can't give you much detailed help.   Go to Apple menu -> About This Mac to find your Mac OS or Mac OS X version.  If it is an X version, please post in the right forum:
    http://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2463
    SMTP servers are of two types.   Those associated with the internet provider giving you the internet access.  I.e. if you have Verizon FiOS for Fiberoptic internet your SMTP server would be something based on verizon.net.   And those associated with separate web/e-mail host providers if you have a personal website or e-mail provider you chose from before you switched to the current internet access provider.   If the latter, it is possible the internet access provider, in order to prevent being implicated from being the source of spam has decided to enforce port or password authentication on the SMTP server to ensure you aren't a spam bot.  In that event, you'll probably have to check with them if it is better to use port 2626, 2662, or 587, and password authentication.  You may have to check with both e-mail provider and internet access provider.    Usually when you have separate providers doing both, your e-mail address is your username, and password on password authentication is same as checking your e-mail.

  • Network authentication failed error message when trying to send picture messages

    I have a family member who is trying to send picture messages from Dubois, WY.  Verizon's map shows that Dubois is in the extended enhanced services area.  I am guessing that this may be one of those instances where the coverage map is not 100% accurate.  Please let me know if you have any other ideas or suggestions as to what the problem might be or how to resolve it.

    Customers have the ability to take pictures / videos anywhere. However, messages can only be sent, received, or uploaded, while in the Verizon Wireless National Enhanced Services Rate and Extended Network Coverage Area.
    Try dialing *228 send and option 2 to update the PRL on the phone.  Updating the PRL or Preferred Roaming List, ensures the phone is getting the best service possible.  
    You can also check the coverage area at the link below:

    It is not available in Mail any longer (for quite a while, now).
    You can add a rule to have Mail mark them as junk, or you could possibly log onto your Email provider's web site and block that address.
