Mail Stuck In Iphone Outbox

I was trying to forward a mail by moving it to my "drafts" box and forgot to change the sender info before pressing "send", the mail is now stuck in the "outbox" which i cannot access because it does not show up on my .Mac acount mailbox list, and everytime i open mail i get an alert about it....how annoying...
Can anyone help me get rid of this annoying e-mail in limbo?

Yes.
In order to respond to your question, I turned off the wifi and had an email sent to me. I received it immediately. I am still able to receive mail using the Cellular.
When turned the WiFi back on again, I began to get the error messages again:
"Cannot Get Mail": The mail server "imap.gmail.com" is not responding. Verify that you have entered the correct account info in Mail settings."
The iPhone was working prior to turning off the wifi. The last changes I made to the settings were these:
On the iPhone, the iCloud account settings are standard. The Gmail account is set as follows: Settings/Mail, Contacts, Calendars/Accounts/Gmail/Advanced/Incoming Settings/Use SSL = On/IMAP Path Prefix/="blank"/Server Port = "993".
I also went to the Gmail internet account, ensured IMAP was enabled.
I disabled POP.
I followed the configuration instructions for setting up the iPhone and Apple Mail at the bottom of the gmail settings page: "Configure your email client (e.g. Outlook, Thunderbird, iPhone)"
It was left alone for a while with only Cellular turned on and WiFi off. During that time, the mailboxes repopulated themselves as they were prior to my deleting the accounts, and there was new mail in the inboxes.
It also aligned my iPhone gmail mailbox to match the setup of my online gmail account, including labeled folders.
RE: Mac
I was and am still having problems with Apple Mail, even when the iPhone was working properly (receiving mail via WiFi and Cellular).
Connection Doctor keeps telling me to turn off SSL, but I cannot seem to make the setting stick if I choose Server Port 993. After changing it to port 143, I was able to save it without it reverting to "Use SSL" being checked "on". It's still not working.
Thank you.

Unsent e-mail stuck in iPhone 3G forever

Is there a way to clear unsent messages? I don't see an outbox and iPhone tries to send the message even if the address is wrong. I had to delete and recreate all my email accounts in order to clear it the last time. Now it happened again. It is constantly tries to send it, it is so annoying!!

Hi
Possible solution - has anyone tried out mobileme, deactivated - but not deleted the account from their iphone? I had a stcuk message which was infuriating me. I had deactivated the mobileme account but not completely deleted it - and it appears that had caused the problems - as once deleted - no more unsent messages!
The strangest thing was that I hadnt even tried sending any messages via my mobileme account around the time the message appeared!
Hope this helps someone, anyone...

Mail stuck in outbox. Mac locks up

I know there is a known issue with mail and there are numerous threads on the mail memory leak. I am amazed a core app like mail has been neglected by apple for so long but anyway.   I have a mail stuck in the outbox and cannot get rid of it due to the memory leak. Within a few seconds of launching mail the app hogs 10gig of ram and counting which doesn't give me change to get to the offending message. I cannot rebuild mailboxes either. I have been told it might be a gmail issue but I cannot do a thing once I click the dreaded mail icon. Any pointers would be appreciated

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 and start typing the name.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
          SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then launch Mail and wait for it to do whatever it's doing. Select any lines that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.

Why am I unable to send e mails from my IPhone or IPad and get message rejected from outgoing server, message placed in outbox

Why am I unable to send e mails from my iPhone, and get message rejected by server and message put in outbox. I have tried changing server ports but to no avail. I am not very technically minded so any suggestions in laymans terms please. This is a big problem as I work away frequently and need to answer e mails. This also happens when at home and on my own wifi.

Outlook 2013 / Exchange 2013 : Shared mailboxes - Mail stuck in outbox (non-cached), Mail sends but doesn't get received (cached).

Hello,
We are currently experiencing some weird behaviour in Outlook 2013 since we added Shared Mailboxes.
When we run Outlook 2013 with cached mode
enabled:
- I create a new e-mail and send it.
- The e-mail goes to the outbox, and get's 'send'.
- None of the recipients receives the e-mail.
When we run Outlook 2013 with cached mode
disabled:
- I create a new e-mail and send it.
- The e-mail goes to the outbox, but remains there.
Now to make things even more bizarre:
When I switch from 'cached'-mode to 'non cached'-mode, I see all the e-mail that were 'send' in cached-mode stuck in the outbox.
Note: The DNS server configuration in Exchange is correct.

Hi,
How about sending on OWA? Does the issue exist?
To troubleshoot the issue, let's run Outlook in Safe Mode to determine if 3rd-party add-ins are related:
Press Win + R and type “outlook.exe /safe” in the blank box, then press Enter.
If there’s no problem sending emails in Safe Mode, disable the suspicious add-ins to verify which add-ins caused this issue.
Please also disable the firewall and anti-virus program to send the emails again, in many scenarios the protection may cause the issue.
Please also keep Exchange and Outlook patched to the latest.

Outlook 2013 mail stuck in Outbox

We just started using Outlook 2013 and Exchange 2013 (Fresh install) but we got a problem with additional mailboxes.
When you open additional mailboxes on your exchange account settings where you have send as permissions and full access and then send an e-mail from that mailbox it stays in the outbox. Sending an e-mail in owa works fine from the mailbox.
What can this be?

We need to try basic steps for this mail stuck in outbox issue as below:
Work offline, move the stuck mail into another folder. Restart Outlook and Work online to send it again.
Temporarily uninstall or disable firewall and antivirus software.
Test in Outlook safe mode.
Create a new profile and re-setup your account.
Let me know the resualt. Thanks.

Can't send emails on my yahoo mail account. gets stuck in the outbox. tried deleting and reinstalling but it didn't work., can't send emails on my yahoo mail account. gets stuck in the outbox. tried deleting and reinstalling but it didn't work.

every time i try to send an email from my yahoo mail account it gets stuck in the outbox. i have tried reinstalling my email account but it doesnt work

Have you tried setting up your Yahoo account using Mac Mail instead of dealing with web based mail?
It only takes a minute to set this up.
Open Mac Mail. From the menu bar top of your screen click Mail > Preferences then select the Accounts tab then the Account Information tab.
Click +
Enter your name, Yahoo user name and password, click Create.
If you'd rather not do that, it would help to tell us which Mac OS X you have installed and which version of Safari in your reply.

Mails are stuck in the outbox after an offline period

Hi!
I am often writing e-mail while I'm offline, e.g. on planes, buses etc.
Then when I get back online I kinda expect the Mail App to send these mails instantly. However it does not do that. The mails are stuck in the outbox for up to 15-20 minutes after I get back online. The e-mails I have received while being offline are downloaded instantly as they should be. And if I then write new e-mails after getting back online they just get stuck in the same queue together with the other stuck e-mails.
Is there a fix for this? Do you experience the same? It is really annoying and making wonder if I should get another Mail App.
I have just installed the new Yosemite and I was hoping it had fixed the problem. But it hasn't...
I am working on a MacBook Pro 2013.
Thanks!

iOS does not run on MacBook Pros.
Drag the message to Draft mailbox and ensure the recipient is correctly addressed and send.

MAIL STUCK IN OUTBOX WHEN USING DELEGATE MAILBOX IN CACHED EXCHANGE

We have an Exchange 2013 Environment . If any users mount an additional mailbox and outlook is using Cached Mode, e-mail starts
to become stuck in the outbox. We currently have no fix, other than to remove the mounted mailbox.

Hi,
From your description, I recommend you follow the steps below to disable download shared folders and check the result.
Open Outlook -> File -> Account Settings -> More Settings -> Advanced -> uncheck "Download shared folders".
If the issue persists, I recommend you use Outlook safe mode to determine whether the problem is caused by add-ins.

Mail stuck in outbox after update

After I updated the OS today, all my email messages are stuck in the outbox of Entourage. It was working fine before the update, and I didn't change any of the settings. Any thoughts?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Mail that gets stuck in the outbox usually can't find the SMTP server to send the messages to. Verify that the SMTP server you are sending to hasn't gone down, and if you are using password authentication that it hasn't forgotten your password. If you aren't connecting to the internet via the internet service provider who gives you the SMTP server, it may be blocked unless you specific a port to send the message through. 2626 and 587 are the most common alternative ports, though your internet service provider may have another. If using Exchange, check and see if you can send messages using an Exchange account with Mail.

Mail Stuck in Outbox: Macbook OS 10.6.8 w/ Mail 4.6

I've got a MacBook with OS 10.6.8 running Mail 4.6 to three different e-mail accounts and everything was working just fine.
Starting yesterday, mail will come in, but mail won't go out to any of the three accounts. All my outgoing e-mail gets stuck in my Outbox.
Can't find similar problems in forums.
Any thoughts?
Thanks-

You can still upgrade to OS X 10.7 Lion.
system requirements for OS X Lion and Mac OS X v10.6.
OS X Lion system requirements
To use Lion, make sure your computer has the following:
An Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
Mac OS X v10.6.6 or later to install via the Mac App Store (v10.6.8 recommended); you can install without Mac OS X v10.6 by using an OS X Lion USB Thumb Drive, available on the Apple Online Store
7 GB of available disk space
2 GB of RAM
If your Mac does not meet these requirements, you will need to upgrade your Mac before installing Lion.
You can purchase an email code to download and install Lion from the Mac App Store.
http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6106Z/A/os-x-lion
I would advise installing more RAM into your MacBook as versions of OS X after Snow Leoaprd really require, at least 4 GBs of RAM.
Your MacBook year and model can take a total of 6 GBs of RAM.
I'd advise purchasing and installing the full 6 GBs of RAM.
Correct and reliable Mac RAM can be purchased from online Mac RAM sourceOWC (macsales.com).
They are the only RAM seller that have the 6 GB RAM kit for your MacBook.
Good Luck!

Second Exchange account mail stuck in outbox

Hello Everyone,
I have a strange issue. Nor me or my colleagues are able to wrap our heads around it.
We have an exchange account for our Value Added Services (VAS). I've added this mail account as a second exchange account to the outlook 2013 profile for the employees. However the problem is that all mails they sent are stuck in the outbox. And this happens
only for the VAS mailbox.
1 User however doesn't face this issue, when that user sends a mail it is directly sent to the person. That user is currently responsible for cleaning up the outbox.
The mail setup is as follows:
1. Personal Mailbox - Exchange
2. VAS Mailbox - Exchange
3. QA mailbox - Exchange
4. P&G mailbox - Second mailbox (read only access)
They all work fine except the VAS mailbox.
Other relevant information:
They connect to our RDS (SRV 2012) farm and start Outlook 2013 trough remoteapp.
Their PC is running W7
We are using Exchange 2010 with the latest updates.
Any clues/ideas as why this could be happening? And why only the VAS mailbox has that issue?
In my testing i once setup the same mailbox structure locally, and this setup worked.
Thanks in advance.
Kind Regards,
Niek

Hi,
I recommend you try to use OWA to check if there is the same issue.
Open another user's mailbox or a resource mailbox from Outlook Web App
You must have Full Access permission for the mailbox that you want to open to perform this procedure.
Sign in to Outlook Web App.
At the top of the Outlook Web App window, click the drop-down arrow next to your mailbox name, and then click the
Open Other Mailbox window.
Enter the name of the mailbox that you want to open, and then click Open.
Thanks.

E-mails stuck in Outbox folder

Hi,
we have more then 10.000 users with associated Exchange mailboxes in our organization. System is based on Exchange 2010 and Outlook 2007/2010. 95% of all users have the latest Office Service Pack.
50-60% of users have very strange problem: a couple of already sent mails are stored in Outbox folder too. Users with Outlook in Cached mode cannot see stucked mail in Outbox folder. Users with OWA Access or Outlook Online (withoud cached mode) can see it in
Outbox. It's not acceptable to change their Offline mode into Online and manually delete mails --> we need something smarter.
Can you please help me with this issue?
thank you in advance.
regards!

Hi,
According to your description, the sent email is randomly stuck in the outlook with online mode. Thus, the issue may be related to performance. We can use performance monitor to check it:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd335215(v=exchg.141).aspx
And it’s not recommended to use online mode for all users which can bring performance issue.
Additionally, we can use retention policy to delete messages in outbox:
Understanding Retention Tags and Retention Policies:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd297955(v=exchg.141).aspx
Apply a Retention Policy to Mailboxes:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd298052(v=exchg.150).aspx
please note that it may bring the risk of deleting some emails that haven’t sent out.
Thanks,
