Tried to send too large a message - mail now not working

Hi,
We have a problem. We tried to send a message containing a number of high res. pictures from our .mac account. Clearly this was far too big to send. The message has not appeared in the sent box but is not shown in an outbox. We now keep getting an error message:
"Mail has undone actions on some messages so that you can redo the actions while online. Mail has saved other messages in mailbox “Drafts (Mac Account)” in “On My Mac” so that you can complete the actions while online.
Additional information: The connection to the server “mail.mac.com” on port 993 timed out."
Every time we get this message a copy of the email we tried to send appears in a drafts folder in 'on my mac'
We are not receiving emails onto the computer now although I have checked on my mobile me account and they are coming through fine to that - they are just not being downloaded to our computer.
How do I stop mail trying to send this email and where can i find it to do it. I considered deleting the account and re setting it up but we have loads of emails in our inbox and sent box that we don't want to lose.
Can anyone help?
Thank you

Greetings,
Don't even think about deleting accounts; it won't solve the problem and it will create a bigger problem for you.
If the mail is in your Drafts folder as the error message said, first you should look in Home/Library/Mail/<the name of your mobileme account>/Drafts.mbox/Messages and delete the message from there if you see it. Also check your online MobileMe account to see if there's a copy there and delete it, too.
Then try restarting Mail to see if your mail will start downloading to your Mac again.

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

HT201365 my text to send messages is now not working correctly after upgrading

Since upgrading last week my text is not working correctly it is very slow does not show the letter being used and takes seconds to be put in

Looking into the Diagnostics and Usage Reports in 'Settings' -> 'General' -> 'About' I see nine different "ExcResource_MobileMail_DATE" reports. Looking at the report I see a SysInfoCrashReport that indicates that the CPU was pegged at over 50% (mostly over 75%) for over 180 seconds using the MobileMail app.
I also see a "MobileMail_DATE" report that indicates that there was an 'Exception raised during monitored invocation of _loadMoreMessagesWithMaxVisibleIndexPath:maximumIndexPathsBySource:, exception: ** -[__NSArrayM objectAtIndex:]: index 4294967295 beyond bounds for empty array"
And finally I see three "stacks+MobileMail-DATE" reports with "Power assertion timeout for 'com.apple.message.fetchMobileSynchronously...' Simply resetting it now." and "Power assertion timeout for 'com.apple.mobilemail.messagebodyloader' Simply resetting it now" reports.
I updated to iOS 7.0.4 and decided to try and delete the account in my Mail settings and recreate it and set it to manual instead of the non-working fetch. Now, when I try to check my mail it still takes up to five minutes to respond, pulling the screen to refresh brings up the spinner for about one second and then disappears and no indications of activity occur until about three minutes later when I see the spinner in the status bar near the clock and then see a notification that it's downloading X of Y messages. At that point, message headers come in very quick and then about a minute later message previews come in. At random times, opening the mail app I get a "Password incorrect" error, even though the password works on other attempts.

File too large error message

I have an iBook G4 and I am running Numbers '08. I tried to open my budget document today and got an 'The document can't be opened because it is too large' error message. I just opened it a few days ago and it was fine, and my other Numbers documents are opening fine. It is a spreadsheet with about 5 sheets - not really THAT big, especially considering some of the Excel spreadsheets I deal with at work. Any ideas? This is (of course) the most important document on my computer...

(1) comparing to Excel documents size is meaningless.
Given the fact that Numbers uses xml, its files are huge.
(2) Try to close every application including Numbers then, double click your document.
Doing that you will have the maximum memory available for the document.
(3) check the quantity of space available on your HD.
Numbers make an heavy use of virtual memory so, it need a lot of free space available on the HD.
If these tracks don't help, you may send the document to my mailbox (use the free YouSendit if it's too big for a attachment)
I would try to open it and scan it to see if there is a way to reduce its memory requirements.
Click my blue name to get my address.
Don't worry if it contains personal infos, i'm neither the KGB, nor the CIA.

Hi,
It may pay to send a Screen Shot of the Connection Doctor info. (see the Window Menu)
It would seem the IMAP or POP side is logged in bit the out going STMP server is not.

My ipad locked up when trying to send a large video file. I tried to turn it off and it's stuck. What so I do?, My ipad locked up when trying to send a large video file. I tried to turn it off and it's stuck. What so I do?

My ipad 2 has locked up when trying to send a large video file. What do I do? Is there a reset button.
Thank you

Assuming that it's not still trying to send the video, then you could 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.

HT3142 Display size is too large on yahoo mail

My display size is too large on yahoo mail page only (page I need and use most). How do I correct it, please?
Changing the display selections from system preferences is not working.

There may be a control within the application you are running Yahoo.
Which browser are you using online to access Yahoo?
In the View menu bar of the open application, there may be a choice
to change the size of the display content in the window itself, check.
Some of these use a keyboard command, should the setting go to
Full Screen, you'd need to know the default or escape combination
of keys to restore the application's window to a standard size. This
kind of inside-application setting is not reflected System Wide.
Since I don't know the browser, (as I have five, each is different)
I can't recommend a keyboard combination to re-size the open
application's view or window setting. They can be non-standard.
But that likely is where you'd have to change it back to normal.
PS: Snow Leopard is Mac OS X 10.6.8.
(Tiger is OS X 10.4.x)
Good luck!

I tried to send a video in messaging lasr night and it's still sending. How can I stop it

I tried to send a video in messaging last night. It did not send. My iPad is still trying to send it over z12 hrs later. How can I stop it

First try double clicking the home button and swiping the app preview up to close the app. If it's still trying to send try a reset. Press and hold both the home and power buttons 10-15 seconds till the Apple logo appears. Release both buttons. Wait 15-20 seconds till your iPad starts on it's own.

Also MMS is supported on a carrier by carrier basis. While mostly every carrier does support ths feature make sure that your carrier allows this functionality.

Try going into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > select the account > account name , tap on SMTP (under the 'Outgoing Mail Server' heading) and then tap on your Primary Server and try entering your email account and password and see if you can then send emails

Mail 4.5 Message Encryption Does Not Work per Articles

Apple's various articles and help files on how to send encrypted mail do not work for my currently installed Mail 4.5 on my 10.6.8 OS;
"An Encrypt (closed lock) icon appears next to the Signed icon if you have a personal certificate for a recipient in your keychain; the icon indicates the message will be encrypted when you send it." This DOES NOT WORK.
I followed instructions to create certificates with Keychain Access on both sending and receiving MacBooks, imported each others certificates and set them to trust always per Apple instruction. But Mail 4.5 DOES NOT allow me to send an encrypted email message from an email address with a certificate in KeyChain Access to an email address in KayChain Access; the lock remains grayed out.
I'd appreciate some help (and it would be nice if the Apple articles were corrected also).

When I had this problem originally, I called Apple support. Their solution was to remove all the 'interesting' files from the Library/Mail folder (including the V2 folder and its files) and import all the mailboxes manually. This would have worked but taken an eternity (>50 mailboxes, >100,000 messages), plus recreating rules, etc.
So I started experimenting. The critical files that made Mail not start up correctly were the SmartMailboxes plists (SmartMailboxes.plist, VersionedSmartMailboxes.plist). I deleted them (and their backups) and Mail started up OK. I put them back, Mail failed to start up. (Tried all that after Mail had transitioned all the old mail to V2 but hadn't successfully started up.)
So I cleared my Mail folder, reinstalled it from backup, removed SmartMailbox plists, and started up Mail. Imported everything just fine (except the old MailTags plugin of course), started up normally. Very Happy now.
