I have an email stuck in my Outbox and it doesn't allow me to delete

I tried to send a video attachment from an application. The email is now stuck in my Outbox (iCloud) on my iPhone and I can't remove it. It will not slide to display the tab remove red. How can I remove and stop "spinning" away? Thank you

I know this thread is a bit old, but just in case someone finds it here is the solution:

(1) put the iPhone in airplane mode

(2) open the Mail app

3) go to the Outbox

(4) click on edit, click on the circle next to the message stuck to select

5) click on Delete

(6) take the iPhone out of airplane mode

(7) back to the email application.  :-)

  • When I try to send an e-mail message in Outlook Express 6, it gets stuck in the Outbox and is not sending.

    Help!  When I send a message it is said there is a mistake, but there is no error and he actually sent the message.  It gets stuck in my Outbox and if I don't delete it will continue to send over and over again!  What can I do?

    original title: OUTLOOK EXPRESS 6 - problem

    You have apparent dbx file corruption.

    Spend most of your messages out of the Inbox and then create new folders to send and sent items box after having moved the messages you want to save to a local folder that you create.

    Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.

    In Windows XP, Win2K & Win2K3 the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder Options icon | Opinion, or in Windows Explorer. Tools | Folder options | View.

    With OE closed, find the DBX files for the items in the Outbox and sent and delete them.  New ones will be created automatically when you open OE.

    After you're done, followed by compacting your folders manually while working * off * and do it often.

    Click Outlook Express at the top of the the folder tree so no folders are open. Then: File | Work offline (or double-click on work online in the status bar). File | Folder | Compact all folders. Don't touch anything until the compacting is completed.

    General precautions for Outlook Express:

    Do not archive mail in the receipt or sent items box. Create your own user-defined folders and move messages you want to put in them. Empty the deleted items folder daily. Although the dbx files have a theoretical capacity of 2 GB, I recommend all a 300 MB max for less risk of corruption.

    Information on the maximum size of the .dbx files that are used by Outlook Express:

    Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that devours the CPUs, slows down sending and receiving and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs, account setting changes and has even been responsible for the loss of messages. Your up-to-date A / V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more information, see:

    Why you don't need your anti-virus to scan your email
    http://thundercloud.NET/infoave/tutorials/email-scanning/index.htm

    Note that for some AV programs, it may be necessary to uninstall the program and reinstall in custom Mode and uncheck analysis when the option is the result of e-mail messages.

    Compact often as specified above.

    And backup often.

    Go to file | Work offline, then in the shipping box and remove it.  If you have this problem a lot, then your sent items folder may be corrupted.  Try to go to file | Identities and the installation program and new identity and then add your account and see if things work very well.  See also www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

  • Emails stuck in the Outbox

    I was emailing and backward with a friend yesterday on my iPad when my mail out suddenly started to get stuck in the Outbox. I could still receive emails fine, but was not able to send something. I have reset everything, deleted and readded my e-mail account, back to factory settings and still nothing works. It is not a problem with my email provider because I still have my account through Google /safari and send / receive email through that, I can't use the iPad for sending mail messaging function. I can access the Outbox and delete those here but they is not enough (I get a message saying unable to send at this time).

    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Check your e-mail account again. Make sure you have a user name and password entered for the outgoing e-mail server. Add the user name and password for the outgoing e-mail server even if it is suggested that the info is optional.

    Hi Zena.

    Thanks for posting in the Microsoft Community. Enjoy the detailed explanation of the issue.

    Are you using a Microsoft or a local account to connect to the computer?

    Method 1: I suggest you run the troubleshooter App from the link and if it helps.

    http://go.Microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=268423

    Method 2: I suggest that you remove mail, Outlook and Live accounts and re - sync the two. If you use a Microsoft account so it would not be possible to remove it from the Mail app like that defined a default in such a case, you can only delete the second account and Resync. Check if the problem persists.

    Method 3: Check out the link and follow the methods 'update your app' and also 'license app Sync' of the article.

  • I have an email stuck in my vision of the box. Are not sent and cannot be deleted. How he get out of here.

    He has been there 3 days.  Systems turned on and turned off several times and as e-mail remains in the Outbox.

    You don't mention what email program you use. If Outlook Express check for working offline and deselect the preview pane and see if it will remove this way. If this is not the case, the sending, or sent items box is corrupt.
     
    Proceed as follows for the Outbox and if the problem persists, repeat for the sent items after you move the messages you want to save to a local folder that you create.
     
    Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.
     
    In Windows XP, Win2K & Win2K3 the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder Options icon | Opinion, or in Windows Explorer. Tools | Folder options | View.
     
    With OE closed, find the DBX file for the folder in question {Outbox.dbx} and delete it.  Another will be created automatically when you open OE.
     
    General precautions for Outlook Express:
     
    Do not archive mail in the receipt or sent items box. Create your own user-defined folders and move messages you want to put in them. Empty the deleted items folder daily. Although the dbx files have a theoretical capacity of 2 GB, I recommend all a 300 MB max for less risk of corruption.

  • When I send a message it gets stuck in the Outbox and won't unless I click on the message until it is "BOLD" with a print, then delete.

    Forwarded messages or new messages are not automatically leave and get stuck in the Outbox.  If I leave it alone, I get a message that there was an error and the message could not be sent.  However, if I leave the message stuck in the Outbox, the message gets actually released several times until I have go into the Outbox and delete the message.

    Compacting files try one at a time.

    To defragment:

    Start | All programs | Accessories | System Tools | Disk Defragmenter. Just above that you'll also see disk cleanup. I was running first and also in the other Options tab, the third option to get rid of old that take place of restore points.
