Q: I have an email that is stuck in outbox

I HAVE AN EMAIL MESSAGE WITH ATTACHMENTS THAT HAS BEEN HUNG UP IN MY OUTBOX FOR 2 DAYS. I WANT TO DELETE IT B/C IT'S CRUSHING MY BATTERY LIFE. HOW DO I DO SO.

 

SHOULD I DO A RESTORE OR DELETE THE MAIL BOX AND RE-ENTER IT?

    Great! That is the one that finally worked for me after becoming very frustrated through the whole trial!

    ONE OF THESE SHOULD WORK...

    SOLUTION #1: EASIEST IF IT WORKS
    no need to reset the iphone .. just close & restart the mail app (while in airplane mode) .. and it works .. thanks all! PS: Take it out of airplane mode when finished.
    ----------------------------------------------------
    SOLUTION #2 WHICH DID NOT WORK FOR ME (BUT IT IS QUITE SIMILAR TO #2)
    1) Put the iPhone in Airplane mode
    2) Open the Mail app
    3) Go to the Outbox
    4) Click Edit, click the circle next to the stuck message to select it
    5) Click Delete
    6) Take the iPhone out of Airplane mode
    7) Return to the Mail app.  :-)
    ----------------------------------------------------
    SOLUTION #3 WHICH WORKED FOR ME!!!
    1) Put your iPhone/iPad in airplane mode
    2) Fully switch-off your phone
    3) Turn it back on
    4) When prompted enter your access code, but don't unlock your SIM
    5) Your iPhone/iPad is booted
    6) Go to your mail app
    7) Go to Outbox
    8) You should be able to click on edit in the top-right corner
    9) Click on the circle in front of your e-mail
    10) Delete
    ---only for a PHONE ---
    You can reactivate cellular and wifi data at this point, turning off airplane mode should prompt you to enter your sim.

    I still have not got anything to work. But there is something I don't understand from Solution #3, number 4 about entering the access code but not unlocking the SIM.  I don't know how to do this.

    I have reinstalled my email account and am at the same gigantic storage level as when it was deleted.  I can't believe this is taking so long to fix.  Grrrrrrrr. LOL.

    Just enter your code and forget the rest ... that is what I did and it all worked out fine.

    This worked for me.

    I had to reset the phone while in airplane mode.

    Thanks!
