Cannot delete draft email

I accidently attached a file which is too large to send, now the message is stuck on my screen with the message it can’t be saved to the Drafts mailbox. I click OK, but it stays there, I can’t get past it to delete it.

please help! I can’t quit Mail either, or restart the iMac. Thanks

Hello JulieRGZ,


After reviewing your post, it seems like you have an email stuck in Mail because it has an attachment that is too large to send and you cannot delete it. Try booting into safe mode and then try to delete the email and see if the issue persists.
