I put an e-mail into a draft on my new iPad and it is frozen in draft mode. I can't delete it or send it. And now I can't get to the rest of my e-mails. What can I do to unfreeze the page?

I have an e-mail in draft mode on my iPad and it is stuck there. I cannot delete it or send it. The page is frozen. Now, I can't get the rest of my e-mails since the draft page is frozen. How can I get out of this?

iPad, iOS 5.1.1

I have the new iPad so I can't shut it off with the Sleep/Wake button which it doesn't have. I found a solution from another discussion member--double click to bring up the icons on the bottom of the page, hold them down until they wiggle, then delete the Mail icon. This worked and allowed me to finally get out of the draft mode freeze. Thanks for your suggestion.

Ah ... yes ..... it does have a power button. Every iPad has the same sleep/power button in the same place on the iPad. I'm happy that you found a solution .... but maybe you should download this for reference.

Thanks so much! I did not have this user guide and didn't realize the new iPad has the same button since it goes to sleep when you put the cover over it. This user guide should be a big help. By the way, we lived in Pottsburgh for over 20 years and are still ardent Steeler fans. I appreciate your help.
