Q: How can I delete an email stuck in my iPhone's Outbox?
I recently tried sending a video shot on my iPhone 5S in an iPhone email using Apple's Mail app. The email did not go out. It is stuck in my outbox seemingly trying now for 4 months to actually upload the video. The swirly thing just keeps swirling and nothing I do can delete or even reopen the email so I can edit the video out or some other remedy.
I can't help but feel that this activity is part of what's slowing down my iPhone and eating up my power.
Tried restarting iPhone, swiping the loading message, trying to find it on iCloud to deal with it there, nothing works. (I does not appear on iCloud. iCloud does not appear to have an Outbox) I have also just deleted the video that the rogue email is trying to upload to send.
Any ideas on how to delete this message from my outbox??
Despite wha tit says below I'm using iOS 9.3.4 on my iPhone now, but was probably using whatever the current iOS version was back in April when I shot the video and tried to email it.
I was not even aware of this problem until recently.
iPhone 5s, iOS 9.3.1
