Unsent Message Problem

[rfw7]

I have a "1 Unsent Message" showing at the bottom of my iPhone Inbox screen. When Mail is checked, the bottom of the screen also shows "Sending 1 of 1". There is no Outbox, which Apple says should be there if there is an unsent message. It appears there is a message hung up somewhere but I do not know how to find it and it does not appear in the Sent box.
Any guidance will be appreciated.
Thanks.

It should be in drafts at this point. Go to drafts click on the email and give it a minute, should send it. Hope this helps.

Bad Ash and ktm97-
My email accounts only show Inbox, Sent, and Trash. How do I find my Draft and Outbox folders in the iPhone?
I did check the Sent folder and found that the missing message was not there.
Thanks.

What email are you currently using? Gmail, Yahoo, etc...?

Bad Ash-
I am using two different POP accounts on the same server at WildBlue, each with a different alias. They both work normally on Outlook (Vista). I tried using a Yahoo account with an alias, but Yahoo admits to having problems getting that feature to work consistently on PDAs, although it worked fine on Outlook. I have also tried Gmail but found out that they do not provide for aliases. MobileMe doesn't do aliases either (surprising that they would leave that feature out). Hope this is what you wanted to know.
Your attention to this is very much appreciated.
Thanks!

I'm not sure about the others you mentioned but I can tell you MobileMe does in fact have the aliases feature you are looking for. Log into MobileMe.com and look under the email preferences. It is there. If this message is stuck under this WildBlue email account and you don't have a draft folder try removing the email account from the phone and then adding it back on. My guess it will disappear then. Hope some of this info helps you.

is it a connection issue? Have you tried syncing the phone or restarting it?

I had two accounts on my mail and one was having a hang up with an "Unsent Message".

I just went into my mail options under the general settings and deactivated the account. I opened up the Mail and reloaded my first email and it did not show and unsent message.

I then reactivated the other account and reloaded my mail and the unsent message was no longer there.

Try that before deleting your email account and reinstalling it on your iphone.

Good luck

Hello,

I had the same problem, I think.

I setup two accounts (one imap, one exchange). The second account wasn't actually working. After playing with some settings, I removed the second account (exchange server doesn't allow external access outside of vpn, boo).

Left with a pending sent message for the first account which won't go away.

Resolution:

Set draft box in advanced mail settings for mailbox to iPhone. Log into email account (pending message no longer there). Set draft box in advanced mail settings for mailbox to mailbox draft. Log into email (pending message no longer there). Resolved! :-)

Hope this helps someone,

Liam
