Bahrca — Mon, 15 May 2023 19:17:24 GMT

I have sent an email with a large attachment and it has got stuck in the outbox of the BT App and I cannot send any further emails until it is cleared - how do I clear or cancel the problem message?

Thanks

ps. I am new to this so have reposted under the 'Email' Board as I am not sure I posted it to the correct place originally

Try deleting it in webmail rather than the app.

Thank you - I logged into webmail but the message is not showing - I could not see the outbox on the mail page - is there a specific place to look?

I don't use webmail, but just assumed the Outbox would be available, having logged in, it appears I was mistaken.

You could always try the nuclear option and uninstall the app and re-install it, or preferably install a better mail app such as Blue Mail.

Thanks - I am not sure if it will just disappear at some point or time out? I don't understand why you just can't cancel it ! As a last resort I will uninstall and start again.

Hopefully it should just time out.

Can you send via webmail in the meantime or has it locked that up too?

Hi - I have just tried webmail and that is working ok so I can use that if I need to. Thanks for your help - if I get anywhere I will let you know.

Hi I have exactly the same problem, from the middle of May also which may be coincidental. I've just realised that I have several messages all stuck in outbox and no outbox on my webmail when I try to resolve in other devices. If you found a solution I would love to hear more. thank you

I managed to get the problem sorted out. I had to delete some emails as it seemed that the mail box may have been full. However, to ensure everything reset and cleared I had to change my password on webmail. Then close the BT app on my phone and then do a new log on to the mobile BT app with the new password. That cleared the outbox - however the message was lost and I had to send it again.

I turned my phone onto airplane mode then rebooted whilst still in airplane mode then delete the email. Much easier
