Samsung Stratosphere: Email stuck in outbox

[way2much]

I have the identical problem the way MT1414 described it at the top of the thread. I have tried the "Airplane Mode" method (even with battery removal) with no luck because the "deleted" outgoing message never shows up anywhere to delete it. I am motivated to avoid clearing data/cache because I have another e-mail account (without the problem) in this same app. I also want to avoid re-establishing just the account with the problem because of the data loss. Toggling the Sign-In checkbox doesn't work either. Is there any other (new) workaround?

THANK YOU! I would kiss you if your were here. I have about lost my freaking mind over this. I still don't understand why it worked. But I am so glad to not see that thing going around and around and around. HALLELUJAH! :-*O

Sorry about the multiple posting. I was trying to 'reply' and hoping it would go up under 1BAMFR's post. Just ignore me; it's been a long, exhausting day.

I think I LOVE YOU! Seriously, thanks a bunch! Airplane mode worked like a charm! :-*:-*:-*

Airplane mode

Put your phone into airplane mode and you will be able to open the email in your Outbox....after you open it you can delete it!!!!

I worked out is was my employer's wi-fi that was blocking them in my Outbox. When you come back from airplane mode, try connecting to a different wi-fi zone or your mobile data to get them sent.

Thanks so much! Genius on the airplane mode fix! I was totally frustrated trying to get my Email fixed - just kept crashing until I could delete the hung outbox message.

Thank You so much. It worked great in Airplane Mode. You made my day! Guess it's easy to do.

I found that plugging the S5 into a power charging source magically released the hung email. Further the emails with photos after the release needed no longer the power source attachment. There is obviously a glitch in the Samsung software that causes the hangup. Persons who claim that that the hang ends hours after its initiation had the Samsung go thru some process that released a software switch.
