Here is an easy way to get rid of email on your iPhone that can’t be sent.  (Why would you get unsendable email?  Well, in my case it came from having three-year-old twin boys…)

1.  Switch to Airplane mode (Settings / Airplane Mode / On)

2.  You may have to turn off the fetching of new mail temporarily as well (Settings / Fetch new data / Advanced / / Manual)

3.  Create and send a new message

These steps will force the Outbox to be visible (from the Mail application go to Mailboxes and you will see the Outbox).

4.  Delete the messages you don’t want.

5.  Reverse the changes you made to Settings.

That’s it!
