Getting "messages not sent" error from Yahoo e-mail outbox folder

I tried forwarding two e-mails with attachments that somehow got stuck in my outbox. I continually get the "x messages not sent" error message but when I click on the error and go to the outbox, I am unable to delete the messages or perform any other action because it says the messages are in the progress of being sent. Any thoughts on how to clear this error?

Have you tried turning off your cellular data connection and then attempting to delete the messages?

Simple delete the yahoo mail from the native email app. then go to the google play store and download the stand alone YMail app and you need only to enter your yahoo mail user name and password and it will work perfectly.

Good Luck
