Wife's iPhone sending flurries of mail, from 4 months ago - Kraniac - 05-06-2015
My Wife's iphone is sending emails with pic / video attachments...things she tried to send 4 months ago that I never received...
I got 10 emails this morning..stuff I never received but just now..did.
Last night, She sent me one video she made of me working on a project...it must have rustled up all these other mails and sent em too...
any idea what this is? It's happened a few times in the past..'N by the way..my Wife and a Smart Phone is like a girl in an evening gown riding a wild bull.

nagging App ?
you have selective receipt turned on/off - this unfortunately functions as selective hearing and pretty much ignores the on/off toggle selection
best to admit the problem is on your end and grin and bare it
and hope she does the same

Biilba,
These are things sent to my Gmail account..not my phone. I don't use an iPhone and prefer to get email through email

Could it be that those emails were "stuck" in the senders phone, because of a temporary email issue...then, when that issue resolved itself, now a rush of outgoing emails send?
That, or she's using a Yahoo account... which I once had an email of mine that showed as "sent" in my outbox showed up at the recipient more than two YEARS after I sent it. Both of us are email savvy enough and checked the headers, and found that, yes, I sent it two years ago... but he only just received it. It was floating around on a Yahoo server someplace for two years.

She uses a Gmail account.
RE Yahoo..been there and done that..phew. Yahoo mail is so bogged with glitches and bum powder...

???
In apple mail, open (one of) the received email messages, select view/message/display headers and you can see when it got sent and any hang-ups along the way
Can do the same in Chrome but I have a older version so things may have moved
If her phone keeps doing this ( not her ) it might benefit from a reset.

PaulF hit it. They were in her outbox the entire time waiting to be sent. Something kicked them off and they went. It is entirely possible that google made a change to attachment size or encoding and off they go. Or maybe she updated her password and it kicked them off. Or she rebooted her phone for the first time in forever. Who knows.

Yup...
Happened to a user here with an iPad just this morning... again...
She's had wifi off for a week, and just connected it, and WHOOSH, they all sent.
What made her think that she could send email without being connected to the network? Who knows...
