I'm using Apple Mail with Snow Leopard. Two days ago, by fluke I sentt a message with a fairly large attachment (> 128 MB) via my GMail account through Apple Mail. Apple Mail told me that GMail's SMTP server complained that the attachment was too large and asked me to pick a different SMTP server. So I did. As the message was sending, I thought better of sending a 35+ MB attachment, so I deleted the message from my outbox.
Since then GMail has been continually downloading copies of this message to my "Recovered Messages (GMail) On My Mac" folder in Apple Mail. So far it has downloaded about 200 copies of this large message, filling up my hard drive -- many GB so far. I can't get it to stop. Apple Mail's activity window shows "[GMail] Fetching new mail Copying message" continually as it keeps grabbing more copies of this same message and downloading them. I can't get them to delete, either. Even if I click on the stop sign in Apple Mail's activity window, it eventually starts up again. I logged on to the web client of Gmail and could not find this message anywhere to delete it.
