By all probabilities these are mails in queue  which  will be sent
next time mails are sent through ppp (if yours is a  dialup).  You
may try "sendmail -v -q" to send these off monioring each delivery
visually.

They also be mails which could not be sent at all  after  repeated
trials. In case you want to manually delete them  first  turn  off
sendmail daemon. Go into /var/spool/mqueue. Examine each  file and
selectively delete each file. Turn sendmail daemon on again.

vi clones operate in command, insert, append  or display modes
which for newcomers, is difficult to discern. To have the mode
displayed constantly at the right bottom of screen, add to the
~/.exrc file: 

:set showmode
