Mail function

I have never been able to operate the email connected to my computer. I consistently get the message that my password is not recognized. In my attempts to send photos from iPhoto over the past two years I've amassed 70 old emails never sent. Now they appear in quick succession like cards being dealt by a machine, and the only option I can click on is "Try Later". There is no option for deleting all these dead, never sent messages.

I no longer believe it is possible for me to utilize the email function associated with the computer; I just use my usual email servers and attach photographs, but how in the world can I delete all these useless old message attempts?

I'm 68 and not all that computer savvy as is, of course, obvious. I would be very grateful for a simple solution with plain English that does not assume that I understand all the computer terminology that most people understand.

For example, I do not know what the word "Trackback" below means.

Have a look at the following thread - see if this is your issue - my first post and then head to post #30 for a step by step walkthrough.

If you are not using gmail - replace gmail with whatever the name of your email provider happens to be.
