Email sent from outside Mail app sits in outbox?

Whenever I try to send an email from outside the Mail app it just sits in my Outbox until I go in and re-send what I thought I'd already sent. Very annoying, any way to fix this? I sync email with Google Sync and Yahoo.

They are in your Library folder, but it is now hidden in Lion. You can unhide it by either:
hold Option key and to to Go Menu in Finder - Library will be there. Once open you can drag its' icon into the Sidebar if you want.
Or, you can use this terminal command:
chflags nohidden ~/Library
Once in the Library, there is the Mail folder. Please note that they are now in a folder named "V2" and the format is not compatible with Snow Leopard. You can try putting your folders there, but I do not know if that will work, especially since they are from 10.5.

  • ICloud emails sent from apple mail or iPhone 3gs never arrives, works fine when sent from iCloud website

    The ony place I have been able to send and receive email since the launch of iCloud has been the icloud website. I wasn't able to send email from my iphone 3gs or apple mail at all until today, now it finally appears to let me send email but it never arrives to its destination.
    I can send an email from the icloud website without issue, and email sent from my icloud account using my iphone 3gs and apple mail seems to send fine and without error but who knows where it goes.
    Has anyone else experienced this issue?
    Thanks!
    Charles

    I figured out how to fix it... if anyone else has this problem, go to Outlook > Preferences > Accounts > select the IMAP account > Advanced > Folders and for "Store Sent Messages in this Folder:" select "Sent Messages (Server)."

  • Automatically create iCal entry with an email alarm from a Mail.app email?

    Hi..
    Hope you can help?
    I want to set up iCal/Mail.app so that it automatically creates a new iCal entry in a specific calendar when an email is received that contains a date in the body of the message...
    Is there a way of doing this with Automator?
    This reason I am asking is that I am trying to put a link on my online store where people can click for a gift reminder email that will be sent to them on a date they specify in the body of their email.
    The link could pop-up a new email window pre-filled with Subject: 'Gift Reminder' and addressed to '[email protected]' They would be instructed to enter a single date in the text area and press Send...
    Then, when Mail.app receives the email, it would move it to a Folder called 'Gift Reminders' and automatically set up a new iCal entry that has an alarm to email the sender on that date with an email containing the Subject 'The Gift Reminder you Requested' etc and some different text in the body... It would be great if this could be set up to repeat annually also as the gift reminder is primarily for birthday gifts...
    Id there an Automator script / plug-in or way of making this happen??
    Any help greatly appreciated, though my knowledge of scripts / Automator etc is quite limited I am willing to try out any suggestions!
    Thanks,
    Jon.

    Tried a restart which showed 2183 emails unable to move which is kind of bonkers and had to quit Mail> restart and moving emails from search now appears to be working. Apple owes me about 500 hours of my life so far with Mavericks!

  • Mail not sent from iphone mail app

    I tried to send a mail through the mail app through my gmail account. Was shocked that the mail was not sent nor I can find it in any of "sent" or "draft" boxes. And the very disappointing thing about this problem is that there was no errors, and I just knew about 12 hours later from the expected recipient that he did not receive my mail.
    #SHOCKING
    I hate iOS 7, thus I mat start to hate iPhone and Apple.

    Has the Mobile Me account been set up on your iPhone as POP rather than IMAP? If it has been set up as POP then any message sent will not be mirrored. Your Mobile Me account should also be configured as IMAP on all your devices in order to see those messages in your Sent Items folder.
    The idea of IMAP is to be device independent such that whatever you do is mirrored on all your devices as they each synchronize with Mobile Me. I suppose you could view the Mobile Me "cloud" as being the main repository. If you delete a message from your Inbox via your iPhone, the next time you connect your Mac that message will not appear in the associated Inbox in Mail.
    Does that make sense?

  • Email sent from Apple Mail to Outlook, recipient gets 2 versions

    When I send an email from Apple Mail to my Outlook Express and open it in Outlook it shows two versions of the email. First is formatted the way I sent it (Rich Text) and then below that is the same message in Plain Text with an line (HR) between them.
    I don't see any settings in either Mail or Outlook to change this. Only time it doesn't happen is if I send it as Plain Text to begin with.
    (ps. read as Plain Text is not selected in Outlook)

    You are typically "the man" on such issues, but I believe Apple has said some place that their RTF is only a subset of HTML? I know it gets converted to HTML like encoding, but did not think it is full HTML?
    It's true that when composing in Mail you only have access to those parts of html that Apple has provided an interface for, so there are various html things you cannot do. But those things you can do, like choose the font, font size, font color, etc. are done with standard html codes, the Content-Type header of a "rich text" message says "text/html", and the message source starts out with the codes < html > < head > < body > like any other html message would.

  • How to identify a nested email sent from Apple 'Mail' client

    Hi,
    I am trying to identify whether an attachment to an email is a mail in itself. I have to parse and extract the contents
    of the nested email in an email. I am identifying an attch as an email if its content type is message/rfc822. But in case if
    the email(both attached and enclosing) is sent from Apple's Mail client 'Mail' its failed. Can some one help me in resolving this!
    just looking for the content type message/rfc822 may not be enough!!

    What does the message from Apple Mail look like?
    Use the msgshow.java demo program with the -s option to show the structure of the message.

  • Gmail cannot receive email sent from SBO-Mailer

    Dear All,
    I can receive emails from SBO-Mailer to my company email. My colleague can also receive email sent to her company email. However, I can not receive email if it is sent to my gmail or hotmail or yahoo. Did I miss something?

    Hi,
    You may try to use this sap note solution if probably you are interested to use gmail smtp :
    SBO Mailer doesn't work in Login Authentication mode
    Symptom
    You test connection in SBO mailer with Login Authentication mode unsuccessfully and the error message below is shown:
    Login authentication failed. or
    Login authentication not supported by SMTP server.
    Also, you fail to send emls in SAP Business One with Login Authentication mode.
    Other terms
    SMTP
    Reason and Prerequisites
    Consulting
    Solution
    This is usually because of wrong settings in SBO mailer. Gmail for example, you should set as the following:
    SMTP Server: smtp.gmil.com
    SMTP Port: 587
    Username: ***@gmil.com
    Password: ****
    Encoding: English (United States)
    SMTP Client: Microsoft .NET
    Authentication: Basic Authentication
    Use TLS Encryption: Yes
    If you choose Microsoft .NET as SMTP Client, the "test connection" button in SBO mailer is invalid but it can still send emails in SAP Business One.

  • Where are my email messages from the Mail app located in Lion?

    I copied all my email messages from my PowerMac with OS X 10.5 and want to copy them to my MacBook with OS X 10.7, but I can't find the folder in Lion where email messages are stored for the Mail application. Where have they been moved to? I have been using 10.5 for a long time and am not aware of changes like this to the new OS.

    They are in your Library folder, but it is now hidden in Lion. You can unhide it by either:
    hold Option key and to to Go Menu in Finder - Library will be there. Once open you can drag its' icon into the Sidebar if you want.

  • Auto display HTML attachments in body / email sent from mac mail

    Hi,
    One of my clients has received an email written in MAC Mail, the email doesn't display correctly instead what would be the body of the email appears as an html attachment, he doesn't want to have to click the attachment to preview it as he doesn't have to
    do this on the iphone (also an apple device hmm....), I cant see any way of making it auto display the html in the body without clicking it.
    Does anyone have any ideas?

    Hi,
    Can you confirm if the sender has this problem sending emails to other recipients?
    Please logon your Webmail(or OWA), does that message display as an attachment as well?
    If other Outlook recipients also see the email body as an attachment and you can verify it shows as an attachment on Web as well, I'm afraid we should blame the Apple Mail Client, since I've seen some Apple Mail users have this problem:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1947994?tstart=0
    Kindly have the sender check if the setting like Edit > Attachments > Send Windows friendly Attachments
    has been checked.
    If I'm not getting this wrong, we should confirm this issue with Apple:
    https://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa
    Feel free to post back of course.

    Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
    What is the format of those emails and how did you create them? Exactly what do you mean by "add to my new mac"?

  • Mail sent via other apps sits in Outbox and eventually bombs

    Mail sent from other ipad apps sits in Outbox and eventually bombs after trying to send for some minutes - Mail app works fine by itself, problem just for the multiple apps that send links etc using Mail

    After switching my Gmail account from IMAP to the Exchange setting the problem has disappeared. Was not how I had it set up in iOS 3

  • Cannot sort emails sent from Mail App and Exchange

    When trying to sort emails on Outlook in Windows, lets say by "Flag", emails coming from a mac using mail app and exchange get placed at the top of the list.
    Have tried sending emails from the same account via webmail and iphone and they get sorted correctly.
    Anyone has had this problem?

    So, Here's what happens:
    1) Send email from Laptop (Snow Leopard) with Exchange Integration
    2) Send email from iPhone (3.1) with Exchange Integration
    In Outlook 2003 sort by flag (neither of these messages are flagged). Any email sent from the Snow Leopard is sorted first in the Unflagged category in Outlook. Any of the email sent from the iPhone is sorted normally.
    There's no differences in the headers to cause these to sort differently. The only headers that differ are the Date, Subject/Thread-Topic, Thread-Index, Message-ID, x-ems-stamp. But, in the Message-ID it has the same domain.
    Both Snow Leopard and iPhone are configured to use the same Exchange OWA/OWS.

    For anyone else reading this thread, it is worth knowing that sometimes an email is, or can be, corrupted thereby jamming the works. The solution above is good, but I just wanted to suggest another one.
    If the problem arises, go to an online mail access service, such as Mail2Web.com and login to you mail account there and delete the offending message.
    Problem solved.
    And George, as this is all entirely voluntary, whinging about no takers may not endear people to you. Besides which, a few minutes of searching on Google would have found you a number of solutions.
