Mail - Yahoo IMAP sent mail not appearing

Hi all,
I've been trying to troubleshoot this without much success. I've an iphone and a MBP running Lion. I've several Yahoo and Gmail accounts, and they are all set up as IMAP accounts.
Receiving and viewing messages are fine. However, if I were to send an email using one of the Yahoo accounts via Mail on the MBP, it gets sent successfully, but that email does not appear within the 'server' sent mailbox, nor within my iPhone mail app. Gmail seems to work fine.
I've highlighted each relevant 'sent' mailbox on my mac and set it to 'Use this mailbox' within the Mailbox menu, but it has not made a difference.
Any ideas on how to resolve this?
Much appreciated.
Thanks!
Alvin

Sending is done via SMTP. What happened here is that SMTP accepted the mails for sending (thus, the mail client put them in the sent folder). From that moment on, SMTP needs to actually deliver mails to the recipient(s). Until this has happened, mails stay in the mail queue of your mail server.
You did not mention if the mails got eventually delivered, so here is a list of some possible reasons for late delivery or non-delivery:
-Receiving mail server does not respond
-Connectivity issues
-amavisd not running
-Mail got flagged as spam (non-delivery). This would happen if you are trying to send mail from a blacklisted IP (like dynamic IPs) and your mail server is not configured to bypass spam scans for authenticated users.

Sent mail not appearing in Internet mail box

I have recently been using Mail on iMac and while I can receive and view all emails on it. But strange thing is that whatever I sent from Mail on the iMac, it just appeared on the Mail Sent box but do not appear on the internet version of email sent box or anywhere in the internet version. I do have an iPhone and the sent mail from the iMac Mail cannot be found too. However, receiptents do receive my emails anyway. It is frustrating and disappointed that this happened and unable to do work on my iMac in this way especially when I am travelling and away from my desk.
Currently I am using Yahoo! .sg mail with IMAP and has checked thoroughly, including the outgoing server. Did many delete and re-installing but this does not seem to work. Maybe there are some steps that I have overlooked, or improper installation, could somebody help?

I find that perhaps one message in ten is not saved to my sent folder. I am using .mac mail. I am storing sent messages on the server, draft messages locally.
It seems that some kind of timeout on port 143 prevents the message from being copied to the sent folder, although the message is actually sent.
This is clearly a bug. Even if there is a communication failure, the message should remain accessible somewhere, not drift off into the ether. It would be far preferable to risk sending twice by holding the outgoing message in drafts until the move to sent completes.

Sent mail not appearing in icloud

I use my macbook air, iphone and my ipad to send mail from my @me.com account. But when i send an email from my macbook it does not appear in the sent mail folder on icloud. The iphone and ipad both work properly if i send mail from either device it appears in the icloud sent mail folder.
I've been trough the settings on my macbook and have the "Store sent messages on sever" option ticked, and the email accoutn is set up as an IMPA account but it still doesn't work.
Any ideas how to fix this?

Same here! Works on my iPad, iPhone and MacAir. But on my PowerMac the sent mail doesn't show up at all. I can't even find the messages I've tried to send so I can try retype them and resend on my iPhone.
Does your "sent" folder continually beach ball? Mine is non-stop beach balls. Like it's trying really hard to update the sent folder but ran into a Sysiphus stone.
hmm.

GoDaddy exchange account sent emails not appearing in sent folder in Mac Mail

The problem: I set up my business email address (GoDaddy exchange account) as a new email account in Mac Mail. A few days later I noticed that sent emails were no longer appearing in my sent folder for this account.
The solution: there was a conflict with the Gmail account that I also set up in Mac Mail a few days after I set up my business email. I have deleted my gmail account from Mac Mail and so far so good - sent emails are appearing again in the Sent folder in Mac Mail.
Note:
- Emails sent from webmail (Office 365 Outlook) did appear in the Sent folder.
- GoDaddy thought there was a conflict in the name of the Sent folders (called Sent Items in webmail interface), but said it was a problem Apple should solve.

Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

Mail not appearing in notification center... Also, gears not appearing in the mail app.

I tried to configure my mac to enable it to receive mails in the notification center but cant. i have tried to send an email from other IDs but havent received any banner or alert while using my mac. i have checked the show alerts and banners in notification center. Do i have to keep the window of the mail app in a specific position to receive alerts in the notification centre? Also, the gears are not appearing in the mail app when i fetch for new mail. please help..

I'm also having this problem.
Notifications receives alerts from Reminders app, but not Mail.
I've set preferences in Mail for 'Inbox Only' and 'All Mailboxes', sent test mail from ISP webmail and Google (Mail is not setup to receive from this account) - still no notifications.
I had previously used Growl (v1.4) and GrowlMail very successfully (with 10.7), but while upgrading to Mountain Lion I was informed that GrowlMail was incompatible so I deleted it.
While testing this problem of not receiving Mail Notifications I have disabled Growl and rebooted.
Like others here:
Checked: Notifications setup
Checked: Mail setup
Rebuilt permissions
Rebooted
Any help would be very gratefully received.
Many thanks.

Mail not appearing as HTML - Mail Adapter

Hello All,
I'm using the mail package in a receiver mail adapter. During mapping I format the content in HTML format, using < > form < and >. Also I set the content type of the mail package to text/html. However when the mail is received, the content of the mail is the html with tags, it does not appear as an html page. When I see the source the file still has the escape characters instead of < and >. But when I save this as an html file and open it, it appears as a web page.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Sandeep

HI,Specify whether you want to encode the content of the e-mail message. You have the following options:
·        None
·        base64 (default value)
·        quoted-printable
use quoted-printable
Coding of characters in e-mails that are not contained in the ASCII character set.
The code contains German umlauts and special characters

AOL mail not appearing on macbook

If I log into AOL through Safari, I often find that I have emails at AOL.com that do not appear in my mail notices on my Macbook pro, but if I look at my ipod, they are always there. Is there some setting that I need to change on the laptop?

I had the same problem for the past few days. I'm using Hotmail and Gmail with Exchange Active Sync. I'm receiving e-mails with sender and subject but no text in the body of the e-mail.I'm from The Netherlands so i guess it's not a provider issue.
I tried deleting my account on my iPhone 4 and re-enter my settings. But still was getting empty e-mails. I shutdown my iPhone 4 completely and then i restarted it and now all my e-mail appear with text in the body of the e-mail.

Sent messages not appearing on iPad...

Why won't my sent email messages appear on my iPad, or in Mail on my MacBook appear even though they have been sent and received?
(The mail account is configured correctly and this function works on my MacBook AND iPhone but never on my iPad)

I'm still having this issue with 2 different IMAP based web mail accounts...
They both send and receive messages just fine, however on my iPad and iPhone the Sent Messages are never saved, yet on my MacBook Pro and Mac Pro they do. The web ail accounts are set up with the EXACT same settings so I'm not sure why my devices won't save my Sent Messages.
Any suggestions?

Sent items not appearing in online account folder

Hi everyone -- any help on the following problem will be greatly appreciated.
I got my mail accounts set-up on Mail 5.2 and it's working properly in that I can send and receive mail from three different IMAP accounts.
The only problem is that sent mail items are not showing up when I login online to access my mail. I would like everything on my desktop mail account to be exactly the same as what I see online as far as read messages, unread messages and of course, the sent items that I have sent should be logged on the original mail account as well as on my computer.
I have already enabled "store sent messages on the server."
Can anyone help?

Now that the messages are in Mail's sent folder that's now synced to the IMAP Sent Messages, the messages should sync to the website and other devices. So understand that the Sent Mailbox for that account is actually a server folder now as oppose to a local folder on the computer. If you select the gearwheel at the bottom of the sidebar and select get account info, you will notice that you're actually looking at the server showing the sizes and limits for those mailboxes.
Think of it this way. The account at the bottom of the sidebar is your IMAP account. They are server mailboxes. Whatever mailboxes are shown at the website for that account are what is duplicated here. Mail's mailboxes are local to the computer.
What you are doing is syncing the IMAP mailboxes to Mail's mailboxes so that the actions done in Mail are duplicated to IMAP. Mail doesn't understand the names, so that's why you have to tell it what mailbox to use for a particular IMAP mailbox.
Also, when you set up an IMAP account, the INBOX is done automatically and can't be changed. You have control on the other IMAP mailboxes. You don't have to sync any. That's your choice. But the actions won't be duplicated elsewhere if you don't.
Example: If you don't sync the imap draft mailbox to Mail's draft mailbox. You create a draft message in Mail, it will only be seen in Mail's local draft mailbox. It won't appear at the website or any other devices.

Folders on the IMAP server do not appear or appear in wrong location - those cannot be modified in Thunderbird because "they do not exist on server".

Hi all,
A few days ago, I moved 3 sub-folders within my Archive folder. I was doing those modifications using Thunderbird.
My Archive folder used to contain the following sub-folders:
Archive
/A2014
/B2014
/C2014
I tried to move the folders A2014, B2014 and C2014 under the sub-folder LastYear, and created new A, B and C folders for 2015, so that it would be something like:
Archive
/LastYear
/A2014
/B2014
/C2014
/A2015
/B2015
/C2015
On the webmail interface, everything looks fine: the old A, B and C folders where moved into the Archives/LastYear folder, and the new A, B and C folders appear under Archives. However, on Thunderbird things are a bit more... strange.
Case 1: For some folders, things are as they should be.
Folders A2014 and B2014 were correctly moved into Archives/LastYear.
Folders A2015 and C2015 were correctly created in Archives.
Case 2: One folder does not appear at all - anymore.
Folder B2015 does not appear anywhere - despite being visible on the webmail interface. It does not appear in the list of folders to synchronize. No .msf file appear. Nothing happens if I try creating it again.
Note that it briefly existed after I created it, but stopped appearing a few hours later.
Case 3: One folder appears in the wrong location and cannot be accessed.
Folder C2014 appears in the old location (Archives) and not were it should be (and is on the webmail interface), that is Archives/LastYear. I cannot perform any operation on it in Thunderbird, I systematically get the following error message:
"The current operation on 'C2014' did not succeed. The mail server for account <AccountName> responded: "Archives/C2014" doesn't exist."
(Which is correct because according to the server the folder C2014 is in Archives/LastYear).
The C2014.msf file is also wrongly located, but moving it to the correct location did not change anything: the next time Thunderbird was started, the wrongly located .msf file was re-created.
Thunderbird does not show the emails contained in this folder - when I try loading them I get the previous error message.
Using the same style than before, here is how my Archives folder look right now:
Archive
/LastYear
/A2014
/B2014
/A2015
/C2015
/C2014
I am totally flabbergasted, I have no idea of where the problem is. I tried various fixes found on forums (such as playing around with the .msf files), but no luck so far. Any idea?
A few more details:
- I use an IMAP server.
- This is a professional address, and I have little control on it.
- I use Thunderbird with this account on two different computer, the problem is identical on both computers.
- I tried removing/re-installing the account from Thunderbird, it did not change anything.
I would be eternally grateful if any of you could come up with a solution!
Many many thanks,
Agnes

I know my files downloaded through Firefox won't appear in my downloads folder because that is just supported by Safari
No, I think that Apple just assigned the Downloads folder to Safari to send things there by default. You can do the same with Firefox, just go to the Firefox Preferences, click on main, tick the "Save files to..." and click the Choose button, then navigate to /Users/yourname/Downloads and click choose. I have always had all my Internet applications download things to a Downloads folder I keep at the root level of the drive (so all users can access them), but I just changed the Firefox pref to the new Apple Downloads folder and it worked fine.

Sent Messages not appearing in Mail

For the past several days many of my older Sent messages from my Gmail account have not been appearing in the Sent folder in Mail. The most recent messages from sent from Mail appear, but messages sent from other devices that used to appear in the Sent folder within Mail are not showing up. I can view my Sent messges within the Gmail IMAP folders and in my Sent folders in my iPad and iPhone Mail apps. What can I do?

Select the mailbox in the mailbox list, then select
Mailbox ▹ Rebuild
from the menu bar.

SENT MAIL NOT APPEARING IMAIL

I have had the same gmail account for nearly 7 years. I have always used it with the apple mail program (IMAP). Suddenly in the last couple of days my sent mail has totally vanished (except for nearly 300 messages that seem to be pretty much just from this month and last). The messages exist when I access gmail online (I have nearly 9000 sent messages for this account). I have tried deleting and re-setting up the account and rebuilding it in Mail. This is very frustrating, as I often have to access old messages.
My other email addresses seem to have the same issue as well. (me.com account and another gmail account).
Does anyone else have this problem, or know what is up?

I downloaded a different mail client (Thunderbird) and the same issue happened when I set up my gmail account. I wonder if it is a Gmail issue? My sent mail appears totally on my Iphone. This is driving me nuts!

Mail & Exchange - Sent Messages not appearing in Sent mailbox

Once setting up an Exchange account in Mail everything seems to be working fine except that when I send any emails they don't appear in the "Sent" folder. When I log in under webmail they do appear. Anyone else find a solution to this problem?
Thanks for any help.

I'm having my own share of problems with Mail 4.2 and Exchange Server 2007. See this post.
In addition to the Junk mail problem, I'm experiencing overall sluggishness. Mail takes longer than it should to quit, and sometimes I get the spinning pizza Loading… icon on simple text messages. I wish I could go back to re-configuring my Mail account to be POP instead of the auto discovery Exchange method.
As to the Sent mail problem, I am not experiencing that issue. I don't know if this will help, but go to your Exchange account configuration in Mail, click Mailbox Behaviors, and under Sent check "Store sent messages on the server" and for "Delete sent messages when:" choose Never.
My Sent messages all show up in my Sent folder in Mail, but they take a second. From what I can gather, these messages are sent to the Exchange Server first, and then downloaded by Mail. An unnecessary step, I feel, but I guess that's the way Exchange Servers work.

Sent E-mail Not Appearing in Sent Items - Recipient Never Received

Do they appear sent on the server? If not, then they didn't get to that point.
Check her drafts folder as well. She might have saved it but not sent it.

Weird issue:
We have a Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 user who sent 3 e-mail messages this morning from outlook 2013. The messages were never received by the intended recipients, they are not in the Sent Items folder, they are not in the Deleted Items folder, and when viewing Sent and Deleted Items in OWA, they don't appear there either.
This user was replying to messages from other users in our office, and the messages she was replying to says "You replied to this message at 9:04 AM". None of these replies contained attachments.
A casual search of Outlook reveals no traces of the sent messages. Messages that were sent before and after these messages have been received by the recipients.
Do e-mails really just disappear?
