Saving sent emails

Hi people,
I am having a problem with my sent emails from my iPad. I am using gmail and when I send an email, the sent email is not picked up by my desktop computer running Outlook 2007. This seems strange to me as emails I send on the same account from my Nexus One are picked up by Outlook 2007.
Does anyone have a suggestion for me to get this to work/

Hi Jeff, thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I am not using an exchange client; just outlook POP access.
You misunderstood me -- I'm not using an Exchange client either. I'm using IMAP to access the server. What you want can't be easily done with POP but if you switch to IMAP you may have better luck.

Outlook 2010 not saving Sent emails in Sent Items Folder

This problem does not exist on this forum. Using Outlook 2010 (V 14.0.7106.5001 (64-bit) on Windows 7 64-bit with three accounts: 1 account is Gmail and 2 accounts are IMAP. The IMAP accounts inexplicably stopped saving Sent emails. The
Gmail account still saves the Sent emails.
Tried already:
1. Changing the Sent Items setting from Save on folder on computer to Save on server and then changed back to the way it was, which is correct.
2. Created a new profile and entered the email settings. Still no sent mails being saved.
3. Ran Outlook repair. No luck.
Not sure where to go with this next. Never have run into a problem like this before.

Hi,
Please make sure you have the emails sent to the recipients successfully, if not, the emails may be saved to other folders if you have the following setting:
File tab -> Options -> Mail -> If you checked
Automatically save items that have not been sent after this many minutes,
Save to this folder, you may have your emails stored in the selected folder if the emails are not sent successfully.
Please visit the Webmail site, could you find the sent items there?
Try Reset View, then try to search for the sent emails by keywords in Advanced Find, can you find the emails?
Kindly check the following settings:
File tab -> Options -> Mail
-> under Save messages, make sure you have checked Save copies of messages in the Sent Items folder
If none of the above helps, feel free to contact me again.

Mail not saving sent email

This just started on March 12, no apparent reason that I can find. The account is a POP, preferences are set to never delete. Kind of annoying! Thanks for any suggestions...
OS 10.6.8, Macbook Pro 2.33 Mail 4.5 (1084)

My primary email account is IMAP and I have just found what I suspect are all the messages that were not saved in my "sent" folder either on my iMac or ISP server. They were in the "Sent" folder of my secondary, little-used Hotmail account and the recipients "saw" these as originating from this account rather than the one from which I actually sent them. After some testing, I discovered that, for my primary account, the "always use this server" box was not checked. I surmise that, if the Mail app has trouble using the server associated with my primary account, it simply uses the Hotmail server (this would be consistent with the delay before hearing the "whooshing"noise). What does surprise me is that, if this Hotmail server has been used, the recipient sees the message as originating from Hotmail. Is this what is supposed to happen?

Saving sent emails directly to mailbox

After sending an email (Mail) I would like to save it directly to whatever mailbox I want rather than wait for it to be send and then move it

there is no built in way to do this. you can make a Mail rule using Mail-actOn that will automatically move sent messages to some mailboxes based on criteria you specify. that's the best you can do.

Sent Emails Not Saved

Please see this screenshot: http://geoffmyers.net/images/mail_screenshot.png
Since August 20, none of my sent emails have been saved by Mail (the account is IMAP). If you see the screenshot, you can see that, for some strange reason, Mail shows several subfolders under Sent instead of just a single folder (like my other 2 email accounts on the bottom). This only began recently. I can access all my Sent emails sent before August 20 within the "Sent Messages" folder. But now I think Mail is confused as to where sent emails go, so it doesn't save them. Please advise. Thank you.

I figured it out. I just clicked on "Sent Messages" then went to Mailbox > Use This Mailbox For > Sent.

Sent emails on my iphone not being saved on my hotmail's sent items

Sent emails on my iphone are not being saved on my hotmail's sent items

Delete the account on your phone under settings> Mail, contacts, calendars> hotmail account> delete. This will not erase anything on your email account as your phone only accesses the server. Then you can add the account again in the same place in settings. Just make sure you have the password so you can add it right away. Sometimes people forget their password because they never use it. If that's the case you can go online and click "forgot password" and resset it before you uninstall it on your phone. Hope this helps.

Sent Email Saving

Hi all,
I am successful in sending emails through apex send email utility. I want to save sent email in my application too just as our normal email works. Can anyone help me how can i save the sent emails with there data??
With Regards,
Sunil Bhatia

Hi Sunil,
For this sort of thing, I actually store the email data in a custom table and then use that to create and send the actual emails.
My table structure would be something like:
CREATE TABLE "A_SENT_EMAILS"
     "SENT_EMAIL_ID" NUMBER(10,0) NOT NULL ENABLE,
     "CLIENT_ID" NUMBER(10,0),
     "USER_ID" NUMBER(10,0),
     "EMAIL_TYPE" VARCHAR2(4),
     "EMAIL_TO" VARCHAR2(200),
     "EMAIL_FROM" VARCHAR2(200),
     "EMAIL_BODY" VARCHAR2(2500),
     "EMAIL_BODY_HTML" VARCHAR2(2500),
     "EMAIL_SUBJECT" VARCHAR2(200),
     "EMAIL_CC" VARCHAR2(200),
     "EMAIL_BCC" VARCHAR2(200),
     "EMAIL_SENT" DATE,
     CONSTRAINT "A_SENT_EMAILS_PK" PRIMARY KEY ("SENT_EMAIL_ID") ENABLE
)CLIENT_ID and USER_ID are specific to this particular example, you can add whatever ID's you need instead. EMAIL_TYPE just identifies the type of email being sent (we use email templates that the user selects and/or is selected automatically), so this just helps identify the type being sent.
Then, a loop through these where the EMAIL_SENT date is null, would allow me to construct the emails using something like:
HTMLDB_MAIL.SEND
     rec.EMAIL_TO,
     rec.EMAIL_FROM,
     rec.EMAIL_BODY,
     rec.EMAIL_BODY_HTML,
     rec.EMAIL_SUBJECT,
     rec.EMAIL_CC,
     rec.EMAIL_BCC
);"rec" is just the cursor's record name

I had to refresh my computer, now after re-installing thunderbird, I only see my emails in my inbox, but not my sent emails or addresses.

Hey there Thunderbird crew and family...
First of all....well done on all your hard work, keep it up! I have been using Mozilla Thunderbird for a while now...and don't plan on stopping...it's amazing!
Okay.....soo the problem....
My laptop needed to be refreshed...as it was almost getting to the point of "the Blue Screen of Death"
I had to re-install my Thunderbird with the 24.5.0 version... I am using Windows 8
HOW....do I get my sent messages (which were saved in my sent folder in my previous version of thunderbird), as well as get my Addresses from my address book..?
Ofcourse I don't have a saved or backed up file of the previous settings...messages....addresses etc....
but I do see a "windows.old/users" file though.....and I've read many....many different Mozillazines.....as well as even tried to read - Restoring a profile backup / Restoring to a different location - But that required me having to locate a backed up profile.....which again..i wasn't able to back it up.
I lost my software like Office and Adobe...however all my files and folders of pics...music....letters for work etc etc...have all be restored onto my desktop.
I have looked through many pages of your forum but I haven't been able to find an answer.....
Any help..??
thanks, have a great day.
Jason

Hey hey Christ1
I think we are getting closer to this thing being solved...
The Update --
I have all my Mail in One of my accounts (work)....but not all the Mail in the other account (aka my Music account).....
Both I've set up again..using your advice...and changed both now to IMAP..
Originally after refreshing my laptop, when I set up Thunderbird....I used the POP settings.....and that's when I messed it up.....
but using IMAP now....I've gotten more of my old emails .....in my INBOX.....not all.....but most....YIPPIE
My SENT emails....in my Music account.....have all disappeared.......I've looked in both sent folders...in POP...and IMAP....and nothing is there...
However my sent folder of my work account...I have SOME of the sent emails...
Address books....Collected and Personal folders.....I have NO Email Addresses at all.
Sooo now even though I am getting confident we will solve it.....I still have 4 accounts....aka...2 Work (POP and IMAP).....2 Music (POP and IMAP) until you tell me to delete or change one from each.....
BOTH IMAP accounts.....do not show new messages...when they come in....however the POP shows it.....I did read that If I deleted the POP to change to IMAP I will not be able to get emails.....sooo not sure what to do about that issue now....
Is there an "automatic" backup feature for Thunderbird...?? All this could have been soo prevented if I did that....sheesh...
anyway..thanks so far.... :)

Is it possible to save drafts of commonly sent email letters?

I have several form letters I need to keep for regular use. Right now I'm copy pasting from previous sent emails but I'm sure there must be a way of saving them somehow.
Is there a way to do this in Mail?

you can save them as stationery. while composing a new message go to file menu->save as stationery. to use it, start a new message and click on "show stationery" in the toolbar. the one you made will be in the custom stationery section.

My sent emails do not save in the sent folder. After mozilla runs the indexing service the emails disappear from the sent folder. I've checked the account settings and its correct. What do I need to do?

My sent emails are not being saved in the sent folder. When Mozilla indexes the sent folder, it simply deletes them from the folder.

Mozilla '''''Firefox''''' doesn't do email - and this is the Firefox support forum.
Mozilla '''Thunderbird''' support is over here. <br />

After updating software yesterday, noticed that sent emails are not showing up in Sent Folder?

Are you storing Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk messages on the server via your .Mac account with Mail?
If so, do you access your .Mac account with an email client on another computer or regularly access your account via webmail on another computer?
If not, any other reason you need to store Drafts and Sent messages on the server?
While composing a message with Mail, it is temporarily saved in the account's Drafts mailbox so sounds like something went wrong with the process between finishing and sending the message with Drafts and Sent being stored on the server.
If you don't have any need for this, better to store Drafts and Sent messages locally on the hard drive with Mail.

Says sent box full all the time - but it is empty - cannot refer to any sent emails

when I write an email and send- it says sent box is full - I have compacted numerous times but no joy.
any suggestions welcome
I have 299 messages in sent now as have deleted alot bnad it say 4GB? inbox over 6000 and only 1.25 GB.

So your settings say:
IMAP mail acount:
selected: 'Place a copy in'.
selected: 'Other' and 'Sent on Local Folders.'
This means that although you use an imap account you are not saving the sent items on the server with all your other emails. Instead you are saving them in Local Folders on your computer.
Try this.
* Right click on the Sent Folder in Local Folders.
* select 'Properties'
* 'General Information' tab - click on 'Repair Folder'
* click on OK
* click on the small black arrow to the left of 'Local Folders' to collapse the Local folders tree.
* Then click again to open the Local Folder tree so that you can see all the folders again.
* Select / highlight all sent emails. (Ctrl+A); they should appear as 'conversations' in the Message Pane.
* Archive those emails - click on 'Archive' button. The emails should appear in the Local Folders Archive folder. Your Sent folder should now appear empty.
* Then right click on Sent folder in Local Folders and select 'compact'.

Sent email box empty even though I've snet an emai...

On my Nokia N8 once I've sent an email I cannot see it again in my 'sent' box. I know that people are receiving the emails but I have no record of them.

I'm having this problem too.
I have a Nokia N8.
To clarify, my sent items are being saved, but to a folder on the phone rather than the IMAP folder on my server.
By going through settings, I am able to download the folders from the IMAP server, but there is no option to select which folder is the default for sent email. So I can now see the items in sent items on my phone, but I can't set the phone to save sent items to this folder. There also doesn't seem to be a way of moving messages from the Nokia sent items folder to the IMAP sent items folder.
My friend was showing me the settings he has available on his iPhone, he has a screen which lets him choose the default folders for his inbox, sent items, deleted items and drafts. Naturally, he has all of his defaults set to the server rather than the phone. This would be invaluable, being able to draft a message on the train and then just keep working on it in Outlook at the office for instance.
This seems like such basic functionality.
Come on Nokia, get your act together.

IPhone 4S suddenly not saving 'Sent' mail items - help

When I send emails from my iPhone (on any account) it does not save the 'Sent' email. However, when I send it from my desktop, the emails will appear in my sent folder. I know recipients are getting the email - however there is now no trace of me having sent it. If I reply to a message it will also not show the 'replied arrow' even if it sends and the person receives it. I am finding this incredibly frusterating. Everything worked perfectly until this past Friday - now all of my communication from the weekend and beyond is not saving.
I have reset my phone, deleted and reconfigured all of the mail accounts on my phone. I can't think of what else to do.

Okay, now that I am looking back through my sent folder, it seems like ALL of the sent items are missing. They were there last week - I remember searching through them to find an email to resolve an issue. I use my phone for mail for my work. This is unacceptable.

When typing email address that I have sent emails to before what setting do I need to change so my computer will remember these email addresses, like explore does? I can't find my email settings?

This is called autocomplete. Please read the article [[Form autocomplete entries are not saved]], as it should solve the problem.
