Sent messages not going to sent folder

I know this has been asked a bunch of times. This IPAD was purchased in May 2010.
When I go to the sent box on the IPAD it shows the same emails as are in the inbox, but no sent messages I sent via the IPAD.
I've read through all the emails discussion boards and can't find any suggestions that work. The email account is a secondary user on the MAC, so I'm not sure if that's an issue.
I've started blind copying myself to get the messages to the MAC, but is there a way to keep them in the IPAD SENT folder?

Firefox doesn't do email, it's strictly a web browser.
If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". You need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.
If your problem is with Mozilla Thunderbird, let us know and we can move this thread to the Thunderbird queue. This question currently is in the Firefox queue for answers.

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 messages not saved in sent mailbox

Lately some iCloud sent messages are not saved in the sent mailbox. this is an intermitant problem. sometimes msgs go to the outbox even though mail is on line; when they are eventually sent sometimes they do not make it to the sent mailbox. I call the recipient and the msg has actually been received. The lost messages do not appear in iCloud. Rebuild does not help. any suggestions?

Tks for your answer. I have a .Mac account and in already try in Preferences-Accounts- and I only see three tabs: " Account Information ", " Mailboxes Behaivor " and " Advanced ". I don´t see the " Special Mailboxes " tab that you mention and I have also read about it. In Mailboxes Behaivor I can choose the option " Store sent messages on the server " and the Delete sent messages option is in " Never". If I choose not to Store sent messages on the server, nothing seems to happen. I hope you can help me with this information and I want to thank you again

Sent messages not displaying in "Sent Items"

I have AOL synched to my phone, and since the 1.4 upgrade, I've noticed that I cannot see email items I have sent in either my Pre Sent Items, or my AOL sent items (on the computer). Prior to the upgrade, I coudl see them. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Sent message not listed in 'Sent' box

My mail server is AOL. In Mail, I've got two sets of mailboxes per the default setup - my local in, sent and trash along with the AOL saved, sent and spam boxes from the AOL server.
The AOL boxes are always spot on, yet occasionally I will send a message and it won't appear in my local sent box. It happens sporadically.
How and why is this happening?
Thank you.

As an experiment, I tried deleting my Sent box (after archiving the things I cared about) and got no error msg re. "protected" boxes or anything else. Mail deleted the few remaining msgs from it but, instead of deleting the Sent box, added a superfluous toggle, i.e., as if it contained sub-boxes, which it didn't. Thereafter, I could send but no copies appeared in the Sent box. (Sound oddly similar?) "Rebuild" was grayed out for it, too.
I was able to correct everything by trashing the associated folder, restarting Mail, and then sending myself another msg to create a new Sent box for myself.
I'm suspecting a glitch created an extra, problematic Sent box on your system sometime ago and you've gotten used to it, thinking it's normal.
Do you find it useful to have 2 Sent boxes? If not, you may be able to delete one the same way I did and your problem should be solved.
I'm unclear as to how to determine which files to delete in home/library/mail.
Here's my Mail window:

Deleted messages not going into deleted folder

I am using an IMAP server and the most recent version of Mozilla Thunderbird. (I can't find the version but I just downloaded it this morning.) Under server settings, I have specified that deleted emails are to go into a "Deleted Items" folder. However, when I delete emails from my Inbox, they simply disappear. Any idea how to get them into the correct folder? I have attached a screen shot of server settings. Thanks for your help!

Bestweb does a great job of removing spam before it ever gets to my inbox. I get maybe 4-5/week and I permanently delete those.
I haven't done any compacting of folders yet, as I just started using Thunderbird a few weeks ago. Every 6 months, I move my 'Sent' and 'Deleted Items' to a local folder, where they are stored offline.
The "Deleted Items" folder is on the server. If I access it thought webmail, it has the same emails as Thunderbird on this computer. Using Thunderbird on this computer, I sent myself a test email and then deleted it. It does *not* appear in my Deleted Items folder on this computer nor does it appear in the Deleted Items on my webmail.
I also sent a test email to myself through webmail. If I delete it in webmail, it will show on my Deleted Items folder in webmail and in Thunderbird on this computer.
So, it seems it has something to do with Thunderbird. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks for your help.

Why are deleted messages not going to deleted folder

In Account settings > server settings I have set it to move deleted messages to a particular folder but thunderbird appears to be permanently deleting messages as I can't find them anywhere.
This is with an IMAP account.

Sent mails staying in sending and not going to sent mails

Hi everybody,
I have the following problem: Sent mails are staying in sending with 100% sent (showing activity, command+0) and not going to sent mails when they are actually sent and arrived to the recipient.
What can I do? Maybe reinstall it? Is there any other solution that might work?
Thanks, enjoy your day,
Cédric

Hello again,
In the screenshot you emailed me, there are files leftover from when this mailbox was used in Jaguar (10.2) or earlier, and also files leftover from when it was used in Panther (10.3.x) and Mail 1.3.x. Specifically all files except the folder Messages (and its contents) are no longer used by Mail -- you can check by using Get Info in them and you will see the dates last modified to all be prior to your upgrade to Tiger. How long ago did you upgrade? Did you find that all mailboxes appeared to have the messages in them that you knew were previously there (at the time of upgrade)? If so, quit Mail and in the Finder remove all files in the Sent Messages.mbox folder except the Messages folder. Then relaunch Mail and immediately use Rebuild.
However, if your Inbox and other mailbox have similar leftover files there might be some impact from that. Check the other mailboxes and let us know. See:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301315
If other xxxx.mbox folders have the Info.plist file, then leave it, and do not delete. If you upgraded recently, and you think messages that you saw immediately after upgrade were not all-inclusive, then post back. However, with this Sent Messages.mbox folder the Messages folder size exceeds the size of the mbox file (where message content was once stored) so it gives the appearance of a good, full, conversion.
If you remove the Leftover files from other mailboxes, I would suggest using Rebuild on each of them, although if they seem fine, otherwise it may not be needed. There is another procedure to force reindexing of all mailboxes (Rebuild freshens the Envelope Index with respect to only the one mailbox) if needed.

TS3276 Does anyone have problems with sent messages not showing in their Mail? I have two sent folders when really I only want one. Any tips?

Does anyone have problems with sent messages not showing in their Mail? I have two sent folders when really I only want one. Any tips?

Not sure if this is a fix, but I tried sending myself a test email from only the Bcc field, and lo and behold it now shows the Bcc field in all sent item previews;
...maybe leaving the 'To' field blank on purpose forced Mail to show it.
Rebooted the Mail program, still there - rebooted the machine, still there. Hope this is still relevant and it works for you too - J.

I use a gmail account for my mail. When I send an email I sometimes get multiple duplicates (up to 10-12) of the same sent message saved in my sent file. help

Did you check your user name and password in Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...tap your email account, tap SMTP, then tap the primary server name. Make sure the settings there are correct.

Mail: sent messages not in sent folder

Every time I send an email, especially with attachments, the mail is correctly delivered, but it don’t appear in the “Sent” folder.
If I send a message via webmail, it is correctly synced with the mail client (it appears in the sent folder on the server and on the Mac).
It’s surely a bug, all my settings are ok and I tried all the possible solutions suggested by others in this community and elsewhere before resigning.
I have 4 IMAP accounts and the synchronization is always very slow and time consuming.
This is unacceptable for a mail client..
Anyone have experienced this problem? Anyone has a definitive solution?
Thanks.

Any change?
Yes, it works, but it's a workaround to "prevent" the client to copy the message on the server.
The message is stored locally and I can't access it on my other devices..
I need that all messages are stored on the server.
Other clients do it perfectly, but I don't like their GUI and the fact that they're not integrated with the OS like Mail.
Since the problem does not occur with your workaround, I think that the bug is at some point during the sending process, especially when the message contains attachments and the activity window is "busy", filled with too many blue bars..

Message not saved in sent messages folder

Hi everybody,
When I send a mail by the Collaboration Launch Pad and check the option: "Save copy in Sent Messages Folder" I get this error:
"Message has been sent, but could not be saved in the sent messages folder; check the mail server entry in your user mapping data."
Please is anybody there who can help me to properly configurate that option or tell me how to remove it from the body?
Thanks in advance,
Antonio

Hi Antonio,
Saving the mesage means writing that e-mail in the senders "sent item" folder in the mailbox. Thus make sure that the users mail server name and user and password is correct for the system Exchange.
Also check SAP Note 738965.
Also there is this this specific port that should be open on the SMTP server for the mail to be saved in the "sent items" folder. I dont remember what port is it. Will try to figure out and let you know.
Also make sure that your Exchange transport has the sent items folder name.
Akhilesh
Using telnet check that the SMTP server can be reached on port 25. If not then there is no way you can save the messages in the sent items folder using the collaboration tools.

TS3276 Sent message not in sent folder...!!!

Sent messages don't always appear in sent folder, so I don't know if it has been sent or not - Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks for that hint. Unfortunately I was not so lucky as you were. Also when trashing the .plist only the mac.com account remains in the account list after restart of Apple Mail. All other accounts need to be reinstalled
Still Mail does not store the mails in the sent folder. Need to say:
- the "non-storing" is random, not all sent mails are affected. Sometime it is OK, sometimes not
- Not only the Mac account is affected, it can happen also on my office accounts.
I am happy for further hints

Messages not appearing in sent mail folders

We recently migrated from a linux environ to mac server snow leopard. I'm now using Thunderbird as a testbed for my mail client as we have deeply populated mac mail clients that we don't want to disturb if our migration goes bad. Previously, I used both the mail app on mac and Thunderbird as my mail clients depending... Previously, when I would send a msg from my blackberry it would appear in my sent mail folder (on any mail client). Now it does not. Any suggestions as to why? Thanks.

Can you see the sent message when using webmail on the server? If so you may just need to map the sent area of each mail client to the proper folder on the server, assuming you are using IMAP.
