A sent message never made it to Sent Folder
This is my environment: Using Mail on an iMac and the MobilMe web interface sometimes. IMAP is what I am using with Mail; OS is 10.5.4. The problem message is one sent from the iMac using Mail. A single message is still missing from my Sent folder after more than 2 days. This message was sent on Friday and I received a reply from recipient on Friday within an hour; it is now Sunday and still no copy in Sent folder on the iMac or in MobileMe. The option for Save sent items to server is checked in Mail on the iMac and in MobileMe with the Web interface. There is only, as far as I can tell, one missing sent item. Other messages before and after have been handled okay as far as I can tell. The only difference between the missing message any any other is that it had a 1MB PDF attachment. In the past I have experienced a delay in seeing a message with an attachment show up in the Sent folder, but this is the first time it has gone completely into a black hole. I reported it in a MobileMe Chat session yesterday and was told that everything looked okay and that it was just a "weird fluke." Has anyone gotten a more helpful answer for a similar problem? As it stands, I don't know whether the problem is MobileMe, Mail, IMAP, an OS security problem or ?
I have experienced this issue along with two users on my network. Unfortunately I do not have resolution, as I am seeking one myself. I access multiple email accounts - IMAP, POP and a Mobile Me account. My network users have multiple IMAP and POP accounts set up, but no Mobile Me account. I use 10.5.4, my users are on 10.5.3. Do you have more than 1 email accounts defined, or just the Mobile Me account?

}Well, that unformatted and unindented code is hard to read, so I may be wrong, but I don't see where you call the Transport.send() method.

Duplicate Messages in Sent Folder--Apple mail and gmail
I recently started using apple mail for my two gmail accounts.
I have properly configured all folders (highlight "trash" from gmail and click use this mailbox for..)
since i have two gmail accounts, i did this for both of them.
i did a couple of test emails from my main gmail account. now, in my sent folder it's showing duplicates for what i've sent, one from my main gmail account, one from my second gmail account.
I've tried to uncheck the box where it saves messages on server in preferences, and that seemed to work. however, i checked on my iphone and my sent message showed up..not in my main gmail account sent mail, but in my secondary gmail account sent mail.
can this be fixed?check out the settings here: http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=78892#
specifically:
From the Mail menu, click Preferences > Accounts > Mailbox Behaviors
Drafts:
Store draft messages on the server > do NOT check
Sent:
Store sent messages on the server > do NOT check
Junk:
Store junk messages on the server > checked
Delete junk messages when > Never
Trash:
Move deleted messages to the Trash mailbox > do NOT check
Store deleted messages on the server > do NOT check -
Can't read messages in sent folder
We can't read any messages in the sent folder. The window only shows the following message:
+The message from Nicki Frech <[email protected]> concerning “test” has not been downloaded from the server. You need to take this account online in order to download it.+
We cannot see what settings to change so that the sent messages are available on the computer. Many thanks for any help!Have a look in Mail > Preferences > Accounts, Special Mailboxes tab at Sent, and see what it reports for, +Erase copies of sent messages when:+
If it is a short period like one day, or on quitting Mail, then they may be erased accordingly.
You could set it to never to keep them permanently.

All messages in sent folder are gone! :(
Hi there,
All messages in the "Sent" folder in the Mail application are gone!
I had around 2,000 messages, some with large attachments.
Did "Mail" just deleted them?!
Could I somehow recover the lost messages?
Please help if you know anything about this unfortunate incident...
Thanks!
1.6 GHz powerPC G5 Mac OS X (10.3.9)You have adequate free hard drive space - with a 74.5 GB HD capacity, you should keep no less than 7.5 - 8 GB free.
What is the overall size of the Mail folder?
The Mail.app alone requires the same amount of free hard drive space as the overall size of the Mail folder for general housekeeping purposes during use. If you don't have adequate free hard drive space, application preference files can become corrupt or be lost and data loss can also occur.
Each email client has limits and with Jaguar/Panther Mail, you shouldn't allow a mailbox to exceed 1GB in size and with Tiger Mail, 2GB.
Better to utilize user created "On My Mac" mailboxes to sort received and sent messages by category not deleted that you need to save once a month or so. I've been using the Mail.app exclusively since Jaguar was introduced, thru Panther and now Tiger and I've never experienced the same. Before upgrading to Tiger, I didn't allow a mailbox to exceed 500 MB or so and I use the Rebuild Mailbox function on the most active mailboxes on a regular basis - once a month or every couple of weeks depending on activity.
I also use SuperDuper to maintain a bootable clone of my hard drive saved to an external Firewire drive.
Also, you wrote "When a mailbox has an "overstuffed" mailbox issue
which means the mailbox is corrupt, a good number of messages are
incorrectly stored in another and/or other package files. "
-where should I start looking ?
There is no other place to look. The other package content files for this mailbox have no significant size. -
No messages in Local Sent folder
I have setup Mail to NOT store sent messages on the server. According to the help file when using an IMAP setup, as I am, I should be able to have a local copy on my computer of items that are sent:
To save sent messages for IMAP accounts:
■
To store copies of messages you send on the mail server, choose Mail > Preferences, click Accounts, and select an account. Click Mailbox Behaviors and select “Store sent messages on the server.” _*If this option is not selected, sent messages are stored on your computer and you won’t be able to see them if you check your mail from another computer._*
Yet if I disable the save sent messages on the server I can find NO sent messages in any folder in Mail on the local computer. If I ENABLE save sent messages on the server a copy of all sent messages is correctly saved on the server.
Thunderbird correctly stores sent messages locally on my computer with the same exact IMAP settings and account, so I know that saving sent messages locally works with my IMAP configuration.
Obviously, I could do an automatic CC on all sent messages, and see if I can create a rule to automatically move those messages to my local sent folder, but that sure seems like using a sledge hammer to swat a fly approach.
Does Mail not really do what I want, or do I have something messed up?I just enabled the "store messages on server" selection on my mac mail for the same issue. I wanted my sent items viewable on all computers as I had before. I think it must have changed during the "mobile me" switchover.
Now that I have made that selection, all my "sent" mail disappeared immediately, but I found it all further down in my Left Column folder area, in a section called " On My Mac" I found another sent messages folder. They all went there from my .mac account, when I selected "store a copy on server" . I have now sent off my first new message from my .mac account, and it shows up as the only "sent" message, on all computers with my account. All the other messages are in the other folder, described above.
Definitely something changed with the "mobileme" migration and it's not quite right. It's light starting over again.
But in my case the messages are there, just in a different location. -
A pop-up window headed "Sending Message - Re: ..." reports status as "Copying Message to Sent folder..."
with a progress bar that is full and green, but it never finishes. If I abort the process and close Thunderbird, when I reopen it the message is not in the Sent folder.Try repair Sent folder:
*Click with right button mouse on '''Sent''' >> '''Properties''' >> '''Repair Folder'''
Try also compact your folders:

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. -
Messages sent on device do not show up on Mac in ICloud Sent folder - Why?
When I send a message on my IPad, it shows up on the Cloud, but does not appear in my Sent folder in Mail on my Mac ICloud mail account
Joelrsny had the much easier fix:
For Sent folder not showing on the iPhone.
ALL of these ways work to add a Gmail account to the iPhone. Its not how you add it, its the settings in Gmail causing these folders not to appear.
Do not add the account to the iPhone first. Go to Gmail.com in a browser, log in to your email account and hit settings at the top right.... Select the Labels Tab at the top. On the right, you will see check boxes. Check all the folders you want to appear in imap accounts. Once you check them, go and add the account by just picking add Gmail account on your iphone settings for mail. ALL the folders you checked will appear...
Done! -
i just updated my ipod 4g to ios 5.1 and i cant download apps a message pops up saying to type in password for caldav something something the thing is that i have no idea what my password is i never made an account for that so please help
Go to iTunea>Preferences>Devices and see if there is a backupright at the time you did the update. Then try restoring from that backup. If the apps are in your iTunes library, any app data will be restored to the iPod.
When restoring from an iOS 4 (or later) backup, if the device had a passcode set, iTunes will ask if you want to set a passcode (and remind you that you had protected your device with a passcode). iTunes will not ask you to set a passcode when restoring from iOS 3.x and prior backups.
Therefore, remembe the passcode that you enter this time.
It appears that if you restore from a backup, that backup is not subseqyently overwritten by the next backup. -
I have a total of 3 email addresses currently set up in Thunderbird. Two of them configured correctly with the inbox, sent folder etc. However, one of them is missing all folders except the inbox. It allows me to email out but then says its sending to sent folder but never does so because it doesnt exist so it never goes away until I hit cancel. When I go into copies and folders its clearly checked that all sent items should go to a sent folder. How do I fix this?
Thanks!

Rule Forwarded Messages are NOT in Sent folder

Message was edited by: derryhummaThanks 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 -
My sent messages are not going in my sent folder... Why not?
When I send a message it should appear in my Sent Folder... They don't... Where are they going? My sent folder doesn't work! How do I fix this?
You do not say whether you are using a standard Pop account using it's own folders Or a Pop mail account using Global Inbox(Local Folders) OR whether this is an IMAP mail account?
So the answer depends on your setup:
'Tools' > 'Account Settings' > 'Copies & Folders' for the mail account.
* Select: 'Place a copy in'
If Pop mail account using own folders:
* Select : 'Sent' folder on and pop mail account
If Pop mail account using Global Inbox(Local Folders):
* Select : 'Sent' folder on and Local Folders.
If IMAP mail account:
* Select : 'Other' and then choose the Sent folder on imap mail account.
* Note: that sometimes the 'Sent' folder on server may be called something similar eg: 'Sent Items'
Click on OK. -
Sent messages do not appear in sent folder - IMAP server
In my mac mail program, I have a .mac account and a gmail account, both of which work fine on all accounts. I also use another email account which is on an IMAP server. If I send an email from the webmail site, the sent message appears in my sent folder both at the webmail site AND in the folder on my mac email client. If I send an email using the mac email client, the message arrives to the destination, but no sent copy appears either in the sent folder on the mac client or at the webmail site. Please help!!
powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.5)
powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.5)Hi David,
Where in the Sidebar to the Mail window, does the
Sent folder appear, if one does, for the .mac
account?
Ernie
Ernie,
The sent folder (little airplane icon) for the .mac folder automatically appeared under my email accounts (in fact, both sent accounts - for my gmail and .mac - appeared as subfolders of the sent folder) when I set those accounts up. Those both work fine, though. It's the IMAP account that isn't working.
