And the sent messages went where...?
Hope someone can help - my girlfriend's iBook is fairly new but she's been having problems in mail - basically none of her sent messages have shown up in the 'sent' folder for the last five days. Before that they are all there. We're pretty sure she hasn't overloaded her mailbox and has recently junked some messages so she's got about 100 in her inbox, 100 in the sent with no serious attachments.
Any ideas gratefully received.
What type of mail account is this (POP, IMAP, .Mac)? If IMAP or .Mac, what are the Preferences > Accounts > Mailbox Behaviors > Sent settings?

I tried to sync my iphone4 to my pc (not mac) and the following message went out: I tunescould not back up the iphone because an error occurred I restore my phone but nothing happened. What shall I do? (my ipad is working perfectly when i sync it)
I dont know why this happens.Unfortunately, "because and error occured" doesn't give you much to go on. Some general things I would try if you haven't already:
Use Disk Utility on your mac to repair disk permissions, then reboot and try backing up again.
Use Finder to go to ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/, then control-click on the Backup folder and select Get Info, then check Sharing & Permissions at the bottom and make sure your username has read & write priviledges
Try closing all apps, then reset your phone: double-tap the home button, tap and hold the apps at the bottom until they wiggle, tap the minus sign on all apps to close them. Then reset your phone: hold the on/off and home buttons until you see the Apple logo (ignore the off slider that appears first), and release
Try a different usb to dock connector cable; ensure that your case isn't interfering with a good connection to the dock connector at the bottom of your phone; clean the dock connector at the bottom of your phone (e.g., with a dry toothbrush); troubleshoot your usb connection (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1286)
I know this looks like a laundry list, but unfortunately it's hard to isolate the problem without a clear error message. If the problem persists, you might try posting in the iMac or iTunes forums for other ideas. -
Apple Mail and the "sent messages" verus "sent" folder
I have a Mac Pro and a MacBook Pro, both running Snow Leopard with all the latest patches.
In mail, in what appears to be the same mail configuration and the same account, I have sent messages being stored in a "sent messages" folder on the IMAP server and the other is storing it a "sent" folder.
I can't seem to find a way to get them both to use the same folder and I don't see that in the "Mailbox behavior" tab.
Any ideas how to get them to use the same folder?Where is the Sent Messages folder listed? If it is not under MAILBOXES but in an IMAP folder, select it and go to Mailbox menu, Use this mailbox for>Sent.
It should disappear and sent messages then appear in the Sent folder. -
Changing where the sent messages are stored
Hi, I was wondering is there any way you can change where the sent messages are stored. I have switched from a few programs.. and there is a 'sent' folder and ' sent messages' folder on my folder list in addition to that of what mail is putting them in. I just want one folder.
Sounds like you are accessing an IMAP type account.
If so, is this the only email account and account type you are accessing with the Mail.app? -
I just switched from Outlook to Mail and now the sent messages are not being displayed. Help, please.
Back up all data. Rebuild the mailbox.

I'm stuck at the sent messages display and I need to see my inbox
When I start my computer and click on the Thunderbird icon the screen that is displayed is the list of sent messages. I am unable to change this screen. I did touch the GO at the top of the page and from there I saw the in box and trash but could not get that to do any thing. Shutting down and starting over didn't help I"m just stuck at the sent messages. I cant even read the messages sent to help me!
helpIf you do not have the menu bar with File-Edit-View etc showing at the top, press the '''alt '''key to make it appear.
From the menu bar select '''View-Layout-Folder Pane'''
Now your folders will show down the left margin. Select the one you want to go to. -

When deleting a user created folder from On My Mac in Mac Mail the sent messages that are part of conversations that reside there are not deleted, only the received mail gets deleted. Any way for both the received and sent mail that resides there to be deleted?
I create a lot of project folders where i keep all my conversations regarding the project. Once the project is finished i would like to just delete the folder and get rid of all the emails associated with it but when i delete the folder i've noticed that only received messages are deleted. Now I am stuck trying to sort through my sent folder for messages that were returned there after the conversations was supposedly deleted.Mail/Preferences/Viewing - un-check include related messages, delete the folder, then go back and reset yo include.

IMAP email and the sent, drafts and trash folders
I am using Mail 2.1.3 and have set up my accounts to work through IMAP from the server into my account.
I can send and receive email absolutely fine, however it is not saving any sent emails and it won't save any emails to the draft folder. I have tested from the webmail on the server, the sent email goes into the sent folder on the web, and then I also see it in Mac Mail.
But if I send an email from Mail, it won't go into the sent folder.
Any ideas what I need to do to get this working properly? I have been on to the provider and they say it is something to do with my email settings but won't give me any more than that.
Please help.Thanks Fred,
I had those checked already but it still wasn't working. In the end I found the below link to another post where I needed to put INBOX into the IMAP Path Prefix box in the Advanced section.
Once this had been done and I sent another message, the sent box from the IMAP account appeared in the Mail sent box and it's all working now.
You were right with the "Sent Messages" folder, this also appeared after I had done the above step.
Thanks again.
Simon

I just replaced my hard drive and restored everything from Time machine. However, I am unable to open iphoto and the following message appears Your photo library was not found. Do you want to find your iPhoto Library?
Where do I find this library?
thanks
ShakTwas quite a hassle if I am honest which was eventually resolved but I don't feel qualified to help anyone through the process as it required a trip to my local apple store and a genius bar appointment.
Personally, I would do anything like moving pictures out of folders etc. Certainly not creating a new users. i don't think that is an elegant solution
Try the following which MAY just about rescue the situation for you but if they don't work you may have to do something more drastic.
(1) Holding down Cmd & Alt at the same time, start iPhoto by clicking on the iPhoto icon. From the resulting menu choose Rebuild photo library by selecting all available options given to you and then pressing REBUILD!
If that doesn't work
(2) Fire up Utilities. Go to migration assistant. Chose 'From another Time machine back-up'. Open the 'Users' option that comes up next and from there select Pictures, then uncheck everything else like Applications etc (you don't want to do a full migration of everything) and click go.
If that doesn't work, take a deep breath and this step is rather complicated but it worked for me. First of all close iPhoto! Then go to new Finder window.
From the Finder window choose Pictures, then iPhoto library, press CMD and the letter i. It brings up a new window. Go to Sharing & permissions. From there select the padlock to unlock settings. and then select User account, then press the 'cog' icon next to +/- abd choose Apply to enclosed items.
This may take a while. Once completed, re-open iPhoto.
And that should (I stress should) cure it.
Good luck. -
When I send text messages to my wife's iphone I receive the sent message to my iphone. Is there anyway to prevent this from happening?
Having seperate apple ID's will fix it, but here's how to fix it without adding a new ID.
Go to settings, messages, send and receive, be sure your number is the only one checked. If her number is checked as well you will receive your texts to her as well. -
I dropped my iphone 4s (it had an otterbox-thick case on it at the time of drop) last night and the screen quickly went to different colored stripes then to black. The phone wouldn't work. This morning, I was pressing all the buttons I could-at the same time and the phone turned on with the battery completely depleted. At the time of the drop the phone had 98% charge. I plugged the phone in and began charging, however, the screen shakes. Is there a fix for the shaking of the screen? The phone works otherwise. Unfortunately, I don't have warranty on it and have only had the phone since November.
Obviously your phone was damaged by the fall. Take it in for evaluation, servicing and/or replacement at an Apple store or authorized service provider.
Since it is out of warranty you will, most likely, have to pay. -
