Any idea why my sent messages are not stored on my Mac?

When I send mail from my iPhone or iPad, they appear in my sent folder, but not when I send from my MacBook. This even happened when I changed MacBook!
Thanks in advance
Niall

Try resetting your wireless router by unplugging the router from the power for about 30 seconds then plugging it back in.

  • Mail 3, smtp, IMAP: sent messages are not saved on server

    Hello,
    I had problems using Mail 3 after I upgraded to Leopard, so I used Thunderbird for the time being. With the update 10.5.1 I tried again: most problems solved BUT: sent messages are not saved on the server in mailbox "Sent".
    Some background: I deleted the folder "<User>/Library/Mail" and "<User>/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist" and configured Mail from scratch.
    To be sure: I still have Thunderbird installed, and when I send with Thunderbird: a copy is placed in "Sent".
    Another thing I noticed: it takes more than a minute to send from Mail 3 and a few seconds when I send from Thunderbird. I have another Macbook Pro with 10.5.0 installed: same problem with sending.
    Any help is appreciated.

    Well, be stumped I did all that, but to be sure, I did it again:
    I have a lot folders with subfolders and they are shown under my account name.
    I created a new folder "test" in my IMAP account and designated it to be the new "Sent" folder. It replaces my previous Sent folder in the group Inbox, Drafts, Trash. My previous Sent folder now appears under my account name as a "normal" folder.
    I send a message and the Activity monitor says: +"Delivering message: copying message"+. After a minute Mail is done. I check my (new) "Sent" folder and it's empty. I double check in webmail: it's empty.
    So I go to the Finder and look in my IMAP folder: <user>/Library/Mail/<IMAP-account>/test.imapmbox and there is no folder "Messages", only Info.plist.
    Then I try to move a message to the "Sent' folder: for a minute the Activity moinor says: Copying messages: copying message" and then Mail prompts: +"The message "testing" could not be+
    +The connection to the server mail.hicetnunc.nl on port 143 timed out"+.
    So it looks like Mail has a problem with the default "Sent" folder: it cannot copy messages to that folder at all! Aha!
    But then I try to move a message to a "normal" IMAP folder: same thing! Mail cannot copy to any folder!
    In both instances Mail says: +"The message "..." could not be be moved to the mailbox "..."+
    +The connection to the server mail.hicetnunc.nl on port 143 timed out"+
    Last thing: I try to move a message to a folder in the same account again. But in the process I quit Mail. I open Mail again and Mail is performing pending operations: copying message. After a while Mail prompts: +"Operation could not be completed. (MFMessageErrorDomain error 1028.)"+ and crashes... I open Mail again and it tries to peform pending operations. Again: an error message and Mail crashes. This keeps going on so I delete the whole account and set it up again. Nothing's changed...
    I can receive and send, but sent messages are not copied to the "Sent" folder and I cannot move messages around within a IMAP account. But TADA!!!: I can move messages from account to account.

  • HT204022 I have iPhoto, iOS, etc. all up to date.... however my iPad, iPhone, and Mac PhotoStreams all contain different pictures and aren't the same. Any ideas why? I'd rather not reset the whole thing if I don't have too.

    OK, restart in Safe Mode, this will clear some caches. It's possible one or more is corrupt. To restart in Safe Mode when you hear the start up tone hold down the Shift Key until you see a progress bar. Let it fully boot then restart normally and test.
    Also I am assuming you have checked Finder - Preferences  - General and see what boxes are checked in "Show these items on desktop." You can also mount an item in Disk Utility, simply highlight it and then look in the File menu for Mount.....

  • Sent Messages are not saved in Sent Mailbox

    It was working correctly but suddenly all my sent messages are not saved in the Sent Mailbox. I follow all the Mail Help instructions but nothing seems to work. Hope that someone can help me. I asked for help on december 14 but it was not helpful

    The mailboxes drawer contains all mailboxes under In, Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk (if you have Junk Mail set to automatic).
    If you have a .Mac or IMAP type account, you also have an account named icon for the .Mac or IMAP type account at the bottom of the mailboxes drawer. It is named by the Account Description you provided/entered for the account under the Account Information tab for the account preferences.
    If you select save Sent messages on the server for a .Mac or IMAP type account, the account's Sent mailbox will be available under the account named icon in the mailboxes drawer along with all other server stored mailboxes.
    To open the account named icon for your .Mac account to reveal the server stored mailboxes including the account's Sent mailbox, select the black triangle beside your .Mac account icon in the mailboxes drawer pointing it down.
    Select the account's Sent mailbox and at the menu bar, go to Mailbox > Use This Mailbox For and select Sent.
    If you deselect store Sent messages on the server for the account preferences, the account's Sent mailbox will be available under Sent in the mailboxes drawer and you can't use "Use This Mailbox For" for mailboxes stored locally on the hard drive. It can only be used for .Mac or IMAP type account mailboxes that are stored on the server.

  • Lion IMAP account - Sent messages are not sync

    Hi all,
    this question is not strictly related to Lion, as this "problem" sussist even in the old Leopard, however I was believing it woul have been fixed with the new version.
    I've my Mac Book Pro with all my email configured as IMAP.
    This is great, I see my Inbox with the same exact copy of the message available online. When I send a message, this is stored in the sent mailbox, and this is great too.
    But why all the old messages are not seen in the sent mailbox as well?
    It doesn't make sense to me, and there is any option that make a difference. I was initially believing the "keep a local copy of the message" was affecting this.
    But the most frustrating thing is that at the very bottom of the left aside there is a second entry, one for each account, which essentially show me a sort of "raw" account with all the folders and labelled messages as the online structure. Is it possible to get rid of that too?
    Many thanks
    Andrea

    I've had the same problem for a while, even before Leopard. It definitely occurs more often when sending bigger messages (i.e. with attachments), and on slower connections (cell card, or even shaky wifi). Always unsettling when I notice it, and seriously frustrating when a Send fails and I've forgotten to Save as Draft.

  • Sent Messages are not allway saved

    I use Mail with several imap account and for the last few weeks I recognized
    that the emails I did sent were not allways saved in the 'sent messages' folder of the corresponding imap account. They are sent but they just dissapear, also on the imap server itself.
    Deleting Envelope Index and restoring the sent folder did not solve this strange behavior.
    It seems that sometimes it depends on wether an attachment was added to the mail or not.
    But the sent messages _are saved_ when I first press the 'save as draft' button and right after that press the send button.
    Any ideas?

  • Why my sent emails are not showing up in the sent box

    The emails I'm sending are not showing up in my sent box. Why is this happening? 

    - Did they show before?
    - Are you sending from the mail app?
    - Try sending from another account.
    - Try a reset. Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • AOL and mail some sent messages are not saved

    I have been having a problem with sent messages using mac mail and my aol account. Occasionally the message will get hung up and will take a long time to send. The send progress bar fills up and the message is eventually sent, but it is not copies to my sent folder. This happens for about one out of every ten emails that I send.

    Hello p:
    Welcome to Apple discussions.
    That is, I am relatively sure, an AOL server problem (happens to me occasionally).
    You might try Open DNS (the free one) to see if it will address other possible problems.

  • Sent messages are not sync'd with Entourage 2008 folders

    1 week into the PC to Mac transition. All of my inbox messages were sync'd with Entourage but not the sent messages. I use comcast mail. I am able to send and receive messages.

    I have a similar occasional problem with an IMAP account using a Comcast Business Class Exchange server. I use Mail and my iPhone to access the account; I'm running OS X 10.6.4 on my laptop but my "sent messages" issue predates the latest release.
    The first time I noticed this issue I thought, "I'll just access my mail via the Comcast web portal. It'll be in the 'sent' folder there." No dice. The "sent" messages simply never stay on the server, yet my recipients get them.
    It's distressing. First, the solution would appear to be a switch to a MS mail client, which I swore off years ago. Second, I rely on having a "sent" message as a record. I switched off IDLE per your suggestion, Ernie, but otherwise I'm in the same boat as the others here. Please keep this thread alive. I'm hopeful that this can be resolved.

  • 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.

  • Any idea why my saved documents are unable to be read? "convert file from" box pops up, applications are listed to use but if any are chosen, the file then opens but is in symbols

    When attempting to open saved documents for viewing a box pops up "convert file from" with applications that can be chosen from to use. When any of the options are chosen the document then opens but is in symbols and is unreadable. This is happening with all saved documents.  Can you offer any help with this?

    Hi,
    If you don't find any clue, you can send your file to me (guillaume.rouyreATgcosiDOTcom, replace cap) so I can give a try.
    Hope this helps,
