Apple Mail is cc'ing me on all new sent messages

A couple of days ago, my wife's Apple Mail started cc'ing her on all new messages she sent. When looking at a copy of one of the cc'd messages, it looks like she actually forwarded it to herself, which she did not. We have checked her rules and she doesn't have any, save for the Apple RSS feed rules that were originally set up with Mail.
We would be most grateful for any assistance that anyone could provide with this enquiry.

Have you checked Mail Preferences > Composing > "Automatically cc myself"?

GMAIL Pop and Apple Mail 4.2: Doesn't Download all New Mail at Once

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone encountered this issue. I currently use GMAIL and am popping my mail onto my Mac Mail 4.2. Everything seems to be working fine except that when I download new mail, it downloads it in small chunks. It doesn't grab all the new mail all at once.
So for example: I check GMAIL web and I know I have 10 new mail messages.
When I click "Get Mail" in the Mail app, I get 3 new messages. I click on "Get Mail" again, and then it gets 4 new messages. And then I do it again, and then it gets the final 3 messages.
Is there a reason why it does this? Is this a GMAIL config or Apple mail config issue?
Thanks

First of all, confirm that you have set the Gmail account up as POP -- the default in Mail 4 when newly setting one up is IMAP, but POP setup can be accomplished. If the account was the result of earlier version, and merely now the result of an Upgrade Snow Leopard, then previous setup as POP should have carried over. Open Mail Preferences/Accounts/Account Information to confirm Account Type.
Then via browser access to your Gmail POP/IMAP settings, confirm that the appropriate Enable selections have been made.

TS3276 I have installed OS X Mavericks on macbook pro, macbook air & iMac but I am having terrible trouble with apple Mail. I need to take all accounts online frequently OR worse I have to quit mail and restart computer. Is anyone else having problems?

I have installed OS X Mavericks on macbook pro, macbook air & iMac but I am having terrible trouble with apple Mail. I need to take all accounts online frequently OR worse I have to quit mail and restart computer. Is anyone else having problems?

I just checked to see if the update to OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 solved any of the issues outlined in my previous post, and to my dismay, nothing has changed -- all of the previous problems persist.
My iMac (8) -- it's renamed itself eight times since the recent troubleshoot with the Apple tech rep -- shows up as a shared device in Finder on my MacBook Pro, but when I click on it, I cannot establish a connection using "Connect As". So I've attempted to connect using the menu "Go/Connect to Server...", using both (alternately) the iMac's name and IP address, to no avail. I get a message which reads: "There was a problem connecting to the server 'Peter's iMac (8)'. This server may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again."
Here's what I know:
The server -- Peter's iMac (8) does exist;
The server -- Peter's iMac (8) is available at this time;
The server name -- Peter's iMac (8) -- is correct, as specified in the system sharing preferences;
The server IP address is correct, as specified in the system sharing preferences;
The network connection is active when I attempt to connect.
I'm convinced the problems stem directly from the OS X Yosemite update. None of this was ever remotely an issue in the previous OS X's -- any of them. This is maddening! What can be done? Apple?? Anyone???

When exporting and then importing Apple Mail from one mac to another I get "Some messages could not be imported. Partially imported mailbox will be labeled IMPORT" . That mailbox does not appear.

When exporting and then importing Apple Mail from one mac to another I get "Some messages could not be imported. Partially imported mailbox will be labeled IMPORT" . That mailbox does not appear.
Any help would be welcome

This is a bug in Mail. The mailbox archiving function does not include attachments, which gives the error with the import. To workaround this you can create a mailbox in Mail and copy to it all emails you want to export. Then go in Finder to [user]/Library/Mail/Mailboxes en select the created mailbox. Copy this to the public directory of your other mac. Then start Mail on that other mac and import the mailbox from the public directory. Should work now.

Can Apple Mail be set up to reply to same address message was sent to without having to manually select?

Is there a way to set up Apple Mail so it replies from the same address the message was sent to without having to manually select which email address I'm sending it from? I have multiple Gmail accounts that I forward to one main account and in Gmail it's possible to do this. It's great and super easy. Since I started using the Mail program, I'm constantly sending email from the wrong address and as far as I can tell (which doesn't mean too much) there is no way to prevent this in Apple Mail.
Can anyone help, or at least confirm that there is no actual way to do this? It seems like such a simple option to have, and yet...I dont' see that it's possible.
Thanks!

I'm thinking an Applecript might do it. I am assuming you have all those email accounts set up in Mail so that you can send from them. I'm no Applescript guru but I've thrown this together from some stuff found around the Internet. I doubt it is very robust but give it a shot and tell me if it does what you are asking. I'm sure it could be improved.
This particular script replies to all recipients. Find the line with "and reply to all" and delete those words for a it to be a simple reply.
If you haven't used Applescript, open the Applescript Editor app, copy the script from below, paste it in, compile it. Select an email message then run it. If this works for you, the next step is to create a service from it and give it a keyboard shortcut.
-- Purpose of this script is to send an email response from the account
-- that received the email. This is mainly useful for mail that has been
-- forwarded to another account and you wish to reply from the original
-- account.
tell application "Mail"
-- must have an email message selected/open.
          set theSelection to selection
          if theSelection is {} then return
activate
          set theMessage to item 1 of theSelection
          set theRecipients to the recipients of theMessage
-- Search the recipients and find one that matches up with one of your email accounts
          set theSendingAccount to ""
          repeat with i from 1 to (count of items of theRecipients)
                    repeat with j from 1 to (count of email addresses of every account)
                              if (address of item i of theRecipients) = (email addresses of account j as string) then set theSendingAccount to (email addresses of account j as rich text)
                    end repeat
          end repeat
-- If a match was found, create a reply from that account
          if theSendingAccount ≠ "" then
                    set theOutgoingMessage to reply theMessage with opening window and reply to all
                    set sender of theOutgoingMessage to theSendingAccount
          end if
end tell

Upon opening Mail this morning to check when I'd sent a draft I wrote yesterday, I noticed all my sent messages are missing.

Upon opening Mail this morning to check when I'd sent a draft I wrote yesterday, I noticed all my sent messages are missing. I had mail dating back ten years in there. When I go to Time Machine to restore, only today's Sent Mailbox is available. Time Machine has been backing up seamlessly for months, so there should not be a problem finding a backup. What's going on and how do I restore the Sent Mailbox?
I am using 10.7.4 on a MacBook Pro
Laura

Unless your TM drive is messed up, the backups should be there. So relax a bit.
The mail is stored in your Home Library folder, not the hard drive Library folder. The Home Library folder is hidden in Lion. To get to it, select Go in the Finder and hold the option key down. Select Library in the submenu. A Finder window will open up in your Home Library.
From there, you will navigate to the Mail folder, then V2 folder. All main mailboxes for each account will be in their account folder. There is another folder called Mailboxes which will store all local folders.
If you select the V2 folder in the Finder window, then enter TM, you should be able to go back into time.
Before doing anything else, first open Disk Utility and verify that your hard drive is OK.
If it is, go into the hard drive and navigate to the Home Library/Mail/V2 folder. Open each mail account and click on the mailbox your messages were in, like the inbox. See if the messages folder contains messages.
I just want you to see if the mailboxes are in the account folders and that they contain data. If so, we will continue from there. There's no use in trying to restore if there are problems just yet. Let's verify this first, then we will proceed.

iCloud does not delete your mail when full, you have some other problem.

Lost all my Sent Messages / How can I find them?

I lost all my Sent Messages and I need them very much!! How can I recover them?

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions ...
Are you using Mac Mail or internet based like Yahoo or GMail?
If it's Mac Mail, with the Mail application open, from the Menu Bar click Mail/Preferences/Accounts/Mailbox Behaviors. You will see Drafts, Sent, Junk and Trash. Where it says Sent, do you have the button selected where it says: Store sent messages on the server. ???
This from the Mac Mail Help Viewer:
I can't find email messages stored on the mail server
If you have an IMAP email account and you set the account preferences to store copies of messages (draft, sent, junk, or trash) on the IMAP mail server, you might experience situations in which your messages are not stored where you expected.
When Mail attempts to store messages on the server, it looks for specific mailboxes, by name, in which to put the messages. If Mail doesn't find those mailboxes on the server, it tries to create them. If Mail can't create them on the server, it can't store the messages. For example, Mail looks on the server for a mailbox called Sent Messages in which to put the sent messages. If Mail can't find a Sent Messages mailbox on the server, it tries to create one. If it cannot, it doesn't save copies of messages you send. You might be able to address this issue if there is another mailbox on the IMAP server (for example, Sent Items) that contains the messages you're looking for. You can have Mail use that mailbox to store its sent messages. To do so, select that mailbox (listed under the account's name and icon) in the Mail viewer window, choose Mailbox > Use This Mailbox For and then choose Drafts, Junk, Sent, or Trash, as applicable. You can select any mailbox on your IMAP server to use to store draft, sent, junk, or deleted messages.
If you change the account preferences to no longer store copies of messages on the mail server, you'll see that messages aren't where they used to be. To use sent messages as an example: If you were saving sent messages on the server and then change your settings to save those messages on your computer, the Sent mailbox will change to contain only messages stored on your computer; messages that were stored on the server will no longer appear in that mailbox. Instead, you'll see those messages are now located under the account's name and icon at the bottom of the list of mailboxes, in a mailbox called Sent Messages. Similarly, if you change from saving sent messages on your computer to saving them on the server, the Sent Messages mailbox will change to contain only messages stored on the server. You'll now see the messages that were saved on your computer in a mailbox called Sent Messages, followed by the account name in parentheses, such as Sent Messages (.Mac Account).

After upgrading to iOS 5 I have lost all my sent messages'all my deleted messages have returned ,2 of which I also can't delete!

After upgrading to ios5 all my sent messages disappeared,my deleted messages returned,a couple of which I also cannot delete!Anyone any ideas?I am thinking I should have stayed with ios4,as ios5 seems to be pitched at iPad 2 users.

Thanks for the clarification. Yes, I do access my email from 2 different sources.
FYI, I use the POP mailserver as I need most of the information to be loaded onto my PC while on a plane / not connected to the interenet.
The primary use of mail on my iPhone is to be available as much as possible - even when I'm away from my office.
Thanks again for your help. I'll start deleting them in segments of 100.......

All my Sent Messages are gone!

I have all my Sent messages locally on my laptop, as well as on .Mac; around 700-800 messages. Yesterday, all was well. Today, I tried to access a mail I had send earlier and Mail said something with the mail not being accessible offline and that I had to set the mailbox to ONLINE. Right, that was not possible, as ONLINE was grayed out. I set it to OFFLINE and then set it to ONLINE.
Now, all but three messages are gone! I don't see them on .Mac and they are not on my laptop, I think.
Can somebody please help me with this very big problem?

Beside your inbox and Sent folders (on the right side) is there a triangle?
If there is, click the triangle to go "online"
If it is not there, and you did have messages for awhile, I suggest trying the rebuild option if you haven't already done so. You can do that by click on Mailbox -> Rebuild
Alternatively (if this is an IMAP account), you could delete the account and re-add it.

Apple Mail 7.3 - Always re-synchronizes all IMAP folders

I've been going back and forth with Apple Mail, changing clients every so often (Postbox, AirMail, whichever) when I get frustrated with Apple Mail (post-Mavericks update).
Anyways, with the Version 7.3 (1878.2) build, I figured I would give it another try to see if they've finally squashed enough bugs to make it useable.
Why (why why why why) is the software consistently trying to synchronize every single IMAP folder I have in my gmail account? Every time I open Mail and then check out the activity window, you see it consistently entereing and exiting IDLE states, trying to synchronize my many folders (I like to store and keep many parent/child folders).
Because it is consistently doing this over and over, when I go to file a message and it dissapears from my inbox, I can click away from the inbox and click right back to it, and my message comes right back (because it hasn't been processed yet due to the other activities going on with sync'ing).
I consider myself fairly proficient with self-servicing my mac woes, but this one has me stumped. Is Mail being extremely inefficient, or is this user-er
TIA
Mark

Apple Mail has always done this for IMAP accounts and not just for GMail either. I have one particular user - the boss (of course), who has a huge email account with many folders on the server, this user (of course) is also prone to clicking on many messages and folders and doing in rapid succession many moves, deletes and replies, this along with the massive resyncing of folders brings Mail to its knees. The boss will then unfairly blame the server, the Internet connection, the computer, etc. when it is the awful design of Mail at fault.

Apple Mail 4.4 Automatically Deleting from ALL Mailboxes! Help?

All of a sudden I noticed my Apple mail is deleting any messages older than roughly sixty days -- not just in my INBOX, SENT box either, this is in ALL my email boxes, including the folders I've made that live under the "On The Mac" section of my mail.
This is VERY strange. Anyone else having this trouble? I can't have this happening as I really need that history! Help! Thanks!!
Monica Ricci

Welcome to the discussions, Lesterj2.
A smart mailbox is like having a filter or a view of your messages - the messages remain with all the others (typically in your inbox) but the conditions on your smart box restict you to seeing the subset of messages that match the condition. There is never actually anything in the smart box - delete something that you see there and you are deleting the original.
Where is you inbox? If you are downloading messages to an inbox on your Mac then they should remain there until you remove them. If your inbox is on AOL, I don't know, not being an AOL user.

Apple Mail quits daily, runs slow on my new Intel iMac

I have used Apple Mail for years and love it. Since I switched to Intel 24" iMac it has been a different story. Mail quits unexpectedly 2 to 3 times per day. Plus it runs real slow, had to scrap all my smart folders to try to speed up. Any ideas anyone?

Hi a brody,
I did not use Migration asst., simply copied folders across.
Junk mail filter is barely used, don't think thats problem.
I have an ADSL connection, with DSL modem.
The problem only started with the new Intel mac. I am getting used to the idea that I did wrong copying stuff across. I am gonna follow a recommendation read in a similar discussion - to set up mail from scratch and import the mailboxes, after moving the entire mail folders to my desktop.
I'll let you know how it goes.

Help? Apple Mail no matter what I do, marks my SENT emails as JUNK?

I've tried yours (and others suggestions) and no matter what I do Apple Mail always marks my SENT messages only as JUNK and my incoming MESSAGE I send to myself as junk. Filtering works great for everything else. My exact name and email address ARE in my address book and previous recipients list. I have my junk email filter set to all of these two criteria are not satisfied it marks it as junk and moves the message to a folder I have labeled as JUNK. I tried each of these suggestions:
1. Unchecking the box that says "Disable Junk Mail Filtering"; then quitting mail, then restarting mail, then configuring my Junk Mail to customized actions and leaving my junk mail to a folder I have as JUNK mail. No Luck.
2. I have tried the same as above, but then I hit the RESET button. No luck.
3. I went to the Apple store and configured the email filters to the way I have it and it does the same thing. It marks all outgoing mail (Sent Mail) as junk and any messages you send to yourself as junk.
I think this is just a glitch in Apple Mail as I have not seen or heard about another solution. Can't believe 10.4.8 and Apple Mail is not working perfectly. Seems like a simple glitch.
Anyone???

There is probably some corruption in one or more of the files used by the junk filter. The following procedure thoroughly gets rid of all those files, so that Mail creates them anew:
1. Quit Mail.
2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/.
3. Locate LSMMap2 and move it to the Trash. This file stores information about what does and doesn’t constitute junk, and is what allows the junk filter to learn. Clicking the Reset button in Preferences > Junk Mail also deletes LSMMap2. The file was called just LSMMap in early versions of Mail, delete that as well if you see it.
4. Locate DefaultCounts and move it to the Trash. This file keeps statistics about the number of messages that have been marked as junk, either automatically by the junk filter or manually by the user.
5. Locate MessageRules.plist and/or MessageSorting.plist and move it to the Desktop. This is where Mail stores all the rules, including those used by the junk filter. The former is used by Mail 2.x, the latter by Mail 1.x. There is probably also a MessageRules.plist.backup and/or MessageSorting.plist.backup file there; move it to the Desktop too.
6. Look for the account folders. The name of each account folder starts with the account type (POP, IMAP, Mac), followed by the account username and the incoming mail server. Open each of the account folders, locate the Junk.mbox or Junk.imapmbox folder within it, and move it to the Trash if present.
7. Go to ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/. Locate any Junk.mbox mailboxes there (their name may include the account name in parenthesis), and move them to the Trash.
Note: Messages in Junk mailboxes with an .mbox suffix are stored locally and will be lost forever as a result of doing steps 6 and 7. If there is a chance that you have legit messages there that you want to preserve, either move the messages to another mailbox in Mail first, or move Junk.mbox to the Desktop (to be imported back later) instead of to the Trash. Junk mailboxes with an .imapmbox suffix aren’t a concern because they are stored on the server and Mail will rebuild them automatically.
8. Open Mail. As a result of removing the rules file, the junk filter will be disabled now. You may want to either tell Mail to go offline immediately after opening it, or shut down the Internet connection before opening Mail, to prevent it from downloading anything until the junk mail filter has been enabled again.
9. Go to Mail > Preferences > Junk Mail, enable junk filtering, and configure it however you wish.
10. Go online again if you went offline in step 8.
If the above solves the problem and you don’t have any rules you’d like to preserve or recreating them is not a daunting task, just trash the rules files that were moved to the Desktop and be done with it.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the folder path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the folder path there.

Apple Mail won't update and keeps recovering the same message.

My Apple Mail hasn't been working since 31st January. Every time I open it the same email just continues duplicating itself in the "Recovered messages" folder so I end up with hundreds of them. This email was the last email that was successfully sent and I was overseas at the time. When I returned home, my email would not update and it has not worked since.
I have tried rebuilding and taking mailboxes offline and online. Should I delete the 'mail' folder from my library? Any suggestions would be appreciated! I have not been using a Mac for too long, so I tend not to know what to do when something goes wrong.

Hello,
You'd only want to delete boxes/accounts if you could afford to loose all those emauls.
Is this a POP account or IMAP?
Who is the Mail provider, the part after the @ sign?

Apple Mail is cc'ing me on all new sent messages
