Can't read sent emails

Hi
Whenever I open a message in my "sent" box I get the following message:
"The message from XYZ <email address> concerning “subject” has not been downloaded from the server. You need to take this account online in order to download it."
My account is online and receiving and sending fine. I just can't read any emails I've sent.
Any clues?

Hello, and welcome to the Discussions.
If you are running 10.3.9, as your information shows, then you have an overstuffed mailbox. See:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=121837
If you are running Tiger (10.4.x) then it may be a different problem.
More info, please, perhaps before you attempt any fix.

    An email in Powerpoint sounds kind of odd, however, you can download neooffice or openoffice to read it. Microsoft hasn't provided a reader for mac in quite awhile.

  • E61 using Blackberry connect can't read PDF email ...

    Hi, I've a E61 that has Adobe 1.5 installed. I can easily read complex PDF files yet I can't read PDF email attachments that have been sent through Blackberry connect push email service. I need to get wireless faxes and have tried both efax and Myfax and can't read either. I get a blank page with ...page break... in the centre top. Strange thing is I can partially view the pdf document using the print preview and the zoom key. Any ideas?

    I have nothing to base the following on except experience...
    The application on the BlackBerry that handles attachments is the BlackBerry Attachment Service.  This service communicates through your email's data connection, and doesn't necessarily display the actual contents of the attachment.  In the case of a PDF file, the file is actually converted into a graphic and then sent to your device more like a JPEG rather than the actual document.  You can view it, but it's an interpruted view, not the actual document.
    You can save the actual PDF attachment in its original format, but then you need a third party PDF viewer to view it as there is no actual PDF viewer available on the device itself.
    You can, of course, still attach it to another email.

  • READING SENT EMAIL AND RETRIEVING DRAFTS

    Hello; another newby here........
    I live in the US, have done so for 3 years, and have never had a problem with BT Yahoo Email. Thats all I use BT for. Obviously my BB provider is NOT BT, it is a local company, but this is clearly not a BB issue. I pay BT a very small monthly subscription for email service.
    Using my laptop, I am receiving emails as normal. I can send emails as normal. And my corrrespondents are receiving them. But I cannot open any emails in my sent box. I also cannot retrieve half written draft emails. I can see my sent emails on my smart phone. So, something has gone wrong in my laptops settings. I have not consciously made any changes to my laptop. When I try to open emails from my sent box, a message appears on the right in a box under the heading ADBVERTISMENT and it reads exactly this:
    document write ("smart tag Error: malformed URL - st_rejected_query");
    Can anybody offer any advise as to what may have happened? Like so many on here, I am not PC savvy, so it may be glaringly obvious. Thanks in advance for your tips.
    Peter

    Its one of a number of Yahoo issues and there is very little BT Retail ISP can do about it.
    As your ISP is not BT, all you can do is complain to Yahoo directly.
    You may get some idea of the outstanding problems if you read some of the forum messages.
    There are some useful help pages here, for BT Broadband customers only, on my personal website.

  • Siri says she can't read my email from the iphone5s lock screen when I'm using the standard headphones, but I could do that on 4s. How can I get my 5s to do that?

    Hi Liz,
    Sorry to hear you are having a similar problem.  Last night I went to the tool bar at the top of iphoto, clicked on "File",  then clicked "Browse Backups" in the drop down menu.    I have an external hard drive that is set up to Time Machine.   The Browse Backups  opened the iphoto pages in the Time Machine.  I selected a date one day ahead of the day I performed the now infamous update, and it showed my iphoto library as it had existed that day.   I then clicked  "Restore Library" at the bottom right corner of the Time Machine screen.   Roughly 2 hours later my iphoto was back to normal.   When I opened iphoto there was a message saying I need to upgrade my program to be compatible with the new version of iphoto(version 9.2.1).  I clicked "Upgrade" and within seconds it had done whatever upgrading it needed to do. 
    The only glitch in the restoration was that it restored the library as it appeared last week, so I no longer had photos I had imported this past weekend.   I simply went back to the Browse Backups in the drop down menu,  when Time Machine opened I selected the page showing my pictures from this weekend and again said to Restore Library.   Roughly 45 minutes later the library was restored including the most recent photos.  
    I am now a happy camper. 
    I don't know if any of this will be of help to you because your email says you are having trouble with photos imported after the upgrade was performed.   Have you had any pop up notices when you first open iphoto,  that tell you you need an upgrade to be compatible with the new iphoto?     If so have you clicked "upgrade"? 
    Good luck Liz,  if you have Time Machine running as a back up to your library, maybe you wil be able to get help there, by following my instructions above.   Otherwise,   good luck with your investigations.   I'd be interested in hearing how you make out.

  • How can i read outlook emails (from my Dell) on my mac?

  • Can't see sent emails

    I have four email accounts (POP) in Apple Mail and cannot view any of the sent emails for of the addresses. It shows there is over a gig of emails in the folder, but will not load them. The other email addresses can show all sent messages individually, athough non load if trying to view all account at the same time.
    Is this due to the size or corruption?
    Would appreciate some clever answer I haven't though of. Please.
    Keith
    (PS - Yes, old Mail 1.2.5 and OS still be used)

    I'm not sure if this applies to the version of Mail you are using, but you should try to rebuild each tent Mailbox. If you go into the Sent mailbox for each individual account, and then choose to Rebuild from the Mailbox menu (it might be in a different place in your version of Mail, sorry). Do that for each sent mailbox for each account and that should solve the problem.

  • HT201269 How can i transfer sent email from my old iphone to the new one?

    Trying to figure out how to transfer sent email from my old iphone 4 to my new iphone 5s.  Anyone have any idea?

    If you have a POP account, this will not happen. If you have an IMAP or Exchange account signing in as the other poster stated will work. So, it depends on what type of account you have.

  • Can't see sent emails on my blackberry

    I can't see the sent emails on my blackberry when  I send them from Apple Mail. Its a corporate email account (uses exchange server.) It seems like a Mac related issue. 
    Kind Regards,
    a.t. 

    What is your service provider and do you have an unlimited data plan?
    Other than that, I'd check your browser settings. Make sure your Browser push is on and set to allow or auto (in advanced options from the options menu on your home screen), and check your browser options while in the browser (click the menu button, scroll down to options, select Browser Configuration, and make sure you have Support JavaScript checked and make sure you have Support Embedded Media checked.
    If that doesn't help, I'd wait for a reply from another user here or contact your service provider's BB support.
    Hope I helped. Good luck hun!

  • MFE on E71 can not sync sent emails from PC in to ...

    Please help!
    when I sync my email using mfe everything seems to be ok from the calendars to email, except that I can not see the emails that I have sent from my laptop on my phone.
    I can see emails that I have sent from my phone on my laptop after I have synced.
    Please can someone help me to be able to synced sent items from PC to phone.
    Thanks

    Hello and Welcome.
    The current version of MfE (2.9.xx) only support syncing the Inbox so you will not see the sent items.
    Version 3 of MfE is due - sometime - and this is rumoured to support multiple folders.

  • I can't read my email after upgrading to Tiger

    Hi,
    For some reason after I installed Tiger version 10.4.3 my email headers appear fine, but when I click on the header to read the email all I get is:
    "The message from _____ has not been downloaded from the server. You need to take this account online in order to download it."
    Well the account is online, so how do I download all of my messages?

    Ok... I just tried connecting my iPod directly to a USB port on the computer rather than via the USB hub I was using and everything is fine. Odd, but I'm happy now.
    Thanks,
    Evan

  • Can not read new emails and the composed emails will not go to the Sent box!

    After attaching an email three nights ago to an outgoing message, Thunderbird could not save the file to the "Sent" box. Since then I can not receive any new messages and when when attempting to send an outgoing message, I get an error message that says "There was an error saving the message to Sent. Retry?"

    Hi, see if you can log into your WebMail in a Browser & delete that too large of eMail.

  • When reading sent email, the attachments I included in the email to recipient  are not shown.  How can I retain the attachments?

    When send email with attachments and the open the sent mail to read what I sent, the attachemnts I sent are not shown on the mail in my sent folder.  How can I keep the attachments on my mail?

    It will not show anywhere; it is simply your account pic so you know you're using that particular account in Mail (if there is more than one).

  • I can't recover sent emails

    When I look for emails in the "Sent" mailbox, they are all marked with a message that indicates the mailbox is overstuffed. I have reviewed a number of previous emails to try and recover them. So far I have checked the contents of Sent Messages.mbox and confirmed that it is large (over 2GB). I have moved it to the Desktop, and deleted the documents other than sent messages in that folder, copied it and then placed it in the Mailbox folder under User/Library/Mail/Mailbox then restarted Mail app. No success. I tried again, this time renaming the file Archives. There is a folder named Archives now under Mailboxes, but nothing in it. What more can I do to try and recover its contents?

  • Can't see sent emails written on my iPhone on my laptop email account.

    Hello,
    I'm guessing I have a function turned off or something. Whenever I write an email on my ipnone 4, said sent message doesn't show up on my Mac Book Pro mail program. I can only see the message I sent on my iPhone. Both accounts are on my "Me" account. Any ideas what could be wrong?

    Are you using the default messaging application that came with the iPhone?
