Can't retrieve sent messages from my Desktop Mail application

Hi,
Whenever I use a computer away from home to send email, I always click the option to save the sent message in the sent folder. Then, when I get home, I used to retreive those messages from the iDisk icon on my Mail, and then move that message to my sent folder on my Mail, in my desktop at home.
But now, I don't know why, when I drag them to the sent folder in my desktop, these messages just disappear. There is NO way I can move them to my sent folder on my desktop. I tried several things, but I admit I am not good at all with computers, so here I am ... It's funny because I tried to drag those sent messages to my Inbox folder and it worked, but I want to move them to my sent folder, as I used to do.
Thanks for your help!

ok lets see if my solution fits my undertsanding of your problem.
A .Mac account is essentially an IMAP account. This means that Mailboxes and the Mail in them is replicated identically on the Server every time you synchronize (either manually or in Preferences). Mail is deleted when you do it manually, or automatically - again as part of Preferences. Mail you send through the browser should be replicated on your desktop Mail.app next time you synchronize.
If you create a Mailbox under your user account, this Mailbox is replicated on the server. If however you create an Mailbox that is "On my Mac", and move mail to it, you are effectively moving it off the server and onto your desktop, which may explain why it is disappearing.
Realistically with a .Mac account you should not have to drag Sent Items anywhere.
Because it is a .Mac account, check these things.
In Mail.app on your desktop:
1) Preferences/Accounts/.Mac Account/Mailbox Behaviors. Check "Store Sent Messages on the Server and then an option for deleting them. This will ensure Sent Messages remain on the server.
2) Preferences/Accounts/.Mac Account/Advanced. Check Automatically Synchronize Changed Mailboxes if you want the Server to be updated immediately. Leave it blank and mail will be updated when you log on and off and if you Synchronize manually.
Through .Mac
1) Log onto .Mac through the browser - to Mail. Go to Preferences/Composing and ensure that "Save sent messages to" - (Sent Messages) is checked. Save your settings.
Send one test mail using Mail.app and then one through the browser. Your sent mail should appear in the Sent Mail folders on both Mail.app and the server, and you should not have to drag sent mail from or to anywhere.

    I guess you could try but I don't believe Apple can help with activation lock issues.  They may, however, be able to determine if the Apple ID belongs to one of you and reset the password for you if you can prove your identity.
    You might want to try calling Apple by going to https://expresslane.apple.com; click 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID'.  In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password'.  Perhaps they can help determine if it's your ID and reset the password for you (and they probably have more expertise in doing this than the Apple store).

  • I have 2 email accounts set up. I can now get new messages from one but not the other one.

    I followed the steps outlined in a previous message. I have a Yahoo Small Business Account. I think all of the settings are correct. I can't see any new messages on one of the accounts. One message from 7-20-14 keeps coming up over and over.
    When I press Get mail, I see "downloading message 1 of 55 to [email protected], but then it changes to "nothing to download".
    Can you help me retrieve my messages from the last 3 days? Thank you.

    I think you will find an anti virus program is causing the issue here. They often go a bit nuts when Thunderbirds version number changes.
    Try changing the settings to disable email scanning in your anti virus.

    Hi,
    This is explained in the readme and function documentation:
    Currently, the only message file is in English although message files for
    other languages may be supplied in future releases. You should set the
    environment variable <tt>ORA_XML_MESG</tt> to point to the <b>absolute
    path</b> of the <tt>mesg/</tt> subdirectory. Alternately, if you have an
    <tt>$ORACLE_HOME</tt> installed, you may copy the contents of the
    <tt>mesg/</tt> subdirectory to the <tt>$ORACLE_HOME/oracore/mesg directory</tt>.
    The function documentation for xmlinit() explains the msghldr parameter that can
    be used to process error messages (or they are printed to stderr if msghdlr not
    supplied).
    Thanks,
    Oracle XML Team

    An alternative (for me) would be to *always and automatically* send a bcc to a specifc address of all my sent messages.
    I cannot locate this option in the documentation.
    Does it exist?.
    Yes, in your BIS account setup for that email address. Edit the setup and you will see at the bottom a checkbox to automatically BCC messages.
    Then, on your Outlook, set a filter for your incoming messages from yourself to be re-directed to your sent folder.

    If the phone isn't working, you can't.  If you have a backup on your computer, you may be able to extract them from the backup using 3rd party software such as iPhone Backup Extractor (see http://www.iphonebackupextractor.com).

    Hi,
    I believe the phone uses Android OS, v2.3.4 (Gingerbread) therefore you can use one of these applications:

  • How can I send a message from database to a J2EE application?

    How can I send a message from database to a J2EE application?
    If I have a codetable in database that has new or modified values I have to refresh the codetable in my J2EE application.
    Most effective way would be send a message to initiate a table reload from J2EE app, but I don't know how to do this.
    Now I have a background thread that regular reads the table and looks for changes.

    http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/integration/bam/10.1.3/TechNotes/TechNote_BAM_AQ_Configuration.pdf
    This document details how to create triggers on a table that send out JMS messages.
    In this example, the messages are going to Oracle BAM.. your message could go to your J2EE application listening to its own topic/queue.
    an alternative idea.
    you could also just cache your lookup table with something like Oracle Coherence and than try to ensure that all changes to the lookup go through Coherence, so that you won't need to do notification from the db up to the application. the application and the lookup data management tool would be using the data grid for management of the lookup table data, and the data grid (coherence) would persist the lookup data changes back to the db.
