Can you organise sent items in mail

Can you automatically organise sent emails from the sent folder to folders on your mac? For example by using rules? I cannot seem to get them to work. I need to keep all my sent emails as a record and it would be handy if I could group them in seperate folders. Cheers

No.  Smart mailboxes are simply a filtered view; they don't themselves alter the file structure or move any messages.
For that you have one of two options:
If you simply want all your mail available so that you can work off line, you can set that in the advanced preferences of the acount profile (Mail > Preferences... and then choose the account).
If you actually want the mail moved out of the Sent folder to some specific folder(s) and/or other actions taken on the messages themselves, then I'm not sure...I don't know if rules can be applied to the Sent folder.
There are some third-party paid add-ons that seem to do what you want, eg. MailActOn, but I've never used any of them.

    I have two iPads.. an iPad and an ipad 2.  I registared my new ipad 2 and now my old ipad is will not let me log on and is telling me that my e-mail address is already in use.  how can you use the same e-mail address for multiple ipads?

    And by using the same Apple ID you can also share purchases.  If you have a different Apple ID for each iPhone then you can't share purchases.

    How can you add an image in Mail without being an attachment?
    In otherwords I'd like to put my logo in the email not as an attachment but as an image.
    Is there a simpel solution to this problem?

    You don't.
    It's not possible. The e-mail protocol is designed for text; anything else has to go as an attachment.
    Different mail clients (such as Mail.app, the mail client bundled with Mac OS X) may have different ways of handling such attachments, but they are still attachments. Each mail client has its own rules and methods, so one may display a picture as if it were in the body of the message, but another client may do something completely different.
    A way of faking it is to format your message in HTML (which is a kind of text). The image is hosted on a remote server, not added to the message; instead, you include a link to it in the body of the message, as you would when building a web page. (This is also what the two tips helpfully provided by X423424X do, except that the link to the image is added in the signature, rather than the body of the message.) What exactly happens to it is, again, at the discretion of the mail client. In my case, for instance, displaying images in HTML messages is turned off, and will stay resolutely off.

  • Sent Items in Mail not Auto-Deleting

    I have sent items in mail to auto delete when quitting mail but this is not happening. Any ideas?

    If I quit Mail manually, items get deleted.

    How do you show calendar items in Mail?

    The only way possible to send a non-text file by e-mail is as an attachment. Different e-mail programs will handle JPEG attachments differently. Some will show the attachment within the message and some will not.

    There is no Apple representation on these forums. You need to directly contact Apple support, or visit an Apple store. Some troubleshootings tips can be found here: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3763

  • Can you get sent mail to be saved in the folder of original message?

    Anyone know if this is possible in mac mail? if not how do i request a new feature, can't seem to find that on the support site either.

    I am not sure why you would ever want to do this? Mail provides a Reply indicator from which to see any reply, and furthermore via either Rules or Smart Mailboxes can provide to either move or view messages in various On My Mac mailboxes and/or groupings.
    The short answer is no, if you mean in the original Inbox, since Mail in EACH account provides separate xxxx.mbox folders (mailboxes) for Inbox, Sent, Trash, Drafts, Junk, and communicates in particular with the Sent mailbox to store messages you have sent, but not until AFTER the SMTP has communicated the Message ID# that has been assigned the message you sent.
    You can certainly move both messages and received into other mailboxes that you create (with POP accounts, these will be On My Mac, with IMAP accounts can be folders on a server) to associate them. I do this routinely with a few subject/relationship areas.

  • Can't see sent items in iCloud mail

    I have a new ipad and I have set up to use icloud.I cannot see any mails boxes.  I have sent and received mail.

    If they are subfolders of the Inbox, then I think that is a bug in Mail, or som incompatibility with Exchange.
    There are several other posts on it, and posts on other sites.

  • Can I sync 'Sent Items' on my iPhone to Outlook?

    I use a POP email account (from my own domain) on my iPhone 4 and have the same email account in Outlook 2010 on my PC (running Win7 Ult). When on the road I will answer emails from my iPhone. Those are stored in my 'Sent' folder. How do I sync these Sent emails to my Outlook program so I can keep a record of them on my PC?

    Nope I don't think it is possible to sync the sent items folder with pop mail... But you can with imap mail so you could choose to switch your email to imap assuming your domain name provider supports imap. Most of them do. If you google imap v pop mail you will see the difference as to how the email works but in brief with pop your email is fetched from the server and with imap it remains on the server and you view the email through outlook and apples email app. You can choose which folders you want to see including your sent items folder.
    Hope that helps.

  • Sent items in mail box are sorted from sender name

    Hi friends, 
    I just purchased P780 two days back & trying to configure my corporate mails ( & also my Yahoo mails ) on it using Active Sync. Everything works fine apart from the fact that when I am going to the sent items, it is sorting all my mails by the sender name ( which is me ) & I am not able to find any configuration where I can change it to sort using receiver name.
    Please help me in sorting out this issue.
    Regards
    Rajesh

    I have the same problem on an A5500 8" tablet.
    Telling us it's a 'known issue' is not a useful response. Please provide a solution.

  • Already sent items keeps coming back as sent items in Mail

    already sent items keeps coming back as sent items in Mail

    These are probably not sent from your account. The spammer has just ''borrowed ''your email address and is using it as the return address of the junk they are sending. If they were coming from your account they would be in the Sent folder.
    They have your address. There is not much you can do about it now. They will get bored with you and move on soon.
    Google '''email backscatter''' to learn more about what is going on.
    FYI: People posting email addresses in an open forum like you did in your example is exactly how spammers get their victims. That is not a very good idea if you want to protect your personal info.
    I suggest that you edit your post and remove your example. It is of no help and does more harm than good.
