Does "delete sent messages" in Mail refer to deleting on the server only?

I want to delete my sent messages from the server but not from the "sent" mailbox in Mail on my HD. I am afraid to check the "delete sent messages" box in the mailbox behavior preferences because it does not specify whether they would be deleted just on the server, just on my HD, or on both. Can somebody please clarify this for me?
Thank you.

i don't know why you would want to do that, but people have their reasons. I do not believe you can delete an Email on one device and not let it syncronize. You know there are ways to hide an Email on your device, or just mark it as read, but it's not like Emails take up your hard storage or anything.

"sent" messages in Mail

I use my iPad to read mail on three accounts: iCloud and two POP accounts hosted on GoDaddy.
Mail has kept every SENT eMail since I bought the iPad. When I try to EDIT them, I can only select a few at a time to move to the trash. Tapping EDIT brigs up a screen with MARK ALL on it, but the choices after tapping that are FLAG or MARK AS UNREAD. There is nothing coming up like a SELECT ALL. Back in the EDIT screen, there is a TRASH selection, but it is greyed out.
1) How can I limit the number of SENT messages to a month or so, like the TRASH messages are?
2) Is there any way to bulk delete the SENT messages?
Separately, when I'm in the MAILBOXES screeen, it shows 547 FLAGGED messages. But when I tap that bar, an empty folder comes up. How can I remove them or file them if I cannot see them?

What type of mail account is this (POP, IMAP, .Mac)? If IMAP or .Mac, what are your Preferences > Accounts > Mailbox Behaviors > Sent settings?
Please, report accurately what you found. Is the Sent Messages folder really named that way? Isn’t it Sent Messages (AccountName).mbox? If the .mbox suffix is missing, that could be the problem, and you can fix it by quitting Mail and adding the .mbox suffix to the name of the folder.

Why have my mac mail sent messages disappeared on one computer but not the other?

My mac mail account on my Air is not showing my sent messages other than the one I just sent. To find the variables, I checked my mac mail on my iMac and my sent messages are there.
Not sure what the problem is but I look forward to some help.
Thanks.

I note that I just found all previous sent messages in the separate sent messages folder on my sidebar (minus the message that appears in my regular Sent Mailbox). I just moved these to the Sent mailbox and will wait to see if they appear there (in the sent mailbox) once it has processed this action.

When I try to reply to an e-mail, Iget the message that the recipents e-mail address was rejected by the server because it does not allow relaying. How do I fix this?

Try this. Sometimes this is all that you need to do to fix that issue. Check the outgoing mail server setting. Make sure that your username and password are in there.
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional.

N9 IMAP4 messages are not deleted on the server

Emails deleted on N9 are not deleted (nor marked for deletion) in IMAP4 account on the server? I can see "unprocessed" emails in modest/evolution/thunderbird/webmail (after resync) which I have already deleted on the N9. I have deleted the account, set it up again on the N9, these deleted messages are there back (just like all other email clients and webmail show them). Need this feature working, otherwise email on N9 is useless. Paul

Hey Hey, I fixed my N9 IMAP mail!!!
First off, when I sent mail, I noticed it wasn't going to my primary Sent folder, but a legacy folder on my IMAP server called "Sent Messages".
Even after deleting this folder from the server, mail still was not captured to the correct "Sent" folder and I still got the connection error messages on every Sync.
So I cleaned house on my IMAP server and deleted all kinds of old folders like:
.INBOX/Sent
.INBOX/Trash
BadTrash
OldTrash
OldSent
Sent Messages
Then I removed and re-added the IMAP account on my N9, and BANG it works!
No more connection error messages, sent mail goes to the correct place, and deleted messages are deleted from the server.
Obviously, the problem as previously stated in this thread is when the N9 client initially connects to an IMAP account. It seems to latch onto the first Trash and Sent messages it finds, even if you don't use those folder.
In my case, it latched onto "Sent Message" for sent, and some invalid file for Trash (hence the connection error messages).
Much better now, but I can't help to wonder what kind of IMAP logic is lacking on the N9 that Modest had on the N900 to have these kinds of problems....

TS3899 How do I prevent mail from deleting on the server after deleting on the phone?

When I delete mail from my iphone when using apple mail, the e-mail deletes on my phone but remains on my computer. When my co-worker deletes mail from her iphone it is getting deleted from her work computer (and the server). I have compared settings on our phone and everything appears the same. How do we stop mail from deleting from the server when she deletes mail from her phone?
Thanks!

POP or IMAP?
With POP, this is the conventional way to use it. You download messages and doing so deletes them. Alternatively you can arrange to leave copies on the server for other email clients to be able to see them. The setting to do this can be found under '''Tools|Account Settings|{select account}|Server Settings'''.
With IMAP, you're supposed to store messages on the server. If you want to remove them from the server, move them to the Local Folders account in Thunderbird.

I am unable to see any POP3 or IMAP tab when I set up an account in my iphone 4S. Hence by default all my email accounts become IMAP and the messages are deleted from the server when I delete them from the iphone.

ok sorry everyone but i solved it myself but the solution is so nuts i've posted it here to help others who have the same problem.
to setup a comcast imap account on your iphone:
go to mail, contacts, etc in settings
under accts, select add account
select "other"
new screen, choose "add mail account"
now on the new acct screen you must enter your name, email address and password for your GMAIL acct ! (yes i said your gmail acct !, or some other acct with a NON comcast address).
hit next
then the acct verifies
when verified a screen will open with all the acct settings for this acct AND @ the top of the screen are the 2 buttons > imap or POP
select imap and THEN CHANGE ALL THE ACCOUNT information to the comcast account !
then hit next and the account will take a couple minutes to verify but it will verify and now you have a comcast imap acct set up on your iphone. The problem must be that when the iphone sends the initial verify acct info to comcast (if you enter that information first) the comcast server is simply not setup yet to signal the iphone that there is an imap option.

HT1430 I can receive e-mails, but every time I try to send one from my outbox I get a message telling me it was "rejected by the server" - any Ideas Ho I can get past this?

I can receive e-mails from several accounts on my iPhone, but everything I try to send comes back with a message telling me it was "rejected by the server" and just sits in my outbox.
Any suggestions?

Remove the Mail account. Go to Mail preferences>Accounts>and go the account and delete it. When it's done, go back and add it back.

When I try to send e-mail I get an error message stating that the e-mail address was rejected by the server. When I send to e-mail from another address, I get back an error saying the e-mail address is unknown. My e-mail has worked fine for years until yesterday. HELP!

The specific text of the error message is very important here — I'm not sure exactly you're encountering here.
If you're able to connect to your email server and are able send email to other email addresses and if the failures are specific to one email recipient address, then please contact the intended recipient of the failing email, and confirm their address is valid. (This is the way I'm reading your question.)
If you are unable to send any email to any other email addresses and this is specific to your email address, then try the web mail client interface (if one is available) to verify your login user and password, and check with your email ISP for assistance. If your email password works via web mail, follow this Apple troubleshooting guide, then — if everything else fails — I'd probably then entirely remove the email account from Mail.app and re-add it per your email ISP's particular setup requirements. (Some issue with the setup or maybe a corrupt setting in OS X or a problem at the mail ISP servers is a common problem, but this effects attempts to send to all email addresses via that account.)
An email account setup is specific to an email provider, unfortunately. If you're using one of the more common email ISPs, then there are usually setup guides and frequently-asked questions posted online.

In Lync, if a call is not answered, and does not go to voice mail, is anything recorded in the Lync database ?

We are using Lync 2010. This question relates to the LCSCDR database.
In Lync, if a call is not answered, and does not go to voice mail, is anything recorded in the Lync database ? Are there any options to make Lync store a record of unanswered calls ?
Is there a way to tell from the LYnc database if a call was answered by a person or went to voice mail ?
I cannot see anything in the sessiondetails table to indicate any of the above.
Any help much appreciated.

Do not delete the old account yet. sign up for an iCloud account if you haven't.
I understand .mac mail will still come through. Do not delete the old account yet.
You cannot use .mac or MobileMe as type of Account, you have to choose IMAP when setting up, otherwise Mail is hard coded to change imap.mail.me.com to mail.me.com & smtp.mail.me.com to smtp.me.com, no matter what you try to enter.
iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
On second step where it asks "Description", it has to be a unique name, but you can still use your email address.
IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
          •          Server name: imap.mail.me.com
          •          SSL Required: Yes
          •          Port: 993
          •          Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
          •          Password: Your iCloud password
SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
          •          Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
          •          SSL Required: Yes
          •          Port: 587
          •          SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
          •          Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
          •          Password: Your iCloud password
Also, you must upgrade your password to meet the new criteria: 8 characters, including upper and lower case and numbers. If you have an older password that does not meet these criteria, when you try to setup mail on your mac, using all of the IMAP criteria listed above, it will still give a server error message. Go to   http://appleid.apple.com         then follow directions to change your password, then go back to setting up your mail using the IMAP instructions above.

This message has not been fully downloaded from the server

When opening an email in Microsoft Outlook 2007, a co-worker’s laptop occasionally receives this message: “This message has not been fully downloaded from the server. Would you like to mark it for download?”. It’s an IMAP account that syncs with his new iPhone 4S. He never received this message when he had a BlackBerry.
From reading online posts, the problem could be how the iPhone downloads the emails. One suggested resolution was to change when the emails/incoming messages delete from the server; however, my co-worker likes the fact that once he deletes an email from Outlook, it’s deleted from his iPhone and vice versa.
Does anyone have a solution for this problem? Thanks, iPhone newbie

I get that message too. Its not a bug - its a "feature". I only get it if the e-mail contains a bunch of graphics etc which makes the e-mail much bigger than a "standard" text only one. I guess its there so you have the choice to download the rest of it or not. Saves you money if you are charged for data downloads.

Apple Mail has stopped talking to the server, or so it seem

My Apple Mail has stopped talking to the server (Mobile Me), or so it seems. I was sending a couple of attachments the other day and too late realised that they were huge. They were PDF's I'd done, and I hadn't checked the size, so I ended up with 32Mb of attachments on a single email.
This seemed to mess things up. I tried deleting the sending message from Mail as I couldn't seem to stop it sending, which I think I managed to do, but it kept reappearing in the drafts and deleted folders.
I can access mail fine from Mobile Me and have managed to send what I needed from there, but now Mail doesn't seem to connect to the server (I just get the wheel), and whilst its trying my other mail accounts, which are on another ISP, disconnect.
Mail is giving me an error message now when I try to quit: +"Some actions taken while the account "me.com" was offline could not be completed online"+. The additional info says that operation could not be completed: MFMessageErrorDomain error 1028
Can anyone point me in the right direction to resolve this?
Many thanks...

R,
Not looking the correct place. Home means to click on he Icon of House that represents your user account folder as found in the sidebar of every Finder window. Then in that User Library. You clicked on the hard drive icon, but then looked in the Library at its root level -- wrong Library.
Also can be written as ~/Library.
