Draft and Sent Folders

I just restored my software (to see if it would improve phone reception; it didn't), and my Drafts and Sent folders are now missing. When I go to Settings, Mail and Advanced, I find no capability to add these back.
Any hints, please?

They show up once you Send a mail item. And draft will show up once you save a draft (start a message, cancel it, tell it to save).
May not of noticed before, but that is how they showed up the first time.

  • Can't get Mail- Gmail- Drafts(And Sent Items) to mirror online or my iphone

    I have read the posts here and elsewhere on how to get this to work, but for some reason my 'Drafts'(and 'Sent' items) folder in Mail.app is still not the same as online or on my iphone. What exactly do i need to do to make Mail.app folders for Drafts/Sent items stay in synch with my iPhone and web based Gmail?
    Here are my settings in Mail.app
    -Gmail is Setup as IMAP
    -in Mail->Prefs->Accounts->Mailbox Behaviours All boxes are checked for Server except 'Junk'
    When looking at a normal 'Inbox' panel, if I mouse over the 'Gmail' account in 'Drafts' it says "Contents Stored on Server. Name on Server: Drafts"
    However when viewing Mail.app->Drafts->Gmail, no draft messages are shown. If I do the same on my iPhone or the web based gmail I do see the up-to-date drafts. Also if i select the 'Drafts->Gmail folder), I do not get any options in (Mail->Mailbox->Use This Mailbox for).
    That said, if I find the IMAP Structure in Mail(scrolling down accounts) I do see a folder structure called 'Gmail->[Google Mail]' that does contain the Drafts and Sent folders that are in synch.

  • How to get the draft and sent folder in java mail

    i found the File Not Found error while accessing the draft,sent folder to fecth from the mail sever using IMAP. i m using the code like tis
    draft=store.getFolder("draft");
    sent=store.getFolder("sent");
    And i want to know whether the draft,sent,trash folder is default like inbox or not

    There are probably no folders with those names on your IMAP server.
    Unlike INBOX, there are no standard names for "draft" or "sent" folders,
    so you need to know exactly what name is used by the other email
    clients you're using.

  • Messages from the Inbox and Sent folders are being transfered to the Outbox

    Why are the messages from my Inbox and Sent folders being transfered to my Outbox?

    There is probably something wrong with the Envelope Index file. In the few cases I've seen something similar, however, there was also something wrong with the structure of the Mail folder, and we must fix that before trying to re-create the index.
    In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/. With that folder open, do Edit > Select All (⌘A), then Edit > Copy (⌘C), and paste it in your reply to this post, to let me see the names of the files and folders present at the root level of the Mail folder.
    Before actually posting that information, you may edit it so that the file/folder names do not reveal any details you wish to keep private, e.g. you may replace any real username with "username" if you wish; similarly, you may disguise any domain names you don't want to be revealed. Try to be consistent in how you disguise those details, though, as we may need to refer to them in subsequent posts.
    Now, go to ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/. With that folder open, repeat the process to let me see the names of the files and folders it contains. Again, you may disguise any mailbox names you wish to keep private.
    Finally, locate the account folders within ~/Library/Mail/ -- their name begins with the account type (POP, IMAP, .Mac), followed by the account username and the incoming mail server. For each account folder, repeat the process to let me see the names of the files and folders it contains.
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user's ~ folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the file path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the file path there.

  • Bubbles to the Right of inbox, drafts and sent

    I am running 10.4.7 and have had problems ever since I installed the 10.4.7 update in June.
    Next to the inbox, drafts and sent workding are blue and white overlapping circles that should not appear there.
    I have verified and repaired the disk permissions, reinstalled the 10.4.7 update as suggested in earlier postings and this is not going away.
    Thoughts?

    Ray,
    Welcome to the Discussions.
    What type of account or accounts are you using -- POP, IMAP or .mac?
    While this symbol can indicate trouble completing the access to an IMAP kept on the server, it might also indicate some trouble with the conversion of mailboxes used in Mail 1.3 to the structure used in Mail 2.1. Please read my comments in the topic at the link below, and then post back here, with specifics on your observations of your Mail folder:

  • Odd graphic appearing in drafts and sent mail opposite sender/date info

    Hi, I was wondering if anyone might be able to offer some advice...
    I've noticed just this past day or so that some of my draft and sent mail messages have inexplicably got a small image of a basketball appearing on the far right of the messages directly opposite where an addressee's name and the date of the message would appear. A friend has confirmed that he actually received a message with this basketball logo on it...!
    The only other time I have seen this logo was last night when I had launched my iChat program for the first time using my aol IM account details, and I'd noticed the basketball graphic had been assigned next to my name when the program was open... But after deciding the iChat program wasn't offering anything I preferred particularly over my existing aol IM account I deleted my account details in iChat and quit the program... Could this be related?
    Would be most grateful for any assistance- obviously with many business/work emails to send a basketball logo in the far right header of outgoing mail is not something I am happy with...!
    Thanks.

    Hello CMK.
    Since you have the option to store sent messages on the server, this must be a .Mac or IMAP type account.
    If so, quit the Mail.app and using the Finder go to Home > Library > Mail > Mailboxes.
    Locate the Sent Messages.mbox for this account - it will be Sent Messages (the IMAP account's name).mbox.
    All locally stored mailboxes for a .Mac or IMAP type account are located in the Mailboxes folder.
    Move the account's Sent Messages.mbox to the Desktop.
    When re-launching Mail, a new Sent Messages.mbox will be created automatically by Mail for the account within the Mailboxes folder when sending the next message with the account.
    This will prevent losing any new sent messages with the account while working on the old Sent Messages.mbox to recover the existing messages.
    Control-click on the old Sent Messages.mbox moved to the Desktop and at the menu window that appears, select Show Package Contents.
    Post back here listing the package content file names and size of each. This information is required to determine the next step to take.

  • Read the Inbox,Drafts, And Sent Items SMS in J2ME

    Hello,
    i want to read the SMS from Inbox,Drafts, And Sent Items. Is their any way to read this.

    Yeah ... i'm trying to do the same thing .. well ... this is the only work around that i found ... The platform i'm working on is a nokia 6630 2nd Edition (series 60, midp 2.0) .. since the device has JSR75 ( connection to file and pim ) ... you can open the c:\system\mail\ directory (note, it maybe at another location) and phase the messages stored in there directly ..

  • I've deleted all of mail, including trash and sent folders, but my mail usage stays high at around 1.4 gb. What am I missing?

    It is possible it just hasn' updated yet.
    Try resetting:
    Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons and don’t let go until the screen goes dark and the Apple logo appears (no data will be lost)

  • I have upgraded to Mac OS X v10.7 Lion and when I log into mail I can't find my mailboxes other than inbox, draft and sent how do I get my other mailboxes back?

    I have upgraded to Mac OS X v10.7 Lion and when I log into mail I can't find my mailboxes other than inbox, draft and sent how do I get my other mailboxes back?

    Lion is a bit of a memory hog - kernel_task will use quite a bit and Safari is known to use more; you can't do anything about the system, but changing to Firefox may help a little. The best way to deal with it is to increase your RAM; the required minimum is just that: the minimum. My Macbook would keep crashing and beachballing until I upped the RAM to 4 GB. RAM is inexpensive right now - check out OWC (macsales.com) or Crucial.com; both reputable RAM vendors with lifetime warranties. You won't regret it.
    As for iDVD - I purchased the retail iLife 11 disk because of iDVD (because I use that a lot) - it's available at online resellers, the Apple Store, and ebay.

  • HT3376 I have a Yahoo plus account. When I set up the mail account the Bulk Mail (Trash), Deleted Messages,Draft,Drafts,Junk, and Sent Folders all appear on my iPhone. Is there a way to prevent this?

    I have a Yahoo Account. When I set up the mail account the  Bulk Mail, Deleted Messages, Draft, Drafts, Junk, Sent, and Sent Messages appear on all of my iPhones, my PC, my Macbook and any other wifi product that receives mail. Can anyone tell me how to get rid of these duplicate mailbox folders??
    Thanks

    I just called apple care to even know how to respond to this answer. I am very old and this was my first post ever. I appreciate you taking the time to give me an answer. I also ask them how to delete this account because every time I log in it wants me to change my password and I have run out of passwords. I don't even know what it means when it ask me the community I want to be in.
       The only thing I know about syncing is syncing my iPhone to my MacBook Pro. I apologize that I am so technically stupid. Does mail have syncing???
    Thank you even if I never figure out how to get back to this site again.

  • Set up my Outlook sync but need to turn off sync with Sent, Drafts and deleted folders

    When I go into settings it greys out these as they are already checked.  So I selected Sync all email folders assuming I could turn off the already selected folders but it only allows me to select additional folders vs uncheck existing folders.
    Help!
    Jason
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    To function properly and seamlessly, it needs to be syncing those folders all the time. As you are writing a message, it needs to be auto saving to the Drafts folder, and synchronizing to the server so as to protect from catastrophic device failure. Likewise, Sent Items need to be constantly placed onto your server as that is an equally necessary function. Likewise with deleted items (though there may be separate issues there).
    Suffice to say that, if the box is already checked AND it's grayed out, then you can't affect the setting.
    Good luck!

  • IMAP email and the sent, drafts and trash folders

    I am using Mail 2.1.3 and have set up my accounts to work through IMAP from the server into my account.
    I can send and receive email absolutely fine, however it is not saving any sent emails and it won't save any emails to the draft folder. I have tested from the webmail on the server, the sent email goes into the sent folder on the web, and then I also see it in Mac Mail.
    But if I send an email from Mail, it won't go into the sent folder.
    Any ideas what I need to do to get this working properly? I have been on to the provider and they say it is something to do with my email settings but won't give me any more than that.
    Please help.

    Thanks Fred,
    I had those checked already but it still wasn't working. In the end I found the below link to another post where I needed to put INBOX into the IMAP Path Prefix box in the Advanced section.
    Once this had been done and I sent another message, the sent box from the IMAP account appeared in the Mail sent box and it's all working now.
    You were right with the "Sent Messages" folder, this also appeared after I had done the above step.
    Thanks again.

  • Mail disappears and re-appears in inbox, drafts and sent not working

    I'm doing some troubleshooting for my Mum. She's running Mail under Tiger, and she's been reporting that some times she opens up Mail, and all her mail is missing, but if she tries again later, then it might re-appear. It happens to different mailboxes, but mostly the Inbox. It's an IMAP account, but the problem is definately not that (I've actually changed the mail account hosting, and it's made no difference).
    On what I assume is related, and mail she sends, does not appear in the Sent mailbox (it sends fine), and drafts don't save at all.
    The only issue I can think of is the way Mail was put on this iMac. Basically it was my sisters iMac, which she passed on to my Mum when she got a new MacBook. She passed it on, already running Tiger, but for some unknown reason, she had deleted Mail from the Mac. I put it back on, by using a the setup disc for my own iMac (both PowerPC) - and extracting Mail 2.0 using Pacifist, which I then just copied across to the the Applications folder. Could this be the origin of the flakey mailboxes? And if so, what should I do?
    Thanks in advance.

    she had deleted Mail from the Mac. I put it back on, by using a the setup
    disc for my own iMac (both PowerPC) - and extracting Mail 2.0 using Pacifist
    Yes, I’m pretty sure that’s the cause of the problem. Mail 2.0 is the version that came with Mac OS X 10.4.0. You haven’t said what’s the version of Mac OS X running on your Mum’s computer, but the version of Mail on a PowerPC-based Mac running Mac OS X 10.4.11, which is what your profile says you have, should be at least 2.1 (2.1.2 if you installed the latest Security Update)...
    You should be able to fix the problem by reinstalling the Combo Update for the type of computer and the version of Mac OS X she’s using, to bring Mail back in sync with the rest of the system:
    About the Mac OS X 10.4.11 Update
    Mac OS X 10.4.11 Combo Update (PowerPC)
    Mac OS X 10.4.11 Combo Update (Intel)
    After installing the Combo Update, the computer may restart twice and the first restart may take several minutes. This is normal.
    Additionally, if she had installed any Security Updates released afterwards that included updates for Mail, you’ll have to reinstall that as well:
    About Security Update 2007-009
    Security Update 2007-009 (10.4.11 PowerPC)
    Security Update 2007-009 (10.4.11 Universal)
    You may also want to read the following articles for guidelines on how to properly install system updates:
    Troubleshooting installation and software updates
    Installing software updates
    Basically, you should verify/repair the startup disk and back up before installing the update, no applications should be running while installing it, and you may experience unexpected results if you have third-party system software modifications (not normal applications) installed.

  • How can I select all subject related messages from Inbox and Sent folders

    L&G,
    is there any way to select messages containing the same subject from the Inbox and the Sent folder by means of an keyboard shortcut. I.e. I would like to select a message in the Inbox folder and request Mail to display all related mails.
    Thanks in advance for your support.

    not like this. you can do a subject search inside one mailbox or in all mailboxes at once. you can not restrict a search to two mailboxes. even when searching one mailbox you have to enter the search string in the search window. there is no shortcut that will do it for you.
