'Drafts' mailbox does not appear automatically

I am a new user of the Mail app. I have asked a similar question in another category of these Discussions, but have not had a useful answer, so I am trying here.
If I start typing a new e-mail message and then 'Save' it, a 'Drafts' mailbox almost never appears until I go to the Mailbox tab and select 'Go to favorite mailbox > Drafts'. Just once or twice, but apparently at random, a Drafts mailbox has appeared spontabneously, but very rarely. Why is this? Shoul;d it not appear spontaneously?
This behaviour (or non-behaviour) seems to be independent of whether I choose 'Store messages on server' or not in Mail Prefetences.

Thanks for your quick reply, Matt Clinton. I have three mail accounts: Btinternet (IMAP), gmail (Google IMAP) and the mail account of the college where I teach (Exchange). It is the BT one that I almost always use.
Neither gmail nor my college account has a Drafts folder, Btiinternet, however, has many folders, one of which is called Draft (without the 's' at the end). I have tried ctrl-clicking it, but there is no 'Use Mailbox For' there.  All there is in that menu is New Mailbox, Rename Mailbox, Delete Mailbox, Export Mailbox, Erase deleted items, Synchronize  Btinternet, Take Btinternet offlinw, Edit "Btinternet" and Get Account Information.
What can I do now?

  • Exchange 2010 SP3 RU7 - additionals mailboxes does not refresh automatically

    Hello
    On Exchange 2010 SP3 RU7 , my additionals mailboxes does not refresh automatically (Outlook 2010 up-to-date).
    i need to perform "send/receive" and "update the folder" to get the mail.
    Primary mailbox is running correctly and new mails are displayed .
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Based on the description, you added additional mailboxes from Outlook, but messges sent to these additional mailboxes didn't show until you tried the option "update the folder".
    How many additional mailboxes did you add?
    Did this issue affect all users?
    If possible, please remove these additional mailboxes and then re-add them. I recommend you add one additional mailbox first to check if the issue occurs. Then you can add another additional mailbox to check result.
    Best regards,

  • When exporting and then importing Apple Mail from one mac to another I get "Some messages could not be imported. Partially imported mailbox will be labeled IMPORT" . That mailbox does not appear.

    When exporting and then importing Apple Mail from one mac to another I get "Some messages could not be imported. Partially imported mailbox will be labeled IMPORT" . That mailbox does not appear.
    Any help would be welcome

    This is a bug in Mail. The mailbox archiving function does not include attachments, which  gives the error with the import. To workaround this you can create a mailbox in Mail and copy to it all emails you want to export. Then go in Finder to [user]/Library/Mail/Mailboxes en select the created mailbox. Copy this to the public directory of your other mac. Then start Mail on that other mac and import the mailbox from the public directory. Should work now.

  • When I create a new mailbox in mail.app, the mailbox does not appear in the list of mailboxes

    I am trying to create a new mailbox in mail.app, but it never appears in the list of mailboxes. This USED TO WORK.

    Without seeing anything of what you did there is not much to go on except to say that when you create a classic tween you use a library-based object and it has to exist at both ends of the tween.  When motion guides come into play you usually have to fiddle around when making the link between the object and the motion guide to get the object to lock to it.

  • When i click mail icon,my mailbox does not appear.any way to fix?

    it was working fine then was asked if i wanted to sync my email adress to ical, icalender etc which i did. previosly i had an itunes software update and did a restart. now the computer is up and running i cant get my mailbox to open when i click on the mail icon like it usualluy does. the only way to get into my mailbox is to click on the mailbox header at the top and click on 'go to favourite mailbow'.

  • A new version does not appear automatically in a stack

    Adjusting a raw photo use to create a stack with the new version. Any other change to the existing version would create another version.
    This stopped working. I checked the two entries in the Preference and there are ok. I restarted my MBP, I removed the Adjustment reset Plist..etc.
    How can I solve this? 
    I wonder if it is related to my new Sony raw format.

    It looks like a bug in Aperture
    Just to be sure, there is a difference in what you see when you do this in a library logged in as yourself and when you do this in a library logged in as the Guest user?
    If so then this can only be something in your environment, not an Aperture issue.
    With the new OS getting rid of preferences can be a real problem. As a test now I just tried it and I had to reboot. Just logging off did not do it.
    If after you have removed the preference file (com.apple.Aperture.plist) and the Aperture folder in the Containers folder when you log into Aperture you do not get the Welcome To Aperture splash screen then the preferences for Aperture have not been reset.
    As I said to get this to happen for me I had to
    Quit Aperture
    delete the file and the folder
    Re-boot
    Then I got the Welcome to Aperture splash screen.
    So basically if the preferences have been remove when you start Aperture it should appear as if Aperture is running for the first time.
    Message was edited by: Frank Caggiano - Note this also means that if your library is named something other then the default name (Aperture Library.aplibrary) i the default location (Pictures) Aperture will not find your library and will create a default library. Don;t worry you can reconnect to your library by closing Aperture, finding your library in the Finder and double clicking it.

  • Error Message about drafts folder ("Mailbox does not exist")

    Hi, after adding a third account to my Thunderbird desktop, I keep receiving the following Error Message every 30 seconds or so:
    "the current operation on drafts did not succeed. the mail server for account [email protected] responded: Mailbox does not exist"
    Can anyone help fixing this? Sending and receiving mail seems to work just fine.
    Thanks so much,
    Eli

    Th'''anks for your answer!
    I tried what you suggested, however I don't appear to have a "Drafts" folder at all where you said, will it be enough to create one and then subscribe and configure it?
    EDIT: I now created a new folder named "Drafts" from the main interface, then did what Mr Rodríguez suggested, which appears to be working.
    Thanks so much for your help!!

  • Why is elements better at photomerge than CC- CC does not appear to automatically fill image based on content but elements does when merging a panorama. Also the stitching is visable in CC but almost perfect in elements- why?

    I took 6 panorama shots of a scene and used CC to Photomerge them as one. Couldn't see where to automatic blend the edges and there was 'stitch' lines when the images were merged. So i did the same in Elements 11 and it was perfect. Am i doing something wrong in CC or perhaps not doing something at all?
    Any help, please?
    Dave

    Hi - Thanks for taking the time to reply and i appreciate the remarks- if a little harsh- we all have to start somewhere and i am fully aware of the limitations of Elements which is why i decided to add CC to my software. I can only say that if an inferior quality software from Adobe does the job well then CC must also be suited to doing the same which is why i can only think, from your comments, that i have not done something simple- however- following tutorials to get to the end result should have sufficed- it didn't so perhaps i will consider posting the difference between the two applications- and, perhaps suffer a few more 'harsh' comments. The learning curve is quite steep and i am a visual learner, but i'm also not totally incompetent:)
    Kind Regards

    First a clarification: you are not addressing Adobe here in these user forums.  You are requesting help from volunteers users just like you who give their time free of charge. No one has any obligation to answer your questions.
    I'll give it my best shot anyway.
    Few folks in this forum are really familiar with Elements, for which there's a dedicated, totally separate forum.
    Different engineering teams, also.
    From this perspective, it will be difficult to give you a direct answer to your "why?" question.
    Personally, I blend very large panorama shots in Photoshop proper since I can't even remember when without any issues whatsoever, up to and including in Photoshop CS6 13.0.6.
    Without being at your computer and without looking at your images, I couldn't even begin to speculate what you are doing wrong in Photoshop, which I suspect you are.  The least you could show is post examples from your panoramas that have gone wrong.
    I can tell you that panorama stitching requires significant overlap between the individual shots, besides common-sdense techniques like a very solid tripod and precision heads.
    The only version of Elements I have ever used for any significant time was Elements 6 for Windows, which I bought in 2008 to use on a PC (I've been an avid Mac user for 30 years).  I found Elements so limited and so bad that I successfully demanded a refund from Adobe.  IU mention this only to emphasize that I can truly only address your question from a Photoshop (proper) and Mac user point of view.  I couldn't care less about Elements, but if you have comparison examples of panoramas processed in both applications, by all means post those two.
    Generally speaking Photoshop is a professional level application that makes no apologies for its very long and steep learning curve, while Photoshop has many hand-holding features for amateurs and beginners.
    Perhaps the bottom line is that you should stick with Elements if you personally manage to get better results there.

  • Sent mail does not appear in sent mailbox after sending

    Sent mail does not appear in sent mailbox after sending

    From reports on this site, Yahoo mail doesn't work reliably with Mail. The following steps may help.
    Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
    Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
    Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope Index
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    A Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have names that begin with "Envelope Index". Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
    Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is corrupt and that Mail has to quit. Click OK.
    Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the file you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

    When importing CDs into i-tunes should the artwork be there automatically.  If not how do I get artwork to show in i-tunes and on my ipod.  I had artwork with a PC but now I have a mac artwork does not appear.

    I don't use iTunes's "fetch artwork", so I'm not 100% sure, but unless you are signed in to your iTunes account, artwork is not automatic. Even then, iTunes doesn't always find it.
    You can copy-and-paste artwork from the inernet, either Amazon or Google. I use 300x300 pixel images.
    For the future, if you have iTunes questions, you might be better off posting them in the iTunes for Mac forum, this is iTunes for Windows. In this situation, it doesn't make any difference, but next time maybe it will.

  • Check number confirmation window does not appear and checks become confirmed automatically

    We have updated to SAP 9.10.105 PL 00,
    and we have two issues with check printing, first when we print check we do not receive a confirmation window and all of the checks show as being confirmed. as soon as be print checks in the payment wizard after the checks have printed we than get an error message.
    "no matching records found 'checks for payment' (OCHO) (ODBC 2028) [message 131-183]
    the second problem is if I set over flow to blank paper, it will only print one check at a time, and i still do not receive a confirmation window.
    I am not sure if the original patch for 8.8 was left out of the 9.1 release.

    Thanks for this, I found this after posting a message with SAP Support.  Just a heads up, they consider it as 'Consulting' function not an 'Application Error' so they will not be a fix.  We'll just need to know to make sure users know to un-check this Box. 
    SAP Note: 0001422688 - Print on Blank Paper checkbox on Checks for Payment
    Symptom
    Scenario 1:
    Check Number Confirmation window does not pop up after Checks have been printed.

    Scenario 2:
    User is not able to print batches of Checks either via Payment Wizard or via Document Printing and
    the Cheque Number Confirmation window does not pop up.
    Cause
    Consulting
    Solution
    The issue could be resolved by uncheck Print on Blank Paper on Banking -> Outgoing Payments ->
    Cheques for Payments
    'Print on Blank Paper' setting on Checks for Payment is saved per user
    SAP Note:  0001059752 - Printing Checks for Payment Skipping the Confirmation Screen
    Symptom
    Check Number Confirmation window does not appear and the check automatically get confirmed.
    Reproducing the issue
    Scenario:
    Print a Check for Payment Via Document Printing or Directly for the Check for Paymet screen (under
    Banking > Outgoing Payments)
    Expected Results:
    The Check Number Confirmation screen pops-up.
    Actual Results:
    Check Number Confirmation screen is skipped
    Cause
    Consulting
    Solution
    If the option 'Print on Blank Paper' is ticked, the Checks Number
    Confirmation window will not pop-up.
    Go through the following steps and check the settings:
    1. Go to Administration -> System Initialization -> Print Preferences -> Per Document tab,
    Document: Check for Payment. Check if the option 'Print on: Blank Paper' is ticked.
    2. In Check for Payment document check whether the tick box 'Print on Blank Paper' is ticked.

  • TS1398 My iphone 5 is does not appear to be remembering my home wifi network and fails to reconnect automatically to it.  My other iphone (4s) has no such problems.  Any suggestions?

    My iphone 5 does not appear to be remembering my home wifi network and connect to it automatically.  I have to reconnect manually each time.  My other iphone (4s w/iOS6) has no such problems.  Any suggestions? 

    It's not a bug in iOS 6, and it won't be fixed. It's usually caused by your phone having been paired to 2 different networks with the same SSID. So it needs to ask which one you meant. Occasionally be corrupt data in the network settings, which is why Allan suggested Forget This Network.
