E-mail seeming to be sent but then vanishing

Today I sent several e-mails from my Gmail account on my iPhone. They seemed to get sent, but I just discovered that one of them wasn't in my sent mail file - so I checked on the only other one I remembered, and it wasn't there either. I looked in sent mail and also drafts from both my computer and from my iPhone, and I checked the outbox on the iPhone, and the e-mails have vanished completely.
Has anyone else had this experience? Do you have any idea what would have caused it or how I could prevent it? I have no idea how many e-mails were lost or to whom, so I can't even recreate them or figure out who doesn't have information I thought they had (especially if I replied to a message and then archived it)
Thanks

To diagnose problems with Thunderbird, try the following:
*Restart Thunderbird with add-ons disabled (Thunderbird Safe Mode). On the Help menu, click on "Restart with Add-ons Disabled". If Thunderbird works like normal, there is an Add-on or Theme interfering with normal operations. You will need to re-enable add-ons one at a time until you locate the offender.
*Restart the operating system in '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safe_mode safe mode with Networking]'''. This loads only the very basics needed to start your computer while enabling an Internet connection. Click on your operating system for instructions on how to start in safe mode: [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/windows-startup-settings-including-safe-mode Windows 8], [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-7 Windows 7], [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-vista Windows Vista], [http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/boot_failsafe.mspx?mfr=true" Windows XP], [http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1564 OSX]
; If safe mode for the operating system fixes the issue, there's other software in your computer that's causing problems. Possibilities include but not limited to: AV scanning, virus/malware, background downloads such as program updates.

Email seems to be sent, but it doesn't arrive. No 'unable to send' message, sent items and draft folders are empty. The mail disappears.

Email seems to be sent, but it doesn't arrive. No 'unable to send' message, sent items and draft folders are empty. The mail disappears. I tried to fully turn off the iPad and have it restart. But it doesn't go off. I keep seeing the small white 'turning wheel' untill the battery is gone. After that, it works again (and so does the e-mail). This happens about every week. What can I do?

*there's no reason to be paranoid*
Says Mulder .
Anyway, as I mentioned, I don't use any sync-able email, just a very plain-jane POP email provider. iSync reports no devices and has nothing in its log, which matches my never having installed anything in need of syncing.
The thing is, if Mail says its sending something when nothing was ever sent, that's a largish bug whether it is actually sending something or isn't, and there isn't really enough info here to know which of those are the case. Maybe Mail just displays "Sending" because an attempt to do something reasonable is timing out, maybe it does an innocuous and normal POP thing using very confusing nomenclature, or maybe it's really trying to send something which has a wrong flag or something. There isn't really enough info to know what is going on, so I was hoping someone could identify the symptoms.

Why are most of the apps (anything that has to search) on my iphone4 and ipad (1) running very slow (or not at all) since iOS5 update...esp google. Search seems to go quickly, but then when I try to open a link..nothing. I have turned off icloud.

I am having the same problem. Did turning off iCloud work? Did you just turn everything off or did you actually delete the account off your iPod?

Mail says it's downloading, but then nothing appears

I'm having an issue after the latest ios 7 update. My mail accounts won't sync or download messages. It says it's downloading, but then nothing appears. I've tried manually fetching and automatic push. It was working for about an hour this afternoon, but that's been it.

My problem is that I can download new mail, but not old email, so I can not manually clear the 6500 emails I have in my inbox for 1 account. I tried every trick on the forums to no avail.

My computer keeps trying to load the latest ugrade/security fix for Firefox, seems to do so but then tries to do so again. I have version 3.6.11

I can't add too much to the above. I get the message that it is "Downloading the update", tells me to restart Firefox but when it opens it again tries to update but then doesn't get beyond "Connecting to the update server."

Mail shows up in sent but not in inbox

just setting up the mail function - I am a mac.com member and using 10.3.9 - trying to send messages to myself to test it out. They show up in my sent folder but not in my inbox. Also - where should my mailboxes be located - under on my mac - or the other icon which mine is labeled home.
As you can tell - I don't know what I am doing.

In your Mail Preferences you have the option to forward your self the message you sent.
By default it will only show up in the sent folder.
The options that you have available will allow you to change these settings.
Open your Mail and then click on the Mail Icon in the Menu Bar and then choose Preferences.

Mail showing emails as 'sent' but not arriving with the recipient

Hi, I have had this problem before and it seemed to clear itself up after a few weeks, but I wonder if there is some way I can clear it up now.
I send emails from Mail as normal, and they are shown as 'sent'. But only some get through, and the majority don't. Is there some setting I can change, or some way I can see if my mails have arrived?
Many thanks, Rose

Same happened to me twice. 1 Message showed up days later. also using iPhone

Have you tried deleting the photo cache from your computer and then re-trying the photo sync ? The location of the cache, and how to delete it, is on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314

Mail seems to go out, gets copied into Sent folder, but isn't really sent

Thunderbird would seem to send my mail, moving it into the Sent folder and showing no error message, but the mail didn't really get sent. I saw some advice that said to try deleting my password (even though the password was correct). I tried that and the mail worked a few days but then the problem re-appeared. Just now I received a software update (31.1.1) so I decided to try again. I deleted my password from the list under Tool>Options, I sent a test mail (providing my password manually), and it worked but the next mail I tried didn't work. Just disappeared again without arriving anywhere. (I wasn't asked for my password again-- I suppose because I hadn't logged out since providing it.) What's causing my problem?

regardless, I suggest you try [https://wiki.mozilla.org/MailNews:Logging logging ]the connection. But I think that Thunderbird is sending the mail to the server. If the server is blacklisted is another question entirely. And given that ISPs particularly '''DO NOT''' use the same SMTP server to send mail from their web mail platform as the assign for mail client use being able to send from the web mail is a non starter in diagnosing the problem.,
Perhaps the log will provide enough information to bulldoze through the poor level one support at your provider to level two where there might be someone that actually knows what an SMTP server is.

G560 PXE error; OneKey Recovery seems to work, but then I get BSOD upon boot

I've got a 3-year old G560 and a few days ago, I ran into a PXE error out of the blue. I didn't really change anything about the computer's setup, and it may have been caused by commuting the laptop.
I already went through the whole F2 setup regimen of disabling network boot, changing over to compatible mode, trying every combination of boot order, etc.
When I was in compatibility mode, I was able to get the OneKey Recovery to work. There's no DVD involved, seems like it's stuck in that partition. I never set a restore point, but I didn't mind a factory reset. So I did the OneKey factory reset and it took about 15 minutes and it seemed to be okay, but then when I try to start the laptop, it will show the Windows logo, freeze there for a few seconds and then it flashes the blue screen of death for a split second (impossible to capture the error codes).
If I try it in safe mode, it shows the files that are being loaded, and it BSODs right after classpnp.sys
Now, I guess my main question is if OneKey will appear to work and yet maybe the HDD (hard drive) does not work. Could it be a matter of just replacing the hard drive? I did pull out the hard drive and re-mount it. Also the motherboard and re-mounted it. Is the OneKey function separate from the hard drive?
The laptop is so old that I wouldn't want to invest much money in its repair (warranty is past expiration date), but it's also been my daily computer, so I wouldn't mind if it was just a case of replacing a hard drive. With these problems, would it just be possible to make Ubuntu into my primary operating system by using an install disc?

hi stophammertime,
Welcome to the Forums.
It looks like you have some bad sectors on the HDD that's why the OKR didn't work or for some reason, OKR worked but the bad sectors corrupted the OS installation files. To verify this, you will need to run diagnostics on the HDD (try ultimatebootcd as it has diagnostic tools for ever brand of HDD's)
Also, the OneKey Recovery runs on a hidden partition on the HDD (usually the last few sectors of the drive). It's possible to trigger the OneKey Recovery if the partition structure isn't damage but if the target drive has bad sectors (i.e. Drive C:\), it may fail to image the drive or corrupt the installation files.
If verified that you have bad sectors on the HDD, you will need to replace the HDD and from here, you can:
1. Use a recovery disc to restore the default OS (this is only psosible if you have created one using this method)
2. If you can still read the COA product key at the bottom, you can burn an ISO copy on this website and use it to clean install Windows into your PC (if you get issues activating Windows, try to activate by phone).
3. Scratch Windows and use Ubuntu as you're primary OS.
Hope thish elps

TS3899 How to cancel a sent file that seems too big to be sent - but keeps trying thus draining the battery?

How do I cancel a file that is trying to be sent but seems too big to be sent - it keeps trying to send andconstantly drains the battery.

Try force-closing Mail: double-tap the home button, locate Mail in the list at the bottom, tap and hold it until it wiggles, tap to close it, finish by tapping the home button. Then go the you email provider's webmail site (such as iCloud.com for @me.com mail), log into your account and delete any emails you find in your Drafts folder. Then open Mail again and see if it stopped trying to send.
