Exchange Account "Sent" messages missing

Hi All,
On Lion Mail (5.2) I have an Exchange (2010) account and everything is working well other than my "Sent" messages folder. There are many messages in my "Sent Items" folder in webmail (as well as when connected with other mail clients, Outlook, Evolution etc.) that do not show up in my "Sent" folder in Mail.app. Interestingly, when I send a message with Mail.app, it drops it in the "Sent" folder, and these show up just fine in webmail, so the "Sent" --> "Sent Items" mapping appears to be correct. Is there any way that I can get all of my sent messages to show up correctly? Thank you!

It doesn't mean the mapping is correct. If it's sent through the server and you have it set to store sent messages on the server, then the server is coping it to the folder. If it isn't showing in Mail, then it's probably not mapped correctly.
Check the exchange folder in the sidebar. If it isn't expanded, put the cursor over it until show appears. Then click show to expand the folder. If the Sent Items is listed under it, highlight it and choose Use This Mailbox For: Sent under Mailboxes in the menu.

  • Snow Leopard 10.6.1 IMAP Sent Messages Missing! Where are they?

    I upgraded to 10.6 from 10.5 and everything was fine apart from push to the iPhone! In an effort to get it all working I decided to do a clean install, so backed up my mail accounts (which should now be in one place in 10.6) and everything else + made disc image etc. However, after doing the clean install, and reconnecting the backed up email accounts, I can only see the mails in the inbox. There are no emails in the sent messages! I have looked in the mail account folders and can’t see anywhere that sent messages are stored. I have also since the clean install created new users and sent emails to see if anything arrives in that users mail store, and nothing comes in that I can see, but they can see the newly sent message in their sent folder! Only sent messages prior to the re-install are missing. I have the old install of the server backed up, so I can access them if I knew where to get them from.
    Where are sent messages stored? It looks like they are going to some other location on the server rather than the specified location in mail prefs.
    Has anyone else experienced this, or have any advice.
    Cheers

    Hi, I used ditto (as root) to back up all the folders from /var/spool/imap/dovecot/mail/ and then to restore them – however, they are now in a new location on a separate drive which the mail prefs are pointing too. I have checked to see if anything is going into /var/spool/imap/dovecot/mail/ and nothing is there – which is correct.
    I have also checked permissions and they are fine.
    If this was a brand new install it would all be working as normal – I can see new sent messages, just not the old ones or old folders that users might have made.
    However there is no folder in the UID’s called Sent Messages – even with new accounts! The only folders are "cur" (received mails), "new" and "tmp". I have no idea where the sent messages are being saved too (old or new)! I was expecting a folder within the UID’s with the sent messages inside.

  • Sent messages missing 'Message Status' link

    I have a problem and am curious if other Apple Mail users are seeing this issue.
    I have just migrated from Entourage about a week ago and am confused by how message linking works. While I miss the 'Message History' available in Entourage, I assumed that the links that only appear in the 'Message Status' column in list view of a mailbox would achieve a similar effect in allowing me to connect incoming and outgoing replies in a conversation, no matter what folder they are contained in (Inbox, Sent, or a local folder for sorting).
    I see links in messages in my Inbox as well as local folders I have sorted messages into, but for some reason there are no links in my Sent Mail folder. That column is blank, making a chain of conversation break as I try to traverse an email conversation.
    Is this normal, or is my database somehow corrupted? If there is corruption can it be repaired?
    Thanks.

  • My exchange account sent email does not show in mail

    I am running a 2007 MS Exchange account and I want to use Mail as my mail software, all the incoming mail appears but my sent messages do not - does anybody have any ideas for a fix for this problem?

    Had this problem too. Went in to my Exchange account settings in mail and switched theoutgoing mail server to use my company's SMTP server instead of Exchange. BOOM! All my sent messages showed up. Hope that helps!

  • GoDaddy exchange account sent emails not appearing in sent folder in Mac Mail

    The problem: I set up my business email address (GoDaddy exchange account) as a new email account in Mac Mail. A few days later I noticed that sent emails were no longer appearing in my sent folder for this account.
    The solution: there was a conflict with the Gmail account that I also set up in Mac Mail a few days after I set up my business email. I have deleted my gmail account from Mac Mail and so far so good - sent emails are appearing again in the Sent folder in Mac Mail.
    Note:
    - Emails sent from webmail (Office 365 Outlook) did appear in the Sent folder.
    - GoDaddy thought there was a conflict in the name of the Sent folders (called Sent Items in webmail interface), but said it was a problem Apple should solve.

    Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

  • Lion IMAP account - Sent messages are not sync

    Hi all,
    this question is not strictly related to Lion, as this "problem" sussist even in the old Leopard, however I was believing it woul have been fixed with the new version.
    I've my Mac Book Pro with all my email configured as IMAP.
    This is great, I see my Inbox with the same exact copy of the message available online. When I send a message, this is stored in the sent mailbox, and this is great too.
    But why all the old messages are not seen in the sent mailbox as well?
    It doesn't make sense to me, and there is any option that make a difference. I was initially believing the "keep a local copy of the message" was affecting this.
    But the most frustrating thing is that at the very bottom of the left aside there is a second entry, one for each account, which essentially show me a sort of "raw" account with all the folders and labelled messages as the online structure. Is it possible to get rid of that too?
    Many thanks
    Andrea

    I've had the same problem for a while, even before Leopard. It definitely occurs more often when sending bigger messages (i.e. with attachments), and on slower connections (cell card, or even shaky wifi). Always unsettling when I notice it, and seriously frustrating when a Send fails and I've forgotten to Save as Draft.

  • User's sent messages missing

    a user complained to me that his sent mail before a certain date had gone missing.
    this happens to coincide with the date i ran an imsbackup - which backs up to an nfs mount (that has been acting weird lately -not sure if this is relevant)
    anyway - what should i do - mboxutil, recontruct? should i look on the filesystem for the files. can i run these commands only his mailbox only?
    thanks for any detailed info.

    Thank you both for all the info.
    Good to know I didn't hurt anything with the

    I was able to copy the backup off this old Snap

    easier to copy the file using windows to the new
    server, and then set up the new mount.
    so far, it's only been this one user, and it did

  • IOS 8.12 Apple Mail for Exchange Account Deletes Message from Server

    Both my computers are set to leave Exchange emails on the server, but I can't find how to set this on my iPhone. So, if I happen to first open a message on my phone, it's no longer available when I open Apple Mail on either of my computers. I need the messages on my iMac and MacBook Pro--not just on my iPhone. How can I change the settings on my iPhone so that Exchange doesn’t delete messages once they're downloaded to the phone? Thanks in advance for any guidance you can offer. --Bill

    Thanks, Glenn. I get as far as the Advanced Settings screen, and there are 3 items for choices:
    • Use SLL - on
    • Move Discarded Messages into:
      Deleted Mailbox - check
      Archive Mailbox - not checked
    • S/MIME
      S/MIME - off
    I don't see how I can choose to NOT delete messages. (I'm assuming that the Move Discarded Messages into: Deleted Mailbox is a setting to tell iOS 8 what to do with a message that I choose to delete from my iPhone.)
    Any further guidance?
    thanks,
    Bill

  • Missing Sent Messages in Mail 2.1.3

    In Mail 2.1.3 on OS 10.4.11 the sent messages just disappeared on my POP accounts. The emlx files are not in the Library/Mail/account/Sent Messages mbox. Is there a way to find them or are they gone premanently? I have tried rebuilding the mailboxes, restarting, searching the hard drive for them. All mailboxes are set to never automatically delete. The messages are just gone. Any help?

    Yes, you can quit Mail then move those back.
    It does sound like they're really gone then.

  • Sent Messages can not be read in MAIL, why?

    Up to an hour ago, I could view all my SENT messages in MAIL, suddenly I am getting a message saying "The message from [account] has not been downloaded from the server. You need to take this account online in order to download it."
    But I AM online!
    eMac   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    This indicates an "overstuffed" mailbox issue which means the mailbox has some corruption and/or is over the recommended size limit.
    The recommended mailbox size limit for Jagaur or Panther Mail is 1GB and for Tiger Mail, 2GB.
    If your OS detail provided is accurate (10.3.9), do the following:
    Quit Mail first and using the Finder, go to Home > Library > Mail > this POP account named folder (named by the user name and incoming mail server for the account) > Sent Messages.mbox.
    Move the Sent Messages.mbox to the Desktop.
    When re-launching Mail, a new Sent Messages.mbox will be created automatically by Mail within the account named folder when sending the next message with this account. This will allow the Mail.app to function properly again while working on the old Sent Messages.mbox moved to the Desktop to recover the existing messages and not risk losing any new messages sent with the account.
    Control-click on the old Sent Messages.mbox moved to the Desktop and at the menu window that appears, select Show Package Contents.

  • Can't see sent messages

    When I try to read sent messages, I'm getting this message:
    The message from [name] concerning [subject] has not been downloaded from the server. You need to take this account online in order to download it.
    I've tried quitting Mail, restarting, and it still is a problem.
    How do I fix this?

    This error message indicates an "overstuffed" mailbox issue which means the mailbox has reached or exceeded the recommended size limit or the mailbox has some corruption.
    The recommended mailbox size limit for Jaguar or Panther Mail is 1GB and for Tiger Mail, 2GB.
    An "overstuffed" mailbox issue can occur at any mailbox size but is more likely to occur depending on the number and size of message attachments contained in the mailbox and especially as a Jaguar or Panther mailbox approaches or exceeds 1GB in size. This has been significantly reduced with Tiger Mail.
    Quit the Mail.app first and using the Finder, go to Home > Library > Mail > this POP account named folder (named by the user name and incoming mail server for the account) > Sent Messages.mbox.
    Move the Sent Messages.mbox to the Desktop.
    Launch Mail and a new Sent Messages.mbox will be created automatically by Mail within the account named folder when sending the next message with this account.

  • Strange issue with imap and a blank empty sent messages folder

    So here is a weird one. I got a new computer last week, Mac mini core duo. Set everything up, synced my .Mac and it set up mail. I have been using mail, i try to view Sent Messages for one of my IMAP accounts which should have 10,200 messsages in it. I see nothing. On rebuild mailbox it goes blank. Some messages I send are stored until i rebuild mailbox and it again is empty. On my other Macs (powerbook 12" and dual G4) I am still able to view and manipulate this same accounts Sent Messages. One webmail everything still works as well. While trying to copy old messages down to the Powerbook to archive them I noticed that it was very slow, and messages which were not cached already caused the Copy to fail. I am using Courier IMAP with Maildirs and Postfix on FreeBSD as a server.

  • HT3748 Messages sent through my Exchange Account with large attachments (10mb) get stuck in my Outbox.

    I use Mail and icloud except at work. The wi-fi network at work won't allow icloud through so I use my work email setup on Mail as an Exhange account. When I have a large message (10mb) to send through this account it gets stuck in my Outbox and won't 'send'. It actually appears in the 'On my Mac' Outbox and not in the Exchange Outbox - even though i sent it using the Exchange account. IT at work are puzzled. This problem is only when at work - I can send through my Exchange account when I'm at home. Please help...

    Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folders. In OS X 10.9 there are two sandboxes, while in 10.8 there is only one. If you're running a version older than 10.8, this comment isn't applicable.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder—not just its contents—to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
    Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window.
    This action will delete any custom Mail stationery that you have created. If you want to preserve it, ask for instructions.
    If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.MailServiceAgent
    Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
