Gmail goes to Sent box and Trash box

Hi
Everytime I send a message it records in the sent box OK but also appears Trash in multiple numbers.
How can I recify this. Currently using Mavericks.
Any ideas

Sure you're looking in the right place, or just looking at your Inbox? When looking at your Inbox, tap "Maiboxes", what do you see?

  • 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.

  • Sent box problem

    I'm having a problem with my sent box on my desk top. The only emails that appear in the sent box are ones I sent from my desk top. It doesn't appear to be syncing with my iPhone or iPad. If I send emails from either of these devices they appear in the sent box on those devices but ONLY IN THE NEW SENT FOLDER ON MY DESK TOP.
    OK, you say, what's wrong with that?
    Emails in my sent box tell me who I've sent them to. emails in the sent FOLDER don't – they just say I've sent them from me. There isn't an option to see the recipient. This makes it almost impossible to search for an old sent email.
     This problem started on the 6th May. How can I get my devices to sync properly with my desktop?

    I'm not sure I quite understand what's happening but it sounds like you've
    got a mismatch on the folder names for IMAP.
    I use IMAP on a couple of mail addresses using Outlook 2003. Everything
    works fine but you must ensure thefolder names are correct.
    The names on the BT servers are Drafts, Inbox, Sent, Spam and Trash.
    I seem to remember a couple of years ago, I looked at using Live Mail
    on one of my laptops. By default, Live Mail was setting the IMAP folder
    name for sent mail to Sent Items and not Sent. This meant there was
    a mismatch nbetween what folder names were syncronising.
    You need to ensure that *ALL* devices using IMAP are using the same
    names as those on the server *AND* that the particular client places
    sent emails into the sent folder. Only by doing this can you be sure
    that all the headers will be picked up when synchronising the folder. 
    I realise you are using Apple applications but the basic requirements of
    synching folders over IMAP are the same.
    If I've misunderstood the problem, I apologise and please try and post
    back with a further explanation.

  • Sent boxes in Gmail and in Mail are not the same

    Hi, I am using Gmail and Mail in OS X lion.  When I send a message through Gmail (on Firefox), the message is not in the sent box in Mail. The sent box in Mail keeps messages sent through only Mail. Is there any way to "synchronize" sent boxes in Gmail and Mail? Thanks,

    If you have the Gmail account set up in Mail correctly, you will have the Gmail IMAP folder at the bottom of the Mail sidebar. The Inbox will automatically synced with the Inbox folder, so it won't show up in the IMAP mailboxes.
    Highlight the sent mailbox under the IMAP folder, go to the main menu in Mail, click on Mailbox, scroll down to the "Use This Mailbox For", and select Sent. Do the same for others you want to see such as Trash.
    Also, select to store messages on the server in Mail preferences under Mailbox behaviors and set you delete time to your preferences.

  • Deleted messages from in box and sent box do not appear in trash

    For years deleted messages from my in box and sent box appeared in the trash where I would hold them for a week or two just in case I had to retrieve a message I had deleted. About 6 months ago deleted messages stopped showing up in the trash. What do I do to get deleted messages to once again appear in the trash? I'm no computer geek... please be gentle with any suggestions. Thank You.
    Ron Mabey

    While trying to find a solution, I am discovering my mail problem is much deeper than just messages not appearing in the "Sent" mailbox.  I have found some of them appearing in the "Trash" mailbox and some appearing there mulitple times, often with my account name in the "TO" field.  I'm also finding some unread mail there that should be in the "Junk" mailbox.  So it would appear there are many problems with ISO 7 and mail.  I have tried deleting and restablishing the account and two complete iPhone restores.  Neither helped. What is the biggest puzzle is that on my second iPhone, the one that upgraded without an error, mail is working perfectly well.  Has anyone found a solution to any mail problems on ISO 7 devices?  If so, please reply.  

  • I'm losing my emails from my inbox and my trash. Also an email has gone from my inbox and appeared in my Sent box Can any one help please?

    My emails keep disappearing from my Inbox and also my Trash. They arrive, manually summoned ,not Push, and I read them and they can disappera in front of my eyes or if I close the Ipad and then reopen Mail Inbox they just go. One has reappeared in the Sent Box but most have just gone. My Sent box has only got 3 in it, the others had 3 1 hour ago, they have now gone. They will also go if I recheck for mail. Pleas has anyone any idea what has happenend and how I get this sorted?      

    I usualy have my PC on at the same time as the IPad but I am  not always checking for emails at the same time as I am checking on the iPad.
    Are you accessing the account with an email client on your computer such as with Outlook or Outlook Express/Windows Mail?
    If so, when the email client is launched and running, it is not set to automatically check the account for new messages?
    I have just changed Removal of Deleted mesages to Never in Advanced Settings but it's too early to see the effect.
    If you are accessing the account with an email client on your computer, what is the account setting with the email client on your computer for removing messages from the server after being downloaded by the email client? With a POP account that is accessed with another email client, this should be set to Never. If the messages are removed from the server after being downloaded with the email client on your computer, the messages will be removed from your iPhone as well.
    If you created the account on your iPhone using the Yahoo account preset, the account was created as an IMAP account on your iPhone. If you are accessing the account as a POP account with an email client on your computer, this can lead to problems - accessing the account as an IMAP account with one email client and as a POP account with another.
    Although it is possible to access a POP account with more than one email client, a POP account is designed to be accessed with a single email client only.

  • How do i save all my mail in my inbox and sent box?

    hello
    i am going to upgrade my OSX to Snow Leopard
    how do i save all my mail in my inbox and sent box then restore it when my new OSX is installed?
    thanks in advance
    tk

    It's always good to have a backup, but Snow Leopard should leave all your data intact, just install new OS components & updated Apple Apps.
    If you don't have room to back everything up...
    On Mail...
    First Quit Mail, then I'd backup these two Mail folders, by right clicking on them in the Finder, then choose Archive/Compress.
    Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail
    Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail Downloads
    (Could be a different folder here if you chose such in Mail Prefs)
    Right click on that Mail folder, choose archive, you'll get everything in the folder, and the folder itself in a file called Mail.zip, move it to a safe place, same for the Mail Downloads folder... only the plist is separate.
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
    For Address Book, quit AB...
    Files...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.abd.plist
    Folders...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/com.apple.AddressBook/

  • Emails sent from device not show in "Sent Box" and "BIS" issue

    Dear All and Rim: 
    New to BB world, needed following help...
    AOL mail box had connect with "Tour" successfully, service provided by Verizon.
    Mails sent from device are not show in AOL "Sent Box" nor Outlook Express's "IMAP" / "POP" server's Outgoing "SMTP" folder.
    Truly need copies to "Sent Box", Thanks for help!!
    Also try to set up "BIS" accout, error message said:
    "Your Account is not accessible via HTML Browser..
    Please use your device to access Black Berry Internet Service"
    I used this link:
    https://bis.na.blackberry.com/html?brand=vzw
    Thanks you,
    Jan
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    So for the mail issue seems sending myself a copy is the only way to go, right?
    That would be a solution.
    And about the BIS, my try was on a PC, it didnt work...  Anyway, i was going to log on to the BIS to work on my issue above, but seems it doesnt help now, so it doesnt matter if i can sign up or not.
    Well, that's entirely odd...I just used that link myself (from a PC) and get into my BIS account just fine. You can, however, use the device interface to BIS -- watch that demo I provided you above for instructions on that. BIS is merely a service, provided by your carrier. The PC/website method and the device interface -- those are simply two different interfaces into the same service, so using one or the other doesn't matter...they result in the same thing.
    Good luck!

  • Inbox and Sent-box don't list yesterdays emails

    Hi,
    At some point this morning I noticed that emails which I sent yesterday, and received yesterday and today, were no longer to be found in my inbox and sent-box. I can't think of anything I'd done to erase them myself (in which case they would have still been in the trash with other older stuff).
    So I did a search with Spotlight, for names connected to those emails yesterday/today, and Spotlight found the emails allowing me to open and read them. But Spotlight doesn't say where they are stored.
    The same mails do not get found anywhere when I use the search function in Mail.
    I have had no problem with Mail earlier, and this is worrysome. I then weeded away a few hundred old emails, thinking that maybe I'd exceeded some kind of memory limit, and looked through preferences without finding any unwanted option was selected.
    So two questions: Where are these unlisted emails now filed, and can anyone suggest why they fell off the listing in Mail?

    Spotlight found the emails allowing me to open and read them.
    And it was Mail that opened them for viewing?
    You can find where they really are by getting EasyFind...

  • Email set up - Sent box and smart mailboxes

    Hi. I am new to mac and mavericks. I have migrated my various email accounts successfully BUT have a problem in that each email account does not have its own inbox and sent mail. Yes, I know I can pick up the separate accounts under Inbox - although it is a very cumbersome way to do it.
    BUT all the sent mail is in one box. This is VERY frustrating as I have my personal emails and emails for two companies all in the same sent box.
    This is a logistical nightmare. Furthermore, sent replies do not figure in the conversation thread until the recipient replies ... this is a real problem if the recipient does not reply.
    I thought I might be able to circumnavigate this issue by setting up smart mailboxes but when I set up a new smart box I cannot then access the access the 'edit' or change criteria as they are greyed out.
    Can anyone help? Make suggestions? HELP!!!

    Hi Barney-15E
    Thanks for your response - i am about 12 hrs ahead of you hence delayed reply.
    1) I had the sent mailbox settings to date rather than mailboxes. Have changed that so at least the 'sents' are now in their correct mailboxes.- I hope.
    2) smart mailbox - i had set up one account, it had a gear next to it but remained greyed out when selected (in fact it keeps coming up in the rename mode), which of course is why the 'edit' did not function. i have deleted it. I do not know why it remained greyed out.
    Am I doing something crass?
    3) all my other mailboxes are gmail, and no sign of a 'sent' within them. I have them on my iPad as well and they function perfectly there. Sadly iPad is not functional for business purposes except in emergency when it is a real saver...just not suitable for other documents.
    In gmail (old style) I have a number of folders and moving emails into folders was no problem. It would be so good to be able to deal with just one mailbox at a time! I will eventually adapt to the mac system I guess. At the moment I seem to be spending more time frigging around than doing actual work!
    I really appreciate your assistance.

  • Can not read new emails and the composed emails will not go to the Sent box!

    After attaching an email three nights ago to an outgoing message, Thunderbird could not save the file to the "Sent" box. Since then I can not receive any new messages and when when attempting to send an outgoing message, I get an error message that says "There was an error saving the message to Sent. Retry?"

    Hi, see if you can log into your WebMail in a Browser & delete that too large of eMail.

  • Why does Googlemail not appear on the Start Page every time instead of going all through "more" and " even more etc, plus having to sign in even though I have ticked the Stay signed in box?

    There is no consistency when one gets the Mozilla Firefox Start page.There is a line as follows :
    Web Images Maps News Shopping Books more
    To get Gmail one has to click on "more" which gets one a dropdown menu which ends in "even more" Clicking on this takes one to a page headed "Even More Google Products", including (Hurrah!) M Gmail.
    Click on this and one gets the page where one signs in, even though I have ticked the box entitled " Stay signed in" and at last ones's e-mail page turns up. Very occasionally, instead of Books or Shopping on the Start Page "Gmail" is there which when clicked on takes one directly to one's e-mail.It seems a hell of a rigmarole just to get one's e-mail!

    You can set Firefox home page to one of your choosing, see [[how to set the home page]].
    If the keep me signed in option is not working, you may have a malformed cookie. Try deleting Google/Gmail cookies, for details on how to do that see [[deleting cookies]].

    I sent an email from my iPhone 3GS (via iCloud account) with around 16GB of attachment. It slowed down the phone for a few seconds, then appeared to be sent. However, the message is now not in the sent box, and I can't see an outbox at all. Any ideas?

    That changes things a little bit , login to icloud.com and see if you can find it in your sent folder.
    If it is there you did send, just need to wait until you phone syncs "sent folder" perhaps on wifi.
    If it is not, then I would say it is lost and you may have to send again. They have 20 megs limit, so make sure that message plus attachment is under that limit.
