Gmail, iPhone, Outlook..sent mail problem

Dear Friends,
I was writing to see if anyone might be able to help me diagnose a problem I am having with gmail on the iphone. I have the iphone setup to read my gmail account and use outlook on the pc as my desktop mail reader. My outlook is setup so my multiple accounts all end up in my inbox.
When I send from my gmail account on the iphone outlook does not see the mail in outlook. This is a major issue for me since I deal with clients and need to have this information on my desktop to keep track of things, etc.
The thing I find most confusing is if I use the gmail web interface I can see the mail that was sent in the sent mail folder. The iphone can also see this, it is just that outlook can't.

Barry Schwartz1,
Many, if not most, ISPs filter port 25 to prevent users from sending spam. Even though your Exchange's SMTP settings allow it to listen on port 25, you may not be able to send via port 25. Many server admins, configure their server to listen on another port, most often 587 or 465 in addition to requiring authentication as anti-spam measures.
I know that AT&T's EDGE network for example does filter Port 25. If you are using your iPhone on WiFi at home you may want to check with your home internet service provider (ISP) to see if they filter Port 25.
If the server admin is not willing to configure the server to listen on another port, they might be willing to allow you to use VPN so that when you send it will be via the VPN, and not using Port 25 through your ISP.
Hope this helps,
Nathan C.

  • Synched new iPhone but Sent Mail missing

    Hi everyone,
    I just synched a new iPhone to my PC and I am using Gmail. It sends and receives email fine, but the Sent messages do not appear in my iPhone sent mail folder. I've confirmed the correct settings for Incoming and Outgoing mail, but there is no "Sent Mailbox" option under Mailbox Behaviors.
    Any help would be much appreciated!
    Thanks!

    Ok, I just reset my password and it works now!

  • Mail downloaded from POP account in Gmail appears in Sent mail

    I have configured Gmail to download mail from two other POP accounts. I use Mail.app in OS X with IMAP to access my Gmail. I've noticed that when I receive a message from one of my POP accounts, it appears in my inbox but also as an unread message in my Sent mail folder. Why? Is there anything I can do to change this behavior?

    Sorry, I should have been more clear. The Gmail account is set-up as IMAP. But it does download POP email from other accounts. It's a nice feature and one of the main reasons I just use Gmail now for all email.
    I know I could just ignore the issue, but it bothers me to have unread messages in the Sent mailbox. Clutters up the interface.

  • Gmail label/os x mail problems

    In an effort to fix some strange gmail/imap/apple-mail/iphone behavior, i inadvertently broke it even more.
    my OS X Mail was not displaying the correct gmail inbox. it would only display older messages (from a few weeks ago). based on some advice i found online, on GMail.com, i labeled all my inbox messages "new-inbox", then selected those messages, and moved them to my inbox, then deleted the label, "new-inbox". in theory this was supposed to re-link all the emails to the proper place (my inbox).
    here's the problem, it seems to have labeled all my SENT messages with INBOX, because now in Mail, my inbox has both sent and received messages.
    is there any way to correct this? any threads i should read?
    thanks.

  • Outlook Sent Email Problem!

    I use Outlook 2010 and use two accounts one is btinternet and the other a gmail. Over the last few days when I send a gmail it posts a copy in the gmail "Sent Box" and also posts the same copy in the btinternet "Sent Box" - this does
    not happen if I reverse the process. I have trawled Microsoft and other help sites and have not come across any reference to this particular problem or solution only the problem of saving emails twice in one "Sent Box" can anyone help please?  
    Keith_53 at Home.
      

    Hi,
    Have you checked if you have set any Outlook rule to move a copy of sent items to the other account? To check this, please go to Home tab > Rules > Rules & Alerts.
    If you have any antivirus or third-party add-in installed, please temporarily turn off the antivirus and open Outlook in safe mode to test the issue again. To open Outlook in safe mode, press Windows key + R to open the Run command, type
    outlook.exe /safe and press Enter.
    If above doesn't make any difference, please try to create a new mail profile in Control Panel and reconfigure your email accounts to check the result.
    Thanks,

  • Outlook 2003 Mail problem

    I have a few questions/problems.
    1. Anytime my iphone is in the unlocked position and my outlook on my computer checks for new mail I receive an error message "Mailbox is locked...Another Mail Client is using this mailbox". Is there anyway to "allow access" or something so both can check for mail at the same time?
    2. I am receiving some emails just on in my outlook, some just on my iphone, and some on both? Once an email is sent, shouldn't it go to both the phone and the outlook if I havent opened it in either?

    Is this a POP account?
    1. Do you have email being checked on your computer at the same time as on your iPhone? Only one device can be accessing the POP account at one time, so if one is accessing, the other is essentially locked out.
    2. Do you have your account set to delete emails from the server once they are fetched? In that case, once one email client (ie your computer) pulls the mail off the server, it will no longer be available for the other client (ie your iPhone) to fetch.
    If you can set your account up as an IMAP account instead of POP, everything done on one device will be mirrored exactly on the other.
    I'm sure someone else will be able to add a more detailed technical explanation, but I think that's probably what's happening.

  • Sent mail problem

    I have constant problems of one sort or the other with the mail app. One thing I have noticed is that sent messages do not consistently appear in the "Sent" mailbox, even if actually sent. I can, however, sometimes find the message by doing a word, or person, search.
    Is there anything that will correct this?

    That's how Gmail works, unless you modify its behavior.
    Gmail isn't true IMAP, so it does some weird things with email, and Mail does some weird things to it trying to make it behave like an IMAP server.
    Gmail doesn't really have folders or mailboxes. It tags messages with Labels.
    A message can have multiple Labels assigned, so it can show up in many different folders in Mail.
    When a message comes in, it is tagged with both "Inbox" and "All Mail" labels. When you move it to the Trash in Mail, Mail removes the Inbox label but doesn't change the All Mail label (Google does the same on the Gmail web portal). So, Google stores all of the email you've ever sent or received in this All Mail location. How do you expect them to effectively harvest your personal information without keeping all of your email?
    In Mail, the All Mail label is mapped to the Archive mailbox.  And, as it is set up, moving a Gmail to the Trash really "archives" it instead of moving it to the Trash mailbox, as Google wants.
    This all worked the same in previous versions of Mail, but Mail did not show you the "All Mail" Label.

  • IPad / iPhone / Outlook 2003 email problems

    Hi,
    I have an issue with btinternet emails being available on all 3 devices.
    Having changed the iphone and ipademail accounts to yahoo accounts the "account in use on another device" issue has now been resolved.  However the issue i am now facing is that once outlook downloads all emails those emails then disappear from the iphone and ipad leaving the inboxes empty.
    I have read through a number of suggestions and it seems that Outlook 2003 needs to be set up as an Imap account for incoming mail to synchronize with btinternet and ensure the same emails remain on the iphone / ipad.
    Does anyone have any details or can the MODs help me with setting up my outlook 2003 account to imap in order to resolve this problem?
    regards,
    LP

    My android phone has an option to remove messages from the phone when they are deleted from the server. If the iphone has similar maybe you just need to uncheck it.

  • Multiple gmail accounts and apple mail problems

    I have upgraded to Lion, I have upgraded MobilMe to iCloud. I have multiple email accounts, including Google Apps and Gmail accounts. I now cannot get my regualr Gmail account to work in Apple Mail. I always get wrong username or password error. Anybody got any ideas?

    Yea, I am having email problems across the board. I have Yahoo +, Gmail, Apple mail, corp email, and I use a lot of apple products, iPhone, iPad, MacBook Air, Time Capsules, Airport Extremes, Apple TV's and all in multiple locations. PLUS I travel a ton. Not to meantion I have to use a Blackberry solely because of BBM. So, the last couple of weeks have been interesting. My Yahoo Mail + account deleted all my contacts a few months back and has never been the same. I didn't, Yahoo did and then had the nerve to say 'sorry, you should have backed up'. So much for trusting the cloud. Now, Google and Apple seem to be having issues now after updating my MobileMe account to iCloud and YES, I have multiple Apple ID's and so you know what a mess that is. I could not be the only one with such a broad array of products and now having such problems. What a mess? I went to the 'cloud' 8 years ago after traveling in China a lot and getting tired of giving all my 'info' to the Chinese. So, I wipe before I go and wipe when I get back. Clould email seemed like a good bet but now............. ****, almost makes me want to re-activate my Hotmail account and see if it works now!!!! Never. I live in Brasil now most of the time so maybe I should just relax and go to the beach.......but I have to go to NYC, then Europe, then back to the Mid-East next week......Starting to think about going back to good old snail mail.....;)

  • Sent mail problems.....PLEASE HELP

    Ok,
    I can receive my emails just fine, but all of my sent emails are not sending. I am NOT getting any error or warning about this either. The only thing that keyed me onto this is that my mom is having the same issues. My emails will appear in the sent folder, so I thought everything has been sending. I have no idea what to do...????
    Can anyone please help me out?????????
    BTW, I am referring to .mac. I have tried from the app and on line and nothing is working. Please help...

    This same thing has been happening to numerous .Mac customers over in that services support forum.
    I've sent over 30 e-mail messages in the last 2 days to accounts I have at Yahoo and Gmail and not a single message has shown up.
    I use Mail.app with a .Mac account and Apple's smtp.mac.com server.
    The app makes the sent "swoosh" sound, the message goes into my outbox, but it never arrives at the destination.
    This also happens when using the .Mac webmail feature as well.
    It will happen nearly 100% of the time of the message is PGP encrypted. It's more random with unencrypted messages.

  • IPhone $, cant sent mail

    I solved the problem, I wasnt putting the password in outgoing mail, only incoming.

  • Iphone Fasthost outgoing mail problem

    I cant get my outgoing mail to send from my webmail account.
    Have tried smtp.xxxmydomainxx.com smtp.xxxmydomainxx and smtp.fasthosts.co.uk
    Each time I get error message saying ' server rejected recipients address'
    I 've also tried port 25 as well as 2 others the hosting provider has suggested. No luck.
    Any suggestions?

    Unless the SMTP server for the account is authenticated, you will have problems sending with the account.
    Is the SMTP server for this account authenticated?
    If not, in the U.S. AT&T's SMTP server to be used when connected to AT&T's cellular network is included as an SMTP server to choose from and use with an email account. The same may be included for your carrier in the UK.
    If so, this should work for sending messages with the account when connected to the cellular network, but may not work when connected to an available wi-fi network.
    I access two email accounts with the iPhone's Mail client and both email accounts have an authenticated SMTP server. I've never had a problem sending messages with either account regardless the internet service provider associated with my internet connection at the time.
    This restriction imposed by internet service providers is part of an overall effort to prevent spam emanating from the ISP's domain. You can thank low-life spammers for this. The same would apply when accessing an email account that does not have an authenticated server with an email client on a laptop.

    Hi,
    One common cause of this problem is that the data file(.pst) is corrupted, try running Scanpst.exe to repair the .pst file and check the result, for the detailed steps, please refer to the kb below and try the steps under
    Manually start the Inbox Repair tool section:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/272227/en-us
    We may also consider if you have set a filter on the View, since you mentioned you can still find the emails when you search for them, this is probably the reason.
    Try to start Outlook with the switch "cleanviews":
    Press Win + R, type "outlook.exe /cleanviews" in the blank box, press Enter.
    This will restore the default view and all the custom views you created will be lost.

  • Outlook and mail problem

    When I opened a email the other day it was spam now it won't let me login into outlook saying my password is incorrect  also when I eventually logged into out look I made a new password then it says I think some one may be using my account and asked would I fill in a questionnaire to verify it's my account please help

    What, exactly, does this have to do with an iPhone?

  • GMail: Sent mail comes in the inbox?

    If I send an email from my Gmail account on my iPhone, the sent mail will appear in my inbox as well as the sent items box on the phone.
    If I look at my gmail account on my computer via my browser the sent mail is correctly sitting in my sent folder and does not appear in my inbox.
    This seems like a bug in iPhone. Mail I send from the phone should only appear in sent items box and not in my phone inbox.
    BTW, I do not have the option to CC myself turned on in the iPhone settings.

    web interface...
    I have hostrocket as my hosting for my domain....
    I can use outlook with IMAP, and get all folders from the mail server with no problems... If I use the webmail interface to access my email account, and I send an email, it will always appear in the inbox as well... and when I go in with outlook, there is that send email still, so I move that email to my sent folder so I have a record of it being sent....
    So, I guess the iPhone interface is doing the same thing... send an email from it, and you get a record of the email in the inbox so you can move it to the sent folder.
    My IMAP connection on my iPhone will not bring down the sent, deleted, and drafts folders to the iPhone. My Outlook has all these folders.
