Gmail sends "sent" messages

If I email someone from the gmail website, when I go home and check my Apple Mail, my inbox has the email I sent in it. This obviously isn't a huge problem but its rather annoying. Anyway to turn it off or just what gmail does?

It is what Gmail has done for some time, at least if using POP access. I actually haven't tried it with IMAP enabled. Are you using POP or IMAP access?

Duplicate Inbox after trying to solve Gmail duplicate sent messages...

.. was trying to solve the problem of duplicate sent messages with Gmail email on the BB Curve 8350. In following instructions from this message board, I instead ended up with duplicate INBOXES. Now, when I unregister and re-register my gmail account on my phone, it creates a new icon. This has resulted in my original problem being multiplied by four. What I mean is, now I have duplicate sent messages in TWO DIFFERENT INBOXES. Originally, my gmail account went to the main Inbox on the phone. I cannot delete the main message system.. HELP!

It seems I found a bug!
I now understand what happens, although don't know the reason. The symptoms are caused by the "Auto-Expunge" feature on Gmail. I disabled it and fooled around the options and this is what I discovered:
When I set "the message will be archived when disappear from the last visible folder", the message is archived whenever I try to move the sent messages to any other folder than the "Sent" one;
When I set "move the message to trash when disappear from the last visible folder", the message is deleted and moved to trash whenever I try to move it from the "Sent" folder to any other.
In other words, for some awkward reason, Lion's Apple Mail is not handling folder-to-folder operations and Gmail thinks that the messages has been removed from the last visible folder and does with it whatever it was instructed to, which is either to archive or move to trash.
Since by disabling Auto-Expunge Gmail waits for the client to take the action, it seems that Apple Mail is sending the wrong command or sending it on the wrong timing.
I wonder is Apple is aware of this.
Any suggestions?

Gmail - Send Mail/Messages

Hello,
WHat is the difference between the Sent Mail Folder and the Sent Messages Folder on my Gmail accounts on my iPhone? I use IMAP.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi, this is how I solved the problem you're describing a long time ago.
http://5thirtyone.com/archives/862
Basically, this link explains how to configure properly Gmail in Apple Mail and iPhone too.
Hope it helps, it's easy to understand and follow.
This other article instead is on my "to read" list since it came out, but I still have to find the time and guts to dive into it. It looks very complete and thorough.

Gmail Duplicate sent messages

I have an account which is producing multiple sent portions of any email I am composing. It is a Gmail account, but on the webmail portion of that, I see no duplicates in the sent box.
I have checked and rechecked settings, but see none that might be causing this.
Thanks for any insight.

When you use Gmail IMAP and you sync all the folders, you do get some duplicate mail on your Mac. This is because Gmail keeps one copy of each message and uses Labels. The Mail on your Mac keeps copies of messages in Folders.
You have a message you sent in your Sent folder. There is a copy of it. If you are subscribed to the Gmail Folder All Mail, you will end up with another copy on your Mac. In Gmail, it is just a message in All Mail labeled Sent. On your Mac you have two copies of the message.
You can ignore this or you can unsubscribe from All Mail by enabling Advanced IMAP Controls in the Labs tab of your Gmail settings and then unselecting Show in IMAP for All Mail in your Labels tab.

I use a gmail account for my mail. When I send an email I sometimes get multiple duplicates (up to 10-12) of the same sent message saved in my sent file. help

Did you check your user name and password in Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...tap your email account, tap SMTP, then tap the primary server name. Make sure the settings there are correct.

Show Sent Messages in Mail thread (using gmail and imap)

I'm trying to get my email set up so that I can use gmail imap and also have it show my sent emails within each thread. I can see it within "all mail" but not within my "inbox." Also, ever since I started screwing around with the settings my inbox now takes forever to upload mail or to register that I have read it on my laptop and when I send something from my iphone it shows up on my browser's gmail as "sent mail" which it never used to do. I'm just frustrated and would love for someone to tell me their settings if they're getting the thread view to work well and for a quick refresh! Thanks so much!!!!

I have a similar problem where the threaded messages feature does not work for me unless I reply from my iPhone. If I login to gmail from my computer and reply from the web browser the message will not be in the thread.
I just want my emails to be threaded just like they are in GMail in my web browser.

How to remove Gmail "sent message" label

Hi all,
I am using Lion in one of my Mac and I found one problem
I am using my Gmail account in Lion Mail
When I use Lion Mail to send/reply a mail, Gmail on brower will show a "sent message" label on that mail.
What should I do to prevent it?
I mean I do not want to see the "sent message" label on browser, after I sent a mail using Lion Mail.
Thank you !!

For anyone who has the same trouble, I foudn a soliution here:
http://lifehacker.com/5555291/how-make-gmail-play-nicely-with-your-desktop-email -client
Simply three steps repeated here:
(1) click on a folder "Sent Mail" under [Gmail] and go to the Mailbox menu in the menu bar. Hover over "Use This Mailbox For" and click Sent. This will make Apple Mail use Gmail's Sent Mail folder for sent messages instead of creating its own.
(2) A label called "Sent Messages" will show up with your other custom labels.
(3) Drag all the messages from the "Sent Messages" label to the "Sent Mail" label, to make sure they're all there
(4) You can then delete the "Sent Messages" label.

Gmail - sent messages in inbox!

If I send an e-mail (on my Gmail acct. only) either from my iPhone or from Apple Mail, the e-mail I sent arrives as new mail in the inbox of my iPhone... Why are my sent messages being brought in as new mail? Only happens on the iPhone, not in the Mail app.

Sorry - I just realized that this wasn't a solution to YOUR problem, but mine . I hate the fact that when I send email from the iPhone, I can't download my sent email to my PC. When I sent it from GMail.com - it downloads just fine.
Anyway - if anyone gives this a shot, please let me know. Otherwise I can report back later tonight...
I think I have a solution! I'm not at my mac so I
can't try this...but if someone could, please do and
report back.
I think GMail uses your SMTP server credentials to
decide on not downloading an email you've sent to
yourself (i.e. a sent email from iPhone that you've
CC'd yourself on).
What if you have two GMail accounts - let's call them
Main and XYZ. In Mail on your mac, set up your Main
email account to use the XYZ credentials for your
SMTP server. Sync your iPhone with mail (preferably
"reset Mail" on your iPhone). Now try sending an
email from your iPhone (CC'ing yourself) and see if
you end up downloading it onto your computer... It
will still come from your Main account, but GMail
will use your XYZ credentials to actually send the
message on their servers.
Any thoughts? Please post back with results!
thanks,
Joe

Email sent in Gmail/Thunderbird etc not shown on Blackberry as a sent message.

Hi
Can someone explain whether the following should be possible using BIS?
If I send an email from my laptop using my Google Apps IMAP email account, should the email not appear on my BB as a sent email? Are they not supposed to sync like Thunderbird/Outlook do? If I send an email from the Gmail web interface, it appears in my Sent Folder on Thunderbird.
And whilst on the subject, should I not be able to view Inbox, Sent, Outbox etc individually on my BB? When I select "view folder" on my BB, it shows a list of MMS/SMS folders but no email folders.
Regards
BT

You need BES for all the folder functions, etc.
I don't recall if GMail IMAP will reconcile sent messages from the webmail to the BB. Another user here might know and answer that specifically.

IOS 8 Mail is showing my sent messages as unread in my gmail account

I had been using gmail's mail application because of its ability to push. With iOS 8, I figured I'd give Apple's Mail client another try.
When I send something from my Apple Mail client, it appears as an unread message in my inbox. The sent mail should not be unread... I've verified that this doesn't happen in the gmail mail client.
I checked my gmail filters to see if something was affecting sent messages, but didn't see anything.
Any ideas what I need to change? Is this is a problem others are seeing?
Thanks!

Hi Tim.
This kind of problems are caused by some corruption in one or more of the files used by the junk filter. Try this first:
1. Go to Preferences > Junk Mail and disable junk mail filtering.
2. Quit Mail, then open it again.
3. Go to Preferences > Junk Mail, enable junk mail filtering, and configure it however you wish.
4. Reset the junk filter database (Preferences > Junk Mail > Reset).

Can't send emails on my S5. Sends fine from gmail, but won't send from verizon account. Keep getting "Sending Failed" message.

My S5 won't send emails from my verizon email account, which is the default email for my phone. It will send fine from gmail, but when I try to reply to messages in the verizon account, I get a "Sending Failed" message and an eternal loop from my outbox trying over and over to send the message. Does anyone know how to fix this? I took it to the Verizon store for help, and they were completely useless.

The tech help is useless. You have to load it manually but you must know the ports to use for both sending and receiving. You must get them from your Verizon fios account. This worked for me.

Mail sent messages out of sync with gmail and iphone

I have my gmail account set up as IMAP in mail and my iPhone synced to Google via exchange. When I send a message from my iPhone, it shows in the sent messages folder on the phone and on gmail, but it never turns up in mail. I just noticed this a few days ago and I didn't change anything, so I can't figure out why this started happening. I already tried removing the account and readding it to Mail. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Control-click on the Inbox, and choose Get Account Info -- Does the Sent folder show there, how does the number of messages compare what you see when open in Mail?

Gmail sends me a copy of Messages...

Can anyone tell me how to stop Gmail from sending a copy of a message I compose, and send, to someone to my iPhone?
Every time I send a message from my Gmail account to anyone (from my iPhone or using the desktop pc) it sends a copy to both my iPhone INBOX and Gmail (desktop) INBOX..
I don't need a copy sent to my iPhone. If I need a copy, I can go online to my google account and retrieve it from my SENT folder..
Thanks in advance..
mH

On your iPhone, go to Settings / Mail / <your GMail account> / Advanced, and turn "Use Recent Mode" off.
If you send messages from the GMail web interface, those will always show up on your inbox when you later download your emails with a POP client. This is a GMail feature that allows you to retrieve sent messages on your mail client that were not sent from the mail client.
By turning recent mode off, mails sent from other mail clients (like Outlook or the iPhone) will no longer show up on your inbox.

Is is possible to have my forwarded icloud on gmail sent messages appear in my icloud sent mail?

I'm sure many people have wondered this... being fed up with the slow speed on the icloud web mail client I forwarded all my meesages to gmail and was able to set up gmail to use my icloud email address when sending and all is working pretty well. The only issue is if I send a message from gmail using my icloud smtp settings it doesn't show up when I go back to my icloud accout's sent mail. Those messages always stay in gmail.
Question: Is it even possible to have this gmail forwarded set up somehow report back to icloud on sent mail too? It seems like it would be possbile but I just don't know how to make it happen. I don't want to have to make a rule to send my old mail a copy of every message to send to myself and then have duplicates of everything so looking for a real solution. I checked out the google help pages with no luck so thought I would reach out to you guys. I'm sure someone on here has gotten this work correctly right? Let me knwo if what i'm describing isn't making any sense. Thanks.

I'm afraid it's not possible. Even if you've set GMail to send using smpt.mail.me.com the actual messages are created on GMail and iCloud knows nothing about them.
