GoDaddy IMAP issue with "Sent Items"

There's some long standing issues with GoDaddy IMAP and Apple Mail.  GoDaddy is using Courier-IMAP 3.1.0.5.  The worst of the issues seems to be the fact that if you store your Sent Items on the Server, your log gets spammed with these two message (I'm removed the call stack) over and over and it also seems to degrade performance while Mail tries to traverse the folder hierarchy even though on the surface everything seems to be working.  Mail is spending an inordinate amount of time trying to create this "Sent_Items" mailbox and then failing... over and over...
Aug 11 09:32:04 seven Mail[9613]: *** Assertion failure in -[IMAPAccount _IMAPMailboxForMailboxUid:name:createIfNeeded:], /SourceCache/Message/Message-1244.3/Accounts.subproj/IMAPAccount.m:1336
          Expected mailboxUid for Sent_Items
Aug 11 09:32:04 seven Mail[9613]: *** Assertion failure in -[IMAPAccount _IMAPMailboxForMailboxUid:name:createIfNeeded:], /SourceCache/Message/Message-1244.3/Accounts.subproj/IMAPAccount.m:1344
          Didn't create IMAPMailbox for (null)
Seems to me the reason this is happening has something to do with the fact that the "Sent Items" system folder is internally referenced as "Sent_Items" and they are being treated as synonyms for each other on the IMAP side while Apple Mail is seeing them as 2 different folders and failing when it thinks it needs to create the Sent_Items folder on the server. 
I'm willing to accept that I could be completely wrong about this, or I could be right, but neither GoDaddy or Apple side seems interested in looking into it and it's very frustrating.  Here's why I think it might have something to do with it:

If you login to the GoDaddy webmail system and bring up the properties of the "Sent Items" folder, it's referenced as "INBOX.Sent_Items" and it's the only folder whose internal name doesn't match the name given in the LIST command.
I really wish that someone from Apple or someone from GoDaddy would take a look at this seemingly simple thing to fix and just make it work.  It appears to not be an issue for other IMAP clients, or on the iOS devices, though I suppose that my iPhone could be logging all this same stuff internally.
Hopefully GoDaddyGuy will come to the rescue once again and get this resolved.  If anyone has been able to actually store their Sent Items in the Sent Items system folder and not get this message over and over, let me know.  This has nothing to do with the IDLE command or "Use this mailbox for..." or IMAP prefix (which if you run the NAMESPACE command isn't defined) or any other suggestions that have been given previously. I've already exhausted all the different combinations.

  • Issue with sent items disappearing from Outlook

    We are having an issue with many of our users who have had their sent items disappear from Outlook. We are running Exchange 2010 SP2 with Rollup 8. All users on Windows 7 appear to be working fine, it is just users on XP that are having the issue. All
    PCs are SP3 with updates applied. The messages were there previously, but the Sent folder shows empty as of Monday. They show correctly in OWA, it is just in Outlook itself that is the problem. If we enable cached mode the items populate, but our standard
    policy is to run online with no local PST. We have tried running Outlook with /clearviews and in Safe Mode, but this does not resolve the issue.

    Hi,
    From your description, all the sent items are correct in OWA. So the Exchange Server is ok.
    About this issue, I recommend you install all the latest Windows updates and check the result.
    Hope it helps.
    If there are any problems, please feel free to let me know.
    Best regards,

  • Btinternet Issue With Sent Item

    I'm having a problem with Mail and I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on what I am doing wrong. I've set up Mail to work with my Btinternet account. It all seemed OK, but it appears that emails sent within Mail do not appear in my sent items folder on the Btinternet mail survey. They do appear in the Sent items folder in Mail and the recipients do receive the messages, but it is frustrating as I cannot look at my sent items unless I'm sitting at my Mac.
    Does anyone know what I have to do so that the emails I send whilst in Mail also appear online?
    Thanks in advance.
    Stefan.

  • Sent items on yahoo Imap not synchronising with sent items on yahoo mail outlook 2011

    I had a problem where the my yahoo imap  which I set up with Outlook 2011 was not synchronizing with Yahoo from the web.
    I found the solution today by switching from Sent items( Server) to Sent( Server).
    1. Go to tools
    2. Accounts
    3.Advance options
    4. Folders
    5. Then you will see sent. Drop down the window and you will see what I have shown in the screen shot below.
    It worked for me and now all my emails are synchronising very well.

    the last sentence should read...."this folder do however only have the sent emails that was sent from my imac, and not the emails that was sent from my ipad".
    I want all my sent items on all my devices the same, in other words the should come from the server and not the specific device I'm using

  • Setup Yahoo Plus email in MAC OS 10.6 - Problem with sent items

    Hi All,
    I want to setup my yahoo plus email in MAC OS 10.6.6 / Mail version 4.4 (1082).
    The sent items are not synchronising with the server. It means that if I sent an email from mail client it will not appear in the server sent items and I can not download my sent items from the server to the client either.
    Could you please let me know if you have any idea?
    Thanks,
    Mohammad

    This might relate to you as you are using a Windows 2008 Server with Mac clients.
    Apparently there seems to be an issue with SMB, since Microsoft rolled out SMB 2.0 with Windows 2008 Server. According to Microsoft, SMB 2.0 is supposed to solve world hunger and bring peace to the middle east, but in reality, it just puts up more road blocks for non-Microsoft platforms. Check out this article I found:
    http://www.petri.co.il/how-to-disable-smb-2-on-windows-vista-or-server-2008.htm
    Currently we have an issue with all 40 of our Macs not being able to save files properly to the Windows 2008 file server due to what the message claims to be a permission issue, but in reality it seems like something to do with the SMB protocol. We are investigating the issue and will see in a few days if the problem can be resolved by disabling SMB 2.0 on Windows 2008 Server.
    Let us know if this problem resolves your problem as well. You never know how many other issues can be caused by a twitchy SMB protocol.

  • Issue with Work Items for a User

    HI All,
    I have an issue with workflow.
    One of my user stopped receiving work items in his inbox. I checked table SWWUSERWI and found 0 entries for the user. So i guess there is no problem with the display setting in SBWP.
    What could be the probable reason and where can i find if those workitems that are generated for him that he has not received.
    Regards,
    Rohit

    There can be many many reasons. You need to understand the workflow and work with an example (an item the user says they should have received). Then try to follow the agent determination logic based on the data contained in that example and verify that everything matches up.

  • Problems with sent items

    Hi,
    I have just purchased a Macbook pro and cannot get the sent items to display on my ipad or iphone. Likewise sent items on ipad and iphone do not appear on my Mac.  Any ideas please??

    Hello johndrocketmail
    Depending on the email, it may be the case because those emails may not sync up across multiple devices. What is the email that you are trying to sync up? Check out the article below for more information.

  • Issue with transfering items from punch out

    Hi All,
    We are using a punch out for ordering shopping carts. It is working fine for all the users but not for one of the user. That user is able to open punch out site in her system and able to select the items in that punch out. But when she clicked on "checkout" button in that site, it is not transferring the items to the shopping cart. Rather it give internet explorer error" Page cannot be displayed". I believe, this is not a punch out or SRM issue. It should be an issue with the user's system settings.
    But I am not sure where to check? Is it something that the cookies need to be enabled in user's system? Could you please help me with your suggestions?
    Thanks,
    SS

    Hi,
    You could perform a HTTP trace (using HTTP watch) and compare the OCI data in POST method for both users (the correct and incorrect ones).
    Perhaps there is some additional/missing information being passed from catalog to SRM.
    Kind regards,

  • UW-Imap issue with cram-md5

    University Of Washington IMAP Server CRAM-MD5 Remote Authent...
    BugTraq ID: 12391
    Remote: Yes
    Date Published: Jan 28 2005
    Relevant URL: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/12391
    Summary:
    A remote authentication bypass vulnerability affects the CRAM-MD5 authentication
    functionality of the University of Washington IMAP server.  This issue is due to a
    logic error that fails to properly validate authentication attempts.
    It should be noted that this issue only affects servers with CRAM-MD5 authentication
    enabled, which is not the case by default.
    A remote attacker may leverage this issue to authenticate to the affected server as
    any user.
    SecurityFocus Linux Newsletter #221

    Tanx for the feedback.
    1) I had the same thoughts but hoped to get some more tips and inside information to where to start. So if you have them, please tell me, as it might save me some search/trial and error ?
    I mean: I suppose, just like the digest-md5 support, this class is registered somewhere ? any idea where ?. How does it perform the digest-md5 authentication when this is encountered en requested by the server ?.... So basically the process flow... I don't think the coding is so difficult. I already looked in some coding of a sourceforge project called FreeMail that supports cram-md5 authentication. But I like to stick to sun javamail...
    2) I will have a look at this sasl, as I saw it comming by when using imap to fetch email...
    Hmmm... just came to think about it... I also need CRAM-MD5 for my imap connection with the client.... almost forgot that :(... is that supported ?
    What do you think is the "easiest" way to go ?: 1) or 2).. and where to find examples ?

  • Issue with limit item  in ECC

    Hi,
    We are facing one issue with  Shop with Default (Limit items) in ECC.
    In basic data tab, if any value is entered in any field and press enter then that value is not getting reflected in that field. But if we enter the value and click on check then that value get reflected .
    The reason is BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI is not get triggered if we press only enter but it gets triggered if click on check.
    We also tested in Classic case , its working fine in Calssis case.
    Do you have idea for this?
    Do you know any note that we have to apply for ECC?
    Thanks in Advance.

    The lineitems and such will always be saved with English values. You are supposed to for display purposes, re-lookup the product in the appropriate language when you display it on the cart and what not.

  • Issue with Sent mails from BB not showing in outlook

    Dear All,
    I  configured my BB 8800 to work on my office email. We do not have a BES.
    Concerns that i noticed are that the mails sent from my BB do not show up in the sent items of outlook. 
    The service is thru Airtel in India and the Tech support team of airtel mentioned that sent items would not show in outlook.
    I really cant believe that such a thing can happen and Blackberry would release an incomplete mailing solution for non BES users.
    Pls let me know if i can configure so that i can see my sent items in outlook :-)

    This is true that sent items wont show in Outlook, unless you are using OWA to integrate your work account. If its POP, they wont show in sent items.
    Workaround:
    -Log into BIS account and click on Edit beside your email address and in 'Auto BCC:' field enter your email address and save.
    -Click on filters for your email address and add new filter, Filetr naem: Sent items; Apply filter when: "From" field and Contains: enter your email address and choose 'Do not forward messages to device' option and click on 'Add Filter'
    On Outlook set up a filter for messages that come  from your email address to move to 'Sent items'
    Summary: Auto bcc to bcc your address to get your sent mail, filter not to receive copies of those sent messages on BB and filter in Outlook to put  those messages in 'Sent Folder' Enjoy

  • Message Listing changes with Sent Items Options

    I am a user of web e-mail and my ISP uses Iplanet Message Express.
    I wish to set my "Options" for "Sent Items" to "keep a copy in Inbox".
    Whenever I set this options and then go to my Inbox, the message listing layout changes and the Inbox shows the "To" addresses instead of "From" addresses.
    Is this a bug or a feature ?
    Please clarify. If it is a feature, how to customize the message listing to show the "From" email ids?

  • Entourage problem with sent items folder

  • Issues with sent texts

    My text messages are breaking up making it  unreadable by those who I send my messages to. Anyone have any suggestions of what I could do? Other iPhone users who are my friends have reported the same issues with my messages, howevery their messages aren't affected.
    Thanks!

    Check Settings>General>Date & Time>Set Automatically>On. Make sure that the time zone setting is also set correctly.
    If that didn't solve the problem, restart your iPad and try again. If that fails, reset your iPad and try again.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    If Messages is activated but not sending texts, try Settings>Messages>Show subject field>Off.
