HELP: Sent mail boxes disappeared! see photo, thanks!

Hello everybody,
I need your help:
I have 5 mail accounts on Mail and yesterday I notice something unusual.
If I see the "inbox" accounts I see all 5 accounts but when I see the "sent" accounts I see only 3 accounts.
How can I fix it? Please see the attached picture.
Thank you for your help!

A little more info.
I ran the following applescript to get all properties of Window 1 ( default message viewer window).
tell application "Mail"
get properties of window 1
end tell
The results are:
{zoomed:false, closeable:true, resizable:true, miniaturized:false, document:missing value, bounds:{147, 272, 555, 633}, titled:true, floating:false, miniaturizable:true, zoomable:true, modal:false, class:window, name:"Previous Recipients", id:335, index:1, visible:true}
end tell

I am a BT Yahoo customer using Apple Mail, on iMac, iPad iPhone, 4 to 8 times a week sent mail is not delivered into the sent mail box and I have no record of the sent e-mail or its content. BT say it's an apple problem. Any help would be appreciated. Ted

Hello,
Are they just regular size eMails?
Do you have more than one eMail account setup?
Next time it happens, get...
Find Any File...
http://apps.tempel.org/FindAnyFile/
Hold Option or alt key when selecting Find to Find All.
Use it to Find All, for Name ends in...
.emlx
(dot ee em el ex)
And Modification Date, is within, the last 5 minutes or whatever.

'sent' mail box

I have just swtiched to the Iphone 5C and cant find a way to add 'sent' mail box into my email account settings?

Dear Ernie,
I'm so sorry but I gave you the wrong info last time. I mistook a folder for the Sent mbox which I don't actually have, but in the Mailboxes info panel the Content index gave me the following info. Status: Indexed. Date: Monday 23 January 2006 17:21.
Beneath this are two buttons named 'Index Now' and 'Delete Index'. I have no idea what to do next.
Again, sorry for misleading you last time and thanks for your help.

How do I get rid of duplicate "in" and "sent" mail boxes?

I have installed a new version of Thunderbird on a new machine and used Easy Transfer to move my mail boxes etc from my old machine. The problem is that I now have duplicate "in" and "sent" mail boxes. New in and sent mail only appears in one of them but I can't delete the other. I have deleted all messages in the extra "in" box (they were all duplicates) but have not been able to do the same with the messages in the duplicate "sent" box because the "deleted" folder where they would go is not big enough to take the 16000 messages in there (when I "select all" and "delete" it just says "deleted folder is full" when in fact there's nothing in it; I am assuming this just means it would not take all the messages to be deleted). Help please!

After installing mountain lion the local mail boxes disappeared

after installing mountain lion the local mail boxes disappeared.

This is my problem too:
All of my local mailboxes (On my Mac) disappeared from the sidebar. However, I do not have the 'triangle' on the Inbox that I can turn to reveal the list of mailboxes -- that disappeared too (and nothing happens when I hover over "Inbox"). I do know that the mailboxes are still there, somewhere, because when I go to create a New Mailbox, I can navigate to "On My Mac" and the entire mailbox list shows up there in the dropdown. How do I get them back onto my sidebar if the option to do that is no longer on the "Inbox" icon?

Changing mail server settings (per Verizon's request) caused all sent mail to disappear

Changing incoming mail server per Verizon's 3/7 email caused sent mail folders on iPad and iPhone to go empty. I was able to restore them by restoring my devices from iTunes backups. All sent mail was then restored (even mail sent after the backup date.) If I change the outgoing server, the sent mail files are not affected. Changing the incoming server (from incoming.verizon.net to pop.verizon.net) wipes out the sent mail. Since it is POP/SMTP, there are no other settings I can change on the Apple side. It appears Verizon needs to figure out how to link the old sent mail to the new server ID... Anybody know anything about this?? Thanx.

iPhone does not have many settings for POP email clients, which is what Verizon is. The options to set delete behavior and file locations exists only for IMAP mail, and Verizon is POP, not IMAP. And changing the incoming server settings DID cause my sent mail to disappear. It was reproduceable. As said before, it came back when I restored from backup -- even a backup that pre dated many of the sent messages, so they obviously didn't restore from the backup itself. (And Apple confirms that mail is not backed up in an itunes backup). Verizon keeps claiming that sent mails are not stored on their system, but where did they come from when they re-populated?
From your restore most likely. Its true that smtp email does not get saved on the Verizon (or most other) mail savers.

Sent mail box continually trying to load

after updating to 10.6 the sent mail box continualy shows first the black spinner, and then shows the pie circle indicating its trying to load its contents.
after this the cpu goes nuts and the amount of ram mail is using goes off the charts. and crashes mail. his happens every time it is opened
I opened the activity monitor in mail and it shows "mail box opening" I cannot close mail properly it has to be force quit .
I tried rebuilding the mailbox but this did not fix the issue.
Anyway know how I can fix this?

Please confirm whether this is an IMAP account, or POP? If IMAP, then what are your selections regarding keeping copies of messages and their attachments in Mail Preferences/Accounts/Advanced?

When I search for sent mail, I only see the sender of the mail (me). I want to see the receiver. How can I change that?

Why did sent mail sound disappear?

With a newly updated iOS7 on an iPad Air the sent mail sound does not work nor does the lock sound. I have chosen sounds as before but with this upgrade the sounds do not come on. As far as listening to sound tracks or internet radio, those items work perfectly. Any suggestions? Thank you.

Thanks. Even though the lock sounds showed it was on, I switched it off and then on again and I got the typical sound. And the sent mail sound now works as well...though I notice that the telegraph choice is now missing. I appreciate your help in this.

Sent mail just disappearing

I have an intermittent problem that seemed to have started since the upgrade. When I send emails from my iPad, the sent mail never gets sent, doesn't go to outbox, just disappears off the device. This occurs in my .mac account and both my Exchange accounts. I've tried switching the accounts off, and quitting mail from running in the background, but it seems to keep happening.
It's not consistent - not every mail - but often.
TIA

Hi...
Since you have a .mac account and Exchange, try resetting sync services.
Follow the instructions at this link: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627?viewlocale=en_US
Where you see: *Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard*
Also. Your profile: Mac OS X (10.6.2)
If you are still running v10.6.2, you need to update your system software. Click your Apple menu (top left in your screen) then click Software Update...
As with any updates, repair permissions after the updates are installed.
Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. If you see any warnings re: SUID messages, they can be safely ignored, information here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448?viewlocale=en_US

Mail.app Sent mail attachments disappear (blue ? block icon instead)

Hi,
I have been having this problem for some while now. When I look at my sent mail (stored on my mac) attachments randomly are not present and messages only show a blue block icon instead.
This happens with two accounts I have setup, me.com and gmail. Both are setup as imap. It happens with different kinds of files, pdfs, .doc, excel, etc.
I have rebuilt the mailboxes, repaired permissions, etc. but the problem persists.
Anyone experiencing anything like this?

Sounds to me like a problem on the receiving end, or that the mail server is damaging the e-mail somehow to cause a problem on the receiving end.
When you send rich-text e-mail, it is normal that there will be two copies of the message in the e-mail... one in HTML form and one in plain text. The e-mail client is supposed to show the appropriate one, and allow the user to view a different one if desired. (See the various "... Alternative" choices under Mail's View -> Message submenu.)
One solution would be to send plain text e-mails only. Mail's rich text e-mails are HTML, and Outlook can't handle HTML e-mail worth a darn.

All my Sent mail just disappeared...!

Been having a couple of problems with a Time Machine drive (WD 1TB MyBook) which have had me diving in and out of Disk Utility and DiskWarrior trying to fix it, but my actual iMac is running fine. However, I just noticed that sometime in the last hour or so, ALL my 'Sent' mail has vanished from the app. Mails sent since the vanish are appearing fine but all my earlier mails are gone. I have Mail set up to use IMAP Gmail but have not had any problems with it before.
This seems to have coincided with a hanged 'Quit' out of Mail earlier today. I'd quit the app and the window had gone but the app wasn't quitting. In the end I Forced Quit but strangely the Force Quit window didn't say the app was unresponsive like it usually does, so perhaps I shouldn't have done this. Either way, I'm pretty sure it was when I relaunched the app that all the Sent mail had gone, but I can't be sure as it was another half hour till I dipped into the folder to check the wording in something I'd sent that morning.
Any ideas?

Owen:
The problem may have been caused by DiskWarrior or the Permission Repair function in DiskUtility. Also there have been a number of stability issues with Mail after the 10.5.6 update.
Apple has just issued a fix for Mail under 10.5.6 - check downloads. If that does not resolve the problems you can import the sent mail using the Import function under Mail/File. You may also have to rebuild the individual mailboxes using Mail/Mailbox/Rebuild.
Hope this helps.

HT4863 sent mail has disappeared

I have not changed my settings and my icloud email is set to never delete sent messages but now it is only storing them for 24 hours - has anyone got a solution?

My wife had a similar problem on her iMac G5. She lost all of her mail. The fix that I used was to look in HD/Library/mail folder and compare that to the HD/USER/Library/mail folder.
Do a get info on both sent mail items and then do an import on the one that has the larger MB status.( Take note of which one is larger. )
Do this from the mail app. Mail/File/import mailboxes.
Choose:Mail for Mac OS10. Choose the mailbox that has the larger MB numbers from step 1 and import.
As always BACK-UP Both copies of both Library/Mail folders first. I copied hers to CD before any changes.
I recovered all of her mail successfully.
Michael
