Hitting reply on emails in the sent folder...

When following up on emails or issues tat other have yet addressed I would normally always start form the last email in the conversation that I sent (since the other person had not addressed it or failed to address all). However when recently having moved
over to outlook this have an extremely odd behavior in my mind. All other email programs when hitting reply to an previously sent email would go to the person I sent it to BUT in outlook it addresses the email to myself! The even odder part is that this is
in complete contradiction to the behavior of clicking "reply all" on such an email, because then it will reply to all addresses EXEMPT my own! which is the behavior I am desiring, however, most times I might just want to address the one person I
sent the email to, and this results in me sending myself an email, since it doesn't even contemplate warning if I am really intending to send an email to myself from the same address as the recipient address.
Is this a bug between the inconsistent behavior of reply and reply all. Or an intended feature? I have never seen this behavior in any other email client or program used apart from outlook.
If a setting can be changed specifically for when hitting the "reply" button on sent emails that would be fine for a solution, although I have a very hard time imagining that it is intended that the "reply" vs "reply all" are
opposites to each other rather than partially overlapping groups.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
A

Hi,
When you click the message in Outlook Sent Items, the "From" address is the email address of yourself. So when you click Reply, the "To" address is also the email address of yourself.
Agree with Lee. You can use Resend option to meet your requirement. Here is the steps for your reference.
1. Double-click the message that you want to resend in Sent Items.
2. On the Message tab, in the Move group, click Actions, and then click Resend This Message.
Hope it helps.
If you need further assistance, please feel free to let me know.
Best regards,
Amy

    After updating my phone, all my old emails in the sent folder are gone. Can I retrieve them?

    Try a reset by pressing and holding the home and power buttons until the white Apple logo appears.
    If the issue persists, delete the email account then add it back.

  • Why are not my sent emails in the SENT folder?

    I use to have my sent emails posted in my Sent folder but not anymore. Why?

    Two things you can try.
    Try rebuilding the mailbox. This can take awhile if you have a lot of mail.

    Try re-indexing the mailbox. This can take awhile if you have a lot of mail.

  • Email sent on my iphone 5 does not show in the sent folder in mail on my macbook pro and vice versa especially since update to Yosemite

    I have an iphone 5 and a Macbook pro. Since upgrading to Yosemite, when I send an email from my yahoo email account or another email account linked to my website, on my iphone, the emails don't show in the sent folder in mail on my macbook pro and vice versa.
    I have deleted the accounts and re-created them on both my iphone and macbook pro but the samething keeps happening.
    When last I was at the istore, they were unable to sort it out and said I needed to book it in.
    Any suggestions that will prevent me from booking my macbook pro in are welcome.

    Hi,
    Are you saying you are trying to synch iMessages across two iPhones ?
    Or do you mean you are trying to get iMessage that were synced to one iPhone to show on another ?
    Whilst the first is possible - from the date you add the second iPhone the second  is not possible.

  • Is there any way to make the sent folder in mail list emails "to" instead of  "from"

    Is there any way to make the sent folder in mail list emails in the "to" order instead of  "from".

    Sure open Sent folder.
    Just above first message is an icon titled Sort By Date followed by a downward pointing arrow.
    Click on the arrow and select "To" from the list.

  • I am not able to see the sent emails in the sent items folder. I am using Apple mail. Does anyone have any solutions?

    I can't see the latest emails I sent in the sent items in Apple mail. Also, I am not able to see my old emails in the inbos folder. Can someone please help me out with this?

    Hello Vidish,
    You may need to indicate to the Mail app which folder should be used for sent messages. This can be done by selecting your 'Sent' mailbox, and choosing (from the 'Mailbox' menu) Use This Mailbox For -> Sent.

  • Emails sent through Mail 7.0 on Mac won't appear in the Sent folder in the Yahoo web browser or the Mail app for iPad.

    It seems that emails I send via Mail on my mac are stored only in Mail's Sent folder. These emails don't appear in the sent folder of Yahoo web browser, iPad Mail app, or the Y! Mail android app..
    I've tested to see whether my emails are actually sending properly, and they are. I just want to know why the Sent messages on my mac aren't appearing anywhere else. I've read similar issues to this but haven't yet found a reason or solution.
    Thanks in advance

    [edit] I dragged the email I sent through the MBP Mail app (under MAILBOXES > Sent > Yahoo!) to the highlighted Sent folder (YAHOO! > Sent), and now it shows up on all Yahoo Sent folders (iPad app, web browser, phone app). Not entirely solved the issue but will use web browser to sent future emails to keep everything in sync.

  • When I send an email it shows up in the sent folder as new, how do I fix this so it shows it as read automatically?

    When I send an email it shows up in the sent folder as new, how do I fix this so it shows it as read automatically?

    I don't want all my mail to be marked as read, just the sent messages. I set Thunderbird up on my new PC and whenever I send an email it goes to my sent folder like I want, but it shows up as a new or unread message. I have Thunderbird on my two other PC's and it doesn't act this way. On the other PC's when I send out an email, it shows up in my sent folder as read. That's the way I want it to act on my new PC. With the other two PC's I didn't have to do anything to the setting it was like that from the start.
    I appreciate any help I can get in this matter. Thank you

  • My sent emails do not save in the sent folder. After mozilla runs the indexing service the emails disappear from the sent folder. I've checked the account settings and its correct. What do I need to do?

    My sent emails are not being saved in the sent folder. When Mozilla indexes the sent folder, it simply deletes them from the folder.

    Mozilla '''''Firefox''''' doesn't do email - and this is the Firefox support forum.
    Mozilla '''Thunderbird''' support is over here. <br />

  • I am sending emails and they are not getting recieved by anyone. It says it has been sent in the sent folder

    For the last 2 days. I have been sending emails out.
    I have found out that people are complaining they are not receiving my emails.
    They do show in the sent folder so I am not sure what to do next.
    Please help.

    Is it possible all your messages are being put into the recipients' Spam folders? Certain spam filters seem to like picking on we who send email using Thunderbird.

  • Email sent from default acct showing in the sent folder of other email acct

    I Have multiple email accounts on my iPhone 5. When I send an email from my default email it shows in the sent folder of my other email account. It's beEn doing this for a couple months. It just started doing this out of the blue. It's driving me crazy. How can I fix it?

    Didn't work for me... (rebuilding the mailbox)
    I cleaned the Sent mailbox and rebuilt the culprit mailbox and the general "Sent" mailbox.... sent a message.. it 'hung' in the Outgoing Message box for @ 20 seconds and it sounded as if it were sent and when checking the Sent mailbox for that account, it did not show.... I tested this again with another message addressed to myself and it sent as expected and showed in the Sent mailbox for the account... Did another test to a different recipient and the message sent as expected and showed in the Sent mailbox... The only corrollary that exists at this stage, is the recipient of the "disappearing" messages is that I email this particular recipient very regularly and at times with long threads... However, these last messages were completely different subjects and previous replies to this persons email sent as expected.... so this is a random occurrence.

  • Email sent but not found in the Sent folder

    I just sent an email with Mail on my new Mavericks OS, I heard the "sent" sound, yet the email is not visible in the "Sent" folder and no error is displayed.
    Where is it? Has it really been sent? 15 minutes have passed now, but it is still not visible and I'm still online and connected to internet.
    I believe something similar might have happened to me already in the past.
    Thanks.

    The email was sent from my mac.com account and it is not visible also when I access the Sent folder on iCloud.

  • Mail is putting my emails in the draft folder even though they have been sent. What gives?

    Mail is putting my emails in the draft folder and leaving them there even after they have been sent. This is not happening all the time, but enough that it's annoying. What gives? and how do I fix it?

    It happens on both my Mac Air and my iMac. Both are version 10.7.5
