How do I include icloud sent messages in my sent box on Mail

Hello
I file my mail on my Mac.
I am running 10.8.5, Mail 6.6.
I have a Sent box that looks like an arrow that contains my .Mac mail.
Inside mailboxes I have created there is a mailbox Sent Messages (iCloud) that I didn't create. This mailbox also appears on my iCloud Mail.
How do I move the mailbox into my general Sent mailbox so I can file my mail regardless of how I sent it?
Strangely I have more messages in the iCloud folder than in the Mail folder. This seems to be because they were inside the Sent folder on Mail until a certain date and then stopped being there.
Thank you

I hope Apple is listening -- the limits on system 6 prevented the ridiculous 6500 emails I now have on my iPhone. I'm not a programmer, but the ability to delete emails does not sound advanced to me in any way. I'm interested to know if it is for some bizzare reason.
Archiving seems straightforward enough...does Apple actually just want us to be forced to purchase more disk space? I like keeping all my messages on my server, but deleting them on my iPhone. It seems I am not alone.

    I suspected you used the eye icon on the timeline to hide the message, but that one has no impact whatsoever on the published version. It is only meant to be used for editing reasons on the stage, to hide objects temporarily on a crowded stage. It is confusing, certainly in CP8 where for both instances the same eye icon is used. In previous versions the Properties panel had a checkbox for 'Show in Output', which was IMO much clearer than this eye icon. But of course, that is only my personal opinion.

  • Problems with sent box, reindexing mail

    I am in the middle of a mail crisis and in need of help.  I apologize for the longwinded explanation, but I thought I would be thorough in the hopes that it will help me get help.
    It started with my sent box (which is very large) "dragging" when I ran searches in it (which I often have to do with my work).
    Firstly, I tried to rebuild the sent box.  Mail froze halfway through the process and I had to force quit it.  When I started mail again, I noticed that the content of the messages were not correlating to the right message headers (recipient or subject line).  I tried rebuilding the sent box again.  This time, it went a little farther before freezing (it froze when the activity window indicated something was being done with the attachments - I can't remember exactly what).  After force quitting again, I noticed that the messages in the sent box were correlating properly but it was stil very slow in searches, the box took a real long time to open, and sometimes it would freeze mail.
    I then tried to reindex mail as per instructions found on the apple site: quit mail, go to the mail data folder, remove the envelope foldes, and re-start mail, which would cause mail to have to import the messages again.  I made sure I did a back to up prior to trying this.  When doing so, my time capsule accused that it didn't have enough space, and that is when I first noticed that my HD was bown up to near its capacity; strange, I thought, but proceeded to erase some media to make room so I could finish the back up.  The importing/reindexing started and all was moving along fine until it got to the (now evil) sent box...  it froze.  I tried a couple of times, and it kept freezing. 
    I tried to go back to where I was before reindexing by erasing the new envelope folders that had been created, and replacing them with the ones that were there before and I had removed.  It seemingly worked as Mail started again.  However, now had more issues.  First, my inbox was empty...  I had to restore it from time machine back up.  Then, I noticed that the content of the messages in all of my mailboxes would not load.  I could see the messages and their previews, but the content would not load when I clicked on the messages.  All of that on top of the sent box conitunuing to misbehave. 
    By this time, I started getting messages from the OS about my startup disk being almost full (real strange since I had just freed up close to 80 GB!).  I knew something was wrong with that, but went ahead and got rid of another 30GB so I could proceed with trying to fix mail and would come back to this problem later.
    I decided to try the reindexing again.  Tried the terminal method, but nothing seemed to happen.  Tried the replacing of the envelope folders again, and the same happened:  froze and my HD went to capacity again.  I then realized that the reindexing and the filling of the HD had to be directly connected.  After some research, I downloaded an app (whatsize) to find heavy or duplicate files, and, sure enough, there were hundreds of GB in duplicate mail data (sent box) in my library.  The Whatsize app is currently working to sort out all of the duplicate files (a 20 hour process).  This is my first time using this app, but I am thinking that, upon conclusion, I should be able to delete the duplicates...
    That brings to where I am at now.  Where to go from here?  After (if) deleting the duplicates, what is the best way to restablish Mail?
    Any help will be much appreciated as I cannot work without Mail.

    In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/. With that folder open, do Edit > Select All (⌘A), then Edit > Copy (⌘C), and paste it in your reply to this post, to let me see the names of the files and folders present at the root level of the Mail folder.
    Before actually posting that information, you may edit it so that the file/folder names do not reveal any details you wish to keep private, e.g. you may replace any real username with "username" to hide your real email address if you wish; similarly, you may disguise any domain names you don't want to be revealed. Try to be consistent in how you disguise those details, though, as we may need to refer to them in subsequent posts.
    Now, go to ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/. With that folder open, repeat the process to let me see the names of the files and folders it contains. Again, you may disguise any mailbox names you wish to keep private. Be careful to not alter any suffixes, though.
    Finally, for the two accounts involved in the problem, locate the account folders within ~/Library/Mail/ -- their name begins with the account type (POP, IMAP, Mac), followed by the account username and the incoming mail server. For each account folder, repeat the process to let me see the names of the files and folders it contains.
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user's home folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the file path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the file path there.

  • Sync'ing "Sent"-box between Mail.app and e-mail sent using the web-app (2)

    Hi,
    A while ago, I posted this question, and Allan Sampson provided the answer, how to do it quickly and efficiently (see below).
    However, that method turns out to have a flaw:
    Here's what I just posted to Apple's sofware feedback:
    ========
    During the week, I connect to the internet from behind a firewall that prevents IMAP usage. I therefore use the webmail access to my @mac.com account. Once I am connected from a more liberal network, I let Mail.app sync with the @mac.com account, and transfer the "sent" messages from the server (the "Sent Messages" sub-folder at the bottom of the left-hand side folder listing in Mail.app) into the "Sent" (paper glider looking) folder, to be stored locally. I store about 7 year's worth of e-mail and use it as database.
    Unfortunately, when so transfering the sent messages from the @mac.com server into the local "Sent" folder, the "Date Sent" inexplicably changes to the date of transfer, and the original date of sending is obliterated!!! This should not happen, and I cannot but consider it a bug in Mail.app.
    Please fix this ASAP!
    ========
    In the meanwhile, does anyone know of a workaroud, other than forwarding those "sent" messages to myself, whereby the original header with the original "date sent" would be retained?
    Thanks, Tristan

    Tristan, we’re getting nowhere. For some reason that escapes me, you keep ignoring, misreading and/or misunderstanding what I’m saying...
    At this point, I can only guess that you don’t really know what I’m referring to when I talk about message headers. The message headers are not the same as the column headers that Mail displays in the message list. The message headers is what Mail shows above the message body when viewing a message. You can choose the amount of header information that Mail shows there by default in Preferences > Viewing > Show header detail, and you can tell Mail to show all the headers while viewing a message by doing View > Message > Long Headers.
    There is no such thing as Date Sent or Date Received message headers. The date & time that Mail shows in the Date Sent column is the date & time that appears in the Date message header and is set by the sender’s mail client. The date & time that Mail shows in the Date Received column is the date & time that appears in the latest (topmost) Received message header and is set by the recipient’s incoming mail server.
    If the message headers that Mail uses to determine the date & time that it should display in the Date Sent and Date Received columns are missing, Mail cannot reliably show the right date & time there, but it may still try to do so by looking somewhere else, such as the Internal Date message attribute if the message is stored on an IMAP server. Problem is, contrary to what happens with the message headers I’ve mentioned, the Internal Date is an IMAP attribute that isn’t part of the message itself, and hence, is lost as soon as the message is moved out of the server...
    Before the transfer:
    <http://homepage.mac.com/thubsch/eMailTransfer0.gif>
    What you’re showing here is Date Received, not Date Sent, but I could say the same I’ve said about Date Sent in previous posts, except in this case Mail gets the date & time to be displayed there from the latest (topmost) Received message header. The thing is, that header is set by the recipient’s incoming mail server, so don’t be surprised if you don’t see it either by doing View > Message > Long Headers while viewing a sent message...
    Again, if that message header is not present, Mail will have to get the date & time to be displayed in the Date Received column from somewhere else. In particular, if the message is stored on an IMAP server, as is the case here, it can determine that date & time by querying the IMAP server for the Internal Date message attribute, just like it can for the Date Sent column when there is no Date message header.
    BTW, note that Date Received is meaningless for sent messages (Mail has absolutely no idea when the messages were received, not even whether they were actually received), but since those messages would normally have no Received message header, Mail would actually display the right sent date & time in Date Received for sent messages if the Date message header was present.
    However, I wish to store those messages on my machine locally. In answer
    to my earlier question (for which you cited the URL), the really simple
    procedure was recommended, to select all messages from "SentMessages"
    and press-and-drag them into the "Sent" folder. When I do that, the "Date
    Sent" for all those messages becomes the date & time of transfer:
    <http://homepage.mac.com/thubsch/eMailTransfer1.gif>
    And again, when you do that, Mail can no longer query the IMAP server for the Internal Date message attribute. Since the message headers that you keep ignoring and that Mail needs in order to be able to show the right date & time in the Date Sent and Date Received columns aren’t there either, Mail simply has absolutely no way of knowing what date & time should it display there other than by looking at the creation date of the *.emlx files associated with those messages...
    Now, you are welcome to write a dissertation on how come this happens and
    why this is not a bug in "Mail.app". However, you are missing the boat:
    Interestingly enough, I’ve already explained multiple times why that happens and why this is not Mail’s fault. The culprit here is the mail client used to send those messages, which fails to set the Date message header that Mail (or any other mail client, for that matter) needs in order to be able to determine what the Date Sent is supposed to be.
    It’s you who keeps missing the boat and ignoring, misreading and/or misunderstanding everything I’m saying...

  • How to sync SENT boxes from Mail and Yahoo Mail?

    I have a Yahoo! mail acct. (it's actually a AT&T acct. with an sbcglobal.net domain name accessible through Yahoo mail). I access this acct. through Mail via POP at home, and at work I access it via web.
    How can i get mail messages sent via Mail to show up when I access it via the web and vice versa? Is this possible?

    There is one option and that is to use Mail's 'automatically cc (or bcc) myself' function, which you can enable from the Composing preference pane. Then you can set up a filter in Yahoo mail to move any message originating from your own address to another folder. Unfortunately, it doesn't let you move them to the regular Sent folder, but you can create a new folder called Sent Mail or something and move them there - at least then you'll have a copy.
    N.B. that 'automatically cc myself' is a global preference, so it applies to all your accounts.

  • How do you open multiple email messages at the same time on Mail?

    Hi,
    are there any preferences to control how emails are opened from Mail client.
    Currently I can only open one emil at a time and can not toggle between messages or even toggle between the inbox view and a single message.  This is very frustrating especially if you want to toggle across multiple messages.
    Thanks for the help.

    Just figured it out - I can select multiple messages as you suggested when I am not in full screen mode.
    So once I come out of full screen mode - then the multiple windows open.

  • ICloud email messages not showing up in Mac mail

    I just noticed that my Mail client on mac osx lion isn't receiving emails on my @me.com account from the iCloud. 
    The emails are showing up fine on my iphone, but they are not appearing in Mail on my Mac.
    This seems to be a new issue as I didn't notice it yesterday after moving on Wed to iCloud.
    Any ideas?

    I had the same problem today and have a solution.
    I deleted the iCloud account from Mail, quit Mail, reopened Mail and then set up the account again. (I noticed that it did update the grayed out [uneditable] incoming mail server.) The messages that had been available on iOS 5 appeared in Mail and all is working fine now. It took about a minute to fix and I hope this works for you.

    If you migrated from MobileMe to iCloud before the end of August last year you can access your email at http://icloud.com
    Your signature says you are using Leopard; you can set up Mail to access your iCloud email by following the process described here (be sure to use the instructions for Leopard where they are different from Snow Leopard):
    Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard

  • How do I restore iCloud mailboxes from Time Machine without losing new mail?

    This morning when I opened my laptop and checked my email, Apple Mail decided to flag every single email in my three separate Apple-related accounts ([email protected],[email protected], and [email protected])—some 14,500+ emails total. None of the emails in my comcast or yahoo accounts were affected. Of course, each of the three accounts is set to download copies to my laptop as well as keep them on the server, so now all of those emails are flagged across the board—on my iMac, my iPhone, my iPad mini as well as my laptop. Yay. Since some of the emails were actually flagged intentionally by me over time, I don't want to just unflag everything or I'll lose my flags as well as the ones spontaneously generated this morning.
    My questions are:
    1) If I use a Time Machine backup from last night to restore the three affected mailboxes, will iCloud accept them as the de facto most up-to-date versions, or do I still have to go through some complicated process in order to convince the cloud that the 14,500+ unflagged emails don't then need to be "updated" to flagged status?
    2) More importantly, will the cloud still sync properly so that I still get all of the emails that came since last night? I'm fine if the absence of the more recent emails from the "new" (actually older TM) mailboxes is interpreted as though they've been deleted, since my preferences are set to keep deleted email on the server for a month. But it would be a problem if those emails simply disappear into the ether.
    3) Does anyone have any idea what might have caused the random flagging in the first place and/or suggestions for keeping it from happening in the future?
    I remember vaguely that in the early days of Time Machine, restoring iCloud mailboxes was a complicated process in order to trick the cloud into accepting the Time Machine backup as the latest and greatest version. I take it that's no longer such a tricky proposition nowadays, since a search of Apple's knowledge base yielded little information on it. I'd appreciate some confirmation on that, however, so I know what to expect after the restore.
    Thanks!
    I'm going to try cross-posting this issue in both the iCloud and Time Machine forums since it's some of both. Apologies in advance if that causes confusion.

    I set up an admin account for myself, logged on to it, and then followed the procedure in the help file to delete his account, saving it as a .dmg file.  Then, when he asked for his old emails, I followed the procedure in the help file to restore a deleted user account and copied the contents of the .dmg into it.
    I'm not entirely confident I got the restoration sequence right, since I find the order of steps in the help file confusing. But everything except the Mail data seems to be recovered.
    Another source of trouble may be the email account settings:  when I opened Mail under his log-on, there were no accounts set up: I recreated them using his email address and password, but Mail may well be treating these as new accounts, rather than re-opened old accounts.
    Thanks, John

  • How do i print pics sent via e-mail on 8 1/2 x 11 versus photo paper

    ePrint settings can be changed by logging into ePrintCenter, and selecting print options on the left side of the ePrint panel. Here you will find settings for color options and paper size. Print options only apply to documents not photos. Photo files will always be printed in 4x6”.
