If I do NOT store my sent messages on IMAP server, where are they?

My hosting service warned me that I am taking up too much space with my Sent messages being stored on the IMAP server.  If I uncheck the box to store Sent messages on the server in my account preferences, then where do I find my sent messages?  All of the folders listed alongside the sidebar seem to be linked directly to the IMAP account.  I can't find my sent messages anymore.
They aren't gone though.  If I check the box again, the messages show up again.  So my question is how do I not store them on the server but still store and be able to see them on my computer?
Thanks
Bob

That is a solution if I want to do a one-time move of my sent messages to another folder and then leave things as-is.  But once I stop storing the sent messages on the server, how do I access new sent messages after that?  The folder is not visible anywhere, from what I can tell.

    If your MB isn't the computer you usually sync with, the notes were deleted and not retrievable.  Do you backup with iCloud?

    We want to make sure that we get your phone up and running. Can you look to see where you have the most stuff stored at. Settings>General>Usage>Storage.
    This will tell you what exactly is using everything. Then you can delete things from there.

  • Mail copying to Sent Messages on IMAP server

    i noticed that with 10.5.4 that the message appears to be sent to the Sent Messages folder, but never seems to make it.
    can anyone let me know if there have been any changes on this front (iMail server).
    it behaves differently than it did, but still not correctly.
    thanks so much!

    I have been having this problem intermittently, with the same error messages. Some messages are sent and stored properly, others are sent but not saved, and I cannot find a pattern. The only condition that occurred to me is that it generally happened within the first few messages I sent after waking the Mac from sleep, reconnecting to my wireless network and syncing Mail (which it does automatically). None of the messages were large at all (~40 KB, I'd say) but some had attachments such as pictures (~100 KB). All of the recipients were in my Address Book.
    I guess that a less-than-ideal workaround is to 'automatically cc/bcc myself', activated in Preferences > Composing, and subsequently delete the messages if they are in the Sent folder. (Admittedly a real pain for large volume of messages, but at least you have a copy of the messages.)

  • Call Timers and Message Counters ?? Where are they ?

    I mentioned this in another thread but will make it clearer by putting in the title.
    Where are the call timers and message counters on the 9105 ? I have 300 mins to use a month and 1000 texts so would like to keep tabs on how many I have left to use but have looked everywhere and can't find them.
    All I can find is last call and total call duration. Not much use really
    cheers

    sure .... when you deleted the tv show last night when it said removed..... was your ipod connected to your computer ... because if it wasnt ... then it just removed the tv show from your PLAYlist, but is obviously still there ... so just make sure your ipod is connected to your computer before deleting ... when it's connected to the computer and deleting ... it WILL delete the show from your ipod.

  • Itunes does not "SHOW" all of my folders of photos, where are they?

    some of my folders of photos are missing when itunes is open. I want to sync all my photos to ipad.

    Go to menu Edit -> Show Browser, and see if this is what you are looking for.
    Some of the genres are standard and cannot be deleted. That is why you have a bunch there when you have no songs when you first load iTunes.
    Other Genres are added based on the songs you import.
    I notice that on ocassion, when I import a new CD, sometimes the Genre will be similar to another one such as "Folk Rock" and "Folk-Rock". I just select all the songs in both Genres and edit the Genre so they are the same.

  • With an IMAP account, if "Store sent messages on the server" is checked does Mail only store mail on the server?

    With an IMAP account, if "Store sent messages on the server" is checked (in Mailbox behaviors) does Mail only store sent mail on the server?
    So should it not be checked if you want Mail to store sent mail on the server and the computer?
    Thank you.
    iHope

    Hi Norm G,
    Thanks for your comments and the link to further information.
    With it checked you will get both on the server and the Mac.
    I have it checked, yet when I pause the curser over Sent mailbox the tooltip says "Contents stored on server. Name on server: Sent Messages". Does this mean stored only on the server or also on the server?
    What does your tooltip say?
    At the moment sent emails only appear in that Sent mailbox. If Mail also stores them on the Mac should they also appear in another Sent folder "On My Mac"?
    Thanks for your help.
    iHope

  • Unable to store sent message on Yahoo server

    When I send an email from Mail ( Lion OS Mail) I am unable to store the sent message on the Yahoo server.
    I have set up my Yahoo email account as a POP account & I do not see the option of “ Store sent message on the server” as in iCloud email.
    The iCloud email is set up as IMAP.
    Any help to solve this problem is appreciated

    Right with POP Sent emails only show on your local computer unless you are using IMAP and even then it is a setting in the mail program and the IMAP server to store all sent emails on the server. With Gmail they are included in the All Mail folder. But Yahoo is different and only if you have a paid Yahoo account do you have access to their IMAP system.
    No way to do that with POP.

  • Mail does not (always) display sent messages w/attachments

    Hello,
    A frustration:  my Mail 8.2 (using iCloud and OS X 10.2.2) often does not display particular Sent messages -- this most often occurs when I have multiple attachments and have spent quite some time, often approaching half an hour, composing the message -- but sometimes it occurs when only a single attachment and a quick, 10 second, composition period. Recipients report receiving the emails and the attachments. The vast majority of Sent messages are properly displayed.
    I have searched for the missing Sents by recipient, subject line and even text and .... they do not appear in any mailbox.
    Wi-Fi connections are strong and not problematic. The issue is not particular to any one recipient. All software updates are current.
    While it has been some time since I Repaired Permissions I am not detecting any other problems.
    The frustration is "OMG where did that half-hour of work GO?" followed by a usually unnecessary follow-up email or call to the recipient. 
    Any suggestions would be appreciated; thanks.

    Hi Linc,
    As per my original question.
    Using iCloud, which is as you know IMAP. I noticed it does not occurr with pop mail servers. Thank you for looking into this.

  • TS3276 iCloud wrote that my storage was full and that I couldn't save anymore mail. I checked and it is not true at all, but it had already DELETED all my sent messages without further notice. Where are they? Can I retrieve them?

    iCloud does not delete your mail when full, you have some other problem.

  • I get nothing but error messages, -"Your IMAP server wants to alert you to the following: 113 that mail is not available" or 364? there are hundreds stacked up.You must give answers to how to fix these when we do "search" add the error code number

    I get nothing but error messages, -
    "Your IMAP server wants to alert you to the following: 113 that mail is not available"  or  the same with:  364? 
    Now there are hundreds stacked up on my desktop.
    I cannot find the answer anywhere. You need to  give answers to how to fix these errors because when I  "search" "error code" or the number there is NOTHING. NOTHING!  Yet you give us these stupid error codes
    then you do not give us ANYTHING on how to fix these. These error codes make me so mad it makes me hate outlook, and hate the developers and hate microsoft.  How in the world can you give us ERROR codes without the explanation of what
    to do or how to fix it. You need to  add each  error code number in your "search" then explain what it is and how to fix it.  I am not a tech. I am a lawyer. I have googled the entire string of error code and nothing is clear.
    So, for the last several years, I get these error codes. Also, there is another error code that won't go away--it is the password error code that asks if I want to store the password. Yes, so I say YES. but it pops back. I am sick of this. This is the reason
    I hate Microsoft and I love google. #1 they respond to error, #2 them try to fix them you do not. I paid the full price to buy the OUtlook 2010, almost $500 just to get outlook, and all I got was error codes. I could not even open it because all I would get
    was that error codes and NO ONE knew how to fix them. WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM that you cannot fix the stupid error codes that you imbed? PLEASE HELP

    Hi,
    I understand how frustrated you are when facing such an issue, maybe I can provide some suggestions on the problem.
    Based on the description, you should be using an IMAP account setup in Outlook. As for the error message, usually it's caused by a corrupted message on the Server. I suggest you logon the Webmail site, check if sending/receiving emails works well.
    If you find any unusual emails that cannot be read or sent, try deleting them to try again.
    I also suggest you create a new profile to setup the IMAP account:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/829918/en-us
    Contact your Email Service Provider to get the correct and latest account settings, since you have been using Outlook for years, some settings may have been changed while you haven't been informed.
    For the steps to setup an account in Outlook 2010, please refer to:
    http://office.microsoft.com/en-001/outlook-help/add-or-remove-an-email-account-HA010354414.aspx
    I hope this helps.

  • Snow Leopard 10.6.1 IMAP Sent Messages Missing! Where are they?

    I upgraded to 10.6 from 10.5 and everything was fine apart from push to the iPhone! In an effort to get it all working I decided to do a clean install, so backed up my mail accounts (which should now be in one place in 10.6) and everything else + made disc image etc. However, after doing the clean install, and reconnecting the backed up email accounts, I can only see the mails in the inbox. There are no emails in the sent messages! I have looked in the mail account folders and can’t see anywhere that sent messages are stored. I have also since the clean install created new users and sent emails to see if anything arrives in that users mail store, and nothing comes in that I can see, but they can see the newly sent message in their sent folder! Only sent messages prior to the re-install are missing. I have the old install of the server backed up, so I can access them if I knew where to get them from.
    Where are sent messages stored? It looks like they are going to some other location on the server rather than the specified location in mail prefs.
    Has anyone else experienced this, or have any advice.
    Cheers

    Hi, I used ditto (as root) to back up all the folders from /var/spool/imap/dovecot/mail/ and then to restore them – however, they are now in a new location on a separate drive which the mail prefs are pointing too. I have checked to see if anything is going into /var/spool/imap/dovecot/mail/ and nothing is there – which is correct.
    I have also checked permissions and they are fine.
    If this was a brand new install it would all be working as normal – I can see new sent messages, just not the old ones or old folders that users might have made.
    However there is no folder in the UID’s called Sent Messages – even with new accounts! The only folders are "cur" (received mails), "new" and "tmp". I have no idea where the sent messages are being saved too (old or new)! I was expecting a folder within the UID’s with the sent messages inside.

  • I can't find the T.V. Shows in the iTunes Music Store where are they?

    Hi ,
    I downloaded iTunes 6 because it said they now have tv shows that you can buy for your ipod but when I clicked on the music store in iTunes I could not see any T.V. Shows where are they?

    Unfortunately the tv shows part of the itunes store isn't available in some countries. If, like me, you're from outside the US (I'm in Australia) chances are that the itunes tv show store isn't available to you yet.

  • In adobe reader app on iPad, I have a PDF document that added notes and comments to.  Once I left the document and returned to it, the notes and comments were gone.  Where are they?  I clicked "save" and "done" buttons after I entered text.

    In adobe reader app on iPad, I have a PDF document that added notes and comments to.  Once I left the document and returned to it, the notes and comments were gone.  Where are they?  I clicked "save" and "done" buttons after I entered text.

    The application auto-saves your input when you close the document.  If you left the document, as you state, the notes/comments should have been saved and should have been visible the next time you opened the document with the Mobile Reader (note that if you are opening the document with another app such as Apple's built in PDF Viewer, things like notes/comments may not be visible).  Also note that if you are doing an Open In... from another app (like Dropbox), the version of the document in Dropbox does not update; only the version of the document in the Mobile Reader is updated.
