IOS 8 sent emails moved to outbox with recipient removed

Hi,
I've been trying to send emails with iOS 8 (iPhone 5S). I'm finding that the email isn't being sent, but is sitting in the outbox. Strangely, the recipient address has been removed too. It seems that if I try a couple of times (adding the recipient address again while the email sits in the outbox) I am able to make the recipient stick and eventually it will send!
Any help would be appreciated!
And yes, I have tried deleting the email accounts from the phone and setting them up again So far I've avoided a full restore of the iPhone though...

I have exactly the same problem but nothing to do with the keyboard.
I notice that it happens if I send email and the phone is not able to send them at that time (plane mode or simply out of coverage) as soon as I have back the coverage the mail remains stacked in the outbox with no destiny address

How do i leave a copy off sent emails on the server with mac mail

How do i leave a copy off sent emails on the server with mac mail.
Pop account

Check your mail preferences. The example below is from the mail app that comes with mac. In my case I'm using yahoo mail which is a POP3 account. POP stands for post office protocol which is the set of rules used by a POP mail account to transfer mail. You can learn more about it here if interested. If the box below is checked, all the mail will be downloaded to your computer when you check your mail using the built in mail app and removed from the mail server. Here is another page to help you set up your hotmail account for use the the mac mail application. Hope this clears things up.

Sent Email Sits in Outbox

It is weird that this problem came out of the blue. Started about 1 week ago, everyone of my SENT email gets stuck in Outbox. I have to manually open EACH email in the Outbox and click Send again. Then they will go out to their destinations. This happens
to all my emails. It does not matter whether the email has attachment or not. Clicking F9 / Send and Receive all folders button does NOT send the emails in the Outbox. I checked the Options and the Send Immediately box is checked.
My setup: Win8 64 bit, Outlook 2010 64 bit, Norton Security Suite V21.
Please help. Thanks,
Hai

Hi,
Many reasons may cause such issue, such as:
1. An add-in that marks items read if you view the Outbox
2. Wrong password or not authenticating properly with the mail server
3. Outlook or the mail server is offline
4. No default email account is set
5. Corrupt Send and Receive Settings
Please refer to the following article and try the steps to troubleshoot the problem:

Please let me know the result.

Sent emails moving

On iCloud, my sent emails don't go in to the "Sent" folder, it went to a folder called "Sent Messages". I looked at the rules and it says that the sent messages go into the "Sent" folder, but they don't! What's going on here?!

Never mind, I fixed the problem.

Sent Emails Moved to Undeliverable Folder

I'm experiencing a problem with CF7 occasionally moving into
the Undelivered folder emails that were actually sent (and
received). I have a scheduled task that hourly moves files from the
Undelivered folder back into the Spool folder, and this has
resulted in emails being sent multiple times on occasion. For
example, I have an email sent to me at 3:00 a.m. every morning. I
receieved it 3 times, spaced an hour apart. I would have received
it a fourth time, but I found the email in the Undelivered folder
and deleted it so the routine would not dump it back into the spool
folder at the top of the next hour.
Here are the ColdFusion log entries that document the
situation for the email I described above:
mail.log:

There are 3 more of these for the 3 additional attempts to
send this same email, once each hour, but they all read the same.
How do I stop CF from moving into the Undelievered folder an
email that actually got sent? Is this a CF problem, a Java problem,
or a mail server problem?

Any ideas?

Sent emails does not appear in OUTBOX

Hello, i got a question .
I managed to send an email using Javamail.However when i load my outbox , the emails i sent do not appear in the box. Is there some flags to mark emails as "sent"?
Or how can i add a sent email to the outbox folder?
thanks a lot

I managed to send an email using Javamail.However

appear in the box. Is there some flags to mark emails
as "sent"? No. If you want a message to be put into a folder, you have to write code to put the message into that folder.
Or how can i add a sent email to the outbox folder?In your JavaMail download, you will find a set of example programs. Some of them show you how to work with folders.

Mail.app always puts a sent email in Outbox, sends on open

Mail.app always wants to have one of my sent emails in the Outbox.
When I open Mail, it send the message.
This is really annoying as it is a message I've already sent, so I have to let the recipient know to ignore it.
It is a different email each time. If I delete the message from the Outbox, it appears as though the Outbox is empty. But if I click on another Mailbox, then click back on the Outbox, there is another email waiting to be sent when I re-open Mail.app!
I've tried rebuilding the mailbox, which doesn't fix it.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
James.

Thanks Allan.
Good suggestion. Tried it but unfortunately it didn't work. it recreates the Outbox directory in ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes when I open it. The directory no longer has anything in it (ie no info.plist of Massages folder).
But when I am in Mail.app it still has a message in the outbox. I have to delete it quickly when I open Mail.app, otherwise it will send it.
After I delete it, the window has no messages in it, but on the left the mailbox has a '1' in circle next to it. When I click on another mailbox then click back on Outbox, a 'new' (but previously sent) email is there ready to resend.
I'm using IMAP and my Mail.app at home does not have this problem (both machines are using Leopard 10.5.3)

How do I reduce the amount of email being sent to my iPhone 5 with iOS 7.0

As I delete email more mail populates on the phone.

Gmail sent messages are being continously moved to Outbox in OS X mail.

Gmail sent messages are being moved to Outbox in OS X mail. You can not be sure whether they have been sent or going to be sent anyway. No network problems or SMTP problems exist, a variety of IOS and Windows equipment uses gmail without glitches.(OS X 10.9.2)

This stopped happening as mysteriously as it started for me. The only change made on my end is that I added some seemingly unrelated filter Rules - around the same time (i can't be entirely certain if it stopped before or after the Rule changes) the proble with sent messages being marked as unread stopped. I doubt that the Rules actually had a direct effect, though perhaps it altered the structure of memory enough to stop the bug from occurring (something which I've seen many times in my 40 years of programming).

Sent email is getting hung up in my outbox

sent email is getting hung up in my outbox on my imac

I have the same issue with my iphont5 on IOS6.
I just traded my iphone 4s and got an iphone5.
I have my work email (exchange) and my gmail account set up on my phone. As soon as I updated to IOS 6, I started to have these problems:
When I send emails out, they get stuck in my outbox.
When sending picture msgs, they just stay in sending status.
A problem with Internet links not opening on safari.
I did everything that you can think of, restarted the phone, reset network settings, restored to factory settings and setup as NEW iphone, checked all email and exchange settings (all are correct) and they way they worked on my 4S, deleted my exchange profile on the work server.
I did all that you can think of and nothing was a permanent fix.
Apple Geniuses, please help us get this resolved. Other co-works are having the same problems.
I made an appointment to go to the apple stores, drove 30 min to get to the apple store, and they blamed it on the bad reception that only happens at their store....
He reset my phone, to reset the firm ware and the problem is still there....
I was told to call Sprint to see if there is a network issue, then I can go back to the Apple store..
I told the guy that I has Sprint before, I even had an Iphone 4s, and this never happened...
He said to check with Sprint....
I have never hated a phone that I have bought... I am starting to with this iphone5.

Loaded iLife'008 and now sent email gets stuck in outbox

Folks,
I refreshed to OS X 10.4.11 2 weeks ago and it has been a good upgrade. Tuesday night 09-16-08 I loaded iLife'08 followed by a software update. From that time on my sent mail is stuck in the outbox with the following error message.
"This message could not be delivered and will remain in your Outbox until it can be delivered.
The connection to the server "smtp.mac.com" on port 25 timed out."
I have deleted the outbox, refreshed email, deleted the outbox and restarted the computer - neither worked.
I have reviewed all email addresses and they are exactly like they were prior to adding iLife'08.
I have only one account with MAC. smpt.mac.com:(my mac account name) on port 25.
And I do not want to upgrade to 10.5.x.
Best regards,
LD

Change the port to 587 and try again. Port 25 is often blocked by ISPs to mail servers other than their own to reduce the amount of spam sent from their networks.

Office 2013 is saving sent mail in outbox with 0 bytes.

E mails are going and coming in outlook 2013 in IMAP configuration. but even after a mail is gone, that mails stuck in outbox with 0 bytes in size.

Hi,
Would you please provide more information so that we can resolve the problem more efficiently?
Does the recipient receive the emails?
Can you find the email in your Sent Items folder?
Meanwhile, please try the following troubleshoot steps:
1. Start Outlook in safe mode to check if this issue was caused by problematic add-ins. Press Windows Key + R, type
outlook.exe /safe in the Run command and press Enter.
2. Temporarily turn off your anti-virus and other security programs, make sure mail scanning in these security software is disabled. Then check the issue again.
3. Run a repair of your Outlook data file to check the result:

IOS 7 randomly deletes sent emails and imports read email

Hi all,
I have updated my iphone 5 3GS to the latest version of ios 7 and it seems to randomly wipe all my sent emails and then downloads all the emails that I have previously read and deleted.
Anyone else had this and has any solutions- it's incredibly annoying as I sometimes need to refer to sent emails and no longer have them on my phone.
Thanks in advance for any ideas!

If this email account is Hotmail:
Hotmail has used POP for emails in the past and this does not sync if messages are read or not. This is an old standard and shouldn't be used any more.
You can now use Exchange or IMAP for hotmail and this should mark them as read and stop this from happening again. Add a new mail account on your iPhone, and select Exchange instead of Hotmail/Outlook.com and sign in with your hotmail details. You may need to change the Mail Days to Sync options after you set it up to get all your emails back. Your hotmail account may also have put all your emails into a POP folder. Sign in to hotmail on a computer and move all the emails in that folder back into your inbox.
If exchange does not work, you can try using IMAP, the details are
Incoming Mail Server IMAPServer: imap-mail.outlook.com
Outgoing Mail Server SMTPServer: smtp-mail.outlook.com
To add the account, select other when you add a new mail account, and put in a nonsense email address for example "[email protected]" to avoid the mail app automatically setting up the account for you.
Then select IMAP and input the proper details. your username is your hotmail address.
If this email account is something other than Hotmail:
It sounds like your email account is using POP which does not sync if messages are read or not, try to find out if your email account supports IMAP and enter those details like i explain in the bottom part of the hotmail explanation.

Mail sitting in Outbox with gear spinning on Sent

All of a sudden when ever I send an email and it could be 1KB it sits in the Outbox. I can shut down and restart Mail 10 times, and eventually it might be sent. Also the "gear" is always spinning on the Sent folder. If I click Check for mail, sometimes it works (send email) most of the time, I have to shutdown mail, and restart it a bunch of times for it to send the mail.
Any ideas?
-Paul S.

I have found a fix for this!
First off, what didn't work:
1. Trashing the com.apple.mail.plist in ~/Library/Preferences/ did not work.
2. Trashing the ~/Library/Mail/ folder did not work.
3. Creating a new test user account and setting up the same account in Mail did not solve the problem.
4. Neither repairing disk structure nor repairing permissions in Disk Utility fixed the issue.
5. Deleting the email account in Mail->Preferences->Accounts and re-adding it did not fix the issue.
In fact, no combination of the above steps fixed the "spinning activity wheel next to the Sent mailbox problem".
I confirmed the email server settings both with the ISP, and by successfully setting the account up in Mail on several of the office machines running various iterations of 10.6. I also confirmed that the ISPs servers were viable and even logged into the service's Webmail portal to confirm the account worked properly in all aspects.
Before doing an Archive & Install with the installation disc I called Apple for advice. They confirmed that I had done all the usual troubleshooting steps noted above first and then gave me the following instructions:
1. Delete the application Mail from the Applications folder, drag its icon off the dock, then empty the trash.
2. Insert the OSX installation disc and, in the window that opens in Finder after the disc has mounted, double click the "Optional Installs" folder to open it.
3. Double click on "Optional Installs.mpkg" and after clicking through a bunch of default and informational screens - and entering your admin password once - you'll finally get to a list of the optional installs included with Snow Leopard.
4. Click the little triangle next to "Applications", then tick the box next to "Mail". Click "Continue" and finish the installation.
When done with step four, I attempted to open Mail but was treated to a little dialogue box that told me, in so many words, that this old version of Mail wasn't compatible with the newer version of Snow Leopard that was installed on my machine. I asked the Applecare person about this and she told me she'd seen this problem before. One last step was needed.
5. I went to http://support.apple.com/downloads/ and downloaded the latest OS combo update from the top of the "Featured Downloads" column on the left side of the page. (If you try to use Software Update instead, be aware that the automatic updates will not check the Mail version number separately from the version of OS X you're running, so manually downloading the combo updater is probably the only option).
Running the combo update on my system (even though I was already at 10.6.6) did the trick. Mail was updated and now opens with no issues. Not only that, but the spinning activity wheel problem is completely gone - I can now send and receive emails without grief.
Good luck!

Sent emails missing after ios 5 upgrade

After upgrading to ios 5, all sent emails are missing from my iPad 1.

From what I recall, I updated all of my apps first. After attempting to sync the updated apps to my phone, I got a message stating something like "The app Numbers cannot be synced to this device". I made a few more attempts at syncing with the same result, I decided to just update the OS and maybe things will work again. After upgrading to iOS 5, I was able to reinstall numbers, but all of my spreadsheets were gone.
Ruining my phone sounds less than ideal. Any ideas?
