IPad not using Sent, Trash folders of IMAP server

The iPad 1 is running iOS 5.1.1. I have created an IMAP mail account and in Mailbox Behaviors have mapped Drafts on the iPad to Entwürfe on the server, Sent on the iPad to Gesendete Objekte on the server, and Deleted on the iPad to Papierkorb on the server. When I send mail from this account it does not appear in Sent. Using a Web mail client I can verify that it does not appear in Gesendete Objekte either. I have the same problem when I delete mail from this account on the iPad: the mail does not appear in Trash (on the iPad) or Papierkorb (on the server).
I have setup the account on an iPhone 4S, and the same problems occur there. On an MacBook Pro running OS X 10.7.4 I have also setup an IMAP account for the same server and have performed tha same mapping of the Mail folders to the server's. There, everything works as expected. When I send a mail from that account on the Mac, it appears in Sent, Gesendete Objekte and in Sent on the iPad and iPhone. Similarly, when a mail is deleted from the account on the Mac, it appears in Trash, Papierkorb, and Trash on the two iOS devices.
Does anybody have a solution to this problem? It's almost as if there's option missing in iOS 5 to "save on server"; they're there in Mail on the Mac.

Richard

OK, I have found the problem. One of the mail accounts, for vtx.ch (formerly tiscali.ch), was configured to get mail from vtx's POP server, but to send it from my domain's SMTP server. For some reason, mail that was sent from my domain's mail server was being put in the local Sent folder of the vtx account. The same was true of Trash, Junk, and Drafts. I was able to fix this by deleting the vtx POP account and creating an IMAP account instead. I could map the folders of the vtx IMAP server to the right ones on the iPad and specify my domain's SMTP server for outgoing mail. Everything now works as expected. In particular, if I forward a mail from the vtx Inbox, it is sent using my domain's SMTP server, but appears in the Sent folder of the vtx account, while doing the same thing with a mail in the Inbox of the account corresponding to my domain's email server causes the mail to appear in its Sent folder.
I suspect this is a bug due to an oversight on Apple's part, as usually every email service has its own servers. The vtx SMTP server doesn't allow me to send mail from outside the vtx domain, i.e., I can only send mail from its Webmail interface using vtx's SMTP server. That's why I have to use another SMTP server to send from outside vtx.

Richard

Can't get mail folders from IMAP server, why?

I set up my IMAP mail server, but i only see the inbox and not the other mail folders in the in the mail server.

Allan - Here's the other odd thing. Currently, I have my old mail account AND my new MM account both feeding into and out of Outlook. But since adding my MM acct. - even though I set it as my default mail acct. - the hierarchy tree of Outlook folders is still treating my old acct. as king and my new MM acct. as second class. I know, what's that mean? I have my overriding "Personal Folders" folder, with the sub-folders (in addition to customized ones I added) - all of these at the same level - 'Deleted Items'; 'Inbox' (for my old account); 'Junk E-mail'; 'RSS Feeds'; 'Sent Items' and "Search Folders". Then, below that, but at the same hierarchy level as "Personal Folders", I have my MM's root of an IMAP store folder that has as its name my email address, including the "@me.com". Under that, at the same level of importance as my 'Deleted Items', etc. for my old account is my MM account's "Inbox", "Junk E-mail", "Sent" (which, like I said, I created when I sent the first email from my newly created MM account), and "Search Folders"... that's it. If I delete an email from my MM acct., or am in the process of creating an email in my MM acct., I can only find it in the aforementioned "Deleted Items" or "Draft" folders, as my MM acct. doesn't have these. Is this perhaps one indicator of my sent mail synching problem? Or does one have nothing to do with the other? Does Outlook only provide one each of "Drafts", "Deleted Items" and "Outbox" that all accounts share?

Why does this iPad not save sent messages and won't allow a message to be sent to trash?

Received a used iPad as a gift. In email, it won't save any sent messages, nor will it allow me to Trash a message. Sent email goes out, but no copy saved in any folder. When I try to delete a message, it temporarily disappears but comes back when I open mail again. Also get message that says "Unable to move message to Trash."
Thanks for your help

For the deleting emails, try turning the account off and on : Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars , then tap the account on the right, slide Mail to 'off', exit settings and go back into the Mail app, and then go back to Settings and slide Mail back to 'on'
A second option if that doesn't work then try closing the Mail app via the taskbar : double-click the home button to open the taskbar and then swipe or drag the Mail app's 'screen' up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
And a third thing to try is to go into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Then select the account on the right-hand side of that screen, select Account, then Advanced, Deleted Mailbox, and under On The Server tap the 'Trash' folder so that it gets a tick against it - then come out of that series of popups by tapping on the relevant buttons at the top of them and then see if you can delete emails.
For the sent emails check what folder they are being stored, in a similar way to the above third option for deleting emails.

Emails are disappearing...even though they are sent they're not in Sent/Trash

I upgraded to Lion on my MacBook Pro a few months ago.
I have now lost 3 emails (that I'm aware of) - in as much as they were sent - the recipients confirm receipt - yet they are not in my Sent or Trash files. I checked the whole system and they are nowhere to be found.
Printing every email before you send it is not a practical solution.
Anyone know how to fix it?

Same issue since did the last update with my mac mail. Will see an email for a second and then it disappears. Same for iPad, iPhone, on iCloud, macbook. Did rebuild on the macbook of the email account and still saw the same issue this am. Did 2 test send from gmail and neither have come thru. They are not in trash or archive and no rules set and did search. This is really bad for me because currently looking for a job and critical to see emails! Any help would be greatly appreciated. macbook pro - OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 Mail Version 8.2 (2070.6) Note it is happening on all devices and mail is not found on web iCloud mail either.

Move photos from iPhoto to iPad NOT using iTunes

I need to move photos from iPhoto (MacBook Pro) to a friend's iPad. Can't use iTunes as it reconfigures her pad sync to my Mac from her computer (a windows machine at her office) and changes everything on her pad. Tried an app called "Wondershare TransPod for Mac". It didn't recognize the pad (iPad Mini iOS 6.1.2). Any suggestions??

This has nothing to do with iPhoto for the Mac except a shared PhotoStream - http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/ - could do it if you both have the correct hardware and software - otherwise post in the iPad forum -

Any news about Mountain Lion not closing open files / folders on smb server shares?

Hey Apple, anyone listening?
Are there any new about this issue, where Mac clients cannot move/edit/rename each others files and folders on a smb server share? We are a graphics work group in an otherwise Windows-centered enterprise. We have mac clients with OS X 10.5.8, 10.6.8, and recently 10.8.5. None of the older clients can work with files or folders created by the new machine, meaning that InDesign files will open read only, files and folders cannot be moved or renamed. This is absolutely critical in a flexible work environment, where any graphics designer must be able to jump into any other project on short notice.
As mentioned in other threads around the web, this seems to be a problem not with file permissions but with the finder not releasing/closing files and folders correctly when not actually in use. (a known issue is the fact, that i.e. Acrobat pdf must not be viewed in column views preview, if anyone else wants to overwrite that file, but this issue here goes much further). We urgently need a fix for that!
I'm really desparate about this topic, since the IT-department is already reluctant to offer mac support and to look into these problems; if there is no solution to this, we will be switched to windows workstations by the end of the year ... Apple, do you want that? We surely don't!
A frustrated user

Hi,
thanks for your answer. Does that mean, that there is a solution to this on the server side? Is this ACL stuff a matter of setting up the server correctly, rather than a problem with mountain lion's networking?
If i could be sure about this, I would approach our IT department... (the are just waiting for some Mac User pestering them ) ...

HI All,
I am using JDBC driver to pull data from MS SQL Server
2000 for my application Liaison Content Exchange, and
which only accepts JDBC drivers to talk to databases.
I dowloaded the driver from Microsoft website, and had
a successful installation.What do you call "a successful installation"? Where was the JAR file places?
But the application ask me for Driver Name, Class, URL, Time out and Data Source.What application do you mean? Liaison Content Exchange? I'm not familiar with that product.
By default no driver is available in the drop down combo box. After using
"com.microsoft.jdbcx.sqlserver.SQLServerDataSource" as
class and
jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://192.168.17.2:1433; as url,
the application throw me a error which states "Unable
to instantiate an instance of the application driver"Sounds like it could be one of several things:
(1) The JDBC JAR is not in the CLASSPATH where Liaison Content Exchange expects to find it.
(2) You need to do something else to tell Liaison Content Exchange more information to define the data source.
(3) The URL might be incorrect. Only you can know if the IP address of the host is correct. You don't supply a database name - perhaps you should. Are you sure that 1433 is the correct port number? I know that's true for SQL Server 7.0, but I remember that the default was changed to something else for SQL Server 2000. Ask your database admin what port this listener is assigned to for SQL Server 2000.
(4) You might want to append ";selectmethod=cursor" to the end of your URL. (See the docs for this.)
(5) Make sure you can connect to the database with something other than Java (e.g., the M$ SQL Server client).
. I am not able to trouble shoot this problem, any one
pls help me ASAP at [email protected]
Thx.Bad idea to post an e-mail address. You're not supposed to communicate outside the forum. it's against the guidelines for using the forum.

Question About using multiple email address w/ IMAP server

With apple mail in the account settings you can put multiple email address separated by a comma. This allows you to select your from address when sending new mail.
I have added this to the iphone mail settings but I dod not have the option to select what address I would like to send from. Is there a way to do this.? Thank you.

No, no chance of specifying a different FROM address unless you use the "Other" shortcut on the iPhone to create the mail account.

How do you change the volume used for group folders in Lion Server?

So I'm slowly acclimating to Lion Server, however, I'm not able to determine how to specify the parent folder for Groups. By default it's the /Groups root directory on the boot volume however I'm trying to change it to an alternate drive on a separate volume. I've tried removing the sharepoint from the 'Server' admin utility and adding the alternate Group folder (on a separate volume) but to no avail.
Has anyone else worked with this?

Hey,
Open Workgroup Manager app, from the ServerAdminTools, (link) enter your domain name for your server (FQDN), enter your OpenDirectory administrator user and password, go to Groups > Groups Folder.
Hope this helps.

I can not use Safari because I get a server failure message. The same with email. Cannot get mail, server failure. How do I fix

I Cannot use Safari to access my bookmarks, I get a server failure message. The same is happening with my email. I get a message cannot get mail, server failure. How do I fix the problem?

It might be worth a shot to reset your router first. Unplug it from power for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again. Or try any other WiFi network and see what happens.

IPad is creating extra folders on imap account

Hi All,
I have a imap mail account that I am using on both my iMac and iPad 2. On my iMac in Mac Mail I have selected the Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk folders the imap mail account created to "Use This Mailbox For" there respetive folders. On the iPad 2 it seems to be creating its own Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk as well as showing the folders used by my iMac. How can I tell the iPad to use the same folders as my iMac is using.
Regards,
Christian

Christian
Having re-read your last post I have noticed that the four folders you list are not the same as those you mentioned in your original post! I suspect the original post is correct but could you kindly confirm?
Could I ask you the following -
1. Name of the default account (Settings, Mail etc, Mail, Default Account)?
2. Go back to th Mail app and open any email in the default account, swipe once to the right to (presumably) bring up the Inbox, swipe a second time to the right to bring up the list of Inboxes and Accounts. How many Inboxes are listed? How many accounts are listed?
3. Click on the default account in that latter list and kindly state the name of all the folders listed there.
Thanks. Alan

What is the difference between the "sent" and "sent items" folders?

My email is in the "sent" folder but not the "sent items" folder. How do I know my email has actually been sent?
Why are there two folders?
Can I just use one?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Emails sent from Thunderbird go into the "Sent" folder. Emails from Android phone go into the "Sent Items" folder. MS Outlook sees both, but TB only sees "Sent"

Sent vs. Sent Items <br>
In Thunderbird, the Sent folder (located on the IMAP mail server) retains a copy of each of your outgoing e-mail messages. This is a function that can be altered in the preferences, but is most often configured in this way on the Princeton campus. '''Outlook does not recognize that the Sent folder is any different from any other e-mail folder. Outlook's equivalent of the Sent folder is called Sent Items and is generally stored locally rather than on the central mail server.''' When you begin using Outlook, copies of your outgoing e-mail messages will be stored in the Sent Items folder. The Help Desk recommends that you create a rule to send copies of your Outgoing messages to your Sent folder on the IMAP server. See Solution 9202 for instruction.

If you’re using an incoming POP3 server, you can only synchronize your Inbox folder. If you’re using IMAP4, you can choose the folders that you want Thunderbird to synchronize with the server.

Exchange and Outlook Web App use a folder named Sent Items.''' You can synchronize the email items that you’ve sent in Thunderbird with the Sent Items folder on the Exchange server.

Sent messages aren't saved in IMAP server

Since I upgraded to Leopard the other week I'm having a problem with Mail, the messages I send are not stored on our IMAP server.
The error that shows up in system.log is:
Nov 1 14:57:02 iblack Mail[2113]: Error (null) occurred while trying to append messages to outgoing store. Ignoring and proceeding with delivery...
This is the least informative error I've ever seen
The IMAP server has no problem storing other users' sent items, it also works perfectly on the two other macs we have here which aren't running Leopard.
I tried googling the error but that yielded 0 results, anyone here able to shed some light on the problem/error?
Tomas

Same problem here, connecting to a Groupwise (not latest) server. Whenever Mail.app 3 tries to upload/save a new messsage to the server, it would not save and completely lose the message!
I found slightly more information by turning off the "Save to server" option for Sent and Drafts, created a new message that I saved as draft, and then tried to manually move items to the Drafts or Sent folder on the IMAP server.
The error I received was: The message <message> could not be moved to the mailbox <mailbox>-<account>. The IMAP command "APPEND" (to <mailbox>) failed with server error: APPEND NotJunk.
To my inexperienced eyes, it looks like the latest version of Mail changed it's default IMAP handling commands that may be incompatible with older IMAP servers. Anyone else have more insight or know how I can get back Mail.app 2.x from Tiger?
