IPhone 4S suddenly not saving 'Sent' mail items - help

When I send emails from my iPhone (on any account) it does not save the 'Sent' email. However, when I send it from my desktop, the emails will appear in my sent folder. I know recipients are getting the email - however there is now no trace of me having sent it. If I reply to a message it will also not show the 'replied arrow' even if it sends and the person receives it. I am finding this incredibly frusterating. Everything worked perfectly until this past Friday - now all of my communication from the weekend and beyond is not saving.
I have reset my phone, deleted and reconfigured all of the mail accounts on my phone. I can't think of what else to do.

Okay, now that I am looking back through my sent folder, it seems like ALL of the sent items are missing. They were there last week - I remember searching through them to find an email to resolve an issue. I use my phone for mail for my work. This is unacceptable.

IPhone 4 does not save sent mail?

My 3Gs always did.
Now when I send a message from the iPhone 4, it is not in my "sent mail" folder. 100% of the time, sent mail isn't there.
I use IMAP, and mail sent from my Macbooks does show up in the sent mail folder on the iPhone & all other computers. Same incoming & outgoing servers are specified on the iPhone & Macbooks.
Why does any mail sent from the iPhone not show up in the sent mail folder?

Thanks to Weaverdrew. I could fix the problem with the guidelines provided by Weaversrew.
The iPhone 4 & iPhone 5 users may adopt the following line of action :
It's simple but really confusing, surprising, insensible & ridiculous. This may be the flaw or mistake in iOS 4 & 5.
Go to the advance settings of your email settings & choose the option - "on the server" instead of "on my iPhone" for all your junk, trash & sent folders individually & your iPhone gets synchronised with the server & thereafter your deleted mails get moved to the trash folder of your server & also the mails sent are shown in your sent folder.

1 of my 4 pop accounts is not saving sent mail to sent mail folder all the other are

When I send an email 3/4 of the accounts save the sent email to the sent email folder. 1 account sends the email out but does not save it??? I have updated to the latest version, I have checked that the location where it saves email is the same setting as all other accounts. Please help

I have 3 pop3 accounts and 1 imap. 1 of the pop accounts is not showing the sent email in the unified sent email folder. The one which is not showing sent email has the same outgoing mail server as one of the other accounts which is showing so i dont think it has anything to do with the email provider

Outlook 2010 sent mail items are being deleted and found in recovered items

My user has this issue with Sent Mail items not staying in the Sent items folder. Items are being sent to the sender. The mail messages are found in the recover items folder as if the deleted items folder was being emptied. This is not the case. No mail
rules have been set to move items to the deleted items folder. User does not have the option of clearing the deleted items folder upon exit of outlook. This does not occur on every message. This at times happens immediately after sending the message. The option
is selected in outlook to keep a copy of sent messages in the Sent Items folder. These are messages that are needed to be saved and have proof of them being sent to the end user.

Hi,
Is this issue reproduceable on OWA?
Please make sure the user doesn't use the account on other devices, which may possibly cause this problem to occur.
In case the hidden rules in Outlook caused the problem ,you can also try to use MFCMAPI to check and delete hidden rules from outlook:

TS3899 My iPhone 4s suddenly stopped receiving incoming mail.

My iPhone 4s suddenly stopped receiving incoming mail. I am still able to send from my iPhone but not receive.My email is still coming through on the desktop, sending anbd receiving.

Thanks for the reply. The SMTP is the Outgoing , which is working. I cannot find the incoming settings though. Are there any? The settings were never changed by me, I think there has been a network change somewhere. AT&T or Apple. I have rebooted several times, and even did a restore. Same problem. The "checking email" and "last Updated xx/xx/xxxx" message at bottom of screen just constantly flashes on and off when I check email.
I can send email from my iPhone ok.

I just wrote about not being able to send messages on my IPad.Someone responded-thanks-I did what they said and now I have no sent mail category.Help!!!!

I just wrote about not being able to send messages on my IPad.Someone wrote back,thanks,about going to settings,outgoing mail etc. and I did that.Now I have no sent mail category.Help.

When you reset the password, you need to enter the password into the outgoing server setting again. I have reset my email passwords a couple of times and I had to enter the password into the outgoing server setting before I could send mail again.
Did you try that? If you did try it, did you try sending an email? You can send yourself an email to test it.

Email sent not in sent mail.

Email sent not in sent mail, where I find them?

OK I have just finished fiddling about with this now.
If you 'reply' to an email in your Inbox it will appear in your '@ emailaddress' selection at the bottom of your scroll down menu from 'Inbox'. So from your 'Inbox' navigate up to highlight 'Inbox' a drop down menu appears and at the bottom of mine is '@myemailaddress' when I select this it takes me to an identical inbox where I can select Sent emails and there they all are. All other emails I send that are not 'replies' to emails in my Inbox are there in 'Sent'.
I think this has something to do with:
Email
Settings
Mailbox settings
Reply to address: this should be your email address, the same as the Inbox address. It then appears at the bottom of the drop down menu from Inbox.
Hope that helps.

How do you reduce the size of the email storage on an iPhone? I have deleted all mail items and my mailbox still takes up 1.2 GB of space.

"First you go settings/general/usage/music/then left swipe over music and press delete and you would think it deletes your music but it doesn't instead it deletes your other but make sure your ipod is connected to a computer while doing this"
as recommended by:

Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.

Why can I suddenly not send out mail using Apples Mail. My mail server is Ntlworld. I can send mail by going to Safari and loging into my mail account, but i would prefer to continue using Apples mail and my address book. Does anyone know what my problem could be. I haven't altered any settings.

Did you ever get help with this issue?

HT1476 My iPhone 4s will not charge. Can you help me?

My iPhone 4s will not charge. Can you help me?

Have you tried charging it from another computer or another wall charger?
Have you tried another cable?
This is a good place to start for charging problems -> iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
Battery does not charge from the USB power adapter
Important: Only original iPhone can be charged from a FireWire-based power source. If iPhone is connected to a computer that's turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the battery may drain.
Verify that the outlet being used is working.
Try another USB power adapter if available.
If no other USB power adapter is available, try connecting to a high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be turned on and not in sleep or standby mode.
Try another USB cable if available.
Also refer to iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery.

Apple told me that my iPhone 4 does not have the possibility to store sent e-mails. I can not believe that, but my iPhone has a box for sent mails that is always empty. How can my iPhone store sent e-mails?

The Apple helpdesk told me that my iPhone 4 does not have the function to keep sent mails stored. I cannot believe that. My iPhone 4 has a Sent box, I have checked the Sent box in Configuratieo--> E-mail, ...Calender..,but the Sent box is always empty after I have sent an E-mail. I know that the E-mails arrive at their destinations. How can I activate the Sent box?

lol the person you talked to at Apple was not very bright.
Of course you can have sent items in your mail on the iPhone 4. I have mine there all the time.
Sounds like you might have issues with the software.
I recommend trying a reset, send email and see if that goes to the sent items directory
If not do a restore.

Outlook 2010 not saving Sent emails in Sent Items Folder

This problem does not exist on this forum. Using Outlook 2010 (V 14.0.7106.5001 (64-bit) on Windows 7 64-bit with three accounts: 1 account is Gmail and 2 accounts are IMAP. The IMAP accounts inexplicably stopped saving Sent emails. The
Gmail account still saves the Sent emails.
Tried already:
1. Changing the Sent Items setting from Save on folder on computer to Save on server and then changed back to the way it was, which is correct.
2. Created a new profile and entered the email settings. Still no sent mails being saved.
3. Ran Outlook repair. No luck.
Not sure where to go with this next. Never have run into a problem like this before.

Hi,
Please make sure you have the emails sent to the recipients successfully, if not, the emails may be saved to other folders if you have the following setting:
File tab -> Options -> Mail -> If you checked
Automatically save items that have not been sent after this many minutes,
Save to this folder, you may have your emails stored in the selected folder if the emails are not sent successfully.
Please visit the Webmail site, could you find the sent items there?
Try Reset View, then try to search for the sent emails by keywords in Advanced Find, can you find the emails?
Kindly check the following settings:
File tab -> Options -> Mail
-> under Save messages, make sure you have checked Save copies of messages in the Sent Items folder
If none of the above helps, feel free to contact me again.
Regards.

Sent emails not saved in Mail 8.1, how can I see them?

Hello, Sent messages are not always saved in Apple Mail (v8.1). I double checked my sent preferences for all my email accounts, resynchronize them and rebuilt the mailboxes, and still not all sent messages are displayed. How can I retrieve them? Please advise. Thanks

Firefox 28 is the same on both Windows XP and Windows 8.1. However, the new installation will be missing all of your familiar customizations and add-ons.
Maybe as a first step, turn on the classic menu bar if you have not done so already. Right-click a blank area of the tab bar, or the new tab "+" button, and choose Menu Bar. Hopefully that works.
Could you describe the email attachment problem in a little more detail? Are you getting an error message popping up, or a page requiring some kind of approval?
