Is anyone losing sent messages after a day or so

Losing emails on my phone without actually deleting!

You can set preferences for how many days worth of e-mail are synced to the phone. Have you checked to see what yours are?

I have set the Message History setting to delete messages after 30 days. Since doing this, Messages app is quite buggy.

I have no need to keep huge, old Messages conversations, so I recently set the Message History to delete messages after 30 days. Since doing this, however, I have noticed that the Messages app has become fairly buggy. Sometimes I'll open the app and it will look like there's no conversations, and the app prompts me to send a new message. Sometimes, I'll open the app to reply to an incoming message and my response will hang at 90% sent and then when I go back to the conversation list, it displays my outgoing, as-yet-unsent response as a new message, complete with little blue new message marker. The only way I have found to temporarily resolve these issues is to restart the phone. What's going on here?

Hi,
According to your description, I understand that you need to apply a rule to delete messages older than 30 days for all mailboxes in your environment. Is it right? If I misunderstand, please point it out.
As all above suggestions, we can use retention tags and retention policies in Exchange 2013 to achieve it. To apply it, we can try the following steps:
1. Login to Exchange Admin Center(EAC) in Exchange 2013 as an administrator.
2. Click compliance management > retention tags.
3. Click New Tag > applied automatically to entire mailbox(default).
4. Edit the Name, Retention action and Retention period(30 days), then
Save it.
5. Click Retention Policies tab > New.
6. Edit Name and add the Retention tags you created a moment ago. And
Save it.
7. Navigate to Recipients > Mailboxes.
8. In the list view, use the Shift or Ctrl keys to select multiple mailboxes.
9. In the details pane, click More options.
10. Under Retention Policy, click Update.
11. In Bulk Assign Retention Policy, select the retention policy you created to apply to the mailboxes, and then click
Save.
Hope it helps.
Thanks,

Recover Sent Messages after Rebuild erased them

I really need some help with the following issue:
Last week I opened Mail and searched for a messages. I found it, but when I clicked it, it appeared blank. I started Rebuild and suddenly all blank messages were gone! I moved Mail out of my /library and it downloaded all again, BUT the sent messages are lost. Now I wonder if there is a way to find them somewhere on my computer (they are not stored on the servers, as I wrote them in Mail and sent them from my MBP.
Strangely not all of my 4 accounts got affected the same way. One (work) lost all! sent messages, one Yahoo lost part of it, the other nothing and Hotmail didn´t get affected at all. As I used them in the very same order most lately there might be a connection. Also the received messages lost are mostly from: University account (all before november 9th), one Yahoo (all before june 2009) and the others are intact. The received ones I could recover from the servers.
But I really would love to find the sent ones again!
All started after I upgraded Java and it didn´t get fixed by 10.6.5. or repairing permissions.
Thanks!

Sounds like you had some kind of corruption in your mailboxes. Unfortunately, if you don't have backups, there's really no good way to recover those messages. I think that using data recovery software to recover messages would be very difficult, not to mention the issue that you may have written over some of that data already, by continuing to use the computer. If you want to try, you could use [Data Rescue|http://www.prosofteng.com>, [File Salvage|http://subrosasoft.com/OSXSoftware/index.php?mainpage=product_info&productsid=1] or some other recovery tool.
In the end, all this could have been avoided by simply having backups. In the future, it's simply a matter of time before you lose more data, so you should start backing up as soon as possible. See my [Mac Backup Guide|http://www.reedcorner.net/thomas/guides/backups> for assistance with that.

Mail won't stop attempting to send message after 3 days

Greetings. My wife's iPhone 4 has been attempting to send a large message via Mail for the past 3 days. I'd like to stop the message since it's clearly not going to be sent. I've tried turning the phone off and on, but to no avail. The "Edit" box in the upper right corner is unavailable. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks so much and have a great day.

Have you tried deleting the message from the Outbox?
Restarting or resetting the device will never stop an email from sending. The only way to stop it is to delete the message or remove and re-add the email account.

Double Sent Messages after Reindexing

Hi all,
my Mac tends to destroy its Mail index on a regular basis. After switching to a Mac I had to get used to data loss - sad enough.
This alone is not a big deal. Just reindex the mail and one should be done
with the problem.
What really annoys me is the fact that after reindexing mail my outbox is full with 20 or so almost arbitrary mails that Mail tries to resend. Hence I disconnect the machine from the net, if I reindex, delete all mails he puts in the outbox to prevent the machine from sending month old dup mails.
This happened a few times anyway and if I'm asked "why do you send out months old mails" I have to say "because I have a Mac that tends to do nasty things in one of the most basic services" - very annoying!
BUT - sorry - this is not a professional procedure ..
Has anybody got an answer
* whether this is a known problem
* and why Apple is not able to provide a mail program that is not ridden with such essential and really annoying bugs.
Providing a program that does not destroy its index of 7.000 or so mails on an almost weekly basis should be no rocket science.
If I took it seriously, I would have to discard my fleet of three MacBooks because this behaviour is not tolerable in Business - just because you violate a few laws about archiving of mails and a few guys at Wall Street have paid 1,5 billion in fines for missing mails.
Any help - any comments ???

Ernie, in the meantime I'm able to reproduce the behaviour.
If I'm using Mail.app via an UMTS connection the program will
sometimes not send out mails.
In trains this happens preferably when the connection is shaky (tunnels) -
but it also happened to me in a coffeeshop with premium UMTS reception. But most mobile connections have longer breaks due to the specific behaviour of UMTS cells.
In this case mails are not sent out - they simply disappear and cannot
be found - neither via spotlight nor any other means. They simply seem gone.
Once I notice this behaviour I can throw away the mail index and after reindexing the lost mails will appear in the outbox - this explains what
I described as "double sent mails" above. It was worse - they never went out
and they show up again in the outbox after reindex.
Seems like the guys at Apple are not able to program against a notion of transaction (either the mail is out or still in the out basket). Hard to believe for somebody with a MS in computer science that creators of a commercial and widespread mail applicaion would assume a fully stable internet connection in order to have the program work correctly. They should know that no data connection is fully reliable.
Anyway - I have enough facts now to do as you said and forward the bug to the Apple Dev team.
Cheers, Wolfgang

How do I retrieve my sent messages after upgrading to ios5. the synch did not provide any sent messages

I just did an upgrade to ios 5. Some different things happened that I have not encountered before. It indicated I was synch more apps than I had - in the order of 240 when I have maybe 50. When I opened mail - all my inbox, sent and deleted messages were missing. Any advice and sugestions would help.

The iTunes sync process does not include email account mailboxes and messages.
If the account is a POP account, all received messages tha remain on the server will be downloaded as new and unread messages. Messages in the account's Sent and Trash mailboxes will not be available since these mailboxes are not stored on the server with a POP account.
If the account is an IMAP account and you were storing the account's Sent and Deleted mailboxes on the server with the account settings on your iPhone, messages in all server stored mailboxes will be available again but must be re-downloaded which will occur when a server stored mailbox is selected.
Not sure why the apps in your iTunes library that were not selected under the Apps tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes and were not on your iPhone were selected and transferred, but the apps can be removed by deselecting the apps under the Apps tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes followed by a sync.

Mail 4.2 Automatically Deleting Messages from Inbox/Sent after 30 Days

Running Mail 4.2 and four POP accounts - I've looked everywhere in Preferences but there is nothing that indicates why Mail should be deleting my Inbox and Sent messages over 30 days old. This just started and it has always let me view my messages back well over a year. The messages that I've moved to mailboxes I've created are all intact, just the Inbox/Sent.
This is not good because I've kept a lot of messages in there I've wanted to keep. I'm running Time Machine and it's no use -- the messages don't exist there either. Any thoughts?
I suppose I could run a script each day to move Inbox/Sent messages to a "Hold" mailbox but that seems like a ridiculous work-around. Thanks! Greg

I usually either delete them after I've answered them, or move them to an appropriate mailbox I've created - I have at least 15 - to keep (some indefinitely). I try to keep my inbox and sent box reasonably clean - the only messages there are current/unanswered/waiting for action.
I used to have a few problems with messages disappearing quite some time ago and could not figure it out until I finally changed my settings on the Comcast web mail preferences - they are now set to be deleted after 30 daywhich is fine for me. My Mail preferences are set to remove messages from server after one week - but they are not; as I learned, the Comcast settings override the Mail settings.
It's a long shot, but you might want to change the settings on your Comcast web mail not to delete messages until 90 days later - changing my settings took care of my local Mail problem.

Delays in receiving imessages and text messages after iOS7 update - iphone 4s

Sending messages is never a problem (unlike a lot of issues I've read) only receiving, and the sender of the message is always notified it was sent successfully - even though i receive the sent message minutes to days after.
Sometimes the messages are only received if:
1) I tap the messages icon
2) the screen freezes for 10-30 seconds
3) I get a rush of new message notifications that say "2d ago" or "35 min ago"
Any one else having the above problem? - Not happy at all with iOS7 performance on my 4S so far.

its giving you a choose on device sign in with apple id or create apple id. sounds like you are selecting create. do this
Hard Reset
Press and hold BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
now choose sign in with apple id not create.
Peace, Clyde

Deleted items would not be purged automatically after 30 days

On my Exchange 2013 ECP, I went to Servers->Databases, then double click to open one of the databases listed, I then clicked Limits, under "Keep
deleted items for (days):", I set it to 30 days. But the deleted items in Outlook or OWA did not get purged automatically even it's over 30 days.
Is there anything I missed? Thanks much in advance!

Hi.
I am giving you this procedure without details but I suggest you read the white paper. Message Retention Management is a topic that impacts greatly on the business.
Retention policies are an enterprise license feature.
In the EAC, under compliance management -> retention tags:
1 - Create a retention tag that delete Trash message after 30 days (similar to "30 Days Delete" but applies to Default Folder Trash);
2 - Create a retention tag that delete Inbox message after 2 years;
In the EAC, under compliance management -> retention policies:
3 - Create a new Retention Polcy including the two Tags just created;
Apply the newly created retention policy to the Mailbox (recipients -> mailboxes -> mailbox properties -> Mailbox Features -> retention Policy).

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.

Filing sent messages real-time

A new & happy iMac owner, i am organizing and just set up Mail folders. While it is easy to file incoming messages into my folders, I can't find an easy (i.e. one-click) way to file my sent messages that I want to retain in a folder. After sending, I am going to the Sent folder, highlighting a message, and copying it to a folder. At work, Outlook has a Send&File option to use when sending the original. I have read about Smart Mailboxes, but that doesn't answer to me. What am I missing? Thanks for any advice.

You’re missing nothing. This is a well-known Mail shortcoming. Mail applies rules automatically to incoming messages only. There are at least three ways to work around this limitation:
(1) Apply the rules manually every so often by selecting the messages in Sent and doing Message > Apply Rules.
(2) Go to Preferences > Composing and check Automatically [Bcc] myself, so that the rules are applied automatically to the copies received. If you do this, you may also want to set Mail to erase copies of sent messages after a certain amount of time in Preferences > Accounts > Mailbox Behaviors.
(3) Use Andreas Amann’s Mail Scripts’ Filter Sent Messages script to make Mail apply the rules automatically to your sent messages as well.

Colors in sent messages

I do not at all like the white letters on green background in the sent messages after upgrading to ios7. Is it possible to change colors???

No one answered. I got outside help

Cant find my user name/password and I'm told it's been sent to my e-mail...after 3 days no e-mail.

I'm pretty furious. For days I've been attempting to contact anyone @ Mozilla/firefox. Reason: Last week I downloaded Firefox to replace IExplorer. Everything seems to work fine...EXCEPT...e-mail. E-mail via att.yahoo.com. It runs hideously slow. (It didn't do that w/ Internet Explorer.) I need to know how to fix it.
When I've attempted to access support through Firefox "Get started..." "Get help"....etc. I've been requested to furnish "user name" and "password." Since I misplaced both, I requested Firefox to send it to me. The response I got was "...an e-mail (containing that information) "was sent to the e-mail location" I furnished.
NOPE!! After several days and multiple access each day.....no e-mail from Mozilla/Firefox.
At this point I'm about to share my experience w/ CNET and PC Mag. I must remind you that I'm about half computer stupid...but I learn easily.

Since this message appeared here ([https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1018860]), I think that means your support account is active now and that you are successfully logged in. If you use the Edit Profile link, can you find the email account the site is using?

After upgrading to iOS 5 I have lost all my sent messages'all my deleted messages have returned ,2 of which I also can't delete!

After upgrading to ios5 all my sent messages disappeared,my deleted messages returned,a couple of which I also cannot delete!Anyone any ideas?I am thinking I should have stayed with ios4,as ios5 seems to be pitched at iPad 2 users.

Thanks for the clarification. Yes, I do access my email from 2 different sources.
FYI, I use the POP mailserver as I need most of the information to be loaded onto my PC while on a plane / not connected to the interenet.
The primary use of mail on my iPhone is to be available as much as possible - even when I'm away from my office.
Thanks again for your help. I'll start deleting them in segments of 100.......
