Items from Gmail Sent folder not imported to Apple Mail during IMAP setup

Hi,
I just set up IMAP for my Gmail account. Now, although my Inbox folder got copied over to Apple Mail, the Sent folder did not.
Anyone know how I can copy this over too? Its just that I have lots of flagged items that I occasionally reference from the Sent folder.
Thanks.

I'm presuming you have webmail access? In the webmail environment, can you move those messages into another folder or into the inbox itself, then connect in the Mac Mail.app environment, the mailboxes/folders will synchronize, then drag-and-drop them into the Sent folder? And make sure that in Mail's Prefs, you have the "Store Sent Mail on server" checkbox checked?

  • Mail sent from android phone is not appearing in Apple Mail

    Hi all.
    I have an android phone and it sends and retrieves mail from my .mac address (yup still got it) just fine.
    The problem is that sent mail in Apple Mail (osx 10.7.5) on my MacPro indicates that there was a response with its little arrow, but clicking on that arrow says that the message can't be found and may have been deleted.
    Also, if I send an email via Apple Mail, it doesn't appear in the sent box on my phone.
    In a browser viewing my iCould mail, the appearance is the same as Apple Mail. The only box that's syncing is the inbox.
    Why is this, how do I fix it?
    Many thanks.

    You need to remap the folders on your phone to match the mapping used in Mail on your Mac.

  • I use gmail and do not want the apple mail program.

    Apple mail keeps popping up.  How do I permanently get rid of it?
    Thanks, Norm

    Do you use Gmail in Apple Mail or online?
    If you use it online and not through Mail, then Mail shouldn't be "popping up" as long it is not open. If it's opening on startup because of the Resume feature you can disable it by going to ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Saved Application State and deleting that folder.
    Note: To get to ~/Library go to your Finder "Go" menu hold the option key to choose "Library".

  • Gmail suddenly not working with Apple Mail

    My gmail suddenly is not working with Apple Mail.
    It said my username or password is wrong, but it was okay this morning.
    Nevertheless, I deleted my gmail account, and re-setup it using Internet Accounts from System Preference.
    However, I got the beow message:
    There was a problem setting up the Mail account. An unknown error occurred.
    I am sure my username and password are correct because I just login it using Safari.
    Does anyone know what the cause is?
    Please help~~~

    Gmail not syncing in mac mail is a problem that is also in snow leopard since the new year.
    OSX 10.6.8  is the highest OS that will run on an Intel Core 2 Duo.  Do not try to install Mavericks on this machine! I will install, but turns it into a dinosaur and many programs will no longer run.
    I had an issue with Mac Mail not syncing with imap.gmail.com. and Safari not being able to find apple.com.
    This was resolved by working with an upper level tech support member for several hours deleating particular system library files, uninstalling most addons, reseting system network settings and a whole lot more! (too much to name here)
    Thank you Apple Tech Support.

  • Gmail ''sent folder'' missing...

    hi guys !
    i just set up my Apple Mail ( gmail pop account ? i think... ) it ''imported'' some 3000 emails other people wrote to me in the last three years or so but not a single one of the 2000+ i wrote/sent to others in the same period of time !?...
    i've been around the Gmail settings page, looked around in the Mail menus but saw nothing that indicated being able to import this ''Gmail Sent Email Folder'' from Gmail over to my iMac...
    what am i doing wrong ? any help would be VERY appreciated, thanks in advance

    hi ernie
    well i'm afraid there's not much else, as i said i enabled POP in the gmail settings page then clicked the save button. then back to Apple Mail, went through the necessary steps when you first open Mail , you know : username, password & so on...basically i followed the indications written on Gmail about setting up POP accounts in Mail. when i was done with all that, Mail started ''receiving'' packs of 300 or 400 emails at a time until it had all of them in.
    being quite stubborn, after i posted here i went back & realized they where ALL mixed up together : the emails people wrote to me & the ones i wrote to them so, to get those in my Sent folder, i went to the mail menu, selected view --> sort by --> from & Mail organized emails by name of sender alphabetically, then all i had to do was select all that had my name as sender, right click & select move to--> sent --> gmail & as by magic, it all fell into place.
    i feel i have done something NOT the right way at all but am happy i manage to get it as i wanted, i had tried the imap set-up before & hated how Mail behaved & clutter of Mails interface with things i just don't use or want to use, you know ?
    anyway many thanks for trying & sorry for the bother
    cheers

  • Apple, please fix this bug.  Sending scanned images to "Pictures" is not what I want nor what I was able to do in every previous operation system.   I want to save all scanned items in a specific folder - NOT "PICTURES"  Please fix this bug NOW!

    I only use Image Capture, so I can't speak for other software.
    Here is how I select a Scan To destination:
    If you are using the minimal details screen, you should have the same submenu to the left of the page size.

  • TS3276 how do I delete messages from my sent folder?

    I am trying to delete 1825 messages from my sent folder but to no avail.  Can anyone please advise?  If I select them and hit delete they look gone, but once I click away and then click back to the sent folder they reappear!

    Place the cursor on and click on one message in the list of messages to select it, then use shift-click to select a range of messages, or then use command-click on other messages to select specific (and isolated) messages, then ⌘ Delete.

  • I need to extract email addresses from my "Sent" folder, how can I do this?

    I have found a way to export addresses using the "export" option inside the address book-however, I need to extract the addresses from my Sent folder specifically. Is there a way to copy and paste into an Excel file? Or is there a way to do this through Thunderbird?

    Every contact you've sent a message to is automatically added to the Collected Addresses address book. One approach would be to create a new address book, then copy the desired contacts from Collected Addresses to that book by drag and drop, while holding the Ctrl key. Then, export the new address book to a csv (comma separated) file and open it in Excel.
    It's also possible to scan a folder for contacts and have them added to an address book:

  • TS3276 Does anyone have problems with sent messages not showing in their Mail? I have two sent folders when really I only want one. Any tips?

    Does anyone have problems with sent messages not showing in their Mail? I have two sent folders when really I only want one. Any tips?

    Not sure if this is a fix, but I tried sending myself a test email from only  the Bcc field, and lo and behold it now shows the Bcc field in all sent item previews;
    ...maybe leaving the 'To' field blank on purpose forced Mail to show it.
    Rebooted the Mail program, still there - rebooted the machine, still there. Hope this is still relevant and it works for you too - J.

    Unfortunately you have taken an Apple product outside of the area where Apple currently does business. There isn't legally a way around this. Apple cannot license apps to you where you currently live.

  • Entourage Notes Export to Apple Mail Notes

    I have searched but could not find a solution yet to export Entourage Notes to Apple Mail Notes. I have more then 2000 notes so I hope to find an easy solution to this. If it will not work with Apple Mail Notes maybe someone has an application which will just have the notes and ideally sync them with iPhone. Thanks

    hello
    I get 50% of your needs: export entourage notes (to another soft like MarkspaceNotesbook). I let you find how to use them (files.txt) in Mail. Let me know!
    There is a solution to export these notes by using a smartphone (or perhaps it works too with your ipod).
    - connect the device (mobile phone I mean) to the Mac,
    - sync the notes from Mac to the device (using PocketMac software or Missing sync software)
    - use now the explore feature of PocketMac or Missing Sync. (to "see" on the device).
    - explore the device and find your notes
    - drag the notes with you mouse, from the device to a notes software (for example MarkspaceNotesbook. I tryed also with Yojimbo but it has hard to do it).
    - Markspacenotesbook will take the note and keep safe their titles.
    - this process could have bugs. I discover once it refused big quantities. Drag and dropp 10 per 10 if it is the cases.
    Hope it works for you
