Mac Mail 'Sent' Folder Column Settings get lost after exiting application

In Mac Mail, I have set the columns I'd like to view in my 'Sent' folder to "To", "Subject" and "Date." Those are the only fields I need to see in that folder. It is NOT a smart folder. If I exit Mail with the 'Sent' folder open, when I come BACK to Mail, the 'To' column has disappeared and the 'From' column has taken its place. Has anyone noticed and fixed this bug?
On the up-side, Letterbox works just fine.

You haven’t answered what type of mail account is this (POP, IMAP, .Mac)...
Report the names of the files and folders present at the first level of the ~/Library/Mail/ folder in the Finder.
In order to post the exact file names and avoid typing mistakes, proceed as follows. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/. With that folder open, if you’re looking at it in View > as List mode, first collapse any expanded folders so that the Finder only shows the files and folders at the first level of ~/Library/Mail/. Now, do Edit > Select All (⌘A), then Edit > Copy (⌘C), and paste it in your reply to this post.
Before actually posting that information, edit it so that the file/folder names do not reveal any details you should keep private, e.g. replace any real username with “username” to hide your real email address. Try to be consistent in how you disguise those details, though, as we may need to refer to them in subsequent posts.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder, i.e. ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder.

  • On OSX 10.6.8 Mac Mail sent items do not show the Bcc field. Adjusting settings in mail/prefs/viewing/custom/bcc has no affect on Mail, ie Bcc still does not appear on sent items. Anyone got a fix?

Oh and fyi I need to see the Bcc in sent items to confirm sent email is attaching to Salesforece - when I see the Bcc I know I can delete it as a copy will be in SForce. Big thanks W.

  • When I send a message using hotmail.co.uk, it does not appear in my Mac Mail sent box. How do I rectify this?

    I am using Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8.2) on my MacBook (mid-2009); Mail version 6.1 (1498).
    My incoming mail server is pop3.live.com (Hotmail).
    When I send an email on the Hotmail website, it does not register in my Mac Mail sent box.
    How do I rectify this?
    Many thanks for your help in advance.

    You have to send it from the Mail program on the Mac not the website. When you send it from the website it is in the sent folder on the website.
    I handle all my mail in the Mac Mail program never the website.

    Mac Mail trash folder disappeared. Deleted mail now appears in 'drafts' and Any ideas?stays in the 'in box'. Any one have any ideas as to why or how to fix?

    Hi k:
    That file is in your home folder ~(symbol for home)>library>preferences.
    A preference file may (rare, but it happens) become corrupted. OS X rebuilds them as needed. You will need to enter any personal preferences that differ from the default settings.

    If you're running Mountain Lion (which I'm assuming you are if your MBP is new) you can set up Find My Mac under System Preferences>iCloud. You can also use a free online service such as Prey.
    No guarantee to keep your MBP from being stolen, but at least you can find it if it's on (and if the criminals aren't Mac experts).

  • Aperture 3: GPS data gets lost after 'Update from Master'

    My library contains photos in JPEG format that I geotag in Places, then I save the metadata with 'Write IPTC Metadata to Master'. The problem I have is, that the GPS data gets lost after I do an 'Update from Master', even if I saved the metadata before. I'm having this problem with referenced and managed photos and all my JPEGs from several different cameras. The only way to permanently store the GPS info into my photos seems to be to export the geotagged photos as versions.
    Does anybody has the same problem or knows how to solve this?
    Thanks in advance,
    Michael

    Use Houdah geo (http://www.houdah.com) to write location data back to the EXIF. It's interface is very similar to Places (Google maps and pins) and you can interface with the Aperture library. It's a bit of a pain, but if you need it done now rather than wait for an Aperture 3 fix, then...

    Mac Mail has stopped wrapping paragraphs 3 days after installing Maverick.  How do I fix this?

    For the fan issue, see if you can reset the SMC > Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    That may help the restarts as well.

  • Mountain Lion mails with attachments on exchange get lost

    Dear Community,
    we encounter a real annoying and weird issue with CS6 on our Macintoshs using Mountain Lion 10.8.2.
    It all started, that mails with attachments (e.g. JPGS, PDFS...) just get lost and do not arrive. Not all mails but some, spontaneously. But always the same files were affected. Some work, some not.
    Our company is using Exchange, and there is no message back to the sender, that the mail did not arrive. You can even see it on sent items and it occurs in Outlook 2011 as well as Apple Mail. I contacted our IT and they checked the Exchange logs and everything is fine, like the mail would have arrived, bit it does not.
    We went crazy and tried almost everything, clean OS installs, new users... the funny thing: when you forward the mail out of "sent items" it arrives...
    Today a milestone appeared while troubleshooting this issue: We realized, that only files saved from Photoshop, Indesign, Illustrator (basically CS6) are affected. When I save a PSD as a JPEG out of Photoshop and mail it as an attachement it gets lost. Always. Same for PDFs or other file formats out of CS6.. When I open a PSD  on embedded Mac Viewer and export as JPEG or PDF it does arrive the sender. So it only happens when saving the files out of CS6.
    So now, I have no clue how to proceed. Is anybody else having this issue or can help us? It is a mess, because it turns our daily work to a horror.
    Any help is appreciated solving this weird issue. Thank you so much.

    Hi ,
    You can try setting the below value to false and see the results too since its exceeding the recipient thread limit could be a problem with the throttling as well.
    <add key="MailboxDeliveryThrottlingEnabled" value="False" />
    Restart the transport services after the change and see the results.
     Good Luck :)

    Hello, thanks for the try,
    tried the change in edgetransport.exe.config. Restartet the 4 transport services (Transportdelivery,transportsubmission, transport and transport logsearch) No change though. Problem still exists. May this go into msexchangethrotteling.exe.config?

  • In Mac Mail sent messages show as 'from'

    I am using Mac Mail for my Macbook Air and iPhone. When I go to the sent folder on either device my name is displayed as 'from'. I know it's from me, da! And can't get it to change to the 'to' display. I have changed the view > message attributes > to but then that changes my inbox to my name as the 'to' display. I have read numerous issues with this over the past 4 years but nothing has been fixed?
    Anyone?

    I should add that this is not an issue of the badge telling me that I have mail and then when I open the app, it corrects itself.  The emails on my iphone actually appear unread until I read them again on the phone. 

  • Mac mail help - saved messages gone blank, lost data??

    Entire email folders of mine seem to have lost all the content in them - all that remains is the heading detail on the individual emails.
    It happens without much consistency -
    Sometimes I will use the folder, move messages to it and they will be fine, as normal,
    Then later on I will discover that ALL of the messages in this folder will seemingly have lost their data and gone blank.
    It makes no difference whether viewing in the mac mail pane or opening the message up directly.
    It wont happen to all folders or all subfolders
    Is there a safe way of getting the messages back and preventing it happening any more?
    I say 'safe' as reading through other similar threads years ago I saw suggestions about rebuilding mail boxes which others then mentioned that it completely wiped their entire mail boxes - the thought of that fills me with fear.
    Im running an 2.8 Ghz i5 27" Desktop on Yosemite 10.10.1 - but it has been happening since Mountain Lion at least - Ive had this issue a few times but it seemed to be very limited and isolated, but in the last 6 months Ive noticed it happening to entire folders and I cannot let my records just evaporate like this!
    (I run my home-office with it and cannot lose these records and correspondence)
    Thanks in advance, distressed and frustrated.

  • Mac Mail Smart Folder to organize HR applications?

    hi all.
    i am looking at purchasing filemaker for our business and am wondering if this might not be more easily solved WITHIN Mac Mail.
    one problem we have is with incoming resumes and portfolios via email. normally this is an EMAIL and a COVER LETTER (doc or pdf) and a PORTFOLIO (in pdf format). i am wondering if there is some step by step instructions or perhaps some help or ideas that we should look at on how we might organize this info in Mac Mail or if it makes more sense to try to do this in FileMaker or even something else like one of the Devon products.
    right now we are printing these out and it is really inconvenient.
    a couple items i am noticing is that the FILENAMES of the attachments do not always have the applicants name in it and the cover letter is not always a separate file but is sometimes in the /body/ of the email (we currently use Mac Mail and Sparrow). also, while in the past we have tried to organize pdf's on the HARD DRIVE after we have downloaded it, /most/ of the incoming emails do in fact have a HEADER in the email that associates the applicant with the JOB POSITION. this would help a great deal in the sense that if we could use this it would "pre-sort" the applicants and we could then SORT FURTHER by adding tags or information after the information was already in a database.
    any help would be appreciated.
    TIA

    hi. thanks.
    i have two problems with this.
    the first is that the emails that came in do not have any particular identifying information in them and there are emails for at least a year but probably going back three years. i don't want to have to search through all my emails in order to find these. i want to organize them in my computer instead of having them organized in paper as they are now.
    so if i could get into an attachments folder i could take them out and cross reference them against the paper versions once i grab them. this would be much easier than searching for them one by one i think. i mean, i should start a new thread for this question but i also have .doc files and likely other files and Mail Search does not seem so robust.
    so. once thing i was wondering with the post was whether there was a way to sort these as they COME IN and moving forward have filters set up to catch them. this way if someone does not put the correct header on the mail (i.e. they are not paying attention) their email does not go into the folder but if they do their email does go into this folder and this way i have an /automated/ way of keeping up moving forward.
    so #1 would be to figure out a way to get caught up (finding where Mail stores attachments if i can access them would be of help) and #2 would be to find a way to sort these automagically. i have posted to FileMaker to see if FileMaker can find these emails and portfolios as they come into Mail but the more i think about it the more helpful it would be to sort them when they come in as email attachments.
    it is sort of a nightmare to find these and sort them even moving forward in "real time".
    THANKS

  • Erasing Mac Mail Sent messages

    As a customer of Earthlink, I use Mac Mail for e-mail. I have over 300 messages in my Sent box and would like to get rid of most of them, but that action seems to be blocked by one large file I sent recently that does not allow me to trash it and keeps all messages sent before it from being trashed. Earthlink tells me this is an Apple issue. Can anyone suggest what to do?

    You might be better off re-posting this in the Mail for Panther forum:
    http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=740
    I remember threads from some years ago about big messages stuck in mailboxes and trashing something or other to fix it, but none of the details.

  • Why have my mac mail sent messages disappeared on one computer but not the other?

    My mac mail account on my Air is not showing my sent messages other than the one I just sent.  To find the variables, I checked my mac mail on my iMac and my sent messages are there. 
    Not sure what the problem is but I look forward to some help.
    Thanks.

    I note that I just found all previous sent messages in the separate sent messages folder on my sidebar (minus the message that appears in my regular Sent Mailbox).  I just moved these to the Sent mailbox and will wait to see if they appear there (in the sent mailbox) once it has processed this action.
