Mail and sent items folder on Yahoo!
(Firstly I'm running the latest version of Mail on the latest OSX on an iMac, and MBA, iPads and iPhones).
What is it with Mail on oSX and how have Apple managed to make it so much worse than Mail on iOS?!!!!!
First issues, if you can help please.
I use Yahoo! On every Mail app in the world for the last zillion years (including on iOS) when you sent an email it goes in to your Sent Items. Nothing revolutionary about that. But why on Mail for OSX does it go in to a different folder called Sent Messages and not in the Sent Items folder like it does on every other Apple Mail app?! If I sent an email on my iMac when I want to find it on my iPhone I won't find it in Sent Items (one of the four or so default folders with a pretty icon) but instead I have to find it all on it's own in a separate sub folder called Sent Messages. Can that really be right?
Secondly, Exchange.
Mail on iOS and Exchange all works simply and logically and updates immediately etc. Why does Exchange mail on Mail for OSX firstly take many, many, many, minutes to update the Inbox (despite manually clicking the Get Mail icon). it is soooooo slow despite forcing it to do it. Also, identicasl settings for Mail Preferences on my MBA and my iMac. One Exchange Inbox says 189 Unread and the other says 98 Unread.
Mail for OSX gets a resounding 2/10 score but maybe I'm doing something wrong?
All input gratefully received.

Hi Scott
To see Sent Mail on you Gmail IMAP address in Apple Mail program, you need to click on and expose Gmail section in left column of mail and show the Sent folder as shown below. This will show you the emails sent from your other devices. This information is stored on Gmail server.
The best way to reach me is via email. Please reply to this email and I will contact you as soon as I possibly can.
Thanks

Can't get Mail- Gmail- Drafts(And Sent Items) to mirror online or my iphone
I have read the posts here and elsewhere on how to get this to work, but for some reason my 'Drafts'(and 'Sent' items) folder in Mail.app is still not the same as online or on my iphone. What exactly do i need to do to make Mail.app folders for Drafts/Sent items stay in synch with my iPhone and web based Gmail?
Here are my settings in Mail.app
-Gmail is Setup as IMAP
-in Mail->Prefs->Accounts->Mailbox Behaviours All boxes are checked for Server except 'Junk'
When looking at a normal 'Inbox' panel, if I mouse over the 'Gmail' account in 'Drafts' it says "Contents Stored on Server. Name on Server: Drafts"
However when viewing Mail.app->Drafts->Gmail, no draft messages are shown. If I do the same on my iPhone or the web based gmail I do see the up-to-date drafts. Also if i select the 'Drafts->Gmail folder), I do not get any options in (Mail->Mailbox->Use This Mailbox for).
That said, if I find the IMAP Structure in Mail(scrolling down accounts) I do see a folder structure called 'Gmail->[Google Mail]' that does contain the Drafts and Sent folders that are in synch.

Hi!
I have been struggling for a while now with the following issue.
For starters:
We are using exchange 2010 in combination with outlook 2013 on client computers.
Cause of the limitations concerning the number of mailboxes in outlook im looking for a solution to receive and reply
to multiple aliasses. So i did the following:
1. Configured one shared mailbox.
2. Configured multiple distribution groups
3. made the shared mailbox a member of the distribution groups
4. Configured full access and send as permissions for myself on the shared mailbox ( testing )
5. Gave send as permissions to the shared mailbox in Active directory.
6. Logged in to OWA to setup rules for the shared mailbox.
I now receive emails from all connected distribution groups in the shared mailbox and also in the right folder.
I do however have to select the proper from address when i reply to an email.
the email sent by the main SMTP of the shared mailbox is placed into the sent folder of the shared mailbox.
I setup the senddelagate blabla in register.....
When i sent an email as one of the connected distribution groups it fails to put the sent item in the sent items folder of the shared mailbox. The email is sent using the proper address but placed in the sent folder of my main account.
I want this emails to end up in the sent items folder of the shared mailbox. Or even better, in a sent items folder for each of the addresses.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks in advance!Hi,
As what
Rajkumar says, sending as a shared mailbox(full access permission) will put the email in the sent item of shared mailbox. But it cannot be located in the “sent item” of a distribution group. Because
it is a distribution group instead of a enabled user mailbox.
According to your further description, I understand that the reason why you configure that is some users reached the
limitation about the number of Exchange accounts you can include in the same Outlook profile. Is it rights? If I misunderstand, please point it out.
By default, user can only add 10 Exchange accounts to the same profile. You can customize the limit to the number Exchange accounts in the same profile using the following registry data:
Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\software\policies\Microsoft\exchange
DWORD: MaxNumExchange
Value: integer value starting at 1 (default = 10 if DWORD is missing)

Hope it helps.

Dear all:
I encountered a problem and needs to be solved.
We runs Exchange 2013 CU2, and some users told me that their mails in sent items and inbox were automatically delivered into "deleted items", especially in last two weeks or yesterday.
The users said they cannot delete so many mails at one time. And now I found one user's mails in "deleted items" were also deleted this morning.
I don't know whether it was bug or not in exchange 2013 cu2, and how to solve this problem? Thanks for any help.

Technet MicrosoftHi koiso,
Are there any commons among problematic users or deleted emails? For example,
they are on the same database
they have delegate settings
they are using mobile phone to sync emails
At the same time, I'd recommend you enable Mailbox Audit Log for the problematic users. For your reference:

I had an issue where emails I sent from my laptop were not appearing in the sent folder on my iPad or iPhone. Conversely, mails sent from the apple devices were not showing on my laptop. I also had holes in my sent messages ie months/years missing! They were all present when I viewed via webmail however. Despite various bouts of deleting and re-adding email accounts I could not fix this. I thought (foolishly I now understand) it would be a good idea to consolidate all of my sent messages in a new folder and then move them back into my sent items. Yahoo does not allow you to manually add mails to the sent folder! My apple devices can see the newly created consolidated sent items folder but the mails never download and my laptop can't even see the folder. How can I move my sent mails back to the original sent items folder..? Help! It's driving me mad!
I have the same problem....I have checked settings on my phone and it only seems to be Yahoo sent mail that is not showing in sent folder on my iphone5..... Grrrrrrr Can't find any help on this anywhere

Sent messages aren't saved in the Sent Items folder in Outlook 2013
When we send a message in Outlook 2013, a copy of the message should be saved in the Sent Items folder by default. If Outlook doesn’t save a copy of the sent message, it may be caused by any one of the following
reasons:
The “Save copies of messages in the Sent Items folder”
option in Outlook is disabled.
The save location for sent messages was changed to another folder.
There is a custom view set on Sent Items folder, or the view on
Sent Items is corrupt.
Outlook Data File may be damaged.
To resolve the issue, use the appropriate method for your situation.
Enable the Save copies of messages in the Sent Items folder
option
To configure Outlook 2013 to save copies of your sent messages in the Sent Items folder, please follow these steps:
1. Click File tab > Options.
2. Click Mail on the left pane.
3. Scroll to the Save Messages section, select the check box before “Save copies of messages in the Sent Items folder”.
4. Click OK.
If it is the replying message that is not saving to the Sent Items folder, we need to disable the “When replying to a message that is not in the Inbox, save the reply in the same folder” option in the location mentioned above.
If you’re using an IMAP account, please also make sure you didn’t select the “Do not save copies of sent items” in Account Settings. To check this, Please refer to the following steps:
1. In Outlook, click File tab > Info.
2. Click Account Settings > Account Settings, and then double-click your IMAP account to open the
Change Account wizard.
3. Click More Settings button.
4. Under Sent Items heading, clear the check box before “Do not save copies of sent items”.
5. Click OK and click Next to complete the configuration.
Make sure there is no rule or anything else to redirect sent messages to other folders
To check if it is caused by Outlook rules, please follow these steps:
1. In Outlook 2013, click Home tab.
2. Click Rules > Manage Rules & Alerts.
3. In the rules list, check if there is any rule that applied to the sent messages may cause this issue.
In addition, some rules may be corrupt or hidden and we cannot see them from the rules list. We need to use the MFCMAPI tool to find and delete the corrupt/hidden rules. To do this, we can use the following steps:
1. Download MFCMAPI tool from: http://mfcmapi.codeplex.com/
2. Start MFCMAPI tool.
3. Click Session menu >
Logon, select the Outlook profile you are using and click OK.
4. Double-click the mailbox that contains the inbox rules that you want to delete.
5. A new window will open. In the new window, expand
Root Container or Root – Mailbox, and then expand
Top of Information Store or IPM_SUBTREE.
6. Right click on Inbox and select
Open associated contents table.
7. In the Inbox window, locate and then right-click the items that have the
IPM.Rule.Message message class, and then click Delete Message.
To identify a specific rule, you’ll have to select the rule in the top pane in MFCMAPI and then scroll down in the lower pane and look at the
Property name(s) column. Find the ptagRuleMsgName property name and check the value against the rule name you were trying to delete in Outlook.
8. In the Delete Item dialog, select
DELETE_HARD_DELETE from the Deletion Style drop-down menu.
9. Click OK.
Reset the view settings on Sent Items folder
If you accidently changed the view settings on Sent Items folder, this may cause some sent messages not visible in the folder. To check if you’ve set any view settings on Sent Items folder, please follow:
1. In Outlook, select Sent Items folder.
2. Click View tab from the Ribbon.
3. Click View Settings button. If you notice the
Reset Current View button is clickable, it means the view settings for Sent Items have been changed before.
4. Click the Reset Current View button and then check the Sent Items folder again.
Scan and repair the Outlook Data File
To repair the .pst file, please follow:
1. Find and start the Inbox Repair Tool in the following path:
For Outlook 2013 on a 32-bit version of Windows:
<disk drive>\Program Files\Microsoft Office 15\root\office15
For Outlook 2013 on a 64-bit version of Windows:
<disk drive>\Program Files(x86)\Microsoft Office 15\root\office15
2. In the Inbox Repair tool, click Browse to locate the PST file by using the Windows file system.
3. Click Start.
4. After the analysis scan has completed, it will present you with a scanning report and options for the next step. Click Repair button.
To repair the .ost file, since this type of data file is a copy of information saved on your mail server, we can just delete the OST file and restart Outlook to re-create a new one.
For more information about repair Outlook data files, please refer to this article:
Repair Outlook Data Files (.pst and .ost).

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? -

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. Remember that IMAP4 doesn’t support the synchronization of the Contacts and Calendar folders. '''Thunderbird uses a folder named Sent to store sent items. 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. To do this, follow these steps:

Entourage 2000 - sent emails are not appearing in "sent items" folder
I am using Entourage 200 with POP account. I have the preference for "save copies of sent messages in the Sent Items folder" clicked since I install it a year ago. But a couple of days ago, all my sent emails have vanished. Even new emails I compose and sent out are not appearing in the "sent items" folder. I did hit "option" when openning the program and everything verify ok. Any help would be greatly appreciate.
Since this is the Mail & Address Book - Tiger discussions/forum for Apple's Mail and Address Book applications, you probably won't get much help here with your question.
What is the size of your Entourage database file? Entourage uses a single large database to store all application data and I believe Entourage X has a 4 GB database size limit.
Does hit the option key when launching Entourage perform the database rebuild function? If not, do a search with Entourage help with "rebuild" for instructions.

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.

Problems with icloud folders and sent items
Hey,
I have done an extensive search but cannot find the answer to my query. I have been a long time user of apple’s email service and thus have an @mac.com/@me.com and an @icloud.com email address. Recently icloud has been playing up and is no longer storing my sent emails in the sent email file but is creating a smart “Trash” folder with a “sent Items” folder in that and this is where my sent items are coming up.
This is not only annoying but is also mucking up my ability to sync properly with Postbox
Does anyone know what on earth is going on?
Thank you!If this is a POP account and you’re running Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther), you probably have the problem described here:
Overstuffed mailbox is unexpectedly empty
If you’re just starting to experience the problem, doing what the article suggests might work. If you’ve let the problem to become worse over time, however, it’s almost certainly too late to solve it as described in the article.
Because of the differences between Mail 1.x and Mail 2.x, further discussing your problem here might confuse other users with apparently similar problems using Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger), so please start a new topic in the Mail & Address Book - Mac OS X 10.3 & earlier forum, or just look for other threads discussing the same problem there. This is actually a FAQ in that forum. -
Email sent through Exchange account is garbled in sent items folder
Hi,
I sent several test messages from my iPhone, using the Exchange account at work (I have Active Sync enabled through AT&T) to my personal Gmail account. The mail received on my Gmail account appears jut fine. The copy delivered to my Sent Items folder is fine when viewed from the iPhone, but screwed up when viewed in Entourage. I think the problem is a illegal blank line. To wit, this is what showed up in my Sent Items folder when I sent a short test message:
MAIL FROM: <[email protected]>
RCPT TO: <[email protected]>

In a legally formatted message, the body starts after the first blank line which, in this example, means that all the rest of the normative headers appear as the message. This also means that any MIME attachments show up simply as Base64 encoded text.

Rules not working in Outlook 2010 Sent Items folder (Personal Folder)
I've been trying to automatically categorize and send emails I've written and sent to the archive's Sent Items folder. However, everytime I create a rule for a particular type of email it doesn't carry it out. The rule will only work when I manually
click 'Run this rule now...'.
Here is what my rule looks like:
Apply this rule after the message arrives
from Byron33
and sent to 'XXX'
and with 'YYY' in the subject'
assign it to the 'ZZZ' category
and move it to the Sent Items folder (here, 'Sent Items' is in the Archive section)
But it doesn't work. All my other rules work (for the inbox folder). Any way in which I can get this rule to function automatically?Hi
Thank you for using
Microsoft Office for IT Professionals Forums.
From your description, I understand that the rule will only work when you manually click 'Run this rule now...'. If there is any misunderstanding,
please feel free to let me know.

Sent Items folder is not available
I am using Outlook 2010 and have configured my domains' email address as an account on the Outlook profile. On the left sidebar I see my email address listed as follows:
> [email protected]
Inbox
Deleted Items
Junk E-mail
Sent Items
I have configured my account to keep a copy of sent items. When I compose and email and send it I always get the "Sent Items folder is not available" message which I never got in Outlook 2003.
However, as you can see above the Sent Items folder is listed! When I click on the Inbox node and select IMAP Folders I see that it is NOT subscribed to ANY folder. I press the Query button and select all folders (Inbox, Deleted, Junk, Sent) and press the
Subscribe button. It doesn't produce any error message. I close that dialog and then reopen again to see my subscribed folders list and IT IS EMPTY!!!
So why is it failing to subscribe to the Sent Items folder? This worked seamlessly in previous versions of Outlook, this "improvement" is obviously an anomalous behavior.

Currupted "sent items" folder in Outlook 2007 (on Exchange 2007) causing Outlook to crash.
One user here has a problem when clicking on the "sent items" folder. Outlook hangs for 5 secondes and then crashes. If user logs into OWA, she can
access the "sent items" folder no problem. I thought it was a messege in the folder that was corrupted so I asked the user to move the messages to a temp folder from OWA. She did that, the folder is now empty but Outlook still crashes. Tried cache
mode and uncache.
I tried to delete her sent item folder using MFCMAPI (in the hope the it will recreate a new folder) : right click the folder, selected delete folder, check the
option "hard deletion" and I get
Warning:
Code: MAPI_W_PARTIAL_COMPLETION == 0x00040680
Function lpParentFolder->DeleteFolder(
lpItemEID->cb, (LPENTRYID) lpItemEID->lpb, lpProgress ? (ULONG_PTR)m_hWnd : NULL, lpProgress, ulFlags)
File .\MsgStoreDlg.cpp
Line 991
One more test I did: I copied the sent items folder to a pst, moved the pst to my computer and when I try to open the folder from the PST, my Outlook would freeze
and crash. Isn't interesting?
Am I missing something here? Has someone encounter this problem before? Any other idea on how it could be resolved?
This issue started on Exchange 2003. We are now moving to Exchange 2007. I moved her mailbox to the new server in the hope that any mailbox problem will be filtered
and removed. I still have the issue..
env:
Exchange 2007 running on Win2008
PC:
Windows Vista sp1, outlook 2007 (user was getting same issue under Win2k with Outlook 2003)Couple steps you may apply...
1. Repair the offline file with a Microsoft utility called SCANOST.exe. I’ve seen this file reside in a number of different locations, mainly within Program
Files. It might be best to search for it with Windows or Google Desktop. SCANPST.exe will also work, though you’ll have to go digging for your outlook.ost, which should be near c:\Documents and Settings\ %profile%\ Local Settings\ Application Data\ Microsoft\
Outlook\ outlook.ost. If your file is significant in size, you’ll save a lot of time with the repair operation by not creating a backup. Because if the repair finishes successfully and Outlook still bombs, you’ll need to.
2. Shutdown Outlook completely, including any runaway outlook.exe processes in the task manager. Open Mail in the Control Panel and before you delete your
profile completely, write down the server settings! There’s no need to worry about backing up your mail as it’s stored on the Exchange server. (Essentially, you’re deleting that outlook.ost when you drop your mail profile.) Now, start Outlook and it will create
a new profile, where you’ll configure the server with the information you wrote down previously.

Removing AOL folders in apple mail (saved, sent items, spam, voicemail)
hey,
these folders are really bothersome. when i send something with my aol account, it shows in my sent section and sent mail folder
it'd be great if i could somehow delete these four folders because they are very annoying.
thanks a lot!Ok I solved the problem for the benefit of anybody who might find this post and have a similar problem.
The problem was I used windows mail and later windows live mail for years and they had created a lot of different folders which synced with my imap folders, my host default folders were as follows
drafts
inbox
sent items
spam
trash
other folders which appeared in some of my accounts depending on which mail programs I had used to access them were as follows
deleted items
deleted messages
junk E-mail
Notes
sent
sent messages
1) I deleted my accounts from my mac and other devices such as my iphone in mac mail this is under
Mail menu----preferences-----accounts highlight the acount and press the minus button
2) then I logged into my online mail account for my host, moved items from folders such as "sent" and "sentmessages" to my default "sent items" folder, they had been placed in these odd folders by various email clients and deleted those non default folders
3) I then re set up those accounts in mac mail and highlighted the "sent items" folder in the left hand menu in each case and then went to the
mailbox menu---- use this mailbox for-----sent
4) then finally re synced my iPhone mail accounts, now it all works and my mail accounts are nice and clean
hope this helps someone
