Mail.app sending sent items to the wrong folder on server

In Mail.app, I have the following checked:
"Store sent messages on the server" (which copies messages to "Sent Messages" on the server)
"Store deleted messages on the server" checked (which copies messages to "Deleted Messages" on the server)
But when I use my webmail, it uses "Sent Items" and "Deleted Items" for sent and deleted files.
How do I set Mail.app to use the correct folders?

this is because Mail creates its own Sent and Trash folders on the server by default. they are called "Sent Messages" and "Deleted messages". a webmail server might have different default mailboxes for that. yours apparently uses "Sent Items" and "Deleted Items". You can tell Mail to use the same mailboxes as Webmail does as follows. select "Sent Items' mailbox in the imap section of your email account in the lower part of the sidebar in Mail. then go to Mailbox menu->use this mailbox for->Sent. do the same with "Deleted Items".

    Spotlight lists items and shows preview images.  BUT what about showing the path/location address of an item in my computer.
    Especially important if I've put the item in the wrong folder and what to locate it without multi-steps. iMac OS X 10.5 was more useful.
    Old OSX Spotlight function automatically displayed path/location within the machine:  e.g. desktop/folder/sub-folder/item.
    Can I make Spotlight show the path?

    Press option-command and the path is displayed at the bottom of the little preview window.  Press command-return and the enclosing folder opens. 

  • Refurbished MacBook Pro Mail app sends email responses to the previous owner

    I bought my MacBook Pro refurbished about two years ago, and noticed recently that when I send emails through the Mail app, I don't get the responses. I quickly found out that, when I send emails through Mail, it sends under the email of my MacBook's previous owner, and so when people respond to these emails, they get sent to her.
    I tried looking it up and I can't find anyone who's had a similar problem.
    Also, just to rule out one option, when I go to edit the accounts in Mail, I have the mailbox under my email address. Could it be something with my Apple ID?Has this happened to anyone else?

    I doubt you want just a pig-pile in your inbox.
    Create categories like Taxes, Services, Friendly correspondence, Online Orders, Apple Discussions. Move the emails into the folders and they survive on your Mac.

  • Mail starting to down load into the wrong folder, Why?

    Why did mail start putting mail in the wrong folder ? How can rules change ? can I down load only the Mail app ?

    Have you compacted your In-box lately?
    Do you get an error message?

  • When I send an email with Mail, I often confuse the account which I'm using. The result is that I send a message with the wrong account! Is there a way to avoid this (for example a reminder before the email is sent)?

    When I send an email with Mail, I often confuse the account which I'm using. The result is that I send a message with the wrong account! Is there a way to avoid this (for example a reminder before the email is sent)?

    Hi, thanks for the answer, I did that already. Unfortunatly this doesn't help me at all, as I often forget to check the menu. For me composing the message is writing the text, the subject, the person to who is addressed and than press "send".
    I often forget to check the "from", and this is a problem because the software select itself one of the accounts.
    Isn't there a way at least to put as a default a blank field instead of one of the accounts? or an account which doesn't work so if I forget to specify the "from" I will be rnotofied that the message can't be sent.
    I guess this could be a rather common problem for many people!
    Thanks

  • Mountain Lion Mail.app Sends Email Several Times While Drafting Reply

    Using Mail.app in Mountain Lion and the default configuration of Gmail via IMAP (as configured by Mail.app) when I reply to an existing message, Mail.app sends the partially completed email message several times while I am drafting the message, without me hitting the send button. This does not occur when composing new messages. I have not yet determined what is causing the message to send. My working theory is that it is sending the message each time a draft is saved to the server. Any insight on what is happening (or confirmation that other people are experiencing the same behavior) would be appreciated.

    I have 4 accounts running, 2 POP and 2 IMAP, after doing some checking today with a mac engineer online, it appears that it is incoming mail only affected and only on the POP accounts. I had previously tried recreating the accounts but as from today even just quitting Mail and reopening no longer works... the engineer has had to exculate my call to a specialist who in turn has now had to send it off to a specialist team to work on. When I get results, I will post them in case it helps someone else.

  • Duplicate MIME headers when Mail.app sends email

    Looks like Mail.app is sending two MIME headers:
    Mime-Version: 1.0 (Apple Message framework v928.1)
    Mime-Version: 1.0
    Is there anyway to stop this?
    I think it is what is breaking the DKIM signing for me. (Thunderbird, webmail etc works find sending DKIM signed mails, but Mail.app and my iPhone mangle the signature somehow).
    Thanks,
    James.

    Hi Tom,
    Do you see those long headers when you initially receive the message?
    If you do, then you can change that by going to Mail/Preferences/Viewing and change "Show header detail" to "Default" or "None". You can also customize what is seen in headers.

  • How do i log out off the app store as it has the wrong email and I can't do my updates as i don't know the password

    How do i log out off the app store as it has the wrong email and I can't do my updates as i don't know the password

    Go to Settings > iTunes & App Store, tap on the Apple ID, and choose 'Sign Out'.
    However, logging out of the iTunes & App Store won't change the Apple ID you need to use to update an app.  It only affects what Apple ID you're using to download a new app.
    Apps always have to be updated using the Apple ID that was used to download it originally.  Go to iforgot.apple.com to reset that password.  If you cannot do so, then contact Apple Account Security, or delete the app and redownload it using an Apple ID and Password that you know.

    I'm using a 16GB iPhone 4S, with the latest version of iOS 8.1.1. Whenever I go to the "Cellular" settings on the main settings page and turn OFF cellular data usage for native apps like mail, app store, contacts, photos etc , the moment I back out and come back in, all the native apps I turned cellular off for are back on again. Kindly help me

    Exact same question as ankit1986, specifically with the photos while on cellular-only, and as simple as it sounds, I tried the hard reboot Ingo2711 suggested.  Still experiencing the same error with the native apps reverting to on.  It's killing our shared data-plan (2GB).

  • I can't open my mail app. It appears on the screen and immediately disappears before i can do anything.

    I can't open my mail app. It appears on the screen but disappears immediately. What can I do ?

    Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank power On again in the normal way.] It is absolutely/appsolutely safe!

  • IMAP/Gmail/Mail.app strangeness: what am I doing wrong?

    I have two IMAP accounts on Gmail servers, one through my university and the other being my personal domain with Dreamhost.
    When mail is received on both accounts, it does not always go into the respective inboxes. Rather, it is directed to the respective "All Mail" folders, both in Mail.app and the Gmail web client. Therefore, most new mail does not actually register as new mail, and I receive neither visual indication of new mail from the Dock icon, nor the audio indication of the new mail sound.
    Aside from enabling IMAP access for both accounts, I have made no changes to the default Gmail configurations. I haven't added any folders that could have caused this, and I'm not using any smart folders in Mail.app. I'm using the standard mailbox configurations in Mail.app, with the default Gmail IMAP and SMTP servers and password auth.
    Any ideas? Thanks!

    I am having the exact same problem with my Macbook Pro, all of a sudden the password started rejecting and I cannot use that gmail account.  This appears to be a bug.  The quick fix was to set up another gmail account and forward the mail from the old gmail account to the new gmail account that works with the IMAP service.  This way the mail from the gmail account with the rejected password will still come through and appear in MAIL.

  • Mail.app can't encrypt after the turn of the year

    At the turn of the year the Apple Mail.app (1.3.x) lost the built-in ability to sign and encrypt messages. The built-in verification and decryption works fine, but the both required buttons for signing and encryption are still missing.
    The Certificates of myself, my partners and the CA are valid. My Communication-Partners which use the Mail.app confirmed that problem and the Thunderbird-Users are not affected.
    Any Ideas, Comments or further Confirmations.
