Mail did not download my sent mail from Gmail.

Reposting this question in case I originally put it in the wrong category:
Had a bit of trouble initially but eventually got my Mail account set up with my existing Gmail account and it nicely downloaded all my past incoming mail which is all in the In Box. However, I can't find my old outgoing mail. The only things I see when I click Sent are the messages sent since I started using Mail. Is there somewhere else I should be looking for them? If not, how do I go about importing them to my new computer now?
The old outgoing messages are still on my old computer, but that email client is old Eudora— is there a way to import them from the old machine to the new and make them readable with Mail?

Thank you for responding.
>Can you visit the Gmail site and see if you can download them from there?
Can you explain how would I go about doing that?
As for JustAnswer, they wanted $58 to answer my question which is money I simply don't have.
I saw the discussion you linked. He said "I figured out the solution to this problem. I simply deactivated the email and reactivated it. I guess after the updated to moutain lion that's all I needed to do."
"Deactivated the email and reactivated" — do you understand what he means?
I have done a Google search for this topic but no one seems to have this exact problem, and I've put a question up on the Google Gmail help forum with no response yet.
Do you know how I might go about just undoing the connection I've made between Mail and Gmail so I could just start fresh and hope for a better outcome the second time?

Sent mail does not appear in sent mail folder

Hi. Odd problem. I have done a search for this but can't find an answer.
I have an IMAP account with PIPEX and mail will not display the sent messages.
Mail has 3 folders - Inbox, Sent, Trash.
IMAP account has 2 folders - INBOX and a sub folder sent-mail.
Inbox/INBOX syncs fine.
Nothing appears at all in Sent.
Sent messages sync ok, as (using finder) they appear in my library at myusername/library/mail/IMAP-(mylogin)/INBOX/sent-mail.imapmbox/Messages
For info, the inbox messages are stored at myusername/library/mail/IMAP-(mylogin)/INBOX.imapmbox/Messages.
For info again I have store sent messages on server selected in preferences (because I need to see them from another computer)
I have tried 'rebuild' several times on the inbox & the rebuild option is greyed out on the sent folder.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

Hi Stringbag.
This account requires INBOX to be put in Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > IMAP Path Prefix for Mail to handle it properly. Mailboxes on the server should not appear as subfolders of the account’s Inbox in Mail.
After having done that, Mail should be able to properly save sent messages on the server, but maybe in a mailbox different from where you want them to be stored. To fix that, select the desired folder in Mail, and do Mailbox > Use This Mailbox For > Sent.

Is there a way to upload those photographs to ITUNES and have them stored on my computer. Or if I synch, will all those photos vaporize because they are not on my computer.

How may I configure Apple's Mail to not download old e-mails from my Hotmail account?

When I connect my Hotmail account to Apple's Mail application, it starts to download all of my read e-mails and marks them as unread. How may I configure Mail so it downloads only new e-mails just like it works in iOS?

Mail/Preferences/Accounts/Advanced check below for POP and the second screen shot for IMAP.
There also might be a setting in Hotmail if you access via a browser.

Yahoo mail is not downloading to iPhone Mail

My yahoo mail is no longer downloading the the iPhone Mail area. It looks like it's trying to download, but flashes and goes away. New Mail is not received. I've tried removing yahoo mail (multiple times), rebooting iphone. Everything that I know of with no luck.
I'm on version 4.3.5 (8L1)

Same thing here. in hangs in the inbox, says "Load More Messages" but refuses to push them through. I called Apple for two hours over the weekend, no help. I have the issue on an IPAD 2, IPHONE 3G, and IPOD 4G, same email refuses to download inbox messages. I also emailed yahoo several times to their mobile support, computer support, server support, and keep getting the same idiotic pre-composed email with "settings" instructions. The bastards won't even read the emails. I also read about deleting all your folders and trying it afterwards, same crap. No luck. I have Hard reset all three devices, restored, all three, clean re-installed all three delted accounts repeatedly no LUCK! Someone help apple doesn't and neither does yahoo!

Mail not downloading all e-mails from hotmail

Hi,
I have a MacBook pro 15inch running latest updates on OSx lion. I am having a real problem with mail application and my hotmail account. I have setup the hotmail account in mail and it downloads any new mails I receive but it does not sync any of the sent mails.
I also have an iPad which I use to send and receive emails and every time I reply someone using the iPad, there is no record of it on my mac if I replied to that person or not. Whereas if I reply to anyone using the mac, iPad shows all sent mails in sent folder.
Another problem I had (which is not currently main issue) is that occasionally it asked to put your password in for iCloud and hotmail account even if i check save to keychain.
Is there any way I can get my mac to sync all folders from my hotmail to mac? iPad does it with no problem..
Thanks in advance:)

I'm having the same issue and have tried deleting the account and adding again but I only have emails that came in yesterday after Mavericks installed. My thousands of emails from the server did not load. They are everywhere else but on the updated Mavericks computer.

How to download the "Sent Mail" folder from Gmail to Mail 4.1?

Since updating to Snow Leopard I no longer have any mail in my Sent Mail folder
when using IMAP in Mail 4.1. In fact just a few (258) of all my sent messages (3732)
were properly downloaded.
I noticed that after configuring my Gmail to work with Mail/IMAP some new folders were
created. They are: [Gmail]/Sent Mail/Sent, [Imap]/Drafts, Sent messages, and Deleted Messages. Apart
from those, my Gmail account has always had standard folders such as Inbox, Sent Mail (the majority of my sent messages are in here), Drafts, Spam, and Trash. Apparently Mail is only downloading the messages from the new "Sent messages" folder and not the standard "Sent Mail", wherein all my sent messages actually are.
Another issue it that the spinning gear next to the Gmail Inbox in Mail 4.1 keeps spinning incessantly as if checking for new messages all the time even though it is set to check for new messages every 5 minutes and all messages has been downloaded. I have another IMAP account for my university's email which is working perfectly (neither problems with Sent Mail folder nor spinning gear). I will post the spinning gear problem in a separate question.
In my old MacBook I didn't have this problem when using Gmail with POP. This is the first time I'm using IMAP.
Is anybody having the same problems?
I appreciate your help in advance.

you can change Your Sent mailbox to "Sent Mail". select Sent Mail mailbox, go to mailbox menu->use this mailbox for->sent.

Mail is not downloading e-mails from the server

Mail is not downloading e-mail from the yahoo server. However, I am able to send e-mails out

My problem with mail concerns gmail and not Yahoo. But about once a day I see an email come in on my iPhone or iPad and then I wait for it to come in on my MBP, running Mavericks 10.9.2 with all the updates current. It never does come in. I find that by exiting from Mail and then in a few seconds opening it again that the missing mail will come in. Also, I found that by taking the gmail server off line and then right back on line that the missing email will come it.
I like to reply to my email from the MBP so that I have a record of the sent files. Sending from the IOS devices doesn't let the MBP know about the sent file.
This never happens under IOS 7.1 on my iPhone and iPad. So I suspect it is a problem with Mavericks.
I'm sure I'm not the only one having problems with this. Is this a problem with Mavericks or with gmail?

Mail is not downloading messages from two accounts but the messages are in the server.

Hello, I'm having this problem. Mail is not downloading messages from two accounts. I don't know why but there're two accounts working so bad. If I click with the right button on the account and click to see the account details, I can see the messages on the server but not in inbox. I made a sync with this account and my iphone and then the iphone downlad the messages with out problems. Not my imac at work or my imac at home... what can be wrong?
Thanks.

For Gmail, this is normal, there is nothing you can do about it -- just type Mail AND Gmail in the search box to see threads discussing how Gmail works.
As for the other accounts, this shouldn't happen. I wonder if what you're seeing is just that Mail is ignoring this setting for mail that was already on the server when you started using it. I've seen something like this happen when playing with that setting, e.g. changing it from "After one day" to "After one week". Mail would just ignore messages that fell in the timeframe where the two settings could interfere and I didn't notice it until some time later, when Mail "forgot" those messages had already been downloaded and, being faced with them again, dutifully downloaded them as if they were all new.
I believe that, if you leave the setting however you wish and stop playing with it, then Mail shall correctly process any mail that arrives from now on. In order to manually delete old messages that Mail seems to be ignoring, you can invoke the Account Info window (this is probably what you meant when you said "I can delete messages individually"; if that's not the case and want more info on this, just ask).

Sent mails staying in sending and not going to sent mails

Hi everybody,
I have the following problem: Sent mails are staying in sending with 100% sent (showing activity, command+0) and not going to sent mails when they are actually sent and arrived to the recipient.
What can I do? Maybe reinstall it? Is there any other solution that might work?
Thanks, enjoy your day,
Cédric

Hello again,
In the screenshot you emailed me, there are files leftover from when this mailbox was used in Jaguar (10.2) or earlier, and also files leftover from when it was used in Panther (10.3.x) and Mail 1.3.x. Specifically all files except the folder Messages (and its contents) are no longer used by Mail -- you can check by using Get Info in them and you will see the dates last modified to all be prior to your upgrade to Tiger. How long ago did you upgrade? Did you find that all mailboxes appeared to have the messages in them that you knew were previously there (at the time of upgrade)? If so, quit Mail and in the Finder remove all files in the Sent Messages.mbox folder except the Messages folder. Then relaunch Mail and immediately use Rebuild.
However, if your Inbox and other mailbox have similar leftover files there might be some impact from that. Check the other mailboxes and let us know. See:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301315
If other xxxx.mbox folders have the Info.plist file, then leave it, and do not delete. If you upgraded recently, and you think messages that you saw immediately after upgrade were not all-inclusive, then post back. However, with this Sent Messages.mbox folder the Messages folder size exceeds the size of the mbox file (where message content was once stored) so it gives the appearance of a good, full, conversion.
If you remove the Leftover files from other mailboxes, I would suggest using Rebuild on each of them, although if they seem fine, otherwise it may not be needed. There is another procedure to force reindexing of all mailboxes (Rebuild freshens the Envelope Index with respect to only the one mailbox) if needed.

Sent mail does not appear in sent mailbox after sending

Sent mail does not appear in sent mailbox after sending

From reports on this site, Yahoo mail doesn't work reliably with Mail. The following steps may help.
Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope Index
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
A Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have names that begin with "Envelope Index". Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is corrupt and that Mail has to quit. Click OK.
Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the file you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

I have been successfully sending out e-mails to all people listed in a Group Address but yesterday only some of the people received their mail. Today I split the list, 25 in each Group Address, again, the same people did not receive their e-mail. Why?

I have been successfully sending out e-mails each month to about 50 people whose addresses are listed under a Group Name. Yesterday about half of the e-mails were received, the other half weren't. So I tried splitting the group into 2 separate Groups, again the list who didn't receive the first mailing again did not receive the second mailing. There does not seem to be anything that connects the recipients or non-recipients. They have a mix of providers, it was not just the first half of list that was affected, it appears to be totally random. Any suggestions?

Neither of these error message look like they're from Exchange.
Connected to 68.232.130.28 but connection died. (#4.4.2)
I'm not going to try again; this message has been in the queue too long.
Sorry, I wasn't able to establish an SMTP connection. (#4.4.1)
I'm not going to try again; this message has been in the queue to long.
Are those from NDRs someone in your organization received, or are they from NDRs received by a sender outside your organization?
Is 68.232.130.28 your IP address? The IP address resolves to the name esa2.firstam.iphmx.com. Is that a MX for the recipient's domain?
