Mail marks my bcc: copies (sent to myself) as junk

Mail marks mail sent to myself as bcc: copies as Junk mail
I always send a copy of outbound email to myself as a bcc: copy. Mail marks these as Junk mail every time no matter what I do. Is there a way to configure a copy to my own mailbox that will not trigger junk mail?

It really has nothing to do with the Email client you are using to send Mail. It does have everything to do with the Recipients Junk/Spam filter they are using. Mac Mail is not flagging your outgoing mail as Junk. No email program does that. It get flagged as Junk by the program the recipient is using.
That is unless you are sending these emails in bulk with many address in the To field. Some email programs see that and think Hey this must be Spam as it is being sent to X number of email addresses at the same time.

Mail with multiple Bcc shows "sent" but was never delivered to anyone. Help?

Any guess at how to fix it or is a reinstall in my future?
Start by looking at the logs for an example. There will be some indication in the logs as to what happened to the message.
Depending on how busy your server is, this might be as simple as tail -f /var/log/mail.log while you send such a message from your mail client.

Cannot e-mail (i.e., To..., Cc..., or Bcc...) myself on my Q10

I am unable to e-mail myself from my Q10, has anyone else encountered this same problem? If so, how did you correct it? I am not on Exchange, this is a personal phone that I use for business purposes (self employed). The e-mail account is an sbcglobal.net extension (i.e., Yahoo!), POP (not IMAP). I have not made any changes to my phone (which I have only had 3 weeks) and no changes have been made to my e-mail account. I just noticed this problem in the past 3-4 days (although it might have been this way all along) because I was trying to work around or self-compensate for the Q10's inability to "Auto Bcc to Sent Folder." The problem is revealed to the left side of each e-mail I attempt to send to myself with a red dot containing a white dash in the center.

I assume this problem is on a webmail site (e.g., Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo) and not in an email client such as Thunderbird.
If what you are looking for usually popped up in a separate window, you might try disabling Firefox's pop-up blocker here:

If you restored previous settings or add-ons, you may want to try Firefox's Safe Mode, a standard diagnostic tool to bypass interference by extensions (and some custom settings). More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using

Any difference?

Why is Sent Mail marked Unread?

On my computer, when I send mail it goes into my "Sent Mail" mailbox and is marked as "read." That's the way it seems to me things should be.
However, on my husband's computer (both of us are using 10.4.4), the mail goes into the Sent Mail box and is marked "unread", which is problematic. Is there a fix for this?
Thanks for any help you can offer!

It sounds like you need to setup your account in your browser correctly and then delete Gmail in Mail and add it back with the new settings. See directions here. Most users have multiple Sent folders in Settings > Labels. Until you clean up online, it's difficult to get Gmail working in Mavericks Mail.

You can continue to use them as Apple ID's, change the rescue address (as you know)
You can use your iCloud address, but it won't be an alias, it's a full email address.

Has anyone solved the "all mail marked as junk" problem?

Mail marks almost all incoming mail and all sent mail as junk. I've found some inconclusive posts on this but no solution. Can anyone explain (or, better) fix this problem?

Hi
have you read this thread? http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=292113&tstart=100
esp about disabling junk filter & quitting mail.
You're using junk filter in automatic mode?
anyhow - blank field spam does seem to figure in breaking mail's junk filtering. Are you able to create a rule using the applescript linked to in my previous post?. If so - create one & put it at the top of the rule list to weed out any blank subject mail.
Still a problem?
quit & restart mail - make sure junk filtering is enabled
delete/empty the junk folder.
Find the mail in your inbox that's marked as junk & move it to the junk folder ( select them all & drag , or messages-move from the menu )
In the junk box, pick one of the moved messages & click 'not junk' - does it get moved back to the inbox? is it still marked as junk (assuming it did move back...)
If clicking 'not junk' isn't behaving - select all the messages & move/drag them back to the inbox. Are they still marked as junk? (hopefully not)
Repeat above with the 'sent' mailbox.
Disable junk filtering in mail prefs
quit mail & open it again
re-enable junk filtering
Any better?.....
If you're still having problems - make a note of all your rules ( you 'might' have to re-enter them)
Quit mail
find the folder ~/library/Mail & drag a copy of the folder to the desktop (mouse + Alt) . Locate the file com.apple.mail.plist in ~/library/preferences/ & drag a copy of that to the desktop too.
These copies enable you to restore your mail to exactly as it is now - in case anything went wrong in the next stage. NOT that I expect it to, having tried all these things on my own mail installation......
Make sure mail is not running.
go into the original ~/library/Mail/ folder & trash these two files - LSMMap2 and MessageRules.plist
start Mail , go to prefs & make sure that junk filter is enabled for your account(s)
Send a message & see if it's marked as junk.
If you had a lot of rules & don't want to re-enter them manually - you can try quitting mail, replacing the MessageRules.plist file in the real Mail folder with the one from the copy made earlier & re-starting Mail.
If sent/junk is fixed - remember it may break again with a blank field email.
Sorry to write so much - but remember, I don't have the problem- so I can't test to see exactly what might fix it & just tell you the good bits.

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.

Is there any way to have Mail automatically use our default "Sent" folder?

We are a small college, with a fair number of users who use Macs and iOS devices, and we run an IMAP mail server. By default, our accounts are configured with Sent, Trash, Drafts, and Junk folders. Apple's Mail.app insists on "Sent Messages" and "Deleted Messages" rather than "Sent" and "Trash".
We instruct our users to use the menu command Mailbox > Use This Mailbox For > commands to select our server's folders on their desktops, and on iOS to use the Settings > Mail > Account > Advanced, but this is tedious and annoying. Most users get it about half right, so that some devices use our default "Sent", and some use "Sent Messages". (This happens with Trash as well, but most users are not concerned if their Trash differs device to device.)
Is there any server setting that can hint to Mail.app that it should use "Sent" rather than "Sent Messages"?
Apple has a support document about this issue, "Mountain Lion Mail: If messages aren't stored where expected on the server" ( http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11810 ).
However, that doc (and the similar one for Snow Leopard) merely says, "When Mail stores messages on the server, it looks for specific mailboxes, by name, in which to put the messages. If Mail doesn’t find those mailboxes on the server, it tries to create them on the server or, failing that, on your Mac."
The document does not specify what the "specific mailboxes" are, and certainly does not suggest that there is any way to have it cooperate better with our server, but perhaps there is a way?
(If I was trying to be a good IMAP client, I might look for any of "Sent", "Sent Messages", or "Sent Items", and use what I found before going to the next step of creating my own folder. Hard to imagine that any IMAP account would be initially configured without some "Sent" folder, so why not try to discover what the user has before pig-headly making your own.)

Unfortunately, I have not found a consise way to explain this to the general user, just a huge wall of text to work around something that Apple got wrong the first time they created an IMAP client, and has stubbornly persited with. Here's our documentation for this silly problem:
Special Folders on IMAP
The basic idea is that all IMAP mail programs keep all your mail on our server, so that, e.g. when you read or reply to a message, all of your devices can then show that message as read and replied to.
By convention, each IMAP program treats a few folders on the server as "Special", such as a "Trash" folder, that deleted messages get moved to, and a "Sent" folder, where each message you send gets copied. When they all pick the same special folders, all of your devices will show the same view of your mail. However, if different devices use different server folders for their "special" Sent folder, then the mail from these two devices will wind up in two different places, and be harder to find.
Unfortunately, Apple's Mail programs are particularly obscure and obtuse in the way they treat these folders: They show their special Sent and Trash folders on screen with the obvious names "Sent" and "Trash", but secretly, under the covers, they insist on using folders named, "Sent Messages" and "Deleted Messages" instead. Even if the server already has perfectly usable "Sent" and "Trash" folders, Apple clients will ignore them and create their own special case "special" folders.
If you only ever use Apple devices to look at your IMAP mail, you might never even notice their deception. But, if you sometimes use another mail client, such as webmail, you will encounter the confusing truth: When we created your account for the very first time, we add a "Sent" folder (actually named "Sent") and a Trash folder, named "Trash", and this is what everything except Apple's mail will use by default, because those folders are already their the first time the client connects to your account. However, even though Apple shows your special sent folder at the top of the list, with a paper-airplane icon, and labels it "Sent", in fact they ignore the existing "Sent" folder and make and use their own "Sent Messages."
SO, if you send some mail from webmail, it will be in your actual "Sent" folder, whereas if you send it from an Apple mail program, it will be put into your "Sent Messages" folder. If you look into either "Sent" special folder, you'll only find part of your previously sent mail.
Similarly for Trash, though most users find it more problematic to have two different Sent collections than to have multiple trash buckets.
To unify things, you can either set your non-Apple mail programs to use "Sent Messages" and "Deleted Items"; OR, you can set all of your Apple devices to use "Sent" and "Trash". Doesn't really matter which way you go, though if a majority of your devices are doing it a particular way, you should change the non-matching devices to agree with the majority.
(All clear so far? Why did Apple make this so hard? It would have been utterly simple for them to check for an existing "Sent" folder, and to use one if there is one, rather than to always stubbornly create and use a new "Sent Messages" folder. Then, they add to the problem by pretending that their new "Sent Messages" folder is really just named "Sent". Stupidity all the way down.)
Anyways, to find out what the majority of your devices are doing, check them each to see which of the "sent" folders shows up in the "normal" list of folders rather than in the "special" location, that is, what folder name is in the list at the bottom of the folder area, rather than up at the special "Sent" icon, (because the special one will always be labeled "Sent", not matter what the actual folder name is).
For example, say that on all-but-one of your mail setups, you see a "Sent Messages" folder down in the normal list, and on the other device, you see "Sent" down in the normal list.
In that case, you'd want to set the "different" device to make the folder named "Sent" be the special one, instead of the "Sent Messages" that it was currently using.
Conversely, if all but one showed "Sent" down in the regular folder area, and only one showed "Sent Messages", then you'd want to make "Sent Messages" the special folder on the odd device.
Once you have decided, see the specific sections below for the procedure to set the "special" folders for Apple's Mail.app on a Mac, Apple's Mail on an iPhone/Pad/Pod, or for RoundCube webmail, or for Thunderbird.
Once you have every device using the same sent folder, then you can move any messages from the "extra" version of the folder into your special folder, and then you can delete the extra folder. (If you delete this extra folder and it later re-appears, then it means one of your mail programs is still using it as its "special" folder, and recreating it.)
Similarly for Trash, though probably you could delete the extra trash folder without moving the files, because they are trash.
Here are the details for changing the Special Mail Folders on the systems we use:
A) iPhone, iPad, iPod:
As a first step, use Settings > Mail to set your device to read your email account, then open the Mail program so that it will read the list of all of your folders from the mail server. After that, go back to Settings > Mail to make sure it is using the desired special mailboxes on the server.
Select your IMAP account in the settings tool, and then press the button for "Advanced" settings, and find the list of special mailboxes, e.g. Sent, Trash, Drafts. For each, scroll through the list of folders on the server to choose the folder you wish to use for that function.
Note: iPhones/Pads/Pods also can be set to keep sent mail locally on the device. This is a spectacularly stupid choice for normal IMAP, as none of your other devices will be able to see the messages you send from your phone.
B) Mail.app on Mac desktops and laptops:
Set up mail so that it reads your messages and folders from the mail server.
Select the "Sent" folder that you wish to use in the list of folders at the lower left of the mail window. (On newer Macs, the folders may be hidden by default. Use the "View > Show Folder List" menu command to display them if necessary.)
Use the menu command "Mailbox > Use This Mailbox For > Sent" to specify that the selected mail box is the special folder for sent mail, and similarly for your Trash, Junk, or Drafts folders.
C) RoundCube Webmail (with the standard skin):
Login to your webmail site , and select the "Settings" icon in the upper right of the window, which has a "Gear" icon. This will display a "Settings" panel with buttons for "Preferences", "Folders", and "Identities" settings. When you first open the Settings panel, the "Section" panel shows a row of buttons for different Preferences.
Click "Special Folders" in the "Section" list to open a list of "Drafts", "Sent", "Junk", and "Trash". Each special folder is followed by a menu of all your server folders. Select the server folder to use for each special folder.
D): Thunderbird:
After you have set up your connection to your IMAP account, click "Get Mail" to fetch your existing mail and list of folders on the server.
Next, select the menu command "Options > Account Settings…" (Note that on current versions of Thunderbird, the default menu drops down from an icon of three horizontal bars, in the upper right corner of the mail window. You can use the Options command in this menu to display a menu bar at the top of the Thunderbird window if you wish. With the full menu, the menu command to access the special folders settings is "Tools > Account Settings…"
Select "Copies and Folders" in the list at the left of the Account Settings window. This panel has a section for Sent mail, Archives, Drafts, and Templates. Select "Junk Settings" in the list at left to specify the location of the Junk special folder.
For each special folder, the default choice is the the folder on the server with the "typical" name, e.g. "Sent" for sent, and "Trash" for trash. To use a different name, select the "Other:" option for the folder, and then choose the desired folder from the list of folders on the server.
Oof! That's a lot of explaining for a issue that Apple should have gotten right in the first place, or at least should have fixed in their next several tries. It would not break any existing functionality if they merely used whatever folder the server had created, and only made their own if there was none.

How can I create a filter that automatically copies sent items to other folder than "sent" folder?

I tried to create filter which automatically copies sent to different recipients messages to other folder than "sent". I tried many times with different setting but it doesn't work. With inbox messages it works fine.
Thank you

If you want to 'reply' to an email, but you want the sent reply to auto appear in the same folder of the message you are replying to.
Tools > Account Settings > Copies & folders for the mail account
There is a checkbox to select: 'Place replies on the folder of the message being replied to'
then click on OK to save changes.
If you want all sent emails not just replies to got to different fodlers based on who you sent the email to, then you would need to create a filter which when manually run moves selected emails to specific folders.
So let the sent emails get auto stored in Sent folder.
Tools > Message Filter
click on New
give filter suitable name
Apply filter when: manually run
select 'match all of the following'
To is email address
Perform these actions
Move message to and select the folder.
Do not enable.
When you need to run this filter,
open Message filter.
enable only the filters you require
Run selected filters on: Sent folder on the mail account
click on 'run now'
Best used when you have several sent emails which you need moving.
Not exactly what you are looking for, but works if organising loads of sent emails.

The e-mail message could not be sent. Make sure the outgoing e-mail settings for the server are configured correctly

I have a 2 server SharePoint farm.
All outgoing emails were working fine.
I just restarted both servers and now after that none of the emails are being sent. I am using OOB publishing workflow and it shows message:
The e-mail message could not be sent. Make sure the outgoing e-mail settings for the server are configured correctly.
Even if I setup Alert on some list, it doesn't send email.
I have checked that outgoing email setting in CA is defined and like I said it was working fine without problems but after restart it is showing error.
What could be the cause of this and how to fix it?
EDIT
I removed outgoing mail server in CA, added again and restart IIS but still emails from OOB workflow is not being sent. But email from Alerts are being sent. Don't know what to do now.

This is really weird, It works when an alert is set but workflows doesn't send emails... Can you create a simple 1 Step workflow in SPD to send an email when a specific field is set. See if this sends an email..
AJ MCTS: SP 2010 Configuration MCSA: Windows 7 If you find this post useful kindly please mark it as an answer :) TY
I created a test workflow which sends email to user and it is also not sending email. But I am getting email from SharePoint regarding "variation" page changes as well as alerts which I told above.

Sent mail occasionally not stored in sent folder

Hi,
we encountered weird problem with OS X server behaviour where user sent email via smtp server and it is not stored in his/her mailbox.
This issue is happening time to time I would say almost randomly.
Do you have any idea why this is happening and where is the sent mail?

I have a few users reporting the same problem. It is inconsistent and I have not found a way to reproduce it at will.
Our users have been BCC them selves so they have a copy to move to sent it if is not there.
They have also reported mail being copied to the Send and Drafts folders when they send it.
When they login from a different mail client the folders are the same. So I am assuming the problem is server side? Or at least the result is.
Is it the clients job to ask the server to move the mail from outbox to the sent folder?
I think this is where the problem is occurring.
We were looking at it this morning and moving mail around from Drafts to Trash and Sent. Mostly it moved around fine but there was one instance where we moved mail from Drafts to Trash.
We then quit and opened mail again (we waited until the activity window was empty)
The mail we moved to Trash was gone. But a new mail was in Drafts that had been sent earlier that morning. A copy was still in the Sent folder.
We could not reproduce this.
We also have roundcube but it is the mail.app clients that notice the problems. They are the majority so it is to be expected.
Clients OS X 10.10.2, mail.app 8.2
Server 4.0.3, OS X 10.10.2, Roundcube 1.0.3 (Topicdesk Roundcube Installer 1.0.3a)

Mail not saving sent messages, not moving Junk messages

Hi everyone, I'm having a bit of trouble with OS Mail. I've set it up to use an IMAP account, and have set my preferences such that Mail should save all my sent messages in the Sent folder (I assume the Sent folder on my computer, not the one on my IMAP server). Regardless, neither my IMAP server's sent folder nor my computer's sent folder contain any messages that I've sent, and I have confirmed that these messages have in fact been received by the recipients (therefore successfully sent). I am unsure of how to resolve this issue, as there is no obvious setting change for me to persue. I just received this computer (new) a few days ago, so I wouldn't expect this problem to be due to disk maintenance/management, etc.
Also, I have noticed that Junk messages remain highlighted and in my inbox. I changed my prefs to have these messages be placed in my Junk Mail folder. Mail asked me whether I wanted to apply that preference to older messages marked as junk that have yet to be put in the folder; I indicated yes. Nothing happened, and the Junk Mail folder remained empty (until I manually moved the messages to it). Any ideas?
I have searched the forums for related issues and could only find problems that had an associated error message with it; my issue is different in that there are no error messages; Mail is simply ignoring my preferences. Thanks in advance,
Vic

In OS X Mail, this sent folder appears as a subdirectory
(sub "mailbox"?) under my "Inbox" mailbox along with
other folders that are mapped on my IMAP account.
This means you haven't set up your account properly. You probably should set Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > IMAP Path Prefix to INBOX, or something like that.
After putting the right string in the IMAP Path Prefix field, either the IMAP folders will appear somewhere else in Mail (i.e. not as subfolders of Inbox), or your problem will have already been fixed. Let me know what happens.
I should probably mention (just realized) that in my
account settings, my outgoing SMTP server is set to
be my ISP's server (which is different from my IMAP
provider).
I wonder if, by selecting "save messages on server"
I am saving these messages somewhere on my ISP?
Mail should still save the sent messages where you've told it to. It's Mail, not the SMTP server, that stores the sent messages. The SMTP server has no bearing on this, but it was a good idea to consider that possibility, nevertheless.
When I uncheck this option, perhaps my mail will
be stored on my local computer instead?
Yes, that's what would happen, but don't uncheck that option if you really want your sent messages to be stored on the IMAP server, or do it temporarily, so that Mail does at least save them somewhere until we fix the problem, but I believe I already know what the problem is.

BCC emails sent as CC emails

When i send emails as Bcc copies, often when i look in my sent folder they have been sent as Cc copies..it happens irregularly...but often enough ....is there a fix....or what am i doing wrong....i thought it was me until the last email i sent and i meticulously ticked the Bcc boxes...but...the addresses were all Cc
Its impossibly to guarantee integrity for email addresses

''Don't just look in your copy of the sent message since that's an exception, it's supposed to show all of the headers. The most reliable way to test this is to send a message where you BCC your email address and the email address of another account, and then use webmail to read the message in the other account. ''

Mail marks all messages as important?

Can I change this. Thanks.

Exactly. If a couple has both (all) of their email accounts configured on a Mac running Mavericks, so that they can both check their email on that Mac…..
Mavericks Mail will mark ALL copies of an email as read in ALL email accounts configured on that Mac, regardless of which account “reads” the email. Worse yet, it does matter what email server(s) host those accounts. If those email accounts are on an iMAP email server, the messages will appear as read on all other devices configured with any of those accounts — i.e. the email will appear as read on any other Mac, iPad, iPhone, PC….
And as you noted, marking the email as unread only effects that one account. In other words, Mail marks the message as read in all accounts configured on a Mac when you read it in any account. But subsequently marking it as unread in that account, does NOT mark it as unread in any other account.
So a considerate spouse should check the email header of every email they read, to see if the address list contains their spouses email account(s) and go to that account to mark it as unread. Or they can sleep on the couch that night — their choice:(
Note: Mail in iOS 7 on the iPhone/iPad does NOT work this way. It only marks the email as read in the account where it was actually read.
BTW This is just one of many inconsistencies in how Apple’s basic applications (e.g. Mail, Calendars, Contacts, etc.) function in Mavericks - Mac vs iOS7 - iPhone vs iOS7 - iPad. And most of these inconsistencies can not be easy explained away based on screen size or mouse/keyboard vs touch interface. You really have to wonder whether these Apple software development teams ever really talk to one another.

Why does Mail mark all my outgoing messages as "junk?"

I recently upgraded from OS 10.4.4 to 10.5.5 on both my iMac and PowerBook & now Mail marks all my outgoing messages as "Junk."
I reset my junk mail preferences--and manually marked all my outgoing messages as "Not Junk Mail"--but nothing changed.
Is anyone else having the same problem?
Can anyone offer a solution?
Does anyone else think it's strange that this is even possible? Shouldn't administrators' messages always be marked "Not Junk Mail" by default?
Help!!!
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.5)

I recently upgraded from OS 10.4.4 to 10.5.5
Mac OS X 10.5.5? Wow! I thought it would be 1 year or so until Mac OS X 10.5 ships and you've already installed its .5 revision! What kind of Developer Program are you a member of?
Sorry, couldn't resist!
Now, seriously, you're certainly not alone. I've seen quite a few threads about this very same issue here. Just search for "junk" and "sent" in this forum:

Mail marks my bcc: copies (sent to myself) as junk
