Mail not saving IAMP preferences for Gmail

Dear All,
I'm using iMail to access my Gmail account through IMAP. The settings should be very particular to get IMAP to function transparently. When I set those settings in iMail preference it is working until ... the next time I launch iMail ... as those settings appear discarded and re-defaulted to wrong ones.
Can you help me fix that issue? Thanks.
Regards.
Pierre

  • Acrobat Standard Ver. 7 Not saving Default preferences.

    Seeking help on why Acrobat Standard Ver. 7 Not saving Default preferences.  Specifically, the zoom level. It always reverts back to something other than the 100% I set it at. The operating systerm is Windows 7, Pro if that helps.

    As I recall, you are the first person who has reported even getting AA7 to work in Win7. Any operations with that combination are likely to work with luck. I assume you mean the preferences set under the edit menu. You might try changing AA7 to run in compatibility mode and see if that does the job.

  • Yosemite Mail mail not saving preferences

    OS X 10.10, Mail 8.0
    I have several mail accounts set up, a mix of POP and IMAP
    One IMAP account does not use secure authentication.
    If I set the preferences for the account under the Advanced tab, and tick 'Allow insecure authentication', then save preferences, I can send mail to the account.
    However if I return to Mail after 5 minutes or so the preference has changed back to disallow insecure authentication, and that mail account no loner works. I get a message:
    "Mail cannot send your password securely to the server. You can remove this restriction in the Accounts preferences by setting “Allow insecure authentication”, which could put your password at risk."
    I have a POP account for a different email address with the same provider, and the preference to allow insecure authentication is saved.
    I have tried deleting the account and setting it ip again, but the IMAP presence to use insecure authentication is still not saved.

    I have this issue as well.  This includes the inability of font preferences to stick, and the toolbar changes to be retained.

  • Send mail not saved

    I work with a couple of (imap) mail accounts. Receiving and sending mail is ok but the mail I send through those imap accounts is not saved in the directory sent items. Only the mail send by my apple account is saved.
    I don't how to fix this problem? (I've tried deleting the accounts and make new accounts).
    Neither Apple support or my ISP did not have a solution.

    I guess I figured it out. My settings were saving sent email to server (I was really convinced this was the right setting). By changing this setting my sent mail is saved in the sent directory.
    Thnx for setting my on the right track
    What are your Preferences > Accounts > Mailbox
    Behaviors > Sent settings?
    In the Finder, go to
    ~/Library/Mail/IMAP-username@mailserver/
    . With that folder open, do Edit > Select All
    (⌘A), then Edit > Copy (⌘C), and paste it
    in your reply to this post to let me see the names of
    the files and folders it contains -- you may disguise
    any mailbox names you wish to keep private.
    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.

  • 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.

  • Mail not saving IMAP drafts or outgoing messages

    I've searched the HELP topics and have not seen how to solve this problem. I have multiple accounts set up in Mail; a couple are yahoo.com/sbcglobal.net accounts and a couple are through two different companies for which I work. Most of them are set up as POP accounts, and they are behaving properly. The problem is with the one that is set up as an IMAP account. It successfully sends and receives mail, but it will not save drafts or the outgoing mail. I realize I can blind-copy myself and have the messages saved as incoming, but I'd really like them saved as drafts and outgoing. Thanks for any advice!

    Hi Dantedelg,
    If you are having an issue with your MacBook Air's Mail application not saving the Sent mail, you may want to check your Mail Preferences under Accounts > your account > Mailbox Behaviors > Sent. What is the setting for Delete sent messages when: set to? You may wish to change this setting. See this article -

  • Mail not saving sent messages

    I've noticed that Mail is not saving my sent messages. I started to notice this yesterday. It's very erratic though. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. I have the option selected in preferences to Store Sent Messages on the Server (my .mac account).
    Any idea what is going on? I even checked my .mac Sent Mesages folder using WebMail and they're not there either.

    You're welcome.
    With a .Mac or IMAP type account, you can save Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk messages on the server instead of locally on the hard drive.
    Messages in a .Mac or IMAP type account's Inbox mailbox remain on the server until deleted from the account's Inbox mailbox or moved from the Inbox mailbox to a user created "On My Mac" mailbox or deleted from the server using webmail access.
    You can also create additional mailboxes that will be stored on the server.
    Messages in the account's Inbox mailbox and in any other mailboxes stored on the server are synchronized with the Mail.app and with other email clients.
    With POP type accounts, received/incoming messages are downloaded by the Mail.app and by other email clients. You can choose when messages are deleted from the server when downloaded by the Mail.app and by other email clients but you cannot store Drafts, Sent, Trash or Junk messages on the server or create any additional mailboxes that are stored on the server.
    A .Mac or IMAP type account is beneficial for those who access their email account with multiple computers and want to keep all mailboxes for the account synchronized on each computer.
    For example, you have a Desktop at work but also travel with an iBook or PowerBook. If you have a .Mac or IMAP type account and select save Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk messages on the server in Mail on both Macs, all mailboxes for the account will be kept synchronized in Mail on both Macs. Messages sent with the iBook when traveling will be available on the Desktop Mac in the office and vice-versa.

  • Sent e-mails not saved

    Mail Version 4.4 (1082) does not store/save sent messages using the Exchange (Microsoft Outlook), and often spottily for Gmail. The command to save them is "ticked" in the preferences. How to remedy this?

    Darin, are you using a corrupted font?

  • Mail not saving sent email

    This just started on March 12, no apparent reason that I can find.  The account is a POP, preferences are set to never delete.  Kind of annoying! Thanks for any suggestions...
    OS 10.6.8, Macbook Pro 2.33  Mail 4.5 (1084)

    My primary email account is IMAP and I have just found what I suspect are all the messages that were not saved in my "sent" folder either on my iMac or ISP server. They were in the "Sent" folder of my secondary, little-used Hotmail account and the recipients "saw" these as originating from this account rather than the one from which I actually sent them. After some testing, I discovered that, for my primary account, the "always use this server" box was not checked. I surmise that, if the Mail app has trouble using the server associated with my primary account, it simply uses the Hotmail server (this would be consistent with the delay before hearing the "whooshing"noise). What does surprise me is that, if this Hotmail server has been used, the recipient sees the message as originating from Hotmail. Is this what is supposed to happen?

  • Sent E-mails Not Saved In Sent Folder

    A while back I posted a topic about randomly sent e-mails not being saved in the Apple Mail Sent folder. At the time I thought it had something to do with AOL. BTW, I am using Apple Mail to access AOL's e-mail servers.
    I am also using Apple Mail to access the e-mail servers for a web account I have with Your-Site.com. The same thing happened. I was sending an e-mail with a 6MB attachment. The Apple Mail status bar was holding steady at the half way mark. But it was not moving for about 2-3 minutes. Eventually the status bar disappeared. I checked my Sent folder and the e-mail I sent was not listed. No error messages. I did happen to bbc myself to another e-mail account that I have and it did make it there. But I have no idea if the e-mail was received by the company who I addressed it to.
    I sent a follow-up e-mail to ask if they have received it but have not heard anything back.
    Should I assume they got it since the bbc was successful?
    Also, is it possible for randomly sent e-mails not to be saved in the Apple Mail Sent folder? And if so, why is that?

    I have the same problem, and I think my mail is an older version 1.3.11 (I don't know why it's not updated though!!) Anyway... it's very frustrating, but I know that even it's not copied in the sent forder, the recipient receive the message. But We don't have any proof until the recipient reply or tell us that he had it. I could say that 97% of my message are copied in the sent folder and the other 3% is lost I don't know where... Why ? I don't understand... I there a probleme with the server .mac or the Mail app. ???
    Thank you

  • Yahoo sent mail not saved to server when using Mail only.

    Why does my Yahoo sent mail not get saved to the server when I use Apple's Mail program? (I have it saved in settings to keep sent mail on server).  I can see it in my Sent mail folder on Apple Mail but not on the yahoo server.  It's an IMAP account and it works fine on my iPhone.
    I have tried changing the outgoing ports as well and erasing the account and reinstating it on the Mail program. No luck.

    I finally figured out how to fix this; under the mailbox menu there is an option to "use this mailbox for" that allowed me to select the Sent Items folder from my Yahoo IMAP list of folders and make it the default for sent items from the Mac OS X mail software! "

  • Mail Not Saving Passwords

    OK...here's my system config: MacBook Pro, 17" (MacBookPro2,1), OS X 10.4.10 (8R2232). So running the latest version of Mail.
    Please note that my Jabber account in iChat is exibiting this exact behavior.
    Basically, every time I start mail, it asks me for the password for each of my mail accounts. This has happened before, so at first, I thought nothing of it. Then, when I realized that it was every single time, I looked in prefs and realized that the password field was blank for each account. So, doing what I thought made sense, I went through each account, added the password, and saved it.
    Then, the next time I launched mail, it did the sam thing: asked me for the password for each account. I looked, and low and behold, the fields were blank again. So, I added the password to one, saved it, then clicked on it again, and yes, again, it was blank. So basically, Mail is not saving the passwords to my accounts. All other information can be changed and it will save properly.
    I went to Keychain Access and did a repair on the Keychain, and it fixed nothing. Is this a Keychain corruption? Do I have to delete my entire Keychain to fix this problem?
