Mail: "outgoing mail server (smtp)" not being saved

In Mail settings I have a default "outgoing mail server (smtp)" selected, but when I go to send mail, it changes to 'gmail'
How can I get it to work the way it's supposed to.
It's worked correctly for ever, but exhibited this new behavior recently.

I think I have the same problem without Exchange involved. I have seven different email accounts and two of them are acting like you describe: changes like deleting doesn't reflect on other clients (like mobile phone email client and webmail).
This also happens with read emails showing up unread so that if the email is been read and deleted same message can appear as new and when that message is deleted I can see two separate items of that same email message.
Also all marks of reply, forward or flagged are gone when the email show up as new again.
My service provider said that updates to Mail.app have previously made some big changes to way how it acts with email servers and thought that Mail is misbehaving with my two email systems.
I am using IMAP protocol with all accounts.
Thanks for any info and help!

  • Mail (outgoing mail server) defaults to an old incorrect entry.

    Where are the mail (outgoing mail server) settings stored?
    FOLLOW THIS THREAD: mail 2.1; preferences; accounts; Account information; Outgoing mail Server (SMTP); open this window and go to edit server list; highlight and delete all entries; then go back to account information; and select; server settings. This will open into a new window where you may type in the Outgoing mail server.
    The outgoing mail server then in use. defaults into a previously incorrect outgoing mail server.
    Where are these outgoing mail server settings stored and how do I delete them?

    Melvin,
    There is a way to purge all Mail Preferences, and start over, but I am wondering if you have any messages stuck in the Outbox, and those may reference previously entered SMTP? Do you have any messages awaiting sending, or have you only tried with newly composed messages, after the change in SMTP entries?

  • My outgoing messages are not being saved in my sent folder

    Half of my message that I try to send are not being saved in my sent folder. This is a huge problem causing lost documentation and copies of information and conversations I have had. The error message I get says that thunderbird was unable to save to my sent folder and asks if I would like to try again. If I say yes I get the same message over and over again until I give up and let the message be lost to cyberspace. What can I do to fix this issue and stop loosing valuable information for work?
    I am using an HP laptop running windows 8.

    What protocol is your email account using (POP or IMAP)?
    If POP, you need to make sure your local disk space is enough to save the sent messages. Check where the copies are located by looking at the account settings under '''Copies & Folders'''. When using POP, I believe a copy needs to be saved on both sides: local and server.
    If IMAP, the email server is where such copies are saved. You can also double-check such settings as mentioned above.
    Finally, if your emails are too big, this may be a restriction of your email provider, perhaps get in touch with their support and inquire about this to rule it out as the cause of the problem. Could you share more details about the kind of emails that fail to have a local copy saved or is it for each and every email?

  • Sent emails on my iphone not being saved on my hotmail's sent items

    Sent emails on my iphone are not being saved on my hotmail's sent items

    Delete the account on your phone under settings> Mail, contacts, calendars> hotmail account> delete. This will not erase anything on your email account as your phone only accesses the server. Then you can add the account again in the same place in settings. Just make sure you have the password so you can add it right away. Sometimes people forget their password because they never use it. If that's the case you can go online and click "forgot password" and resset it before you uninstall it on your phone. Hope this helps.

  • Sent or replied to emails are not being saved in mailbox

    My sent emails or the replies to emails sent to me are not being saved in my mailbox. The "sent" box is empty. What is happening and where can I find a copy of the emails I sent and the replies I sent?
    Thanks.

    I am not sure why it's not enabled by default, but when you go in to your mail and you can see your inbox.   look below your folders on the left hand side you'll see mail settings under general.
    click it
    and you'll see an option to save your sent messages.

  • HT4075 I tried the steps mentioned above but the changes are not being saved.

    I am not able to edit or merge PDF files. I followed the steps mentioned in the Mac support community but the changes are not being saved. Any solution to this?

    The link you posted gives be a 404 not found message. 
    The reason you're getting the repeat is because your site name is wilgenroos.nl and the first page of your site is wilgenroos. 
    The standard URL for domain names that are forwarded with the CNAME method is:
    http://www.domain_name.com/site_name/page_name.html.
    You can change the site and page names in iWeb to give you something more informative about the site and page.
    If you're publishing to a  3rd party server and want to get rid of the site name in the url and only have
    http://www.domian_name.com/page_name.html
    do the following:
    publish the site to a folder on your hard drive (already done)
    use Cyberduck to upload just the contents of your site folder to the root folder of your account on the server.
    You should delete the old site folder and files that are currently there beforehand.

  • Table extension not being saved

    Hi,
    I have implemented Table extension at item level for SC and from the config perspective all looks fine.
    1) Created Append struture with required fields
    First step: appending the field to the correct structure in SE11 or via transaction SPRO.
    Structure names for table extensions are according to the pattern:
    INCL_EEW_PD_<x>_CST_<y> with
    <x>: HEADER, ITEM
    2)
    Path in IMG (transaction SPRO):
    SAP SRM -> SRM server ->
    -> Cross-Application Basic Settings
    -> Extensions and Field Control (Personalization)
    -> Create Table Extensions and Supply with Data
    -> Define Customer Table Extensions on Item Level
    Second step: you additionally need to append the new table extension field to the
    corresponding INCL_EEW_PD_<x>_CST structure called u2018cross-documentu2019 structure. This can
    also be done in IMG
    You can explicitly enter the very same field(s) (name and type) into both append structures.
    It is recommended, however, to first create another structure with the new field (in SE11) and
    then include that other structure in both append structures
    (menu path in SE11 screen: -> Edit -> Include -> Insert).
    Default append structure names in this example are
    ZAINCL_EEW_PD_ITEM_CST_SC and
    ZAINCL_EEW_PD_ITEM_CST
    when using the IMG path..
    3)
    Third step: Set visibility of the table extension.Create an entry with TICUS for item data (THCUS for header data).
    Donu2019t miss to populate the Transaction Type field - you could save the table entry without it,
    but it will not work!
    4)
    Fourth step: Configure Control of Fields of Table Extensions. Create an entry with TICUS for item data (THCUS for header data).Donu2019t miss to populate the Set Level field - you could save the table entry without it, but it will not work!
    Fifth step: Configure Control of Actions
    Sixth (final) step: SM30 - maintain view /SAPSRM/V_MDFSBC_DEFAULT
    I have rechecked the config several times but could not find any reason for the data not to be saved.
    When I add the data to the table structure and if click enter or check button the data disappears. The entries are not captured in BBP_PDICF  table either. i can see the Z structure in se11 for BBP_PDICF.
    I have checked doc_change badi for any issues but could not find the issue. Any idea as where I should check for the data not being saved issue?

    Hello Srinivas,
    Please do this step:
    In SM30-maintain view /SAPSRM/V_MDFSBC_DEFAULT
    Object set type :TICUS
    Structure field name : custom field
    Object type : BUS2121
    set level : item
    Field visible : X
    field enable : X
    Regards,

  • Database/Password Information not being saved in CMC

    Product:  CR Server XI R2.  Server is Windows Server 2003 operating system
    An issue just popped up today where the database info for a report in the CMC is not being saved.   I'm in the Process tab (database link) of the Report properties of the CMC and trying to enter Custom Database login information.
    The Driver is Oracle and the Server and Username fields are set correctly.  However, when setting the Password field, regardlesws of what length of a password I use, it defaults to 7 characters when showing on the screen and none of the reports run.  Even when I set the password to blank and set the password on the InfoView, the reportsw still error out.
    The error message when running the report is always
    Error Message:  The database logon information for this report is either incomplete or incorrect.
    We've been running these reports for weeks without any issue until today.  Are there any known issues with any recent MS patches or anything that could be causing this?  The only thing I noticed was a MS Patch (KB960714) that was installed on Friday night.  Uninstalled and rebooted and still no resolution.

    Hi Eric,
    I'm experiencing a similar problem.  Did you ever get this problem solved?

  • WRT160Nv3 port forwarding settings not being saved

    Hello there.
    I am using a WRT160Nv3 router and am having trouble getting port forwarding to work. 
    Specifically, my settings are not being saved properly. 
    I am trying to set up a server to run for Minecraft, and I have eliminated all issues save port forwarding.
    I open up the router's settings by going to 10.10.10.1 in my browser.  I go to "Single Port Forwarding."  I then choose a blank spot on the left and label the application (in this case, Minecraft), then I type in the ports I want to forward (minecraft uses 25565).  I check the box "Enabled."  Then I go down to the "Save Settings" button below and click it.
    This brings me to a mostly black screen with a white box in it, and big black letters saying "Settings are successful" and a button to click, labeled "continue."  I click this, and it returns me to the last page I was on (Single Port Forwarding).
    But here is the problem- that page is EXACTLY the same as when I began.  None of what I typed in or changed is actually saved on the screen o_0
    This definitely baffles me, as it seems as if I did nothing in first place.  I use the program whose port I wanted to forward and it still doesn't work, the error messages being the same as always. 
    So what is the matter here?  Why aren't my settings being saved properly?  Do I need to get a new router-this one is only a year old...
    Any ideas?
    PS- I also tried to do port range forwarding, and the same thing happens there too.

  • Messages are not being saved on N96

    On my N96 I have set save sent messages and receive report as 'yes' but after updating firmware (20.050) messages are not being saved.Is there any solution to someone.

    I have exactly the same problem with my N95 but I can't really say when it started. Suddenly I just noticed my phone didn't save sent messages anymore and hadn't done it for some time, but can't really tell after what it started to occur. Really strange problem, not even reseting back to factory settings helped - after I put "receive report" option back it stops saving sent messages to sent folder. Actually if I go to "sent" folder quickly after sending the sms, it shows there for little moment before disappears. Really strange. I couldn't google any other information about this problem than this topic.

  • I've been editing images with ease for a long time but now the changes are not being saved.

    I've been editing images with ease for a long time but now the changes are not being saved.
    Also, it is not liking me adding a large ammount of images in one go?

    Remember: we cannot see your machine. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS.  So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Basic things like :
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted?
    - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • File Options not being saved

    I appologize if this is the wrong forum, but I did a search and failed to find a related subject.
    When I click on File>Options then modify them the way I want to, then close Designer 2008 and reopen it, they're back to the default values.
    How can I retain my options even after closing designer and reopenning?
    Thanks much!

    What version of Crystal are you using?
    Are you a local PC Administrator also?
    Try right clicking on the crw32.exe and selecting Run As Administrator and then change them.
    Are you clicking the OK or Save button after making changes or simply closing the window using top right X button?
    Those options are saved to the registry, only reason they are not being saved is you don't have permission or some anti-virus software or Restore Point is writing the original settings back when you close CR.
    You may want to check with your IT people to see if they have pushed out some sort our Profile update that doesn't allow you to keep changes to the registry.
    After making the changes and you create a new report do you see the changes? Don't close the designer.
    Thank you

  • Window preferences not being saved

    Hi there -
    Using InDesign CS4 on Windows XP.  A few days ago a problem started happening - whenever I close InDesign, my preferences for which windows (Tools, Pages, Links, Character) I have open are not being saved.  Takes me 3-4 minutes every time i open InDesign to put everything back the way it should be.
    I've installed updates, no dice, and have deleted the preferences file as suggested by this thread:http://forums.adobe.com/thread/526990
    Any other steps I can take?
    thanks in advance,
    Andrew

    Those things are saved as part of the workspace. It sounds as if the current workspace file has become corrupt. Close ID, then go to your user profile and you'll find the workspaces folder under \Application Data\Adobe\InDesign\Version 6.0\<language>\Workspaces. Delete the "current" xml file for the workspace and restart ID. The workspace will be restored to the conditions set when it was saved, but hopefully will remember changes again when you close the program.

  • Notes are not being Saved

    Recently upgraded to an iPhone 3G S from the first generation iPhone. Synced my phone and everything is fine, but when I use the Notes application the notes are not being saved. Anyone know of a way to fix this?

    Ensure that the "sync notes" box is checked in iTunes. Also note that the notes syncing feature doesn't work very well yet.
    If you have a note on both the phone and the computer, and you change/update the one on the phone, the next time you sync the computer version will over write the phone version.
