Mail Receipt of sent email

How can I get a receipt of sent emails in Mail and Leopard?

If you had used [email protected] you would certainly not get a response!
Not all email applications pay attention to the receipt request; those that do generally allow the user to decide whether or not to acknowledge receipt. To test whether it is working, open one of your sent messages and view the full headers and see if the disposition notification header is there with your correct email address.

Apple Mail (10.7) Sent Emails...where are they

I have sent over 140 emails since August 3rd using OSX Lion and NONE, Yes NONE are showing in Apple Mail's "Sent" files.
As usual I went back to Outlook 2011 and all 142 sent emails are there.
What the heck is going on with Apple Mail??????
....Cannot search for anything
.....Cannot find sent emails
and more..
Hate to say that so far Outlook 2011 is MUCH better, but I hope that this is not true and someone can give us a reason why so far Apple Mail is a HUGE disappointment.
Thx Much

I have this problem with our exchange 2007 accounts. Since I installed Lion I noticed the sent folder didn't contain any of the exchange accounts, I carried on for a few days but the sent folders never appeared. So I deleted each of the four exchange accounts I use in my company and set them up again. Hurrah! the sent items appeared but after a few days they disappeared again. Here is my screen shot of the settings used, which by the way i havent changed.
Just to end I'd say that I like Mail in Lion but this bug? is making it unusable so I've moved to Outlook while it gets fixed.

Mail question regarding sent email storage

in the Mail program, I want to keep sent emails on the server for a week, but then delete them, but will this delete them on my computer(s) or just from the server?

If it's an IMAP email account (such as iCloud email or Gmail), it will delete them everywhere. If you want to keep them, but not have them on the server, you'll need to archive them locally on your computer before deleting them.

How do you get Mountain Lion Mail to show sent email size?

I upgraded to mountain lion I think a couple months ago so I don't remember exactly when I lost this feature, but in Snow Leopard for sure there was an option that when composing a new email, a little bar across the bottom of the email showed the size of your email so when you were adding attachments you could see the size your email was getting to be. I obviously haven't used that in a while because I ahvent' sent attachments in a long while, but I have recently started to do that again and tonight when I was adding files, there was no bar across the bottom of the email at all so I have no idea what size my email was. Even when I hit send and the progress bar in the bottom left of Mail ("Mail Activity") that use to show the file size right underneath the bar also now no longer shows the size so I have absolutely no idea how big the email I sent was.
Can anyone tell me how to get the option back to show the email size of the mail your composing in that little bar on the bottom of your email as well as the file size to display as you are sending in "Mail Actiivity" window? Thanks so much if anyone can help. Thank you!

Mail grabs other sent emails when I send a new message to someone

I just discovered something really bad happening when I send a message using Apple Mail on Lion. I hope I can explain it correctly.
I have multible accounts in Mail.Don't think that's the problem but, when I click on the "New Message" button up top to write a new message to someone, After I send it, I find when I look in the "Sent" folder that it grabbed different emails that I sent to other email addresses. That *****! I can't find a setting anywhere to stop it form doing that. Anybody have any idea how to stop that from hapening?

I was just playing around and it looks like it grabs emails that have the same subject text in the Subject" box. That's just crazy!

MAIL: Problem Archiving Sent Emails

If I move emails from my Sent Mailbox to a folder On My Mac to archive them, they all come up showing the Sender (me) instead of the Recipient. I can Sort by To, but then I lose the chronological order. I've got about 17,000 sent items, so leaving them all in the online Sent Mailbox isn't practical. Deleting them isn't an option either, I need them for memoirs I'm writing.
Any advice? People have been complaining about this for the last five years so I don't see Apple springing to my rescue any time soon. I used to use Entourage and it worked beautifully, but then iCloud came around, forcing my transition to IMAP, so I switched to Outlook and it's awful. Would love to switch to Mail if I can just figure out how to work around this issue.
Thanks!

I'm not quite sure I understand the problem, but do you know that you can add or remove columns for any mailbox list in Mail by right (or control) clicking in the column name area or from the View > Columns menu item?
This is done on a per mailbox basis, so for example you can add a "Date Sent" column to your 'On My Mac' folder if it doesn't have one & sort by that. You can also click & drag the columns into a different order left to right or resize them by dragging the dividers between them.

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 emails from Yahoo or iphone dont appear in sent mail folder on MacBook

Please can someone help? My email account is with Yahoo mail (free one); I can send and receive emails without a problem from Mail on my MacBook. However If i send an email from a browser session in Yahoo mail then the sent email does not appear in my Mail sent folder. Likewise i can send and receive emails on my iphone but the sent emails do not appear in either my Yahoo Sent folder or my Mail sent folder.

that's because yahoo only offers POP access. that's a limitation of POP. it only downloads your inbox messages from the server. it does not do any kind of syncing and it does not download or up load sent messages. if you want that you need to switch to an email provider that offers IMAP (yahoo doesn't). IMAP syncs everything with the server so you'll get the same mailboxes contents everywhere you access that account.

Sent email gets marked as 'unread'

Hi all,
I'm getting two rather frustrating issues on Apple Mail.
Firstly, sent emails are starting to, on occasion (probably 50% of the time), get marked as 'unread' in my sent mailbox. This was not an issue in the past.
Secondly, my to do items are disappearing. The items are being stored on a local calendar (so no sync issues I would presume), and I create them via a note. The to do item on the note greys out and disappears from the to do list.
Any assistance for either of these issues would be really appreciated.
Thanks,
Rhys

Hi,
Do you have any add-in installed in your Outlook? If so, we may try to start Outlook in safe mode to see if this issue is caused by nay problematic add-in. To do this, press Windows key + R to open the Run command, type
outlook.exe /safe and press Enter. If this issue would be gone in safe mode, please go to File > Options > Add-ins and disable suspicious add-in to resolve the issue.
If this issue continues in Outlook safe mode, we may also try to login to webmail interface and check if this issue can be reproduced from there.
Please let me know the result.

In Mail where can i find my sent emails? How do I open this send box?

In Mail how do I open the send box? I need to find and forward my sent emails.

If you hold the iPad in landscape orientation you should see your email account id (or Mailboxes if you only have one email account set up on the iPad) shown top left. Tap on your account id (or Mailboxes), and then tap on Sent to show your Sent emails. You should then be able to select an email and Reply/Reply All/Forward/Print them via the arrow icon top right.

I can't find older emails in my Yahoo account or iPhone app BUT I am able to see them on my Mac Mail version of email. sent emails are OK.

... for the past few months i have noticed that emails in my inbox Yahoo mail account older than a few weeks keep disappearing. i cannot find them in my Yahoo account or iPhone app BUT i can see them on my Mac Mail version of email. Emails that i have stored into folders in my yahoo account are still there... same with my sent emails... it's just the Inbox emails.. strange, very strange. I don't know how to 'move' the emails from my Mac Mail back to my Yahoo account.

Please read and begin using Can receive email, but not send email. I had a similar issue with Comcast mail (could receive by not send) and found my answer in this letter. For me it took resetting the outgoing mail and telling the system to use a password when sending outgoing mail. If you need help with that please advise and I'll tell you where to look.

How do I save sent emails on my web server using Mail with IMAP?

I have email through a web hosting company setup as IMAP through Apple Mail. In preferences, I have the box checked to save sent emails on the server, however, when I send emails they are stored in Sent Messages folder on my Mac and not on my web server. Also, when I send emails on my iPhone they are stored in the regular Sent folder for my email under Mailboxes.

How do I get my incoming emails in Mail on my Imac to automatically go to Icloud? My sent emails go there automatically but not my incoming emails.

How do I get my incoming emails in Mail on my Imac to automatically go to Icloud? My sent emails go there automatically but not my incoming emails. I'm using OS X 10.8.5.

No, I'm not using the icloud email address. I am using my email address [email protected] Let me try to explain what I'm trying to do. I'd like the emails that I send from and that are sent to my pacbell.net email address to also show up on icloud so if something happens to my imac which is the primary computer my emails are preserved on Icloud and I can access them there.
Is that possible?
Note: I have been able to move my pacbell.net emails to the icloud account manually.

Mail: Why do some emails, sent with attachments, not appear in the Sent category

Occasionally I will send an email to four different addressees. The email contains an attachment in pages format, word format and pdf formal. Though it is sent and though it is received by at least one of those to whom it is addressed, it does not appear as sent, in the Sent Mailbox. Why is this and what can be done to get all sent emails to appear as Sent?
Thank you.

Most mail servers can be accessed in a web browser as well as in Mail. For iCloud, you go here:
iCloud Mail
Check for sent messages.

Suddenly none of my sent emails are showing up in the sent mail folder. I did just do the recent OS update.
