Mail saves a draft, but also sends the message.

We're having a problem at our office using Apple Mail. When sending email, a copy of the message will often end up in the Drafts folder, even though the message has been successfully delivered. Clicking "send message" will send it again, resulting in an inbox stuffed with duplicates.
Has anyone experienced this same glitch? Is there a way to fix this?

Seem to have found the solution:
Mail Preferences > Accounts > Mailbox Behaviors and then uncheck "Store draft messages on the server"

  • Send Mail Task runnig OK but doont send the mail

    Hi Experts,
    My workflow is running OK, the Send Mail task is OK without erros but in SOST there are no items.
    It was working until July 14, after this day no more entries in SOST.
    Can Anyone help-me ?

    Hello,
    Could it be a problem with the mail system? Are you sure mails haven't arrived - it could be that your search in SOST is having problems. I think there's a checkbox for "Transmitted" which is unchecked by default.
    Check in the workflow log (SWI1) whether the SendMail steps after July 14th had any errors.
    Check ST22 for any matching dumps.
    What happens if you send a mail manually from SBWP, does it work?
    regards

  • I need to restore my apple ID, but it send the info to the wrong e-mail when that e-mail isn't on my ID information. How do I send it to the correct e-mail?

    I need to restore my apple ID, but it send the info to the wrong e-mail when that e-mail isn't on my ID information. How do I send it to the correct e-mail?

    How can it sent it to the wrong email address? Apple sends it to the email address listed in the information you provided for your account. Thus, I really do not understand your problem.
    Maybe this will help.

    hi - i posted this in another thread but meant to post it here - oops - i've been following this thread and others for days now - i also have been having safari/email 'sending message content to server failed'/flash 10 plugin problems since latest security/java/qt software update - here's what i recommend and what i'll be doing from now on - before i install any updates via software update i'll be saving the download/installers to a folder as suggested in another topic thread - next i'll be disconnecting my router - and connecting the modem directly to the computer - bypassing the router - once i'm sure configurations/internet/mail are functioning correctly i'll connect the router - all this time my problems were with my router port settings - not safari or flash 10 plugin or mail app - go figure - hope this helps - peace!

  • Mail: 'Sending the message content to the server failed'

    My wife has a MacBook Pro and I have an iMac, both using Tiger and both using Mac Mail with Gmail accounts. We frequently get errors when sending mail - mail cannot send so it puts the messege indefinately in my Outbox. We both recieve mail just fine.
    The exact error is:
    'This message could not be delivered and will remain in your Outbox until it can be delivered.
    Sending the message content to the server failed.'
    I tried changing my port 25 to 587 and it did not seem to work. Any ideas?
    Thank you.

  • When I enter a group name into the Bcc field and try to send the message, I get "[group name] is not a valid e-mail address..."

    Been using the same template to send a weekly newsletter for a year or two but now with a recent update to Thunderbird the group name is rejected when I try to send the message:
    With a group name in Bcc field, when I press "Send" and try to send the message, I get this alert: "[group name] is not a valid e-mail address because it is not of the form user@host. You must correct it before sending the e-mail."

    This has been reported as [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1060901 Bug #1060901]. If you have an account on Bugzilla, please consider voting for that issue.
    Several other people have sent in the same support request as you, noting this happened after they upgraded to version 31.1.
    The exact error message is: XXXX is not a valid e-mail address because it is not of the form user@host. You must correct it before sending the e-mail.
    '''This happens in Thunderbird 31.1.0 when your mailing list description includes several words separated by spaces.'''
    Although not ideal, these workarounds should let you use your mailing lists until a proper fix is implemented:
    * While composing an email open the address book and select the list you are trying to send to, highlight all the names in the list and drag them to the To: box. This uses your existing data without modifying it.
    * Replacing the blanks " " between the words in such lists' descriptions with an underscore "_". This requires modifying your mailing list(s) description(s).
    * Downgrade to a previous version and disable automatic updates (Windows)

  • HT3529 I am confused about messaging. Shouldn't I be able to send and receive messages with cellular data off?  I can usually send the message, but often do not receive messages until I either have wifi or turn cellular on.

    I am confused about messaging. Shouldn't I be able to send and receive messages with cellular data off and without wifi? I can send the message but often do not receive messages from others, iPhone or other, until  I turn on cellular or wifi.

    Depends on the type of Message.
    SMS messages will send and receive with data off.  and while you can guarantee you send using SMS you cannot guarantee that whoever replies to you does also. They may be replying thorugh iMessage if they are using iPhones.
    However Android should be sending through SMS.
    You can turn off iMessage if you want to, though people with limtied SMS text messaging in their plans may not appreciate it, and stop messaging you.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

  • I am able t receive e-mails on my ipad3, but not send them. All my settings are correct

    I am able to send e-mails from my ipad3, but not send them. My settings are definately correct

    To expound a little on lllaass post ....
    Go into your email account's settings : Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars , tap on the account on the right-hand side, go into Account, then SMTP (under Outgoing Mail Server) and try filling in your email account name and password (they might show as 'optional' at the moment) and see if that helps

  • Trying to set up mail.. will receive but not send

    Trying to set up mail....  will receive but not send.  Already called internet provider.  They said ask Apple.

    Hi ...
    Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.2), Lion.
    From the Lion Help viewer ...
    If you can’t send messages
    If the Send button is dimmed or you see an alert that your message can’t be sent using the outgoing mail server, you might not be able to send messages. Here are some things you can try:
    Make sure the outgoing mail server is specified correctly, as directed by your email service provider.Verify your outgoing mail server
    If you try to send a message and a dialog appears saying you need permission, an administrator has limited the email addresses you can correspond with. Click the Ask Permission button.Request permission to send messages
    Choose Window > Connection Doctor, and follow any instructions displayed in the Details column. Check whether there is a problem with your outgoing mail server or a firewall, if applicable, or if there was a login failure. If the Connection Doctor indicates a firewall problem:Verify there is no firewall software blocking email traffic on port 25, 465, or 587.Check whether you’re affected by another firewall. This could be either software installed separately from Mac OS X or built into an Internet sharing router, or software administered by your Internet service provider. Contact the appropriate person to find out whether a firewall exists.
    You may be able to send messages from only a certain location. For example, if you send messages from school, you may not be allowed to send messages using the school’s outgoing mail server when you’re at home. Or, the email service provider may allow you to send messages but with stricter settings (such as requiring a name and password). Get the information you need from your provider and then change the outgoing mail server settings in Mail preferences.

  • I have three iPads and one iPod and one iPhone.  How can I message between them without sending the message to all of them.  You send the message to your email address but all of them are set up und one account.

    I have three iPads and one iPod and one iPhone.  How can I message between them without sending the message to all of them.  You send the message to your email address but all of them are set up under one account.

    You can have a different receiving email in the Messages app on each device : Settings > Messages > Receive At . I'm not sure that there is a different way to have the message only go to one device.

  • TS3899 Tried all the tips on line. Every time I try to send an e-mail, it gives me this message, "A copy has been placed in your Outbox. Sending the message content to the server failed" Any help in how to resolve would be appreciated

    I went through all the steps to try to resolve getting the message in a box every time i try to send an e-mail. What next ?
    Message is " A copy has been placed in your
                        Outbox. Sending the message content to the server failed."
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. My internet works fine as I can send e-mails from my Yahoo account on my MAC no problem.
    Address is fine etc.

    How long has it been going on? I've had my yahoo mess up and if i wait a bit it resolves itself. Yahoo is doing something with their servers and it messes with your mail if your mail happens to be on one of those servers.
