Mail sending Reply, but not saving reply in thread.

Over the past week an entirely new problem has cropped up.
When I send a reply to somebody, once in a while the reply message I send does not show up in the thread.
It seems like it goes out... making the mail out swoosh sound, but there is no message that gets tacked to the replied to message.
The reply does not show up in sent messages, drafts, or recovered messages.
There simply is no record of my replies.
This doesn't happen with every message so it is sporadic.
Some of the messages seem to go out because people reply that they received the message when I start a new message asking about it.
Others seem to have disappeared.
I am wondering if this is happening with others.
It seems to have happened since the last mail upgrade which I think happened in the last week or few weeks if I remember correctly.
Because of this I think I need to abandon mail and use the web interfaces for my mail programs which seem to be functioning correctly.
I am using Mountain Lion 10.8.5.
None of my mail settings has changed.
None of my mail preferences or passwords has been changed in any way.
One day it was working.... then replying became a hit or miss as to whether I could see it after I sent it and possibly whether other people received my reply or not.

Thanks for discovering this issue being connected to drafts. I have trouble with this for a couple of months as well.
Since you assume it to be connected to "drafts", I suggest to deselect "Store draft messages on the server" for your IMAP-Account. I just did this for myself, to see if it helps, and can't give you results yet. Maybe you just wanna try simultaneously. I guess, the reason for our problem could me some messy communication between Mail and the server, where one party get's confused.
Greetings

  • Sending messages but not saving to server

    Since updating to Lion I've been able to use the Mail client to access Yahoo! Mail (the free version, not Yahoo! Mail Plus) for the first time.
    Mail is receiving and sending mail fine but messages composed and sent within Mail are not saving to the Yahoo! server.
    Within the Preferences the "store sent messages on the server" is checked.
    The Mail Connection Doctor has green lights.
    I sent myself a test message using a different email address (within the mail client) which did store on the server.
    Any ideas?

    You have stated in another thread that the Photoshop CS6 change from previously-compliant icons of CS5 to new less-useful and non-compliant icons is because Apple requested the change in preparation for Retina.
    The request is clearly illogical, therefore there seems a high probability of a communication error between Apple and Adobe, or a mistake by someone at Apple or by someone at Adobe.
    Will the icons in the next Ps update be compliant with Apple's public guidelines?

  • Why is mail sending messages but not receiving?  problem just started.

    not sure that anything has changed on my imac recently.  i am running 10.7.3.  i can send mail but it's not receiving.  help appreciated.

    benhill00,
    Please look over Apple's Mail Setup, Troubleshooting etc.. link. I suspect a setting has just gotten "confused" or become corrupt somehow. Frequently all you need to do is go into the Mail's Account settings and re-input the settings.

  • Using Windows: Send to -- Mail recipient, msg is sent OK, but not saved in Sent folder, with err msg about it. Sending from within Thunderbird: msg saved OK.

    When using Windows 8.1 context menu: Send to --> Mail recipient, message is sent OK, but not saved in Sent folder, with error massage: There was an error saving the message to Sent. Retry? (selecting Retry doesn't help).
    Similar issue happens when I open a ".eml" file and Reply of Forward it.
    When composing a new message from within Thunderbird, all is OK, including saving in the Sent folder.
    Already tried:

    Compacting all folders of the account.
    Uninstall Thunderbird and install the latest version (31.6.0).

    Try Mail->Window->Connection Doctor.  If there is a problem reported, try:
    Open Mail->Preferences and check your settings.
    If you still have a problem, Copy your settings (screen capture ⇧⌘4), delete account, and re-setup account

  • I can send emails but not receive them. The sender address was rejected by the server

    i can send emails but not receive them. The sender address was rejected by the server.

    Your mail server doesn't like the sender's address for some reason, perhaps because his mail server has been blacklisted for spamming.

  • Can send SMS but not receive after update...

    After updating my iPhone 4S to ios6 i have problems with receiving messages.I can send SMS but not receive. What to do?

    Although I don't believe in consequences, I think this might be one of them. My email was working fine until I installed my VPN. I use the Thunderbird email application, which I like a lot, for three Hotmail accounts and two Yahoo accounts. After installing the VPN I could receive mail but could not send it on any of my accounts. I contacted the VPN and they sent me some numeric IP Addresses to put in my account settings. One for the Hotmail accounts and one for the Yahoo accounts. I did as instructed and the email seemed to work okay. It was late in the evening and I went to bed. The next morning, I could send and receive emails on the Yahoo accounts, but could only send emails on all of the Hotmail accounts.
    I guess I'd like to know if anyone else is having this same problem. I'd hate to think it was just me. :-)
    I would like for Thunderbird to tell me if there is a way to change the outgoing server in the Account Settings, so I can enter the IP Address in there, or does the fact that I entered an IP Address in the Server Name box, cause it to override any other entries? Or should that even make a difference with me receiving mail?
    Also, at what time limit does Thunderbird send back a message that the connection to the server timed out? I continually get that message.
    I found a way to do a ping on the Hotmail server and the fastest response time for the last two days was 258.09 which seems very slow for a business computer. At least for a business that wants to stay in business. So is that time above the Thunderbird threshold of the connection time out message to be generated?
    Thanks for all your help and suggestions, Carole

    I have verified permissions via Disk Utility, but that hasnt helped.
    Any ideas?

    I have fixed it! All I did was to select "replace all information in iPhone from Maill" and worked.

  • Want to delete mails from Thunderbird but not from the server?

    Hi,
    Please tell me how to configure the settings of Thunderbird so that if i delete any mail from Thunderbird that mail would be delete only from Thunderbird not from server. I'm using IMAP configuration for all my mail accounts and I'm using Thunderbird in my laptop and tablet both.
    Currently i'm using Thunderbird 24.4.0 and i just want to delete my useless mails from Thunderbird but not from the server without using pop-3 settings.
    Actually the reason for this Question arises because whenever i use to uninstall and reinstatement Thunderbird, i use to take "profiles" as a back up and its size is increasing day by day that is making a big issue to me as i cant take a back up of such a big size file.

    Imap mail accounts keep the emails on the server and you see a remote view of those emails and folders.
    When you subscribe to see a folder, the headers are downloaded, when you select an email to read, the entire folder is downloaded to a temp cache facilitating quicker access. If you synchronize folders, then a copy of that folder is downloaded to an mbox file in your profile, so that you have a copy of the server folder. When you make any changes to a synchronized folder, read an email, delete or move etc, then Thunderbird will resynchronize with the server to update the server. A synchronized folder allows you to work in 'offline' mode and this is the best time to perform a backup as you know there is a temporary stop on synchronizing as you are offline. They will resynchronize when you go back into 'online' mode.
    So, with IMAP mail accounts, the folders you see in Thunderbird are the same folders on the webmail server. If you make any changes via Thunderbird or webmail then you are changing the same folder. You cannot delete an email without deleting it from the server, they are one and the same.
    What you can do is move/copy an email into Local Folders and delete the one on the server. The Local Folders emails are kept in your Profile on your computer, these folders/emails are not on the server, unless you chose to keep a copy of them on the server.
    Pop mail accounts cannot see the folders on the server. They only access the server Inbox folder and download emails not previously downloaded to the mail account Inbox in Thunderbird. These emails are kept on your computer in your profile folder. You can select to keep a copy on the server or not. You can choose to delete emails off your computer and off the server or not.
    If the mail account is gmail , have you subscribed or even synchronized to see the 'All Mail' folder ? Gmail's all Mail folder is their Archive folder, it keeps a copy of all of your non-deleted emails. So, you do not need to subscribe to see this folder as it only shows you what you can already see in other folders. It doubles the disc space.
    Please read section on 'All Mail' at this link.
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Using_Gmail_with_Thunderbird_and_Mozilla_Suite
    You do not have to download/synchronize the entire folder. You could select to only synchronize the most recent xx days of emails.

  • How InDesign comes to know about any changes on document, but not saved. As it shows * on the name of document when it is opened and any changes. And after saving * symbol is get removed from the name of document. How and where indesign@ handles this?

    Are you just asking because you want to know, or do you have a problem you need to solve? I don't know how to write a program, but I think what your are describing is not an unusual thing for a  program to do. The * tells you that changes have been made since the last save, and the program reserves a portion of memory for undo functions. I suppose a coder could tell you how it works, but I don't think it would help an average user to know, but that's just my opinion.

    I want to be able to access my photos that are stored on iCloud
    – I see mail and contacts but not my pictures?
    I have been backing up for a long
    time -  Where are they?   

    You can't view them on iCloud.com.  And photos (and other data) stored in your device backup can't be viewed, other than by restoring the backup to your device.
    If you want to view your photos on the web, for the time being you will have to add them to a shared stream (album) with the Public Website option enabled.  This will give you a private url to view them from a browser.
