Mail shows up in sent but not in inbox

just setting up the mail function - I am a mac.com member and using 10.3.9 - trying to send messages to myself to test it out. They show up in my sent folder but not in my inbox. Also - where should my mailboxes be located - under on my mac - or the other icon which mine is labeled home.
As you can tell - I don't know what I am doing.

In your Mail Preferences you have the option to forward your self the message you sent.
By default it will only show up in the sent folder.
The options that you have available will allow you to change these settings.
Open your Mail and then click on the Mail Icon in the Menu Bar and then choose Preferences.

  • Mail showing emails as 'sent' but not arriving with the recipient

    Hi, I have had this problem before and it seemed to clear itself up after a few weeks, but I wonder if there is some way I can clear it up now.
    I send emails from Mail as normal, and they are shown as 'sent'. But only some get through, and the majority don't. Is there some setting I can change, or some way I can see if my mails have arrived?
    Many thanks, Rose

    Same happened to me twice.  1 Message showed up days later.  also using iPhone

  • Mavericks Gmail account - new mail showing up in Archive but not in Inbox

    For a Gmail account, new mail seems to be showing up in the "Archive" folder for that account (which seems to be mapped to Gmail's "All Mail").
    However it isn't showing up in the Inbox for the account.
    The settings seem identical to another Gmail account where mail is showing up in the Inbox.
    Any thoughts of what I might do to get these mails to show up in the Inbox?
    Thanks,
    Doug

    I don't know. I've given up for now and am using Mailplane. I will be doing a write-up on it, but it seems to be working much better than Airmail even.
    The funny thing about using Mailplane, which is a lot more directly connected to Gmail than any of the other clients, is that for the first time I'm seeing that even the iOS Mail app, which I thought had no problems, is actually lagging quite a lot behind the actual Gmail contents!
    I think Mail.app is hopeless at this point. Maybe it's good if you want to transfer an an entire IMAP set of folders between accounts if you are migrating (as is Thunderbird). But basically it's become extremely unreliable under Mavericks. I can't believe Apple let it out of the door.

  • Sent mail shows up on iphone but not on computer in sent box?

    When I type a message and send it from the iphone it does not show up in the sent mail box on my computer or ipad.

    On my set up, with the mobile me sync panel set to automatic and mail accounts ticked, I recieve incoming mail instantly. (on phone and mac)
    Mail Accounts under the Sync tab for your MobileMe account settings is for syncing email account settings with the Mail.app between multiple Macs only. This has nothing to do with Fetching messages or new messages being pushed to the Mail.app or to the iPhone.
    The iPhone includes a Push setting, which can be turned on or off. Are you saying if you turn Push access off on your iPhone and leave Mail Accounts selected under the Sync tab for your MobileMe account settings on your Mac, new messages will be pushed to your iPhone with your MobileMe account even though Push access is turned off on your iPhone?
    +There is no setting at System Preferences > MobileMe under the Sync tab that has anything to do with the Mail.app.+
    +The Fetch setting for the Mail.app is at Mail > Preferences under the General tab.+
    +The Mail.app setting that allows for Push access with an IMAP account is available under the Advanced tab for the account preferences - use IDLE command if the server supports it.+
    The iPhone includes a Fetch setting, which is used if Push access is turned off.

  • E-Mail shows up on alert, but not under mail

    First time owner of an iPhone...I have the 4S.  I setup my personal and work e-mail.  The "front page" shows 100 new e-mails, but when I go into mail it is on the "welcome to mail" page.  I found one thread that suggests going into Settings...Mail, Contacts, Calendar...choosing account and then going into advance settings and directing e-mail to in-box...but there doesn't seem to be this option.  Any ideas?

  • Mail shows attachment on desktop, but not on laptop

    I have received emails than when I check MAIL on my Mac mini the message shows an attachment. I can read it, preview it, etc.  However, when I then check MAIL on my MacBook Pro the same message does not show it has an attachment.
    Any insight is greatly appreciated.

    I guess it turns out that upon attempting to register my iPod Shuffle, Apple says that I have a counterfeit item. Here's their reply to my registration:
    "We regret to inform you that the serial number you have cited is recognized by our registration system as having the same format as a known series of counterfeit iPods. Please look closely to be certain that you have cited the serial number correctly. If not, please let us know the correct serial number of your product.
    Due to the incredible success of the iPod family of digital music players, a number of counterfeit devices have appeared on the market. Although they may bear Apple's name or logo, they are not manufactured or licensed by Apple.
    We would very much appreciate if you could send us a digital photo of your device by email.
    You should make a reservation and take your iPod to an Apple Store retail location to have it inspected at the Genius Bar, for the purpose of determining whether or not it is, in fact, a counterfeit product. To locate the nearest Apple Store and to make a reservation to see the Mac Genius, please visit <http://www.apple.com/retail>. If the Apple Store personnel conclude that the iPod is counterfeit, Apple will be unable to provide any kind of service or support for the product.
    Apple does not provide service or support for non-Apple products. We also suggest that you consult the vendor or reseller from which you obtained the product.
    Best regards,
    Apple Online Services Support
    Oh well, I guess I'm off the the Dispute Center of my paypal since this eBay seller used all the advertisement bearing Apple licenced product.

  • TS3276 Mail shows in the doc, but when clicked or doubled clicked does not open on the desktop, HELP !

    Mail shows in the doc, but when clicked or doubled clicked does not open on the desktop, HELP !

    Try restarting your Mac.
    Open Termimal (Applications/Utilities/Terminal)Try entering this command: killall Dock, and then hit enter
    Try dragging the Mail icon out of the dock, then let it disappear in a puff of smoke. Then from Applications/Mail try dragging the Mail icon back into the dock, and see if it works.
    Does Mail open otherwise? Like if you try opening it from your Applications folder?if it doesn't:
    Boot into your recovery partition (restart, hold down ⌘R until you see the Apple logo), and use Disk Utility to repair your hard drive. Repair permissions too while you're there. OS X: About OS X Recovery
    if that doesn't work: reinstall Mavericks over your current installation.

    Hoping for some help with a very frustrating issue!
    I have been syncing calendar and contacts on my iPhone 5 and Outlook 2007 using iCloud  2.1.3 (my PC is running Vista). All was well until the events I entered on the phone were showing up in Outlook, but not the other way around. I’ve tried the usual recommended steps: deselecting calendar and contacts in the iCloud control panel and then re-selecting, signing out of the panel and back in, and repairing the Outlook installation in control panel.  I even uninstalled iCloud on the PC and downloaded it again (same version). 
    The furthest I’ve gotten is step 2 (and once, step 3) of 7 while performing “Outlook Setup For iCloud.” At that point I get, “Your setup couldn’t be started because of an unexpected error.”  After the first attempt at all this, all my calendar events disappeared from Outlook, although they are still in iCloud calendar and on my phone.
    Sound familiar?  Any ideas on how to solve this iCloud/Outlook issue?  Thanks much in advance!

  • I have a Rocketfish mini display port to VGA adaptor cord for a macbook pro, it was working fine the first week, now it does not show what I am seeing on my laptop on my lg Flat screen tv. It only shows the space background but not any icons. Any help??

    Is there anything I should do to the TV or any settings i should do from my actual Macbook? It only shows the space background but not any of my icons or what i am seeing on my laptop screen. It is a new adaptor which was purchased last week.

    It seems as though though it may be a connection issue, possibly hardware or adapter. Make certain the connections are TIGHT.
    For software you may try a smc reset:
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer. 
    Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.
    Try a pram reset:
    Shut down your Mac.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Option, Command (⌘), P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on your Mac.
    Immediately press and hold the Option-Command-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears. Continue holding the keys down until your Mac restarts, and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
    If no joy you can take it in to an Apple store genius bar for a free evaluation make an appointment first.

  • How do i sync an audio book that i purchased in Itunes to my Iphone? It shows up in Itunes but not on my Iphone podcasts., How do i sync an audio book that i purchased in Itunes to my Iphone? It shows up in Itunes but not on my Iphone podcasts.

    How do i sync an audio book that i purchased in Itunes to my Iphone? It shows up in Itunes but not on my Iphone podcasts., How do i sync an audio book that i purchased in Itunes to my Iphone? It shows up in Itunes but not on my Iphone podcasts.

    If it's an Audiobook, then it's probably in the Audiobook section of your iPhone. Have you set your iTunes to Sync Audiobooks with your iPhone?
    Alternatively, if the Audiobook was imported into your iTunes Library as as Music, then it's going to be in the Music section of your iPhone. If so, then it will be in the Music section of your iTunes Library. To move it to the Audiobooks section, select it in the Library and choose File/Get Info/Options>Media Kind where you can change it.
    You can change it to a Podcast, but since something is only a Podcast if it is delivered to your iTunes as a Podcast download (which is a process for delivering files without you having to go and find them), then your audiobook is not a Podcast and you may forget (in the future) how you obtained the book in the first place

  • Apple, Pfft!!! (Another iPod shows up in Windows but not in iTunes post)

    How in the world does Apple market the iPod, etc... as if 10-year olds and grandmothers can operate the technology, when having viewed these message boards for 10 hours yesterday, it seems as even the tech savy people who can make a computer out of two pieces of bread and a piece of bologna have to wrack their brains to make it come a step closer to actually working. Blah!!!
    Anyway, the problem that I am having is the problem that a lot of other people are having and seems to be the main theme at the moment.
    I am unable to have iTunes recognize my iPod. My PC will once-in-a-blue-moon recognize the iPod as its own drive in Windows Explorer, but mostly all I get is the big freeze. Every time I connect my iPod to the USB, all of the programs cease to operate until I unplug it. I am not having memory problems either.
    Here's what I've done. I have updated the iPod Updater to the 06-23-06 version. I was able to get it to update the software on my 60GB iPod. I got all excited only to then have it give me several error messages 1) an internal manager error and 2) some unable to dock or something like that (sorry I'm not at my home cpu.) Once while I was doing the 4-hour battery charge my iPod came up in the source list in iTunes, but I have been unable to have it be rerecognized.
    I've unistalled and reinstalled iTunes and the iPod Updater over 10 times and have gone through the 5 Rs as well as all of the steps on
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93716 (My iPod shows up in Windows but not in iTunes)
    I've even messed with msconfig and tried a whole bunch of other suggestions. It doesn't seem that Apple has a fix for this problem and we are all left with paperweights.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks you all and condolences to everyone who is going through this same problem. I swear what happened to plug and play. Pfft!!!

    You know they are probably going to search me out and crash my computer for posting this but i had the same problem with iTunes. i spent hours, went through the 50000 "R's" and changed my settings and formatted and reset and reloaded and then i tried Realaudio. it found all the songs i had loaded into iTunes and put them on my shuffle first try. you can get Realaudio at <www.real.com> Let me know how it works...
