Mail won't save large sent messages in the "sent" folder

I have just sent an 8MB e-mail that I confirmed was received - but it simply doesn't appear in the sent messages. Not even in the "recovered messages" folder.
Has anyone had the same experience and could fix it?
Thanks,
FM

Sounds like a limit of your ISP, as it's trying to put it back on the mailserver, which may not accept such a large file.

Mail won't save info in Subject field in Drafts folder

Hi,
For some reason, Mail won't save what I type into the Subject field for messages in the Drafts folder.
Why?
I can save in any other field for any message in the Drafts folder... This has been going on for awhile, both with Mavericks and Yosemite though it worked earlier with Mavericks.
Cheers,

Nokia PC Suite - Message not save in "Sent" folder...

If you are using "Nokia Communication Center" in "Nokia PC Suite" than observe while sending the message that it will not save in "sent" folder. can anybody help me out?

Hi Antonio,
Saving the mesage means writing that e-mail in the senders "sent item" folder in the mailbox. Thus make sure that the users mail server name and user and password is correct for the system Exchange.
Also check SAP Note 738965.
Also there is this this specific port that should be open on the SMTP server for the mail to be saved in the "sent items" folder. I dont remember what port is it. Will try to figure out and let you know.
Also make sure that your Exchange transport has the sent items folder name.
Akhilesh
Using telnet check that the SMTP server can be reached on port 25. If not then there is no way you can save the messages in the sent items folder using the collaboration tools.

Apple mail won't save outgoing server port...? Odd symptom.

Each time I close Mail, the SMTP port reverts to 25. I can enter a new port, but Mail won't save that port info. I have to re-enter after opening Mail each time.
Symptom goes like this:
Open Mail, then when sending 1st message after opening app an error "cannot send mail using selected server" appears. I need to go into the settings & switch the port from the default port that is displayed (25), to 3535. After doing that & clicking ok, closing the window, the password dialog box appears & mail sends just fine. Every other message from that point will send.
Close Mail, then reopen. Have to repeat same process again.

Two weeks later (after post, above)
I Solved the Problem - I reinstalled Mac OSX 10.6.6 (It was rather painless)
My Mail is working again. Safari now also again remembers passwords.
Also, my Aperture's Mail export also works. (Mail is no longer grayed out).

Os x lion mail does not save icloud sent email with attachment

os x lion mail does not save icloud sent email with attachment... are there people who experience the same problem? i was with Apple Support via chat and he could not resolve the problem. I was given a phone number to call, i assume it's tech support for OS X or Mail but I did not have time to be on the phone for a long time... thank you

I finally fixed it! I verified and repaired disk permissions on my Mac... how come the Apple Tech Guy didn't know that???!!!! Shocking

Software update won't open, or App Store, and Mail won't let me select messages.

Hello,
Moutain Lion is playing up on my machine. Software update won't open, or App Store, and Mail won't let me select messages. Everything else takes at least 20 seconds to open fully.
Any ideas on what to do here?
Cheers,

Mail won't download "undeliverable" warning messages

Hi
My employer runs an Exchange server and Mail normally interacts with it ok.
If I send a message which (for whatever reason) doesn't get through, then the Exchange system sends me a message warning me that my original message is undeliverable. And there's the problem: Mail doesn't see these warning messages. The only indication I have is that the unread message count for the account goes up by one but then drops back to zero when I try to see the unread message. I have to go to another mail client to delete these warning messages. Looking at the text of the warning messages, they look just like any other email. I have no filters etc which would stop them from getting through.
Any suggestions please?
Bob

Hi Bob.
If the Exchange server does this in a non-standard way, that could be the cause of the problem, but I don’t really know the details nor how to solve it. Take a look at the following thread:
False unread message count using Exchange
The other thread you mention in your post appears to be a rules issue. I haven’t replied there because the OP has already stated what the problem probably is, but appears to have done nothing to address it yet...

I just upgraded to OS X 10.6.7 and mail is putting most of my emails in the Spam folder. I move them to the appropriate folder, but is there anything else I can do to "train it"?

You can see that most of my question is the title. I just upgraded to OS X 10.6.7 & have a minor problem. Mail keeps putting most of my emails into the Spam Folder. I then move them to the appropriate folders (I have several email accounts) Will this eventually train the program to know what is spam & what is not or am I stuck with constantly doing this?

Returning to Mail Preferences - Junk Mail, in the section
When junk mail arrives:
select mark as junk mail but leave it in my inbox
This should then give you the opportunity to mark it as Not Junk
and after several days it may improve.
I say 'may improve', based on my experience of when I upgraded to 10.5 a few years ago. It took a while to learn what I kept insisting was not junk. It is a slow learner but it got there.
P.S. When you are satisfied it is identifying junk reasonably accurately, you can change the Preferences setting back to 'Move it to the Junk mail box'

How to delete the messages in the purges folder?

if the mailbox is enabled the single item recovery, then the messages would move from deletion folder to the purges folder After running the following script,
Search-Mailbox dave -searchdumpsteronly
-deletecontent
so my question is how to delete the messages in the purges folder with some script or retention policy?
Please click the Mark as Answer button if a post solves your problem!

Thank you all,
As the mailbox is enabled single item recovery.
I just want to make the items neither in deletion folder, nor in purges folder.
So I think there are two ways to achieve this.
Method 1,disabled the single item recovery. then delete the items in deletion folder ,so it wouldn't enter to the purges folder, it just deleted permanently. then enable the single item recovery
Method 2,delete the items in deletion folder,then the messages move to the purges folder, then delete the messages in purges folder.
the Method 1 is not so good ,as it need to disable the single item recovery firstly, then enable single item recovery .
So I want to use the Method 2

Can't save an edited PDF to the same folder it originated from. Error "cannot save the document is read-only or is open by someone else" and then it prompts to save the document to another folder or change the name of the document. This is not what I want to do! Using WIndows 7

Mail won't save sent messages

I just got this computer- a hand me down from my boyfriend- and I am having trouble adjusting to Mail. It does not save the mail that I write, and in fact tells me so every time I start writing a new mail message. The preferences are enabled to save sent mail-- but the computer also tells me there's an error every time i start up the computer.
Can anyone tell me what I can do to remedy this? What is going on?

This whole thing is very confusing to me and I'm sorry if I seem vague. This new computer is fabulous- but I'm used to my ancient blue G3 and Entourage.
I believe that my account is an IMAP account. I followed your directions, substituting "IMAP" for "POP." I sent a sample email, and a pop down menu did not appear and warn me that my mail could not be saved. However, it is not in the saved messages folder.
Just to clarify, on the left of the Mail screen there is an Inbox, with smaller subfolders: Drafts, Sent & Trash. These folders mirror what is on my account online. Under this is a little paper airplane icon that says Sent. This continues to be empty, no matter what I do. The preferences are set to Never delete sent messages. Also, if I hit "save as draft," I get a message that says, "The message could not be saved."
Would trashing the Norton stuff help? I'm not sure if that is related to this question.
Thanks!

I have advised my icloud mail to NOT SAVE my sent messages. However, it continues to SAVE ALL SENT MESSAGES. How do I get it to stop saving them?

I want icloud to stop saving my SENT messages in my SENT folder. I have NOT checked the SENT folder - but it continues to save the sent messages. Alas, how to stop it?

The iTunes sync process does not include email account mailboxes and messages.
If the account is a POP account, all received messages tha remain on the server will be downloaded as new and unread messages. Messages in the account's Sent and Trash mailboxes will not be available since these mailboxes are not stored on the server with a POP account.
If the account is an IMAP account and you were storing the account's Sent and Deleted mailboxes on the server with the account settings on your iPhone, messages in all server stored mailboxes will be available again but must be re-downloaded which will occur when a server stored mailbox is selected.
Not sure why the apps in your iTunes library that were not selected under the Apps tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes and were not on your iPhone were selected and transferred, but the apps can be removed by deselecting the apps under the Apps tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes followed by a sync.
