Mails sent on my iPhone isn't shown in the sent folder

Whenever I send an email it does not show up in the sent folder on my iPhone or on my Mac when I sync. Why could this be?
It works just fine, I recieve mails and I'm able to reply and all that. I just can't see them in the sent folder which is annoying.
Hope you can help me

I think figured it out. The original problem was that Mail.app was not using Gmail's smtp server. In the account preferences in Mail I have checked the box which says: 'Only use this server' under the pop-up list which has Gmail's smtp server selected. But examining the full headers of emails sent via supposedly different smtp servers (via different email addresses with all have that 'Only use this server' checked) and emails sent via Gmail's web interface gave me the strong indication that Mail.app is not using Google's smtp server.
Lo and behold, once I switched between my corporate network and a cellular-modem based one which caused Mail to fail to reach the smtp server (inside my corporate network only my corporate smtp server works and outside every smtp server except the corporate one works) and therefore brought up a dialogue which allowed me to choose the smtp server and I selected Gmail's smtp server, my sent messages showed up in Gmail's sent folder.
Even better, after restoring my iPhone (syncing wasn't doing the trick), emails sent from my Gmail account on the iPhone show up in Gmail's sent folder (and Gmail's sent folder also shows up on the iPhone).
As usual, if you for your life's sake cannot figure something out, most likely something you consider a fact is actually not the true. I was assuming that Mail was using Gmail's smtp server, that is what I told Mail to do. But apparently, once Mail fails to reach an smtp server and you tell Mail to use another it continues to use this alternative server forever until it fails to reach this one and ask you again (and that is the only way to reset it). And more importantly this alternative smtp server gets carried over to the iPhone. Even more sneakily, if you check the smtp server setting on the iPhone it still reads the 'correct' one but it is using in fact another one (visible from the full headers of the received email).
Getting Mail to use the correct smtp servers is its own pain in the butt. And after the umpteenth restore with everything working now, I now unchecked the option to sync mail accounts (since I keep switching networks on my Mac, I'm sure to end up with the wrong smtp servers associated with my email accounts).

Internal emails are not delivered but they are shown in the Sent Mail

hi,
I'm not enjoying Exch2013, the lack of a "proper" admin console is a pain and I'm having trouble getting the required diagnostic/tracking information out of PShell to fix my problem.
I've installed Exch2013 RC1 on a new 2012r2 Domain, the install went OK and there were no obvious issues however internal email's wouldn't deliver, they appear in Sent Items but aren't received in the internal rcpt's inbox.
while trying to fix the problem, I installed ExchCU7 and bingo everything sprang to life and mail was working, inbound/outbound & internally - so I assumed the service pack/update had fixed it but the next day I rebooted the server and to my horror,
I'm back where I started - no mail flow.
One single test message which I sent outbound using the Web mail, rather than Outlook did arrive but hours after I sent it? confused.com
this is running on a HV-2012r2 as a VM, with a dedicated Nic and plenty of Fixed VD storage.
Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.
I'm very close to removing Exch2013 and re-installing but I worry this would cause more issues.
Thanks Iain

this server is the first and only Exchange server in a single site/AD enviroment.
Doamin and Exch are both brand new, with one DC and Exch runing on a member server.
This server isn't recieving inbound mail yet, however the SMTP port is availible.
Am I correct in thinking that internal mail from one mailbox to another doesn't require SMTP, instead the msgs are transmitted within the HUB. I'd like to stress that the isntallation of ExchCU7 instantly fixed all the mail flow problems, then a day
later and after a reboot it reverted to back to its current state.

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. The iPhone includes a global push setting - on or off, and you can enable or disable push access separately for received messages, contacts and calendars with a MobileMe account. I don't have push access enabled for received messages with my MobileMe account on my iPhone, but I do have push access enabled for contacts and calendar events.
The MobileMe sync settings under the Sync tab for your MobileMe account preferences has nothing to do with the Mail.app and checking for new messages or syncing server stored mailboxes with the Mail.app or with the iPhone's Mail client.

Why Gmail sent from my iPhone not appearing in iMac's Sent folder?

Hi guys,
Some time after installing iCloud - possibly the same day, I sent a message from my iPhone 3G to multiple recipients.
a) No one got it, b) my message appears as Sent in iPhone and in Gmail (on their site), and on my iMac's Gmail/Sent folder, but not in the iMac's Mail/Sent folder - which is the one I always check.
I have 2 questions: 1. how come a message appearing as Sent on Gmail's own site isn't received (there were 4 recipients) and, 2. why does it appear as Sent in some but not all Sent folders?
Would iCloud have anything to do with it?
I just sent a test message to myself from my iPhone. I got the message both on the iPhone AND iMac, but again the message does not appear in the iMac's/Mail Sent folder. Bizarre?
PS All my software is up to date, regardless of what my profile says.
Thanks a lot,
Raphael

Please ignore the above . I have discovered what I did wrong - but don't know how to delete the question!
Sorry

Emails sent through Mail 7.0 on Mac won't appear in the Sent folder in the Yahoo web browser or the Mail app for iPad.

It seems that emails I send via Mail on my mac are stored only in Mail's Sent folder. These emails don't appear in the sent folder of Yahoo web browser, iPad Mail app, or the Y! Mail android app..
I've tested to see whether my emails are actually sending properly, and they are. I just want to know why the Sent messages on my mac aren't appearing anywhere else. I've read similar issues to this but haven't yet found a reason or solution.
Thanks in advance

[edit] I dragged the email I sent through the MBP Mail app (under MAILBOXES > Sent > Yahoo!) to the highlighted Sent folder (YAHOO! > Sent), and now it shows up on all Yahoo Sent folders (iPad app, web browser, phone app). Not entirely solved the issue but will use web browser to sent future emails to keep everything in sync.

When I send mail on my ipad, it does not appear in the sent box.

I use bellsouth.net for email on my ipad, I have a sent box and it has some sent mail from a long time ago. My mail is being sent just not showing up in Sent Mail Folder. How do I get my sent mail to show up in the sent folder?

I don't quite understand your point. If iTunes leaves the book "ticked" it should transfer back to the iPad when you sync because the "tick" means that the item is selected to sync.
If you want to remove the book from your iTunes library, launch iTunes on your computer, click on "Books" under the library heading, click on the book that you want to delete and hit the delete key or right click on the book and select delete. I think both methods will work if you want to delete the book.
I don't know if that answers the question, but like I said, I'm unclear as to what you mean.

I don't quite understand what you've posted. Have you cancelled your Gmail account?
If you've just connected Mail to Gmail, and you've used IMAP to connect to it, you'll probably have an "All Mail" mailbox towards the bottom left of the screen (under the GMail mailbox). In there should be a Sent Mail box. All your Sent mail should be in there. To have it appear in the Sent mailbox at the top left of your screen, highlight Gmail's Sent Mail mailbox, click the Mailbox menu at the very top of your screen, and click "Use this Mailbox for - Sent".

HT4236 How do you keep photos in the same sequence on the iPhone that they are on the PC folder?

How do you keep photos in the same sequence in the iPhone as they are in the folder on the PC??

When I sync my photos they are listed alphabetically (by folder) and within the folders, listed alphabetically again by the name assigned to the photo. The only way I can think of to keep the order that you have in your computer would be to assign a letter as a prefix to each photo. If you have more than 26 photos in a folder, you can double the letters, etc. I think that will keep the photos in the order you want.

Ensuring the iPhone isn't connected to the internet

Hello,
I have recently bought an iPhone.
I have managed to connect it to my home Wi-Fi network and it accesses the internet without any problems.
This is fine for home use, but I don't want to access the internet while out-and-about. I notice the user guide mentions that the iPhone will try Wi-Fi first, search for other Wi-Fi's second, and then try my Phone carrier last.
My questions are as follows:
1) Will the iPhone confirm that I want a connection with the internet via my phone carrier Before it actually connects?
2) When I do connect via the phone carrier, how can I ensure that the connection has been properly disconnected when I have finished? The phone always displays 3G whether it is actually using the internet or not or just connected to the phone carrier.
3) Is there a way to disable the iPhone connecting to the internet via the phone carrier without disabling normal phone functions or the Wi-Fi home network option?
I have a simple data package, and don't plan to connect that often unless I'm using a wireless network. As my data package is only small I want to limit accidental use, hence why I want to ba e=able to ensure I know when I am and am not connected ot the internet.
For thos of you in Australia, I'm using Telstra and the 3G network.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Leon.

Hi Allan,
Thanks. Your answer above seems to already put my fears at ease.
No problem with having internet connection always available so that I can have it when I need it. I don't want to turn that off. Just wanted to make sure that as long as I don't use any applications that require internet connection, I don't get connected to the cellular network internet/data transfer and thus unknowingly eat up my free data hours. And, when I do use apps that do require internet connection, the connection/data transfer will automatically cease once I simply exit the apps.
Sometimes with such high tech products, I still have the need for something basic and outright such as -- 'disconnect from internet?' to ensure that I am really disconnected and not loosing my free hours... and worse of all, getting charged for use over the free hours!

When i added my yahoo mail account in my iphone 4 ,it synced all the mail folders with its emails .BUT this didn't happen when i did the same in my macbook pro ?

Hi,
I think iphone 4 deals with mail account in an impressive way unlike the macbook pro. Because my yahoo mail account had been synced completely with all its emails and folders on the iphone 4.
BUT with Macbook pro, nothing happened even it told me that please make sure of your password. N.B. I know my password....
My question is can I have all my emails synced in my new macbook pro with all its folders. ?
Thanks,
Ahmad.

Thanks, You know..... it happened with me once before when I first use the windows live mail client.... I contacted yahoo staff and they replied with the same as you replied......( I thought that there is way to do what I wanted )...
By the way they advised me, if I wanted to get my folders .... I have to MOVE messages from specific folder to INBOX then SYNC imail then CREATE folder in imail with the same name as in my yahoo and so on !!!!
OK, if there are ways to sync the WINDOWS LIVE MAIL accounts and its folders, it will be great..... Does anyone know HOW TO ?

hello,
Just an FYI update on my post re: after update to version 2.0.2
my computer no longer sees my iPhone as if it were an external
HD as it had before update using version 1.1.4. Shortly after posting
this problem, I logged into my usual user acct, not the user name specified
with iTunes user acct, and although I had chosen the option of making
iTunes the default music player for iPhone acct, I hadn't indicated
the iTunes default with my usual surfing user acct. Anyway, just after
I posted and logged out of that acct and logged into my usual one
a dialog box opened unsolicited and asked if I wanted to make iTunes
the default for usual acct name. I said no thanks, and now on that user
acct I am able to copy photos from iPhone without sync process as if
the iPhone was an external HD as I could before. Now before I sync
Photos back into the iPhone using the iTunes user acct, i select
the photos I want and put them into the specific folders I have set
up inside the iPhone photos folder and tah da, the folders will have
The pics I want back on the iPhone in addition to the Camera Roll
folder. Still wish I could figure out why the orientation of pics sometimes
requires editing for correction. Knowing how to use a screen shot to
repair orientation has helped alot though. To be continued.
