Messages not in my sent box

I sent a message from my wife's iPad using my bt account . When I look on my laptop the message does not appear in my sent folder. Same happens when I use apple mail to send an e mail. What is wrong?

Sent message not listed in 'Sent' box

My mail server is AOL. In Mail, I've got two sets of mailboxes per the default setup - my local in, sent and trash along with the AOL saved, sent and spam boxes from the AOL server.
The AOL boxes are always spot on, yet occasionally I will send a message and it won't appear in my local sent box. It happens sporadically.
How and why is this happening?
Thank you.

As an experiment, I tried deleting my Sent box (after archiving the things I cared about) and got no error msg re. "protected" boxes or anything else. Mail deleted the few remaining msgs from it but, instead of deleting the Sent box, added a superfluous toggle, i.e., as if it contained sub-boxes, which it didn't. Thereafter, I could send but no copies appeared in the Sent box. (Sound oddly similar?) "Rebuild" was grayed out for it, too.
I was able to correct everything by trashing the associated folder, restarting Mail, and then sending myself another msg to create a new Sent box for myself.
I'm suspecting a glitch created an extra, problematic Sent box on your system sometime ago and you've gotten used to it, thinking it's normal.
Do you find it useful to have 2 Sent boxes? If not, you may be able to delete one the same way I did and your problem should be solved.
I'm unclear as to how to determine which files to delete in home/library/mail.
Here's my Mail window:
Home/Library/Mail/Mailboxes:
Home/Library/Mail/[email protected]:

That changes things a little bit , login to icloud.com and see if you can find it in your sent folder.
If it is there you did send, just need to wait until you phone syncs "sent folder" perhaps on wifi.
If it is not, then I would say it is lost and you may have to send again. They have 20 megs limit, so make sure that message plus attachment is under that limit.

Messages sometimes not appearing in Sent box

Some emails are not being put into my Sent box.
I have noticed that these sometimes are ones with attachments - but not all emails with attachments suffer from the problem.
I know that the emails are being sent as the recipients are replying to the email and I can see the email OK.
Any ideas why this is happening?

Who is the provider of this account? Where do server-stored mailboxes appear in Mail? Do they appear as subfolders of the account’s Inbox maybe?
If server-stored mailboxes appear as subfolders of the account’s Inbox in Mail, this account requires INBOX to be typed in Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > IMAP Path Prefix for Mail to manage and display its mailboxes properly. After having done that, Mail should be able to save messages on the server, but maybe in a mailbox different from where you want them to be. To fix that, select the desired folder in Mail and choose the appropriate option from Mailbox > Use This Mailbox For.

Sent messages not going to sent folder

I know this has been asked a bunch of times. This IPAD was purchased in May 2010.
When I go to the sent box on the IPAD it shows the same emails as are in the inbox, but no sent messages I sent via the IPAD.
I've read through all the emails discussion boards and can't find any suggestions that work. The email account is a secondary user on the MAC, so I'm not sure if that's an issue.
I've started blind copying myself to get the messages to the MAC, but is there a way to keep them in the IPAD SENT folder?

Firefox doesn't do email, it's strictly a web browser.
If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". You need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.
If your problem is with Mozilla Thunderbird, let us know and we can move this thread to the Thunderbird queue. This question currently is in the Firefox queue for answers.

Emails sent from device not show in "Sent Box" and "BIS" issue

Dear All and Rim:
New to BB world, needed following help...
AOL mail box had connect with "Tour" successfully, service provided by Verizon.
Mails sent from device are not show in AOL "Sent Box" nor Outlook Express's "IMAP" / "POP" server's Outgoing "SMTP" folder.
Truly need copies to "Sent Box", Thanks for help!!
Also try to set up "BIS" accout, error message said:
"Your Account is not accessible via HTML Browser..
Please use your device to access Black Berry Internet Service"
I used this link:
https://bis.na.blackberry.com/html?brand=vzw
Thanks you,
Jan
Solved!
Go to Solution.

So for the mail issue seems sending myself a copy is the only way to go, right?
That would be a solution.
And about the BIS, my try was on a PC, it didnt work... Anyway, i was going to log on to the BIS to work on my issue above, but seems it doesnt help now, so it doesnt matter if i can sign up or not.
Well, that's entirely odd...I just used that link myself (from a PC) and get into my BIS account just fine. You can, however, use the device interface to BIS -- watch that demo I provided you above for instructions on that. BIS is merely a service, provided by your carrier. The PC/website method and the device interface -- those are simply two different interfaces into the same service, so using one or the other doesn't matter...they result in the same thing.
Good luck!

Cannot delete or move emails and outgoing emails not saving to SENT box half the time. CAUSED by AVAST internet security.

Often, though not always, when I open THUNDERBIRD I'm not able to delete or move messages. I need to close the program and reopen. Similarly, when sending emails, sometimes things works smoothly and sometimes they hang up on saving to the SENT box. Apparently they DO get sent but I can't keep a copy. If I close and reopen, then it works as it should.
I'm running Windows 8.1, AVAST internet security, and Thunderbird 24.3.

Jim, Hopefully one of the Thunderbird experts will be along soon (I don't use Thunderbird) but before uninstalling Avast you may want to check the [http://forum.avast.com Avast forums] to see if other Windows 8 users are reporting Thunderbird issues. I did a search there and found:
*http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=146209.msg1061157#msg1061157 ''Thunderbird hangs in Win 8.1 during SAVE (to Draft folder)''
I also found the following, in case it helps:

Sent messages not saved in sent mailbox

Lately some iCloud sent messages are not saved in the sent mailbox. this is an intermitant problem. sometimes msgs go to the outbox even though mail is on line; when they are eventually sent sometimes they do not make it to the sent mailbox. I call the recipient and the msg has actually been received. The lost messages do not appear in iCloud. Rebuild does not help. any suggestions?

Tks for your answer. I have a .Mac account and in already try in Preferences-Accounts- and I only see three tabs: " Account Information ", " Mailboxes Behaivor " and " Advanced ". I don´t see the " Special Mailboxes " tab that you mention and I have also read about it. In Mailboxes Behaivor I can choose the option " Store sent messages on the server " and the Delete sent messages option is in " Never". If I choose not to Store sent messages on the server, nothing seems to happen. I hope you can help me with this information and I want to thank you again

Some emails I send are arriving with attachments but with no text in the body of the message. In the sent box my emails look OK. So it took me a while to know this was happening.

I have an Apple Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 with a 2.7 GHZ Intel Core 15 Processor. 8GB Memory.
Just discovered that some emails I have sent with attachments have arrived with the attachments OK but my message has disappeared from the email. In the Sent box, the email looks OK with message intact. Has anyone else experienced this? No idea what to do.

This is the Mac Pro desktop forum.
In the received message does the subject appear correctly?
Is just the body message field blank?
What app is the recipient using?
Can they try another pp?
Is there anything strange in the body? Like special characters?

Some SENT emails do not appear in SENT box

I have the latest Mavericks OS x operating system and fully updated. Some email I send do not appear in the SENT box. It is infuriating. I do not know whether they have reached their destination until I get a reply. Somestime I don't get a reply so where has the email gone. I have search all boxes, turned email accounts off and on, shut down my PC but still this problem persists. I have an iPad and a 5s iPhone and this problem does not occur with these devices so it is not account problem. I am with SKY YAHOO. Derek

Downloading the new operating system Yosemite seems to have cleared this problem - for now !

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.

Redirected mail does not appear in Sent Box

When I redirect an email, it does not show up in my Sent Box. Is this a bug or a feature? As it is now, I have no record of to whom or when I redirected emails.
Thanks!

No, this bug occurs when I "redirect" an email. Forwarding is OK.

Sent mail not showing in sent box

The last few days emails that I send through my Yahoo account seem to sit in the drafts folder after I hit send and not move over to the sent folder. Lately they are not appearing in either box, yet the recipients are receiving the mail.
Sometimes the emails just stay in drafts no matter what I do or how many times I resend. And yes, the recipients are receiving multiple copies.
If anyoe has experienced this or can offer assistance I would appreciate it much.
Thank you,

Thank for the tip. the server appears to match and it is in fact online.
Still having the same issues. I appreciate your help.
Anyone else have a suggestion?

Emails not showing in sent box since downloading Yosemite

Anyone else with such a problem and how to resolve it? Seems to be a problem with emails with more than one or two attachments - using Blueyonder.

Hi
I hope you've resolved this, but for anyone having this problem, which I also had, look here: http://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/community-support/email/emails-sent-from- my-ipad-do-not-show-in-sent-mail
Basically, you need to go into the account settings, then advanced settings on iPad and set mailbox behaviours to link to the boxes on the server.

Mail Messages Sent but not Stored in Sent Box

As of this morning I have sent probably a dozen or more e-mails but none of them are appearing in my Sent Messages Box. I have tried using both of my computers to send e-mails (which sync via .mac) and I have looked on .mac using my web browser but there is no record that the e-mails were sent (although is appears that they are going through). Any suggestions

Report the names of the files and folders present at the first level of the ~/Library/Mail/ folder in the Finder.
In order to post the exact file names and avoid typing mistakes, proceed as follows. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/. With that folder open, if you’re looking at it in View > as List mode, first collapse any expanded folders so that the Finder only shows the files and folders at the first level of ~/Library/Mail/. Now, do Edit > Select All (⌘A), then Edit > Copy (⌘C), and paste it in your reply to this post.
Before actually posting that information, edit it so that the file/folder names do not reveal any details you should keep private, e.g. replace any real username with “username” to hide your real email address. Other than that, report the file/folder names as accurately as possible.
Now, go to ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/. With that folder open, repeat the procedure to let me see the names of the files and folders it contains. Again, you may disguise any mailbox names you wish to keep private. Be careful to not alter any suffixes, though.
Finally, report the names of the files and folders present at the first level of the ~/Library/Mail/Mac-username/ account folder.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. That is, ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder, i.e. /Users/username/Library.
