Missing Gmail 'Sent' Folder

Have several times, clicked Manage Folder Subscriptions > Refresh
... and then re-started Thunderbird.
Of course, the Sent folder does display on the Gmail site.
Sometimes folders come and go, but can't make this one come back.
Ideas?
Thanks much.

The folder is never empty-- can't answer that question.
BTW, the folder is now displaying ugh

Gmail ''sent folder'' missing...

hi guys !
i just set up my Apple Mail ( gmail pop account ? i think... ) it ''imported'' some 3000 emails other people wrote to me in the last three years or so but not a single one of the 2000+ i wrote/sent to others in the same period of time !?...
i've been around the Gmail settings page, looked around in the Mail menus but saw nothing that indicated being able to import this ''Gmail Sent Email Folder'' from Gmail over to my iMac...
what am i doing wrong ? any help would be VERY appreciated, thanks in advance
Nuno

hi ernie
well i'm afraid there's not much else, as i said i enabled POP in the gmail settings page then clicked the save button. then back to Apple Mail, went through the necessary steps when you first open Mail , you know : username, password & so on...basically i followed the indications written on Gmail about setting up POP accounts in Mail. when i was done with all that, Mail started ''receiving'' packs of 300 or 400 emails at a time until it had all of them in.
being quite stubborn, after i posted here i went back & realized they where ALL mixed up together : the emails people wrote to me & the ones i wrote to them so, to get those in my Sent folder, i went to the mail menu, selected view --> sort by --> from & Mail organized emails by name of sender alphabetically, then all i had to do was select all that had my name as sender, right click & select move to--> sent --> gmail & as by magic, it all fell into place.
i feel i have done something NOT the right way at all but am happy i manage to get it as i wanted, i had tried the imap set-up before & hated how Mail behaved & clutter of Mails interface with things i just don't use or want to use, you know ?
anyway many thanks for trying & sorry for the bother
cheers

Mail I sent from Blackberry isn't appearing in gmail sent folder?

I sent an email from my blackberry.. then shortly after I hit 'delete prior' messages to clear up my messages. The mail I sent never appeared in my 'sent' folder on gmail as it usually always does when I send a mail. Did the person get it? Or did it not receive b/c I hit delete prior?
thank you

Items from Gmail Sent folder not imported to Apple Mail during IMAP setup

Hi,
I just set up IMAP for my Gmail account. Now, although my Inbox folder got copied over to Apple Mail, the Sent folder did not.
Anyone know how I can copy this over too? Its just that I have lots of flagged items that I occasionally reference from the Sent folder.
Thanks.

I'm presuming you have webmail access? In the webmail environment, can you move those messages into another folder or into the inbox itself, then connect in the Mac Mail.app environment, the mailboxes/folders will synchronize, then drag-and-drop them into the Sent folder? And make sure that in Mail's Prefs, you have the "Store Sent Mail on server" checkbox checked?

Syncing Gmail Sent Folder

I just setup my gmail account as IMAP with mac mail. It synced my inbox but won't sync with my sent folder. Help please!

Ok... How about this...
Go to Gmail online. Login to your account, then: SETTINGS > LABELS. Now set the "Show" and "Hide" options for the various folders.
Make sure to QUIT Mail and then restart it after this...
Anything?

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

I just purchased GW mail 2.27 and upgraded to 2.28. In the folder section, I do not show a sent folder.

I purchased GW mail 2.27and upgraded to 2.28. In my folder section I am missing the sent folder. I tried rebooting the app but it did not work Still missing the sent folder. I contacted support and they say to hit the home button twice and look for GW ail hold the app until it quivers and a red minus line appears on the top left. I tapped the red minus sign and then the home button and the app was supposed to reboot but, still no sent folder.
I then turned the it off completely and waited. Turned on again and still no sent folder.
Anyone have a good suggestion that work? Or who can I contact to get my money back?
Thanks

Thank you for your help, but a "possible" and a "maybe" for an answer does not help me find or get my sent folders for my accounts.
I had sent folders on all of my accounts in Thunderbird before, in a way earlier version.

Why does mail sent using the MacOSX mail client not show up in my sent folder when I access my Gmail account in a browser?

I've recently started using my first Mac, and I hooked my work email (Forwarded to Google Mail) and my personal email (Gmail) into the MacOSX mail client. Everything seemed to be going smoothly, until I noticed that sent mail from my work email through the MacOSX Mail client is not showing up in my sent box on any other clients. Sent mail does show up in my personal email in Gmail, though.
Can anyone help me understand why mail sent from the MacOSX Mail client doesn't end up in the sent folder of my work Gmail account? I suspect it has something to do with the forwarding-to-Google process -- a sort of "too many cooks in the kitchen" situation. Has anyone heard of this problem before? What should I try?

I've been noticing that too. Just told me there were 6 outgoing messages, even though I did not create any new messages.
One hypothesis is that it's generating those messages when a rule moves an email from one folder to another.
Can someone at Apple confirm this?

Duplicate Messages in Sent Folder--Apple mail and gmail

I recently started using apple mail for my two gmail accounts.
I have properly configured all folders (highlight "trash" from gmail and click use this mailbox for..)
since i have two gmail accounts, i did this for both of them.
i did a couple of test emails from my main gmail account. now, in my sent folder it's showing duplicates for what i've sent, one from my main gmail account, one from my second gmail account.
I've tried to uncheck the box where it saves messages on server in preferences, and that seemed to work. however, i checked on my iphone and my sent message showed up..not in my main gmail account sent mail, but in my secondary gmail account sent mail.
can this be fixed?

check out the settings here: http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=78892#
specifically:
From the Mail menu, click Preferences > Accounts > Mailbox Behaviors
Drafts:
Store draft messages on the server > do NOT check
Sent:
Store sent messages on the server > do NOT check
Junk:
Store junk messages on the server > checked
Delete junk messages when > Never
Trash:
Move deleted messages to the Trash mailbox > do NOT check
Store deleted messages on the server > do NOT check

Mail and Gmail IMAP: duplicates in sent folder

Hi there,
I recently set up my Gmail account for IMAP and configured Mail.app accordingly. I have several mail accounts which all get directed over my Gmail account. It all works fine, but whenever I send a mail from Mail.app from one of my mail accounts, it appears twice in my sent folder in Mail.app (it's not sent twice, I checked that, and it appears normally in the sent folder of the web interface).
It's seriously clucttering my sent folder, does anybody have an idea how to fix this? Maybe a problem with labels?
Help greatly appreciated,
J

Anyone? No idea?

I have set up 4 email accounts. Two are gmail and they show only old messages in sent folder - even when messages have been sent from this ipad.

I tried deleting and re-entering the accounts, but problem with sent folder still occurs

I found this in another discussion in the box on the right >>>>> More like this.
Substitute whatever your email account's name is where it states Comcast and see if this helps. The settings would be the same on an IPad as on an iPhone.
Go into Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>and select the Comcast account. From there look at the Outgoing Mail Server. It shoudl list the Comcast SMTP server. Touch that button and it will take you to another settings page for SMTP. It will show you the Primary SMTP server along with other SMTP servers. If the gmail server is listed there, then you can touch on it and turn it off. That should take care of it. The iPhone will try and use the SMTP server you have listed for a particular mail account, however, if that server is unavailable, it will take the next one on the SMTP list until it gets to one it can use.

I sent photos out of my IPhoto library, but they do not appear in my "Sent" folder on my GMail although that mail account was in the "From" field?

If you're using iPhoto as your email client a sent version is not created. You need to BCC yourself in order to get a copy.
The better solution is to use Mail as your email client in conjunction with Gmail. This will give you a sent copy, better access to your contacts and, if so desired, photo templates to use via Mail's stationary feature.

Gmail mail in iCloud sent folder

Hi, I just set up my mail on my new mac but for some reason all my Gmail sent mail is also in my iCloud sent mail folder, its also like this when I acess my mail through the iCloud website, how do I fix this ?
- thanks

At a guess you have configured the Mail app so that GMail uses the iCloud outgoing server, check your smtp settings in Mail.

"Sent" folder in Mail doesn't sync with "Sent" folder on Gmail. PLEASE HELP!!!!

I am completely stumped by this and really REALLY frustrated.
I can't figure out how to make the "sent" folder in mail (i.e the one with the paper plane icon) contain ALL my sent messages from Gmail.
It works perfectly fine on my iPhone and iPad but just not mail on my mac!!!
I am using Mail version 4.5 and Snow Leopard.
PLEASE someone HELP!!!
Thanks

I'm new here so you'll have to bear with me if my explanation needs work!
I suspect that your problem may be that your Mac is storing the sent stuff on the local folder (probably hapening with junk and trash too???) If this is the case then...
Make sure you have the correct IMAP path prefix - entered in Mail Preferences > Accounts > Advanced - I believe that the prefix you need is Gmail
Quit Mail so it doesn't interfere with what you're doing,
Open ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist with the Property List Editor
Take a back up copy (I saved mine to desk top) of com.apple.mail.plist
Look for the key named MailAccounts and click the arrow to expand it
you should see all your accounts indexed as 0, 1, 2, etx
Find your IMAP accounts (check that the key AccountType is IMAPAccount)
Find the key SentMessagesMailboxName and change it to Gmail/Sent (substitute INBOX for IMAP Path Prefix if incorrect)
Find the key TrashMailboxName and change it to Gmail/Trash
I think I had to do the same with junk too
Hope that is of some use or at least makes enough sense :-)
