Missing sent emails in mail 6.3

Using Mail 6.3 and a gmail.imap account. My sent emails are missing from my macbook pro but can view them at mail.google.com and on my iphone and ipad. How do I set up my mail account to display the missing sent emails?

Hi APK25,
If your Sent messages aren't showing up where you expect them to, you may want to take a look at the following article:

  • Has anybody experienced missing sent emails after updating their iPhone to IOS 5.0?  Mail composed on phone appears to send but is never delivered nor does it show in sent items. Using Exchange 2010. Any thoughts??

    @Satterp
    Not sure if you were responding to me or OP - my iPhone is on 5.1.  The OP at the time of writing was on 5.0.1.
    Also, the OP and I had setup our Hotmail as an Exchange server (similar to IMAP), not POP3.

  • Missing sent emails

    Hi
    it's my first time writting a topic here, but I just want to know if I am the only stupid in the world suffering this problem.
    I have configured my Mobileme IMAP account on mail Mail.app 3.6
    I have changed the smtp server with the configuration of my office email, so when I send an email it seems I do it from my office email account.
    Until there everything works perfect.
    But, every now and then, when I send an email, it won't be saved in the sent folder. It is actually sent (because I have answers to the email) but it just won't appear in the sent folder.
    This is very inconvenience to me, because sometimes, the sent email is the proof of e.g. a booking or whatever, and I need the email ....
    I have been fighting against this problem for months, and I don't know if this is a Leopard problem, a Mail.app problem, a Internet connection problem, a general IMAP problem, a configuration problem , a mobileme problem...
    A couple years ago, I used to use entourage as mail software, and I don't remember having this problem, although I don't remember either if the account was configured as an IMAP account.
    I have partially found a "solution" setting me always as a Cco, and making a rule that all emails coming from my address have to be moved to a folder I have created (sentbackup). So I always have a copy, but this is just more trafic, more space,...
    Is this happening to anyone alse? do you experts know what could be the problem?
    I would really apprecite if you help me on this
    Muchas gracias and greetings from Spain!

  • Missing Sent Messages in Mail 2.1.3

    In Mail 2.1.3 on OS 10.4.11 the sent messages just disappeared on my POP accounts. The emlx files are not in the Library/Mail/account/Sent Messages mbox. Is there a way to find them or are they gone premanently? I have tried rebuilding the mailboxes, restarting, searching the hard drive for them. All mailboxes are set to never automatically delete. The messages are just gone. Any help?

    Yes, you can quit Mail then move those back.
    It does sound like they're really gone then.

  • Can't sent email with Mail.app

    When attempting to send outgoing mail from Mail I get this warning.
    "The attempt to read data from the server “mailhub.une.edu.au” failed.
    You can try to send using a different server. All messages will use this server until you quit or change your network settings."
    I've tryed to solve this by deleting all the server and email info, and re entering it. I had thought that that may fix the situation (I had also at various time switched authentication on and off and changed the port from 25 to 587) But I still am getting a failure message as shown above. I have also put the outgoing mail as the networs SMTP serve.
    Can someone help me. It s a pain to have to go to the .mac site and log in each time I want to send my emails.

    No, we cannot eliminate all those things, not by a long shot!
    A very important question I asked was: In Mail, is your Username appended to the name of the SMTP, or not? Please answer. You should also ask your ISP if the form of Authentication for their SMTP will result in the name of the SMTP being appended with your Username. Have you found any support pages that show this for any other mail client, on any other computer platform?
    It does not matter what you do with regard to any other SMTP server, until you determine how to make the one with the ISP work with Mail, or with Th'bird, because any third party SMTP must relay to that of the ISP, and if it does work the one for your Webhost will also not work!

  • How to sent emails in Mail 5 threads as default

    Hi everybody,
    I really like new Apple 5, the feature I mostly like is the threaded display of emails. Often I need to see what I answered, but each time I have to "show related messages" to do that.
    Is it possibile to lock this feature on?

  • Mail Receipt of sent email

    How can I get a receipt of sent emails in Mail and Leopard?

    If you had used [email protected] you would certainly not get a response!
    Not all email applications pay attention to the receipt request; those that do generally allow the user to decide whether or not to acknowledge receipt. To test whether it is working, open one of your sent messages and view the full headers and see if the disposition notification header is there with your correct email address.

  • HT204075 Sent emails disappear no spam button

    I have OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 on a new mac book air early 2015, missing sent emails, I have yahoo mail, also spam button is grayed over does not work? I do know that my email did go through but I have no record of it.  As a temporary fix I send myself a bc of any emails that are very important to me,  this doesn't happen to every email only happens randomly.  However the spam thumbs down is grayed over and does not work.

    Yes. In normal situations sent messages should be visible. Also is "Save copies of messages in the Sent Items folder" option marked for that mailbox: http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/outlook-2010/messages-arent-saved-in-the-sent-items-folder/?

  • Cannot send email in mail app. using POP account with Wi-Fi

    I recently moved to an apartment that only has wireless internet access. Since moving I cannot send email using my POP account, although I can receive email. I was also not able to receive email using my .mac account, but I learned through this forum to change server port to 587 in .mac account and now I can send via .mac account in mail app. But I still cannot sent email with mail app. using my POP account. I changed no settings when I moved, and have never had this problem with cable. Any suggestions?

    It all depends on the policy of whoever is the ISP at your new location and the method used by the outgoing (SMTP) server to determine whether you’re a legitimate user.
    In an attempt to fight spam, many ISPs restrict the ability to send using an outgoing (SMTP) server not owned by them, usually by blocking port 25 for all traffic outside their own network, which means you cannot send with an SMTP server not owned by them if configured to use that port number. And it may happen the other way around as well, i.e. the outgoing server itself may look at the IP address you’re connecting from and refuse the connection if you’re outside its own network.
    Something that often works is changing the outgoing server port to 587 (or whatever alternate port number the outgoing server listens to) instead of 25 and using some form of authentication in Preferences > Accounts > Account Information > Outgoing Mail Server > Server Settings, but two conditions must be satisfied for this change to work: (1) the ISP must not block that port as well AND (2) the outgoing server in question must listen to that port and accept a form of authentication not based on the IP address you’re connecting from.
    Independent mail service providers not tied to a particular ISP, such as .Mac and Gmail, do allow authenticated SMTP access on port 587, which is the reason changing the outgoing server port number solves the problem for them if the ISP doesn’t block that port as well.
    The following article, for example, describes several ways to address this issue in the case of .Mac, but can be useful for other mail accounts as well (not just .Mac), and applies to all versions of Mac OS X (not just Mac OS X 10.4.2 and earlier as the article states):

  • Sent emails are missing from Thunderbird following migration from alternative email client and import of emails

    All sent emails are missing from the Thunderbird 'Sent' folder following import, but Sent folder still shows a count of the imported emails (Thunderbird considered them to be unread when importing them, hence the count). The messages are also visible online (BT Internet email) and on other devices (Android running BlueMail). Settings are set to place copies of sent items into Sent folder. Having imported all my old email, I can send email but again they do not appear in the Sent folder (but do appear online and on other devices). I have tried compacting the Sent folder and i have tried repairing the folder. All other folders (Inbox, other newly created folders) show the email i have imported.
    If I move an email online from the Sent folder to another test folder, it syncs and appears in Thunderbird in that test folder. If I then use Thunderbird to move the email back from that test folder to the Sent folder then Thunderbird will do so, but locks up for a good minute or so while doing that.
    Running TB 24.6.0 on Windows 8.1, incoming server set to IMAP on mail.btinternet.com (port 993), outgoing server set to SMTP on mail.btinternet.com (port 465).
    Help gratefully received!

    Cheers for that, Mulder.
    It did seem to recover some emails which had disappeared from Mail, but not all of them. That's the frustrating thing - short of going through my Yahoo webmail accounts and logging every single email, and then cross-referencing with what's on my desktop, I just can't be sure what's there and what's not!
    Sometimes it's immediately clear that something is awry - the folder I use for emails from my girlfriend is completely empty, for instance, when I definitely had things in there before the weekend. (Yes, again I went away for the weekend, with the computer still running - and Mail on - and again I returned to discover emails missing.
    Arrgh!

  • Old "sent emails" are MISSING

    I've been using me.com since 2008, back then it was a paid service. When the time came, I switched to iCloud, no problem, I enjoy the service. Recently I need to find some sent emails during the period of mid-2011 then I realized that my "Sent" folder only records sent emails from May 2012 (which I think around the time I switched to iCloud, perhaps June 2012). Older emails are MISSING. I'm using Mail in my iMac but when I tried to login to www.me.com or www.icloud.com, and accessed my "Sent" folder, it's the same. Strangely enough, my emails in "Inbox" (both in my iMac & at the server) are intact, only those in "Sent" folder are missing.
    Anyone has any idea what's going on? Is there a chance I could get my old emails (pre-May, 2012)? Thanks.

    I've been using Mail (currently 4.6 (1085)) to handle all my emails including my Gmail account. Yes, I did migrate, I remember changing some settings through the web but I don't recall changing things in my Mail setting. Perhaps, I did, I'm not sure. I attach a screen capture of my Mail settings:
    Yes, it's foolish to have no backup. I've been using TimeMachine with TimeCapsule for quite some time now. I think I switched from MM to iCloud around June 2012, when it was close to deadline. Does my attached picture answer your question about the server setting?

  • Sent emails missing spaces

    Hi i am currently using Apple Mail 2.1.3 to send and receive emails. Pretty much since the day i have been using this all my clients have complained that when they receive emails sent from me a lot of the words are joined together and missing spaces. But looking in my sent box they look fine to me.
    having tested this a bit further in my office i am the only mac user but my colleagues use a PC and have no problem with sent emails.
    Does anyone have a solution to this problem?
    thanks,
    Martin

    Hi i changed the font to a standard default (arial) but no suck luck still. I can't have plain text emails as company policy to have a coloured footer.
    Here is an example of how one of my clients received an email i sent them. Again most of my clients have this problem with me.

  • Missing Sent Mail in Lion Mail

    Since I upgraded to Lion a few days ago, I have not been able to view the text of recently sent messages. For replies, the reply icon shows up and a message pops up when the icon is clicked, but the body perpetually "loads" and nothing displays. This same behavior happens when I double-click a sent email - the body perpetually loads. Older sent messages load fine.
    This morning I rebuilt my Sent mailbox to see if it would show my sent mail bodies. Now I am missing most of my sent mail. Oddly, a few recent sent mails show up fine.
    I had thousands of sent emails from all my interaction with clients and such. I really need these back. I use an Earthlink POP account. Any thoughts?
    Thanks,
    Scott

    Update: I just replied to a new incoming email. I clicked the reply icon which brought up the message in a new window, but my reply body is perpetually loading. In went to view the message in my Sent mailbox. It is there, but I see no body preview in the list or the preview pane. I get only the spinning gear and "Loading..."
    Help.

  • In Mail where can i find my sent emails? How do I open this send box?

    In Mail how do I open the send box? I need to find and forward my sent emails.

    If you hold the iPad in landscape orientation you should see your email account id (or Mailboxes if you only have one email account set up on the iPad) shown top left. Tap on your account id (or Mailboxes), and then tap on Sent to show your Sent emails. You should then be able to select an email and Reply/Reply All/Forward/Print them via the arrow icon top right.
