No progress wheel for Sent folder?

What would cause there to be no progress wheel for sending mail? On my mom's PowerBook when she sends an email there is no indication that it's working. She has to wait until she hears the sent mail sound to be sure it worked. On my Mail I get a progress wheel. I've checked all her settings and can't figure out what's causing the difference. She's running the latest version of Tiger.

I just enabled the "store messages on server" selection on my mac mail for the same issue. I wanted my sent items viewable on all computers as I had before. I think it must have changed during the "mobile me" switchover.
Now that I have made that selection, all my "sent" mail disappeared immediately, but I found it all further down in my Left Column folder area, in a section called " On My Mac" I found another sent messages folder. They all went there from my .mac account, when I selected "store a copy on server" . I have now sent off my first new message from my .mac account, and it shows up as the only "sent" message, on all computers with my account. All the other messages are in the other folder, described above.
Definitely something changed with the "mobileme" migration and it's not quite right. It's light starting over again.
But in my case the messages are there, just in a different location.

  • Messages sent on device do not show up on Mac in ICloud Sent folder - Why?

    When I send a message on my IPad, it shows up on the Cloud, but does not appear in my Sent folder in Mail on my Mac ICloud mail account

    Joelrsny had the much easier fix:
    For Sent folder not showing on the iPhone.
    ALL of these ways work to add a Gmail account to the iPhone. Its not how you add it, its the settings in Gmail causing these folders not to appear.
    Do not add the account to the iPhone first. Go to Gmail.com in a browser, log in to your email account and hit settings at the top right.... Select the Labels Tab at the top. On the right, you will see check boxes. Check all the folders you want to appear in imap accounts. Once you check them, go and add the account by just picking add Gmail account on your iphone settings for mail. ALL the folders you checked will appear...
    Done!

  • I have an iMac running Yosemite 10.10.1 & Outlook 2011 for Mac.  For a while, sent emails went to a sent folder on the iMac so I have a collection of sent emails there.  How can I move them to a sent box on my server so I can see them on other devices?

    I have an iMac 3.2 GHz Intel Core i5 with 16 GB memory and 1.12 TB storage running Yosemite 10.10.1 & Outlook 2011 for Mac.  For a while, sent emails went to a sent folder on the iMac so I have a collection of sent emails there.  I have attempted to move those sent emails from the iMac to my email server (IMAP), but without success.  Is there a way to move them to a sent box on my server so I can see them on other devices?  Many thanks for any help you can provide.

    Go to: Apple > System Preferences > Universal Access and in the Seeing tab make sure that the Display Enhance contrast: is set to Normal.
    Alternatly, try holding the  ⌃⌥⌘ (control command alt) keys and then pressing the , (comma) key a few times.

  • TS3276 After updating software yesterday, noticed that sent emails are not showing up in Sent Folder for one of my accounts.

    After updating software yesterday, noticed that sent emails are not showing up in Sent Folder?

    Are you storing Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk messages on the server via your .Mac account with Mail?
    If so, do you access your .Mac account with an email client on another computer or regularly access your account via webmail on another computer?
    If not, any other reason you need to store Drafts and Sent messages on the server?
    While composing a message with Mail, it is temporarily saved in the account's Drafts mailbox so sounds like something went wrong with the process between finishing and sending the message with Drafts and Sent being stored on the server.
    If you don't have any need for this, better to store Drafts and Sent messages locally on the hard drive with Mail.

  • Can anyone suggest an app to download for SMS messaging for iphone 3G as the message application factory installed is pretty useless and doesnt keep your sent messages in a sent folder

    Many thanks

    Why do you need a Sent folder?  iOS's Messaging interface lays each conversation out like a chat or IM.  Personally, I find that much more convenient.

  • Unable to sync Sent Folder for Exchange Account

    Hi,
    on my MacBook Pro I am using Mail to get my mails from an Exchange account. The problem is that I don't get all Sent messages in the Folder Sent.
    On my iMac everything is working fine. When open the dialog "Account Info" on my iMac I see that there are 3000 message in the Sent folder. When I open the same dialog on my MBP I am getting the information that there are just 7 messages in this "Mailbox"
    Please, please, help
    regards

    Is there a folder under the Exchange IMAP mailboxes called Sent or Sent Items?
    I'm not talking about at the top of the list where the Inbox, Sent, Junk etc resides, but towards the bottom of the mailbox list where all your IMAP account mailboxes are.
    If so, select that folder and slect Use this mailbox for Sent from the Mailbox menu.

  • Default sent folder for IMAP

    Hi all,
    i bought recently a used iBook and therefore I am using my IMAP mail account now from my mini (OSX 10.4) and my iBook (OSX 10.3). Somehow the default name for the folder of sent message must have been changed between these two releases.
    While 10.4 (Mail 2.1.3) stores everthing in a folder called 'sent' the iBook with Mail (1.3.11) stores mails in 'sent messages'. Any idea on how to change this behaviour?
    Thanks,

  • HT1529 how can I open the outbox for mail? That is, mail that i have finished and pressed 'send' but has not appeared in the 'sent' folder

    how can I open the outbox for mail? That is, mail that i have finished and pressed 'send' but has not appeared in the 'sent' folder

    The reason it will not be in the sent folder is, it failed to send.
    If it failed to send, then you will see the Outbox icon. 'Pending' would be a more descriptive name.
    When it eventually sends, the Outbox will not show in the Mail app interface.
    Until it is sent it will stay stuck in the Outbox.
    If it refuses to send, you can manually delete it in Finder, at the location ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/Outbox.mbox
    Close Mail first, before you search for that email using the Finder.

  • 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.

  • No "sent" folder for exchange account in mail

    Hi There -
    I recently added a hosted Exchange account to the Mail client. Everything is working great, but I can't seem to find the "Sent" folder anywhere...I tried the dropdown folder list and it's not in there.
    Any suggestions?

    I had the same problem appear when I added a second exchange account into mac mail. I wanted my Sent email to pull from my primary email account. I deleted my primary account and re-added it. When it pulled all the messages in again, my Sent folder items came back.

  • Stuck at boot with spinning wheel for hours

    Hello,
    Yesterday I made a partition and cloned my Snow Leopard in order to see if Lion worked with the software I have.
    I then booted to my "backup Snow Leopard" partition and upgraded to Lion but for some reason I'm stuck with spinning wheel for hours when doing the first restart. According from the install.log it seems that the install (upgrade) was done properly.

    30 seconds after finishing the installation I restart and in verbose mode I get this log (sorry for the lousy quality, with was taken with my mobile).
    I've tried everything.
    Repaired permissions, disk.
    Resetting PRAM, NVRAM, SMC.
    I even left the MBP all night in this process to see if there was any progress. No luck.
    Tried to enter safe mode but I only get a black screen and a new restart. (Something like PRAM)
    What could be causing this?
    In the past when I installed Snow Leopard (10.6) I had some issues with my firewire (they stopped working a few months ago).
    I needed to boot to safe mode in order to finish the install of SL and remove these files from /System/Library/Extensions
    IOFireWireSerialBusProtocolTransport.kext
    IOFireWireAVC.kext
    IOFireWireFamily.kext
    IOFireWireIP.kext
    IOFireWireSBP2.kext
    Rebooting with this change shows that everything works properly (besides the dead firewire ports).
    I don't know if the "spinning wheel" has something to do with my FireWire or Airport (which works fine in SL).. since it got stucked in there.

    Finally!! I'm currently using Lion on my MBP.
    With the help from members and macrumors I got this solution.
    - Installed Snow Leopard on an external drive (by USB)
    - Updated that partition to Lion from another macbook (I used macbook white).
    After that I cloned the partition (without the FireWire kext files) with Carbon Copy Cloner to my MBP and... voila! :))
    I'm replying to your message from Lion. Give it a try! If you don't have another macbook maybe a friend can help you.
    I don't know if there's another method but this one is working!

  • Why does it now take 5 minutes to save to drafts or sent folder?

    Haven't changed anything, but in the last 3 days, I'm constantly interrupted in the middle of composing email while it freezes up and I get the blue waiting wheel when TB saves to drafts. I extended the amount of time between saves, but it still hangs up for about 5 minutes when it does save to drafts and while it's saving to my sent folder. I've rebuilt the global data base, instructed McAfee to leave it alone, disabled the McAfee add-on and restarted TB in safe mode (it's still a problem). I've also run virus protection programs, junk ware removal tool and de-fragmented my hard drive. And optimized it. And updated to the newest version of Thunderbird - now I'm at a loss to think of anything else. I'm running Windows 8 - any thoughts?

    McAfee. But I disabled the McAfee app in TB and also went into McAfee and unchecked Thunderbird.

  • Is there any way to have Mail automatically use our default "Sent" folder?

    We are a small college, with a fair number of users who use Macs and iOS devices, and we run an IMAP mail server. By default, our accounts are configured with Sent, Trash, Drafts, and Junk folders. Apple's Mail.app insists on "Sent Messages" and "Deleted Messages" rather than "Sent" and "Trash".
    We instruct our users to use the menu command Mailbox > Use This Mailbox For > commands to select our server's folders on their desktops, and on iOS to use the Settings > Mail > Account > Advanced, but this is tedious and annoying. Most users get it about half right, so that some devices use our default "Sent", and some use "Sent Messages". (This happens with Trash as well, but most users are not concerned if their Trash differs device to device.)
    Is there any server setting that can hint to Mail.app that it should use "Sent" rather than "Sent Messages"?
    Apple has a support document about this issue, "Mountain Lion Mail: If messages aren't stored where expected on the server" (  http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11810 ).
    However, that doc (and the similar one for Snow Leopard) merely says, "When Mail stores messages on the server, it looks for specific mailboxes, by name, in which to put the messages. If Mail doesn’t find those mailboxes on the server, it tries to create them on the server or, failing that, on your Mac."
    The document does not specify what the "specific mailboxes" are, and certainly does not suggest that there is any way to have it cooperate better with our server, but perhaps there is a way?
    (If I was trying to be a good IMAP client, I might look for any of "Sent", "Sent Messages", or "Sent Items", and use what I found before going to the next step of creating my own folder. Hard to imagine that any IMAP account would be initially configured without some "Sent" folder, so why not try to discover what the user has before pig-headly making your own.)

    Unfortunately, I have not found a consise way to explain this to the general user, just a huge wall of text to work around something that Apple got wrong the first time they created an IMAP client, and has stubbornly persited with. Here's our documentation for this silly problem:
    Special Folders on IMAP
    The basic idea is that all IMAP mail programs keep all your mail on our server, so that, e.g. when you read or reply to a message, all of your devices can then show that message as read and replied to.
    By convention, each IMAP program treats a few folders on the server as "Special", such as a "Trash" folder, that deleted messages get moved to, and a "Sent" folder, where each message you send gets copied. When they all pick the same special folders, all of your devices will show the same view of your mail. However, if different devices use different server folders for their "special" Sent folder, then the mail from these two devices will wind up in two different places, and be harder to find.
    Unfortunately, Apple's Mail programs are particularly obscure and obtuse in the way they treat these folders: They show their special Sent and Trash folders on screen with the obvious names "Sent" and "Trash", but secretly, under the covers, they insist on using folders named, "Sent Messages" and "Deleted Messages" instead. Even if the server already has perfectly usable "Sent" and "Trash" folders, Apple clients will ignore them and create their own special case "special" folders.
    If you only ever use Apple devices to look at your IMAP mail, you might never even notice their deception. But, if you sometimes use another mail client, such as webmail, you will encounter the confusing truth: When we created your account for the very first time, we add a "Sent" folder (actually named "Sent") and a Trash folder, named "Trash", and this is what everything except Apple's mail will use by default, because those folders are already their the first time the client connects to your account. However, even though Apple shows your special sent folder at the top of the list, with a paper-airplane icon, and labels it "Sent", in fact they ignore the existing "Sent" folder and make and use their own "Sent Messages."
    SO, if you send some mail from webmail, it will be in your actual "Sent" folder, whereas if you send it from an Apple mail program, it will be put into your "Sent Messages" folder. If you look into either "Sent" special folder, you'll only find part of your previously sent mail.
    Similarly for Trash, though most users find it more problematic to have two different Sent collections than to have multiple trash buckets.
    To unify things, you can either set your non-Apple mail programs to use "Sent Messages" and "Deleted Items"; OR, you can set all of your Apple devices to use "Sent" and "Trash". Doesn't really matter which way you go, though if a majority of your devices are doing it a particular way, you should change the non-matching devices to agree with the majority.
    (All clear so far? Why did Apple make this so hard? It would have been utterly simple for them to check for an existing "Sent" folder, and to use one if there is one, rather than to always stubbornly create and use a new "Sent Messages" folder. Then, they add to the problem by pretending that their new "Sent Messages" folder is really just named "Sent". Stupidity all the way down.)
    Anyways, to find out what the majority of your devices are doing, check them each to see which of the "sent" folders shows up in the "normal" list of folders rather than in the "special" location, that is, what folder name is in the list at the bottom of the folder area, rather than up at the special "Sent" icon, (because the special one will always be labeled "Sent", not matter what the actual folder name is).
    For example, say that on all-but-one of your mail setups, you see a "Sent Messages" folder down in the normal list, and on the other device, you see "Sent" down in the normal list.
    In that case, you'd want to set the "different" device to make the folder named "Sent" be the special one, instead of the "Sent Messages" that it was currently using.
    Conversely, if all but one showed "Sent" down in the regular folder area, and only one showed "Sent Messages", then you'd want to make "Sent Messages" the special folder on the odd device.
    Once you have decided, see the specific sections below for the procedure to set the "special" folders for Apple's Mail.app on a Mac, Apple's Mail on an iPhone/Pad/Pod, or for RoundCube webmail, or for Thunderbird.
    Once you have every device using the same sent folder, then you can move any messages from the "extra" version of the folder into your special folder, and then you can delete the extra folder. (If you delete this extra folder and it later re-appears, then it means one of your mail programs is still using it as its "special" folder, and recreating it.)
    Similarly for Trash, though probably you could delete the extra trash folder without moving the files, because they are trash.
    Here are the details for changing the Special Mail Folders on the systems we use:
    A) iPhone, iPad, iPod:
    As a first step, use Settings > Mail to set your device to read your email account, then open the Mail program so that it will read the list of all of your folders from the mail server. After that, go back to Settings > Mail to make sure it is using the desired special mailboxes on the server.
    Select your IMAP account in the settings tool, and then press the button for "Advanced" settings, and find the list of special mailboxes, e.g. Sent, Trash, Drafts. For each, scroll through the list of folders on the server to choose the folder you wish to use for that function.
    Note: iPhones/Pads/Pods also can be set to keep sent mail locally on the device. This is a spectacularly stupid choice for normal IMAP, as none of your other devices will be able to see the messages you send from your phone.
    B) Mail.app on Mac desktops and laptops:
    Set up mail so that it reads your messages and folders from the mail server.
    Select the "Sent" folder that you wish to use in the list of folders at the lower left of the mail window. (On newer Macs, the folders may be hidden by default. Use the "View > Show Folder List" menu command to display them if necessary.)
    Use the menu command "Mailbox > Use This Mailbox For > Sent" to specify that the selected mail box is the special folder for sent mail, and similarly for your Trash, Junk, or Drafts folders.
    C) RoundCube Webmail (with the standard skin):
    Login to your webmail site , and select the "Settings" icon in the upper right of the window, which has a "Gear" icon. This will display a "Settings" panel with buttons for "Preferences", "Folders", and "Identities" settings. When you first open the Settings panel, the "Section" panel shows a row of buttons for different Preferences.
    Click "Special Folders" in the "Section" list to open a list of "Drafts", "Sent", "Junk", and "Trash". Each special folder is followed by a menu of all your server folders. Select the server folder to use for each special folder.
    D): Thunderbird:
    After you have set up your connection to your IMAP account, click "Get Mail" to fetch your existing mail and list of folders on the server.
    Next, select the menu command "Options > Account Settings…" (Note that on current versions of Thunderbird, the default menu drops down from an icon of three horizontal bars, in the upper right corner of the mail window. You can use the Options command in this menu to display a menu bar at the top of the Thunderbird window if you wish. With the full menu, the menu command to access the special folders settings is "Tools > Account Settings…"
    Select "Copies and Folders" in the list at the left of the Account Settings window. This panel has a section for Sent mail, Archives, Drafts, and Templates. Select "Junk Settings" in the list at left to specify the location of the Junk special folder.
    For each special folder, the default choice is the the folder on the server with the "typical" name, e.g. "Sent" for sent, and "Trash" for trash. To use a different name, select the "Other:" option for the folder, and then choose the desired folder from the list of folders on the server.
    Oof! That's a lot of explaining for a issue that Apple should have gotten right in the first place, or at least should have fixed in their next several tries. It would not break any existing functionality if they merely used whatever folder the server had created, and only made their own if there was none.
