Hi,
Is the email account setup as POP, IMAP, or Exchange?
Try Restarting the iPhone by holding the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears> then slide to turn off> and turn the iPhone back on by pressing the Sleep/Wake again, as described on page 34 of the iPhone User Guide.

If the issue persists, try deleting the account from the iPhone and adding it again.

Email sent on my iphone 5 does not show in the sent folder in mail on my macbook pro and vice versa especially since update to Yosemite

I have an iphone 5 and a Macbook pro. Since upgrading to Yosemite, when I send an email from my yahoo email account or another email account linked to my website, on my iphone, the emails don't show in the sent folder in mail on my macbook pro and vice versa.
I have deleted the accounts and re-created them on both my iphone and macbook pro but the samething keeps happening.
When last I was at the istore, they were unable to sort it out and said I needed to book it in.
Any suggestions that will prevent me from booking my macbook pro in are welcome.

Hi,
Are you saying you are trying to synch iMessages across two iPhones ?
Or do you mean you are trying to get iMessage that were synced to one iPhone to show on another ?
Whilst the first is possible - from the date you add the second iPhone the second is not possible.

Is there any way to make the sent folder in mail list emails "to" instead of "from"

Is there any way to make the sent folder in mail list emails in the "to" order instead of "from".

Sure open Sent folder.
Just above first message is an icon titled Sort By Date followed by a downward pointing arrow.
Click on the arrow and select "To" from the list.

When using iphoto to e-mail photos the resulting e-mail doesn't show up in sent folder of mail.

There seems to be a an incompatibility within iphoto when you share images from within Iphoto using Apple Mail. The e-mail seems to send fine but when you try to go back and look for it in the sent folder of mail, it isn't there....
Also, when the recipient of the e-mail with the photos replies to your e-mail, the resulting reply that you receive in Apple Mail is not viewable. It shows up in the list of e-mails, but can not be opened...
Anyone else seeing these issues?

Nope - have not seen that complaint here are all
Just to verify - you are using Apple Mail? It does not sound like it. You set it in the iPhoto preferences. If you are using the default iPhoto mail rather than Apple mail then there is no sent folder and people on PCs may have trouble viewing the photos
If you are using Apple mail try exporting a photo and attaching it and try doing one using the Mail media browser and see - as far as mail is concerned there is no difference between starting the mail from iPhoto and starting it from 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 :-)

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

Send BCCs to self from iPhone to Sent folder in Mail

On my iPhone, I've enabled the option to always BCC myself on outgoing messages, so that I can have a copy stored on my computer (when I open Mail to grab messages) for archive purposes.
But it doesn't make much sense to have these messages from myself to myself showing up in my inbox. I want them to be in my Sent folder, which I can do manually via right-click > Move To... but I'd much rather this happen automatically.
I tried setting up a rule for this but there's option to screen based on a BCC recipient.
Any ideas?

Check out this link - it's in the "More Like This" box to the right of your post:
Rule for BCC
I just tried
{From} {Contains} emailaddress
and it seems to work.

How to access sent folder in mail?

couple of questions:
1) how to access sent mail folder to assure that mail has been sent?
2) how to attach a document to email?
3) how to create additional folders in mail?
using att wifi

I came across your post and thought I'd share Ivan54's post as an answer to your question:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/13103795#13103795
The main thing is that it should be on landscape view to access the folders in your email accounts.
Hope this helps.

Mail Sent from MacBook Air Doesn't Show Up in 'Sent' Folder in Mail in iPho

Mail sent from the MacBook Air does not show up in the iPhone 'Sent' Mail folder. Incoming mail shows up in both devices' inboxes. Is this normal?

You need to set the mailbox behavior:
Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendar -> .Mac/.Me -> Account Info -> Advanced
At "Mailbox Behaviors" you can choose if the "Drafts Mailbox", "Sent Mailbox", and "Deleted Mailbox" uses a mailbox "On My iPhone" or "On the Server".
Before you change the settings, move the mails in Mail.app from the Sent mailbox on your iPhone to a (temporarily created) folder on the MobileMe server. Then change the settings and move the mails from the previous step to the Sent mailbox on MobileMe. Now they all should be visible on your iPhone.

Is there any way to make the sent folder in mail list emails "to" instead of "from"; also when I select the 'sort by to' option I only see my own name

When using the new layout of Mail, the 'sent' list never shows the addressee (to). I only see my own name (which is pretty useless since I know I sent the messages...). I do not find the option to change this. In the classic layout, the 'sent' list shows the names of the addressees and any other feature I select under 'view'. What do I do wrong?

Mail & Yahoo: how can I get "Sent" folder to synch, like the "Inbox"?

Happy to be back in Mac, after 15yrs of corporate MS boredom. And TIA for your help with my little 'set-up' problem.
I'd like that my "Sent" mailbox (in Mail.app) mimic the functionality of my "Inbox" mailbox, as relates to my Yahoo!Plus email account. What do I mean? My Inbox associated with my Yahoo account, i.e. in the Mail sidebar under the higher-level Inbox mailbox, contains every email that was in my Inbox on the Yahoo server (and still is, since I chose not to "Remove a copy from the server after retrieving a message, in Mail>Prefs>Accts>Advanced pane).
But the "Sent" mailbox associated with my Yahoo account only contains the messages I send from the Mail application (clearly only when I choose to use the Yahoo account). Also, none of these messages appear in the Sent folder on the Yahoo server, i.e. when I go to the Yahoo site via a web browser, which I'll do when not carrying the Mac with me.
Otherwise, setting up Mail to work with Yahoo was a breeze. N.B. I pay the $20/yr fee for the Mail Plus account/service, so didn't get stuck with the "pay to play" issue that many others have when trying to set up their free Yahoo acct w/Mail.
I recall having this "Sent" folder functionality when I was using Outlook a couple of years ago, hence the answer to 'why would this guy have been paying $20 a year...?'. And I don't/won't go there on my Mac!
Thanks, again, for any help.
MBP 15" Core 2 Duo Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Necessity being the Mother of invention, I built a crude work-around and fixed half of the problem. I'd still be interested to hear if any of you have 'solved' the other half.
First half fix: On the mail.yahoo.com site, go to the Sent folders and select all of the messages there. Then, in the header, click on the "Move..." button and then select the "Inbox" as the destination. (N.B. This can not be undone; You can move messages from the Inbox to other folders, but not to your Sent folder. Go figure.) The next time you synch (or "Get Mail") from the Mac's Mail app, these "sent" messages will appear in your Inbox. Sort the Inbox by sender and move the messages sent by you to your "Sent" mailbox folder.
Now you've got a complete history of emails, both sent and received, on your Mac.
Second problem not fixed: Messages sent from the Mail app do not appear in the "Sent" folder on mail.yahoo website. So while your Inbox is synchronized between your Mac and your yahoo! account, your Sent items are not.
I was hoping that synching my Mac Mail with .Mac would allow me to see my sent messages remotely, from any internet browser. But at first blush, that dog don't hunt.
Any advice - short of a wholesale move to my @mac.com email - would be appreciated greatly. Even if the advice is "give up the ghost; can't be done; give up the yahoo email"!
Cheers.

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?

Exchange – Emails in sent folder have no sender information in header

Hey Everybody,
when I send emails with my exchange account in mail.app the copy of the email that is stored in the sent folder is missing the sender information in its header. The "from" column is empty, however, it should say my name there.
Pretty annoying because I use smart folders to organize my mails that depend on the sender information in the header. The only workaround I found so far is using imap in mail.app instead of exchange – but that's not a really satisfying solution.
I only have this problem when using mail.app with exchange. When I use the outlook.com web interface to send emails they are shown correctly in the sent folder in mail.app. Same goes for sending mails via exchange from my iPhone. My MobileMe account also works perfectly in mail.app. For the receiver there is no problem either - my name is correclty displayed as the sender.
Is anybody else having that problem or knows or solution?

Open Apple Contacts and verify your contact as "My Card". Microsoft calls this card "This is me". It's not stored on Exchange but in the local Outlook Address Book. I don't use Exchange so not sure if Apple will let you select your contact on Exchange contacts. You might need to select the local or iCloud contact.
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11582
Once you set "My Card", check to see if the issue is fixed.
If you still have issues.....
Let's eliminate issues in your User's folder by testing in a new User.
CREATE A NEW USER
Go to System Preferences --> Create a New User in Accounts. Switch to the New User by logging out/in or use Fast User Switching.
Add your Exchange account to Mail.
Do you still see the issue?
If yes, then the problem is with your base files.
If no, then the problem is in your User's folder.
Option to repair Mail in your User's folder:
Go to your User's Library folder. (if you don't know how to find, see this link.)
Scroll to Mail folder.
Select the V2 > MailData folder.
Delete any files in MailData with envelope in the name. (should be 3)
You can test Mail after deleting envelope files. When you open Mail it will re-index your files.
If you still have problems....
Go to Containers in the User's Library folder.
Delete the com.apple.mail folder.
Go to Preferences in the User's Library folder.
If you find any com.apple.mail.plist files, delete these.
Log out under the Apple in the Menu bar
Log in
Open Mail.

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!

How do I include icloud sent messages in my sent box on Mail

Hello
I file my mail on my Mac.
I am running 10.8.5, Mail 6.6.
I have a Sent box that looks like an arrow that contains my .Mac mail.
Inside mailboxes I have created there is a mailbox Sent Messages (iCloud) that I didn't create. This mailbox also appears on my iCloud Mail.
How do I move the mailbox into my general Sent mailbox so I can file my mail regardless of how I sent it?
Strangely I have more messages in the iCloud folder than in the Mail folder. This seems to be because they were inside the Sent folder on Mail until a certain date and then stopped being there.
Thank you

I hope Apple is listening -- the limits on system 6 prevented the ridiculous 6500 emails I now have on my iPhone. I'm not a programmer, but the ability to delete emails does not sound advanced to me in any way. I'm interested to know if it is for some bizzare reason.
Archiving seems straightforward enough...does Apple actually just want us to be forced to purchase more disk space? I like keeping all my messages on my server, but deleting them on my iPhone. It seems I am not alone.
