OSX 10.5.8 Mail App 3.6 - sent mails are gone

After 16 years of using Eudora, I migrated to Mail 3.6 on 10.5.8. That was yesterday.
Today I sent some emails with Mail 3.6 as reply to emails I received a few minutes before. The mails were sent correctly, as people told me so by phone. But, the sent emails were not in my Sent-box. Even after rebuilding the mailbox, emails I succesfully sent, were gone. Without a trace.
I sent the emails succesfully, but I don't have them anymore. Strange.
Can somebody please help?
Thank you,
Theo - The NL

Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup),  it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move this folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.
If that doesn't do it and you can afford to redo all your Rules, try these & reboot...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist.backup

  • Mail.app stopped saving sent mail to server

    A few days ago I searched for a sent email with what I knew to be a unique word I had used and it didn't get found. I looked at the Sent section (the one with the paper airplane) in the sidebar and noticed that there hadn't been any additions for two days even though I know I had sent email in that period.
    I have an iMac and two iBooks, they all showed the same behavior, so nothing in the Preferences had been changed.
    My default email name is an AOL account. I went to their webmail site, and a new email sent from there showed up in the Sent section of Mail.app.
    I downloaded the Thunderbird email client, and mail sent from there with my AOL name shows up in Mail.app Sent.
    So Thunderbird and AOL webmail will send mail from my AOL account and have it show up as sent but Mail.app won't.
    Anyone else have this problem?
    Done all the usual stuff, permission repair, directory rebuild, reboot, even a complete reinstall of the OS.

    Looks like AOK has fessed up to the problem:
    "I have never had a problem with my aol mail until Dec 18. I can no longer see my sent emails. I am using a MAC and accessing AOL through Mac. Very frustrating. What is going on?

  • HT5361 I am unable to start or select the MAIL app. No incoming mail and no outgoing mail. I do not even know how to get an answer without email. Can you help?

    I am unable to start or select the MAIL app. No incoming mail and no outgoing mail. I do not even know how to get an answer without email. Can you help?

    Thank you Carolyn, How helpless you can feel without this App!
    Going into the App Store as you suggest, I see 'thee updates available", the first says, 'X RESTART', the second says, 'Garage Band, an error has occurred" (in red), and the third 'Memory Clean, UPDATE'.
    Am I correct in thinking that OSX is the problem, because it is waiting for a restart?
    Kind regards,

  • My mail.app is downloading my mail but it is not showing in my inbox

    My mail.app is downloading my mail but it is not showing in my inbox. I have read about deleting the com.mail.pfile to resolve this but the file doesn't exist. Anyone else ever had this experience?

  • Junk mail arrives in iPhone 5s mail app but not MBP mail app

    This is a strange observation and I am wondering if others have experienced this...
    My iPhone is a 5s running iOS v7.1.  When I access my email accounts via my iPhone each day, I am greeted with a slew of junk mail on a daily basis (typically Monday thru Friday).  Not a new thing right?  However, when I access those same email accounts from my MacBook Pro I never receive any junk mail (typically Saturday and Sunday).  In fact, junk mail never even appears in my Junk folder on the MBP.  Now, during the week when I do receive the junk mail on my iPhone, I wait until I return home and open the mail app on my MBP whereupon all of the junk mail received on my iPhone NOW shows up in Mail on my MBP THEN automatically moves into the junk folder.  So, my suspicion is that spammers have now determined how to identify mail access between devices (iPhone vs. MBP).  I am guessing they may be capitalizing the the inability of the iPhone mail app to filter junk mail.
    Am I imagining this or has anyone else experienced this scenario?  Many thanks.

    Hello rayalamx
    If the Mail app is not opening, then I would remove the email accounts. Open mail to see if that resolves the issue and then start adding the accounts back in.

  • Can I setup Mail app to access Yahoo mail via IMAP?

    Can I setup Mail app to access Yahoo mail via IMAP? I think that my iPhone is doing this, but what about the Apple Mail app on my Mac? I don't like the fact that the Mac downloads the e-mail messages and removes them from the server, therefore making them inaccessible from Yahoo's online mail or my iPhone.
    I'd like to get to work just like my Mobile Me e-mail... Any thoughts?

    There is an option in the 'Advanced' section of the account setup to delete the messages from the server after a specified period rather than immediately on download; you could leave them for a week or whatever, then they will still be there when the iPhone accesses them.

  • Con't. Serious error message re Mail.app w/respect to Mail Preferences not opening...

    Hi all (& Linc)
    In an earlier thread,
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/25906027#25906027
    I prematurely reported a problem with Mail.app prefs not opening as being solved, when it turns out it hasn't been. The freezing of Mail.app upon invocation of Mail Prefs reintroduced itself, both with a suspected culptrit (the great DPS by Bongiovi) turned on and off and Quit Then, without any noticeable input, Mail.app suddenly righted itself and works as normal. I ran a test in Console and saw this foreboding log readout. It may still involve DPS. I'm reporting this same to the savvy engineers at Bongiovi, as well. What's to be done? I may be stumped, but I'm not giving up...
    All best,
    David

  • Mail app freezes! No mail! Mail settings, also!

    Mail app freezes! No mail! Mail settings, also!

    Maybe you can help me.  We have been getting incorrect  password alerts across all devices.. MacBookAir, iPhone 4 & 4s and iPad 2. We have aol , gmail and bellsouth email accts. the thing is they work and then don't work and back and forth every couple of days.. Very frustrating. Apple genius bar suggested the gmail acct over aol and said that should work but it happens on gmail also. When they aren't working the notice comes up repeatedly and when you put the pw in it still says it is wrong. And then it will work at some later point.

  • Configure Mavericks Mail app like the iOS Mail

    Is there a way to configure Mavericks Mail app like the iOS Mail so that mail messages are not automatically downloaded, and they will only download when you click on the titles on the list of messages on the left?

    Hello yonole,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    The steps below will disable the automatic checking of new email for your email account:  Please note that even though the article title is for Mountain Lion, the same applies to Mavericks.
    You can set Mail so that it doesn’t automatically retrieve messages from an account—for example, if you have an account you use only occasionally or you don’t want to check a personal account while you’re at work.
    Choose Mail > Preferences, and then click Accounts.
    Select an account, and then click Advanced.
    Deselect the “Include when automatically checking for new messages” checkbox.
    When you exclude an account from automatic checking, you must manually check the account for new messages. To do so, click the Get Mail icon in the Mail toolbar.
    Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) accounts are automatically synced with the mail server (and so automatically check for new messages). To keep an IMAP account from being synced, take it offline.

  • Mail doesn't save sent mail on one of my email accounts.....

    Mail doesn't save sent mail on one of my email accounts. I have several accounts, but on one of them it just doesn't save any mail I send. Is there a hidden setting I've missed somewhere? I did delete the account and then reset it, but it took out all of my emails to that address so I'm loathe to do that again!

    I'm lucky enough to have two Macs running OS X 10.9 next to each other, both using the same network, and sharing a common Exchange mail server. My corporate machine (an first gen' Aluminium iMac) has both Outlook and Mail installed. My personal machine (a 13" MacBook Air) has only Mail installed.
    Neither install of Mail is guarenteed to write sent messages to the Exchange Sent folder (it might happen, it might not). Both write perfectly to other common mail servers (e.g. GMail). Outlook writes perfectly to the Exchange server, but generally functions less effectively as a mail client than Apple Mail.
    The failure to write to the Exchange server only happened after the upgrade.
    It's quite frustrating.

  • I just installed ios7 on my iPhone 4s.  It seems to be working fine but all of the apps I had previously installed are gone.  They show up in my app store as purchased, but the shortcuts are gone.  Does anyone know how to get the shortcuts back?  Thanks!

    I updated via my iPhone 4s.  The apps were on my iPhone 4s.  That's all the information that I have.  The update to ios7 seems to have gone smoothly - everything else is working, phone texting, email, internet, etc.  But all of the apps I had installed over the past year are no longer showing up as shortcuts.  No facebook, no twitter, no espn, etc.  They are all still listed in my app store as purchased, but the shortcuts and my folders are gone.  Thanks.
