Saved messages re-appear months after being sent

Yesterday 101 messages "suddenly" re-appeared in my DRAFTS folder. Several of the 101 messages were repeats so the number of unique messages was smaller.
I can identify a few of these as messages I took a long time to compose - so there may have been a "proper" save in DRAFTS in these cases.
I resent a copy of each of these messages to trusted correspondents - a few were newly received and several were duplicates.
Questions:
1. Why now? This is a new problem, I routinely look for "next" when I near the end of my inmail processing, this time the DRAFTS folder showed up with over 100 messages.
2. How do I tell, short of scanning the SENT or respective folders, if the mail was sent.
3. Since the problem took months after some of the original messages were sent, how do I just make it go away - and be sure the messages I send are actually sent.
NB: The problem is nearly identical to a "reported and closed/fixed" problem in Microsoft Office Outlook 2010. That problem was closed with a fix to Internet Explorer - could that be related?
Thank you. /Stu

Interesting to know (the RFC violation) but as you say, perhaps not relevant as such, although if ZOHO wasn't auto-placing a copy in sent then I could check the 'place a copy in' option and it would work ok.
Anyhow, I tried your recommendations and yes, I use both an Android and an iPad to also check my mail but with both disconnected from Wi-Fi the problem still persists. There are a few warnings being reported in the TB error console on the Mac but they just relate to 'mso-table-lspace' for my INBOX.
And for info in Thunderbird on my Ubuntu laptop the problem is exactly the same -
'Place a copy' checked - Messages instantly appear in the sent folder but there are two copies.
'Place a copy' de-checked/Cached connections = 5 - Messages only appear in the sent folder after restarting Thunderbird
'Place a copy' de-checked/Cached connections = 1 - Messages appear in the sent folder on clicking out of the folder and back in.
On Ubuntu there is nothing at all in the error console.
I can work with how things are at this stage as I don't live in the sent folder (rather the inbox), and when you click into it (with the connections cache at 1) the messages do appear, so I suppose that's actually ok.

T135D Overheat message comes up again after being sent back to Toshiba for repair

Has anyone else experienced this? Is there any way to avoid sending it back again to be "repaired" again?

Has anyone else experienced this? Is there any way to avoid sending it back again to be "repaired" again?

When I insert a screen shot or image into the body of an email (not an attachment), why does it not show up after being sent? It works fine in other browsers.

The image will show up in the message when I am preparing it to send, but after being sent either it doesn't show at all or it comes through as a mess of characters.

try reinstalling iTunes.

TS3899 Saved messages disappear from mailboxes after 'update'.

Saved messages often disappear from mailboxes after an automatic 'update'. Why does that occur? If it's normal, how long are messages retained in a mailbox? Thanks

Hi Milli,
I think the problem is that Mail tries to download them in order & if it runs into one it can't it just stops, happens when a bad/malformed email is in the chain too.
I think this may have cleared your problem though...
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 these 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.

Access Services - Saving message continuously appearing

Hi, I have a SharePoint 2013 Site which was migrated from SharePoint 2010. This uses access services and we have a few access databases appearing in the browser and when the user does any data additions or updates, the data actually gets saved, but the
message "Access Services is saving the data" is not disappearing. What could be an issue here?
Karthick

Hi,
Based on your description, my understanding is that after connect your Access 2013 Web Apps to SharePoint Lists and migrate from SP 2010 to 2013,
the user is unable to update any data in your SharePoint Lists.
Here is a post about Migrating from SP 2010 to 2013, user permissions are not working:

Make sure your user account with the “Full Control” or “Owner” SharePoint permission. If you have trouble, check with the person who is in charge of your SharePoint site.

Some mail stuck in drafts after being sent. Unchecking "keep drafts on server" doesn't stay unchecked

Some of emails get stuck in drafts, even if they've been sent. When I go to the preferences page and uncheck "keep drafts on server", then save it and exit, when I go back to it, it's checked again! What am I missing?

But you're only proving that IMAP isn't a valid solution to my problem: I DON'T want my mail treated the same on my Macbook as I do on my iPhone. Here is a great example: I order something from Amazon. I want to keep the order confirmation on my Macbook until the order arrives, which then I can delete it as the order is fulfilled. But after the order, I'd like to know when the order is shipped ASAP, so knowing via my iPhone would be good as well. I would then delete it from the iPhone.
Basically, the iPhone is almost always cleaned out instantaneously. I get an e-mail, I read it, I delete it because the iPhone isn't the ideal platform to manage dozens of e-mails. However, the Macbook is, so I want to keep those messages on the Macbook for however long I need them, which may be days or weeks, while the iPhone I only need as a form of notification.

PDF won't display correctly after being sent from iPad/iPhone

Hi,
Wondering if anyone can help me, we have a PDF come in to one of our users outlook accounts, it opens fine on the computer. However, he has then proceeded to forward this to a colleague through his iPad and when the colleague opens it on their computer, it gives an error message 'Insufficient Data for an Image'. From here the PDF doesn't display correctly, whereby it only shows when scrolled halfway down the page, when you scroll back up all information dissapears as though it were a blank page.
FYI the software we are using to open the PDF is Adobe Reader, which we updates to the latest version to test for this issue. In short, when opened on the local computer it works fine, but as soon as it is forwarded from an iPad it won't open properly (the document opens fine on the ipad before it is sent). I have also tested this through my iPhone and i get the same issue.
Can anyone help? Thanks in advance!

Any chance that a Microsoft Exchange Server is in the mix? Could depend on what version of exchange is used.
You will need to try a work-around. Apple seems slow on fixing this issue.

Alarm reminder keeps on appearing months after event has been deleted...!!!

Can anyone help me? I have got a reminder from 11th November 2005 that keeps on popping up on my screen, even though I have cancelled it months ago.
When I hit the cancel button, the reminder disappears, but will then re-appear 24 hours later. This happens every day.
If I hit the magnifying glass button, to take me to the event itself, then iCal comes to the front, but the date it highlights is 24th November 2005, NOT 11th.
And when I look at the events on the 11th, the one I am reminded about is not even there. I deleted it in the hope that the reminder would stop nagging me.
Curiously enough, even though I have all my iCal events and reminders synced up with my phone, this reminder does NOT appear on my phone, even though all other events do - even past events that I have set to remind me at a later date.
How can I get rid of this reminder once and for all, but still keep the rest of my events and reminders intact? ie: I don't want to clear everything and start again.

Yes - the necessary information is stored in the various ics files. But if in doubt, drag them to the desktop rather than deleting them - you can always put them back. I am not sure if this will solve the problem, but it seems a good place to start. If it doesn't work, we'll have to go digging in the calendar files. It could of course be related to syncing - I reckon most of the world's problems are

Mail photo attachment changes format after being sent?

When I take a photo using the iPad camera and send it as an attachment in mail, how can I ensure the photo will maintain the same format after sending it, as it did when I took the photo? Recipients of my email with a portrait photo attachment, will receive the attachment in landscape format. This also happens to photos I've taken and saved previously in photos on my iPad2.
Does anyone know why this happens or how I can prevent it from happening?

Denis-
I have seen this effect on photos received from an iPhone camera. I suggest you let Apple know so they can fix it in a future iOS update. Go to <iPad Feedback>.
When saved, the side-ways photos seem to end up right-side-up, if that is any consolation.

Messages deleting from Blackberry after being read in outlook

I am new to the Blackberry after using an iPhone, and I'm still figuring it out. This may have been answered already...I just can't find it. I have Outlook 2003 at home, and have a Blackberry Tour 9630 with Verizon. After I read an email in Outlook, it deletes it from my Blackberry (the messages have not been deleted in Outlook). If I understand this correctly, if I delete a message from Outlook...it will always delete it from my Blackberry. What setting do I need to change either in Outlook or the Blackberry to keep the emails that I read (but do not delete) in Outlook on my Blackberry.
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The change is made in OUTLOOK.
1) Go to the account you are using, (TOOLS/ACCOUNT SETTINGS) and double-click the account in which you want to make the change.
2) Click "MORE SETTINGS."
3) Click the "ADVANCED" tab.
4) Place a check mark in the box adjacent to "Leave a copy of messages on the server."
Then you can choose to delete (or not) from your Blackberry.
Hope this helps,
ED

Messages reappearing in inbox after being moved or deleted

I upgraded to Snow Leopard a couple weeks ago from Leopard. Since then I have noticed a bizarre bug in Mail:
A message that I had moved from my inbox to another folder kept reappearing in the inbox. I tried moving it repeatedly and deleting it, and it would keep coming back later that day.
After reading advice on this forum, I tried rebuilding my inbox and the folder that should have contained the message. I thought this fixed it, but now ANOTHER message is doing the same thing. This message is from the same day as the other offender, and I feel like this is not a coincidence. (For the record, that date is not the same as the date that I upgraded.)
This is getting really annoying (I like to keep a clean inbox) so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

You probably also need to use Rebuild on the target mailbox that you are moving messages to, but the following will take care of all mailboxes. This is almost certain to be an indexing problem. Try using the procedure described in the following:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mail/4.0/en/14019.html
Note the special instructions to remove the account folders for any Exchange or IMAP accounts, which apparently you do not have.

Messages remain in inbox after being deleted or moved to other folders

Spent 2 hours yesterday cleaning out my in box, deleting and filing emails, only to find everything right back where it was? I have an exchange account and have never had this happen. Nothing has changed with anything on account or computer.

I should mention that the transferred message also remains in my Inbox even if I delete it from my Inbox after having transferred it to another mailbox. Once I "delete" it from the Inbox, it will turn gray (from black), and will disappear if I hit Apple-L to "Hide Deleted Messages." But it will be right back again in the Inbox, as black as ever, the next time I return from another mailbox to the Inbox, even if I have chosed "Erase all Deleted Messages" in the meantime.
This is very annoying. I'll sure appreciate help.
Thank you.

How to set iPhone so Mail messages in inbox disappear after being downloaded to Mail on my MacBook Pro

Hi -
Previously, the Mail settings on my iPhone and MacBook Pro were set exactly as I wanted them to be: If I opened a Mail message on my phone, it stayed in the inbox only until I opened the Mail App on my MacBook Pro, at which time it downloaded onto the notebook and disappeared from the iPhone. This is how I want it, as I have no need for duplicate emails in multiple locations.
I recently had to reformat the hard drive on the MascBook Pro and reinstall all the software and data. Unfortunately, I was not able to save the Mail preferences, and now my Mail App works differently: Mail messages remain on both the iPhone and the Mac, and if I delete a message on one device it also disappears from the other.
Can anyone help me to figure out how to get the settings and preferences back to the way they were originally? Thanks for any information anyone can provide.
Shelly

Are you using Mac Mail - the icon that looks like a stamp?
If yes, you can create Mailboxes. (click on Mailbox in the menu bar and select New Mailbox...) These are folders and are visible in Mail.
You store the mail you wish to archive in appropriate folders.

How do I get game data back on the iPad after being sent a replacement?

I took my iPad into a shop for repair and they replaced it. Before I took it I backed it up to iTunes. When I got my replacement I synced my iPad with iTunes and got all my apps back. Only problem is I've lost all my game data. My achievements are on game centre. How do I get the game data back? Also I bought extra levels on a game and they have disappeared to? Can anyone help?

You should have restored from the backup before you synced the iPad. If iTunes created a new backup when you synced, the old backup may have been overwritten and the data may be gone.
Without connecting the iPad to your computer, launch iTunes and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices. Do you see a backup in that window from the day that you backed up the iPad before you sent it out to be replaced? If you do have a backup from that days, you can try restoring from that backup. While you are still in that window, click on the box that says - prevent iPods, iPhones .... From syncing automatically. Click OK. Quit iTunes.
Connect the iPad to your computer and launch iTunes, right click on the iPad under devices and select Restore From Backup. Select that backup from the window that pops up and restore from it. Then sync with iTunes.
You can turn Auto sync back on in the prefers when you are done.
