Saving sent emails directly to mailbox

After sending an email (Mail) I would like to save it directly to whatever mailbox I want rather than wait for it to be send and then move it

there is no built in way to do this. you can make a Mail rule using Mail-actOn that will automatically move sent messages to some mailboxes based on criteria you specify. that's the best you can do.

Outlook 2010 not saving Sent emails in Sent Items Folder

This problem does not exist on this forum. Using Outlook 2010 (V 14.0.7106.5001 (64-bit) on Windows 7 64-bit with three accounts: 1 account is Gmail and 2 accounts are IMAP. The IMAP accounts inexplicably stopped saving Sent emails. The
Gmail account still saves the Sent emails.
Tried already:
1. Changing the Sent Items setting from Save on folder on computer to Save on server and then changed back to the way it was, which is correct.
2. Created a new profile and entered the email settings. Still no sent mails being saved.
3. Ran Outlook repair. No luck.
Not sure where to go with this next. Never have run into a problem like this before.

Hi,
Please make sure you have the emails sent to the recipients successfully, if not, the emails may be saved to other folders if you have the following setting:
File tab -> Options -> Mail -> If you checked
Automatically save items that have not been sent after this many minutes,
Save to this folder, you may have your emails stored in the selected folder if the emails are not sent successfully.
Please visit the Webmail site, could you find the sent items there?
Try Reset View, then try to search for the sent emails by keywords in Advanced Find, can you find the emails?
Kindly check the following settings:
File tab -> Options -> Mail
-> under Save messages, make sure you have checked Save copies of messages in the Sent Items folder
If none of the above helps, feel free to contact me again.

Saving sent emails

Hi people,
I am having a problem with my sent emails from my iPad. I am using gmail and when I send an email, the sent email is not picked up by my desktop computer running Outlook 2007. This seems strange to me as emails I send on the same account from my Nexus One are picked up by Outlook 2007.
Does anyone have a suggestion for me to get this to work/

Hi Jeff, thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I am not using an exchange client; just outlook POP access.
You misunderstood me -- I'm not using an Exchange client either. I'm using IMAP to access the server. What you want can't be easily done with POP but if you switch to IMAP you may have better luck.

Mail not saving sent email

This just started on March 12, no apparent reason that I can find. The account is a POP, preferences are set to never delete. Kind of annoying! Thanks for any suggestions...
OS 10.6.8, Macbook Pro 2.33 Mail 4.5 (1084)

My primary email account is IMAP and I have just found what I suspect are all the messages that were not saved in my "sent" folder either on my iMac or ISP server. They were in the "Sent" folder of my secondary, little-used Hotmail account and the recipients "saw" these as originating from this account rather than the one from which I actually sent them. After some testing, I discovered that, for my primary account, the "always use this server" box was not checked. I surmise that, if the Mail app has trouble using the server associated with my primary account, it simply uses the Hotmail server (this would be consistent with the delay before hearing the "whooshing"noise). What does surprise me is that, if this Hotmail server has been used, the recipient sees the message as originating from Hotmail. Is this what is supposed to happen?

Sent email not stored (on IMAP server)

Hi,
I browsed through a lot of discussions and found that a lot of other people are having the same problem. I still couldn't find a solution to my problem in these discussions though.
My Mail app (6.0) is set to 'store sent message on server' and never delete it. I selected the correct folder (left pane) to 'use this mailbox for' sent emails in the 'Mailbox' menu.
Still, when sending an email, it is not saved in the 'sent' mailbox and I can't find it on the webmail either. It is delivered to its receiver though.
I called my ISP and they are telling me it is my Mail application (can be right, as it works perfectly with Thunderbird). Apple is telling me it is my ISP...
Meanwhile, I still have this issue and I realy would like to use Mail instead of Thunderbird. Please help.

ok, problem solved. It seems this was a problem with my ESP not granting full acces or writing privileges to Apples Mail application. I was tired of this provider anyway for multiple reasons; so I switched. Now it works fine.

Sent Emails Not Saved

Please see this screenshot: http://geoffmyers.net/images/mail_screenshot.png
Since August 20, none of my sent emails have been saved by Mail (the account is IMAP). If you see the screenshot, you can see that, for some strange reason, Mail shows several subfolders under Sent instead of just a single folder (like my other 2 email accounts on the bottom). This only began recently. I can access all my Sent emails sent before August 20 within the "Sent Messages" folder. But now I think Mail is confused as to where sent emails go, so it doesn't save them. Please advise. Thank you.

I figured it out. I just clicked on "Sent Messages" then went to Mailbox > Use This Mailbox For > Sent.

Messages sent from a shared mailbox aren't saved to the Sent Items.

Messages sent from a shared mailbox aren't saved to the Sent Items.
In my enviroment , I have Exchange 2010 and Outlook 2007 - i have a shared mailbox called
ServiceDesk. I have added this mailbox to user "Mike" and given mike "Send as Permission" .
The problem
When ever mike sends an email from ServiceDesk
- the email goes to his personal sent items instead of the sharedmailbox
sent items. Is there a way to force any email sent from serviceDesk Mailbox to its own sent items folder? .

Hi,
This is maybe the wrong forum for this question, but anyway;
Thie site you were pointing out's solution is valid.
Please look in to the following KB article that describes the steps needed to solve this issue. A hotfix package (which you might not need and a a "fixit" dowload for it, but will also change the registry key.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/972148
If you have a larger environment and would want to deploy the registry value, I'd suggest using Group Policy Preferences Registry settings.

Not saving Sent or Draft emails

Help, I'm using 2 IMAP email acount in mail and it won't save any of my sent messages or drafts, even though I have the setting set to store them under the mailbox behaviors.
Am I missing something?
These are two new mail accounts I've set up, you'll see from my last two posts earlier there have been some othe issues, now thankfully resolved.
My preference would be for the mail to be saved on rthe server and of course appear in Mail app.
I also haver a .Mac email which does this fine.

You’re welcome.
So do you recommend that I typr INBOX in the IMAP preference box?
Yes.
Will it be enough to just do that now or should I delete and recreate the new account?
It doesn’t really matter. If you do it without re-creating the account, Mail may lose track of which mailboxes should be used for what, but you can fix that by just doing Mailbox > Use This Mailbox For again.
Would you look at this image of my Mailapp setup and comment please
The appearance of your mailbox list is normal except for the black triangle to the left of the IMAP Inboxes, which is a consequence of the INBOX prefix issue.
There isn’t a pre-defined Junk group with the brown bag icon probably because you have the junk filter set to something other than Automatic mode, which in turn explains why the Junk mailbox on the .Mac server appears as a generic folder.
The two Junk-named folders that appear there are a “glitch” caused by some changes made on the .Mac server some time ago. You can get rid of them if you want. Mail will create the one it needs when it needs to if it isn’t already there.
Here’s a more thorough explanation of how mailboxes are supposed to appear in Mail:
1. Instead of grouping mailboxes by account, Mail groups mailboxes by purpose first, regardless of whether they are stored locally or on the server, then groups by account the mailboxes that don’t serve a specific purpose in Mail. If you have more than one mail account, each has its own Inbox, Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk mailboxes, which appear under the respective group showing the account name instead of the real name of the associated mailbox in the filesystem.
This has the advantage of letting you choose at any time, and independently for each mailbox, whether you want to look at your Inbox, Sent, Trash, etc. mailboxes as if you had just one of them shared by all accounts (i.e. an aggregate), or look at each of the corresponding individual mailboxes separately.
2. Each mailbox under a pre-defined group is associated with a mailbox in the filesystem whose name may or may not be exactly the same as the name of the corresponding mailbox group. By default, the name of the actual mailboxes in the filesystem associated with Sent and Trash, for example, would be Sent Messages and Deleted Messages, respectively.
3. The association between a mailbox in a pre-defined group and the actual mailbox in the filesystem is fixed for POP accounts, but can be changed for IMAP accounts by means of Mailbox > Use This Mailbox For or the corresponding Preferences > Accounts > Mailbox Behaviors > Store messages on the server setting.
4. Mail may defer the creation of a pre-defined mailbox until actually needed to store messages there. Also, in some circumstances Mail may be unable to create or locate the actual mailbox in the filesystem (see #10 below for an example), but the association does still exist in those cases from a logical point of view, even though Mail may be unable to display or store messages there.
5. Each and every mailbox appears once and only once in the mailbox list, be it (1) under one of the pre-defined groups with an icon that conveys its purpose and the name of the account it belongs to (if you have more than one mail account), or (2) with a generic folder icon and the real name of the associated mailbox in the filesystem if it serves no specific purpose as far as Mail goes. Under no circumstances can the same mailbox appear both ways; it’s either one or the other, depending solely on whether it serves a specific purpose in Mail or it’s treated by Mail as a generic mailbox like any other.
6. By itself, the name of the mailbox is no indication of whether it serves a purpose in Mail. If it appears in Mail with a generic folder icon, then as far as Mail goes it’s a generic mailbox like any other, no matter what its name.
7. A mailbox with a generic folder icon can “disappear” and become associated with one of the pre-defined groups as a result of changing the corresponding Store messages on the server setting in Preferences > Accounts > Mailbox Behaviors or doing Mailbox > Use This Mailbox For on it (server-stored IMAP mailboxes only). This, in turn, would cause the mailbox being previously used for that purpose to become dissociated from the corresponding group and “appear” as a mailbox with a generic folder icon.
8. In addition to the account-specific mailboxes that appear with the account name under each of the pre-defined groups, Trash and Junk may also have an “On My Mac” mailbox. This is where messages deleted or marked as junk are moved if they were previously stored in a custom “On My Mac” mailbox or in a locally stored mailbox associated with an IMAP account (i.e. a mailbox for which Store messages on the server has been turned OFF in Preferences > Accounts > Mailbox Behaviors).
9. Generic mailboxes that don’t serve a specific purpose as far as Mail goes (i.e. mailboxes that appear in Mail with a generic folder icon), appear below the pre-defined groups. In principle, “On My Mac” mailboxes (i.e. locally stored custom mailboxes) would appear as top-level folders, whereas server-stored mailboxes would appear grouped under a globe icon for each IMAP or .Mac account. However, if there is no need to differentiate between “On My Mac” and server-stored mailboxes (e.g. because you only have one IMAP account and no custom “On My Mac” mailboxes), Mail will display the server-stored mailboxes as top-level folders instead, just as if they were “On My Mac” mailboxes.
Note: In Mail 1.x, generic mailboxes always appeared grouped, never as top level folders. “On My Mac” mailboxes, in particular, appeared under their own On My Mac group. In Mail 2.x, this changed to offer greater flexibility in how the user wants his/her custom mailboxes to be organized — see Mail Help’s “My mailbox organization was lost after upgrading Mac OS X” article. This allows the user to have multiple top-level “On My Mac” hierarchies, for example.
10. Some IMAP accounts use a NAMESPACE feature that Mail doesn’t handle properly and that causes server-stored mailboxes to appear as subfolders of the account’s Inbox, even though they really aren’t — see “Can't create folders, only subfolders of INBOX” in the Courier FAQ, for example. Those IMAP accounts require INBOX to be put in Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > IMAP Path Prefix for Mail to handle them properly.

In my MacBook Pro "sent" mailbox emails are listed by my email address but on my iPad the "sent" emails are listed by the sent email address?

On my MacBook Pro in the "sent" mailbox emails are listed by my email address but on my iPad the "sent" emails are listed by the sent email address. Very hard to look at the address where the message was sent to?

After upgrading to IOS 7.0.3 the problems gone.
There is no mention of this being a bug or a fix so im thinking a software glitch was the issue.
When I look at a message in my inbox and it says "To: JB Manz" - I click my name and it shows my contact info including my 4 email addresses and the address the message was addressed to is highlighted blue, others all black.
Not sure how it got fixed but it's working like it used to.

Sent emails, from replies, to email in Shared Exchange mailbox folders - Outlook 2013 - Office 365 Midsize Business

1. Outlook 2013 lets replies to emails from another folder than inbox wind up in that same folder.
Options - email - save - a checkbox
2. A registry setting lets email sent from shared exchange mailboxes wind up in the "sent objects" folder of that mailbox.

Sent emails on my iphone not being saved on my hotmail's sent items

Sent emails on my iphone are not being saved on my hotmail's sent items

Delete the account on your phone under settings> Mail, contacts, calendars> hotmail account> delete. This will not erase anything on your email account as your phone only accesses the server. Then you can add the account again in the same place in settings. Just make sure you have the password so you can add it right away. Sometimes people forget their password because they never use it. If that's the case you can go online and click "forgot password" and resset it before you uninstall it on your phone. Hope this helps.

Sent Email Saving

Hi all,
I am successful in sending emails through apex send email utility. I want to save sent email in my application too just as our normal email works. Can anyone help me how can i save the sent emails with there data??
With Regards,
Sunil Bhatia

Hi Sunil,
For this sort of thing, I actually store the email data in a custom table and then use that to create and send the actual emails.
My table structure would be something like:
CREATE TABLE "A_SENT_EMAILS"
     "SENT_EMAIL_ID" NUMBER(10,0) NOT NULL ENABLE,
     "CLIENT_ID" NUMBER(10,0),
     "USER_ID" NUMBER(10,0),
     "EMAIL_TYPE" VARCHAR2(4),
     "EMAIL_TO" VARCHAR2(200),
     "EMAIL_FROM" VARCHAR2(200),
     "EMAIL_BODY" VARCHAR2(2500),
     "EMAIL_BODY_HTML" VARCHAR2(2500),
     "EMAIL_SUBJECT" VARCHAR2(200),
     "EMAIL_CC" VARCHAR2(200),
     "EMAIL_BCC" VARCHAR2(200),
     "EMAIL_SENT" DATE,
     CONSTRAINT "A_SENT_EMAILS_PK" PRIMARY KEY ("SENT_EMAIL_ID") ENABLE
)CLIENT_ID and USER_ID are specific to this particular example, you can add whatever ID's you need instead. EMAIL_TYPE just identifies the type of email being sent (we use email templates that the user selects and/or is selected automatically), so this just helps identify the type being sent.
Then, a loop through these where the EMAIL_SENT date is null, would allow me to construct the emails using something like:
HTMLDB_MAIL.SEND
     rec.EMAIL_TO,
     rec.EMAIL_FROM,
     rec.EMAIL_BODY,
     rec.EMAIL_BODY_HTML,
     rec.EMAIL_SUBJECT,
     rec.EMAIL_CC,
     rec.EMAIL_BCC
);"rec" is just the cursor's record name

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.

Mail not saving sent messages (in the year 2015)

I recently switched from Entourage to Mac Mail (I know, I know) on my laptop running 10.10.1, but have been increasingly annoyed with Mail's inability to save Sent mail at random times. I use Mail with only ONE e-mail account (Comcast IMAP), and yet it often takes FOREVER to send an e-mail and then there is no record of it. This is causing me all sorts of problems professionally and personally. I started looking into this only to find that it seems to be a longstanding issue with no solution. Has anyone solved this? I am contemplating going back to Entourage, which is RIDICULOUS.

Have continued to look into this, and it looks like this affects IMAP accounts only. It sounds like you need to specify for Mail exactly WHERE it needs to save messages, even if you're only using one account, like I am. I found these directions on a site called Media Temple, and am trying them (I know some folks have said some of these options are grayed out, but I did have a Sent folder nested inside my Inbox that this process worked for). Will update here if this does not seem to solve the problem (it takes a while to test changes because this problem appears randomly).
Q: Emails sent in Mail do not appear in my Sent Folder, why?
A: When using IMAP, as we recommend for the Grid, Mail requires you provide a specific folder to save sent messages. Follow these simple steps to configure this:
Click and highlight the "Sent" folder for your account.
Click the "Mailbox" menu
Choose "Use This Mailbox For"
Choose "Sent"
This will configure Mail to save new outgoing emails to the sent folder for your account. If you want your previously sent emails to appear they must be dragged from Mail's local Sent folder to the Sent folder listed under your account.

Sent email and it's not in my sent folder

I wrote an email, clicked send and it sent, but it is not in my sent folder. My settings are to save in sent folder. Any ideas why

I called the 800 Apple SOS number, and was referred to a higher level tech. He was helpful, though it took several tries, and call backs, ..he had not heard this before.
Basically:
1. Be sure you have backed up your mail.
2. If all your saved mail is in folders (folders you have put ail I after you answered or just b/c you saved it...historical stuff) on your machine (not just on line), and,
3. You have not set your email to delete on the server right away (for example you don't delete your gmail or other mail for 30-days)...
4. You should be able to delete (-) the account and then add (+) it back, with all your mail there.
If you are on an iPad, you might think of it as if you got a new iPad, and needed to set up your account from scratch.
NOTE: most of my (wife's...this is her Mac Book Pro) important mail is on an exchange server for work. What happens when you deal with your email directly, online with that kind of server may also tell you something about how the problem might be solved. In other words, try and go to the Exchange server for your company.)
ALSO: this happened when I upgraded her computer to Maverick OS. So I have been fearful to upgrade mine..
AGAIN: With all this in mind to help you coach the tech person... I STRONGLY suggest you call the 800# on Apple's support page.
