Sent email showing in .mac inbox

I searched about this and saw others having issues with Yahoo and Gmail accounts, but didn't see any regarding .Mac.
I send email from the iPhone and it shows up in my inbox on the computer as well as going to the person I sent it to. Why? How do I stop this?
Thanks
Ron

It seems that the Mail prefs on the computer were the problem. Under Accounts>Mailbox Prefs> checked the Store sent messages on the server and this solved the problem.

Why do my sent emails show in my inbox?

I am using Gmail with the Apple Mail app.
When I select "Inbox" it also shows my sent mail whether it has replies or not.
How can I get the Inbox, Sent, etc selections again?

This has been posted before.
This is a feature of Gmail. Everything you send gets sent back to you so you always have a copy of it on the server, no matter where you send mail from (iphone, mac, pc, etc). For example, with most mail servers, if I send mail via the mail application, the only place I can view it is from that mail app. If I go on a different computer and try to view the mail I sent, it will not be there. This is why gmail sends a copy to the server.
Not sure if you can get rid of it. I just move them into the sent folder.
Try searching the forums, there might be more answers.

Why do my sent emails show up in inbox?

I have a gmail account that I use for my iphone email. Everything works fine, except...whenever I send someone an email, a few minutes later I hear the "email chime" and I think "oh good, they just wrote back." However, sitting in my inbox is a copy of the email I just sent to the person. Any ideas why this happens and how I can get this to stop?
I went in to my email settings and "Always Bcc Myself" is OFF.
Thanks!

I'm really sorry, but I'm not sure what a POP account is...I wanted to be able to use the email system built in to iphone so I created a new account online via gmail and then set up the account in my iphone using instructions from a book I bought (the iphone pocket guide).
More importantly, I cannot find the "recent" setting you mention within the email setting on iphone.
Thanks for being patient!

Sent email showing up in inbox, BCC not selected

Hi, Recently I've been noticing that my @me emails are showing up in my inbox whenever I send a message even though I have not selected to BCC myself on messages, anyone have any troubleshooting tips, this is really annoying and clogging up my inbox and making conversations hard to track with this happening. Thanks! Steph

Have you checked to make sure you aren't CCing yourself?

Sent messages showing up in Inbox

Ever since I upgraded to an iPhone 3GS from an original iPhone I've been having a strange thing happen when sending email from my iPhone. I am getting an copy of every email I send show up in the Inbox of the account I used to send the email. For example if I send an email from my MobileMe account to my Gmail account I get a copy of the email I sent in the Sent folder, as I should, and I get a copy in the Inbox of my Gmail account, as I should, but I also get a copy of the same email in the Inbox of my MobileMe account, which I should not. This never happened on my original iPhone.
I have tried deleting the email accounts from my iPhone and syncing them again via iTunes and problem still persists. This is annoying and I would like to find out how to stop it. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Regards,
Michael

Interesting here for me...I have had the BCC myself off for sometime...yet I'm still getting the copies of everything (sent/etc.) into my inbox. This didn't start immediately when I bought the 3gs. I'm thinking that I turned on BCC me once...but somehow it's "stuck" or something. Ideas? Ditch mail account and start over?

Mail.app shows my .mac inbox is empty. all other tools show it is not.

a few days ago mail started acting strangely on my .mac account. it would indicate that i had a large number of unread messages in my .mac inbox, then when i looked at the inbox in mail, it would show up as empty.
i started to think that there must be some kind of problem, so i quit mail and checked via webmail. webmail can see all the msgs in my inbox. i quit and try mail.app again. same result (mail shows 0 messages).
i try forcing a "synchronize" from within mail (from the mailboxes menu). there is no change. i try a "rebuild" command from the mailbox menu. there is no change.
i try firing up entourage and it sees the mail in my inbox. i quit entourage and try mail again. no change (mail shows 0 messages).
i suspect that there is some kind of corruption or something either in the local state on my machine or perhaps a message which has some malformed headers or something which is sitting in my inbox and causing mail.app to be unable to properly download the mailbox contents.
i tried using webmail to go in and either delete the messages or move them aside to a separate temporary mailbox. back in mail.app, it sees the new temporary mailbox and at first indicates that it has ~40 or so unread msgs (which is true plus about 10 more read msgs), but when i actually click on the mailbox to look at it, it appears empty. i reconfirmed that webmail and entourage can both see ~50 msgs in the temp mailbox, but mail.app shows zero.
also, in addition, the same problem still holds for my inbox. so now when i send myself a test message, mail.app temporarily indicates that i have new mail, but then when i look in my inbox, nothing appears in mail.app. if i quit and go look at my inbox with webmail or entourage, i can see the new mail as expected.
i looked in system.log, console.log, and mail.log and didn't see any log msgs that seemed to relate to whatever problem mail was having reading the headers/contents from the server.
so i was trying to fix the problem by clearing out my inbox using webmail, but instead it appears that i have merely replicated the cause of the problem so that it now affects two folders instead of just one.
does anyone know of a way to definitively clear out a mailbox altogether on the server? it would be reassuring to know that there was not some hidden corrupt msg sitting in my inbox messing things up.
any other suggestions for how to get out of this state? thanks.
Mac OS X (10.4.5)

oh forgot to mention a couple other clear signs that mail.app is "confused" here:
if i right click on a mailbox in the mailboxes window and select "get info..." (a very useful command hidden in an odd place), it shows me that right now my inbox has 3 messages and my temp mailbox has 50 messages. but when i look at either of these mailboxes normally, they show up with zero messages.
if i send myself a test message and then tell mail.app to check for mail, the new message indicator comes on and my inbox temporarily shows up as having 3 new messages. then when i click on it, it shows up as empty and the new message indicator goes away again. if i repeat this it will say 4 new messages, etc.
so it's acting like there's some kind of corrupt partial message at the top of my inbox that mail.app can't read and keeps choking on. i've had this happen before on other imap servers a while back. for those servers, i had normal login access, so i could go and edit or delete the offending file. in this case (apple's .mac server), i don't know how to do the equivalent.

Transfer Sent Email to Another Mac

I have a G4 laptop that I travel with. I often send email from this computer which end up appearing in the Sent file. I would love to transfer (copy) these individual sent emails (not the entire Sent file) to my desktop Mac Pro also running Mail.
Any help and I will worship you!
Thanks

Well, you could copy the /Home/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/Sent.mbox/ folder to the other computer. If you prefer not having to re-copy the folder all the time then use any synchronization tool to simply sync the two folders. This should only copy new or changed files. Of course you will need some way of connecting the two computers. This could be done via your local network with file sharing enabled on one of the computers (or both.) Or you can connect the two via FireWire if it's supported on both computers. You could use Target Disk Mode or Mac OS X 10.5 Help- Using IP over FireWire.
A better alternative is to convert your email service from POP to IMAP. All mail is stored on the IMAP server. Thus, each computer sees exactly the same mail folders regardless of whether one or both are online. This eliminates any need to sync or copy files between computers. This is easy to do if your email ISP supports IMAP accounts. Simply change your email account to IMAP, then create a new IMAP account in Mail.

Duplicates of Previously sent messages showing up in InBox

Lately, several duplicates of the same previously sent message show up in my InBox; plus previously deleted messages show up in the InBox at the same time.

Sent email turns up in inbox on my laptop why

sent emails from my iphone 4s have started appearing in my outlook express inbox on my laptop
started happening 3 days ago why ???

Does your MacBook have "Store sent messages on the server" set in your iCloud account? It should, if you want the iPhone to be able to see messages sent from the MacBook.

TS3276 Lion mail; sent emails show up in the draft folder as well as the sent folder. Often the draft will appear a day after the email was actually sent

Lion mail
Emails that have been Sent show up in the Draft folder as well as th e Sent folder.
Often they may not show up in Draft folder until the next day.
Is there a correction for this?

no, I only use mac as my incoming and outgoing server.
What I did was un check the draft box in the mail preferences,
and will see if that works. Since I use only the computer for emails
the cloud isnt being used to its max anyway.
Thanks taking time to share

How do I limit the number of emails showing in the inbox. (iOS 7)

When using iOS 6 I was able to limit the inbox emails under Mail, Show and pick the number I wanted.
Can't find any control like this in Mail with iOS 7.

Delete them from your inbox.

Sent email showing as unread mean

In my sent inbox on icloud, it shows 2 unread messages. Does that mean the receivers haven't read the message yet or does that mean I have been blocked?

mail accounts of the type pop3 does not "share" info about if mails have been read on other devices or webmail
only imap and exchange types does that

Is Email in the mac inbox still saved on the internet server?

Hello, I will be switching to a mac very soon and I am wondering.. If I set my Gmail account to work with the mail application, are the email messages still saved in my ordinary Gmail account by logging in online at google? Also, are these messages saved on my Hard Disk?
Thanks!

Sort of depending on how you have Mail set up. A POP account as I'm sure you are aware will download messages to your computer, (where they will be stored in local mailboxes in your home folder), and it will also keep them on the server. Where it differs from an IMAP account I think is that the two are not actually synchronised.
When you set up Mail on your Mac you need to visit the preferences options and;
Click the accounts tab.
Click the advanced tab.
There is an option there to, *Remove copy from server after*...........+Right away+, +a day+, +a week,+ +a month+, +after moving from inbox+.
If you choose to leave it in your inbox then it is up to your Mail provider as to how long they keep it for.

Email set up BES\Outlook (Office365)
One of our Blackberry users travelled abroad this week with his Blackberry.
Whist there, he noticed when sending emails, they were showing twice in his sent box, with one being in blue.
Any suggestions what this is and how it can be changed?
