Sent emails and draft folder

Dear sir/Madam,
Sent emails are being saved in my draft folder.
Everytime i send an email, the same is being saved in the draft folder.
Its very annoying : ( . Please help?
Thank you,
Mohaned

I have about one or two drafts per month that are "stuck" in the folder and must be deleted manually, and I'm on 10Mbit/s and pretty stable, but the mail server is playing its own role as well. Sometimes it just happens.
BTW, under Mailbox Behaviors in the account's preferences in Mail, make sure that "Store draft messages on the server" is unchecked. It seems to me that when it's enabled, the "delete" command in case of a new draft version or once sent makes it even less often through, eventually leading to a few more drafts remaining there - at least with my server. Could be just my "notion" but if it's okay with you to have drafts only locally and not e.g. synced with other devices or "backed up" on the server, then it won't hurt.

  • IMAP Email: Sent, Trash, and Draft folder behavior

    I just did a fresh install of Snow Leopard where I'm unable to configure or sync the Sent, Trash, and Draft Folders in their specific top level sections. Although, I was able to successfully configure them in this way before I reinstalled Snow Leopard (currently running 10.6.6).
    I had 3 IMAP accounts within three top level folder sections called Inbox (3 accounts), Sent (3 accounts), Draft (3 accounts), and Trash (3 accounts) where all email was stored/synced on the IMAP server hosted by my webhost.
    After reinstalling Snow Leopard, I configured each account the same exact way where the Inbox folder was configured just fine on the top level but now the Sent, Draft, and Trash folders have now moved to the lower level "On My Mac" section where specific sections were created for each account (Example: (Account 1 - Sent, Draft, Trash). Although, I do see a Sent section in the top level with nothing in it.
    When configuring the email, I selected to store sent email, drafts, and trash on the server. Path is currently set to INBOX. I really do not understand why Mail is creating separate lower level "On My Mac" sections and placing the Sent, Draft, and Trash folders in there.
    I greatly appreciate any help or tips I can try to set my IMAP email the way I had it before.

    Select the 'Sent' mailbox in the lower section, choose menu 'Mailbox' > 'Use this Mailbox for' > 'Sent'.
    Repeat the procedure for the other mailboxes (drafts, junk, trash).

  • Email seems to be sent, but it doesn't arrive. No 'unable to send' message, sent items and draft folders are empty. The mail disappears.

    Email seems to be sent, but it doesn't arrive. No 'unable to send' message, sent items and draft folders are empty. The mail disappears. I tried to fully turn off the iPad and have it restart. But it doesn't go off. I keep seeing the small white 'turning wheel' untill the battery is gone. After that, it works again (and so does the e-mail). This happens about every week. What can I do?

    *there's no reason to be paranoid*
    Says Mulder .
    Anyway, as I mentioned, I don't use any sync-able email, just a very plain-jane POP email provider. iSync reports no devices and has nothing in its log, which matches my never having installed anything in need of syncing.
    The thing is, if Mail says its sending something when nothing was ever sent, that's a largish bug whether it is actually sending something or isn't, and there isn't really enough info here to know which of those are the case. Maybe Mail just displays "Sending" because an attempt to do something reasonable is timing out, maybe it does an innocuous and normal POP thing using very confusing nomenclature, or maybe it's really trying to send something which has a wrong flag or something. There isn't really enough info to know what is going on, so I was hoping someone could identify the symptoms.

  • IOS 7 randomly deletes sent emails and imports read email

    Hi all,
    I have updated my iphone 5 3GS to the latest version of ios 7 and it seems to randomly wipe all my sent emails and then downloads all the emails that I have previously read and deleted.
    Anyone else had this and has any solutions- it's incredibly annoying as I sometimes need to refer to sent emails and no longer have them on my phone.
    Thanks in advance for any ideas!

    If this email account is Hotmail:
    Hotmail has used POP for emails in the past and this does not sync if messages are read or not. This is an old standard and shouldn't be used any more.
    You can now use Exchange or IMAP for hotmail and this should mark them as read and stop this from happening again. Add a new mail account on your iPhone, and select Exchange instead of Hotmail/Outlook.com and sign in with your hotmail details. You may need to change the Mail Days to Sync options after you set it up to get all your emails back. Your hotmail account may also have put all your emails into a POP folder. Sign in to hotmail on a computer and move all the emails in that folder back into your inbox.
    If exchange does not work, you can try using IMAP, the details are
    Incoming Mail Server IMAPServer: imap-mail.outlook.com
    Outgoing Mail Server SMTPServer: smtp-mail.outlook.com
    To add the account, select other when you add a new mail account, and put in a nonsense email address for example "[email protected]" to avoid the mail app automatically setting up the account for you.
    Then select IMAP and input the proper details. your username is your hotmail address.
    If this email account is something other than Hotmail:
    It sounds like your email account is using POP which does not sync if messages are read or not, try to find out if your email account supports IMAP and enter those details like i explain in the bottom part of the hotmail explanation.

  • Lost Sent Items and Drafts

    I upgraded someone's iPhone 4 to iOS 5 this morning and then set up iCloud. Before there was only one email account, but it was expanded to two when a new me.com account was added during the iCloud setup process.
    The user's Sent Items and Drafts were lost.
    Is there any way to retrieve these items from the last backup without having to restore the entire iPhone from the backup that included the lost items?

    I can't imagine what's happening there, but it might help to run Clear-ActiveSyncDevice, and then configure it again. Unless you already tried it? I know there's not going to be much on the device that needs clearing, but it might reset some flags at the
    server end.

  • How do I restore email and drafts from Apple Mail in Time Machine after account was deleted.

    My Apple Mail email account was deleted by a support person and I lost several hundred emails and close to 1100 drafts that I desperately need. I have been using an external drive for backing up in Time Machine. 
    I do not know how to get my emails and drafts out of Time Machine and onto my Apple drive.
    Any help would be appreciated  HUGELY!

    Command-R to the rescue.
    Just hold down Command-R during startup and Lion Recovery springs into action. It lets you choose from common utilities: You can run Disk Utility to check or repair your hard drive, erase your hard drive and reinstall a fresh copy of Lion, or restore your Mac from a Time Machine backup. You can even use Safari to get help from Apple Support online. And if Lion Recovery encounters problems, it will automatically connect to Apple over the Internet.
    When boot into Recovery and select item 1, you will be given a choice of a point to recover from.

  • IPhone 5 sending all "Sent Emails" to "Trash" Folder and deleted items not showing up at all

    My boss has an iPhone 5 and today she realized that trash folder only has the last 50 emails that she has sent.
    The trash folder is empty.
    We use gmail. Her outlook is fine and the web interface is fine. She's tried restarting her phone. Will we have to delete the account and resync? (please say no...)

    Dear Mr. Rakesh Vijayan,
    What is your justification for below behavior?
    Using basic Gapps (free) email server,IMAP option client with MSO2013. Window 7 professional
    MO Professional Plus,
    (15.0.4535.1006), MSO(15.0.4535.1507)32-bit.
    Auto migrated/upgraded from MS2007 to MS2013 in March, 2013.

    Already configured Settings> advanced and deselect "Do not save copies of sent items
    Already configured File > Account Setting > double-click your IMAP account and adjust "Mail to keep offline" to "All".
    Since March 2013, 95% mails are getting saved/appearing in Sent Items folder. Only some times few mails are not appearing in sent item outlook client folder.
    All those emails are also appearing in All mail Folders.
    Any email sent from Gapps web interface/browser definitely getting save/ appearing in sent item outlook client folder.
    But now since last 4 days no email sent using outlook are appearing in sent items folder.

  • READING SENT EMAIL AND RETRIEVING DRAFTS

    Hello; another newby here........
    I live in the US, have done so for 3 years, and have never had a problem with BT Yahoo Email. Thats all I use BT for. Obviously my BB provider is NOT BT, it is a local company, but this is clearly not a BB issue. I pay BT a very small monthly subscription for email service.
    Using my laptop, I am receiving emails as normal. I can send emails as normal. And my corrrespondents are receiving them. But I cannot open any emails in my sent box. I also cannot retrieve half written draft emails. I can see my sent emails on my smart phone. So, something has gone wrong in my laptops settings. I have not consciously made any changes to my laptop. When I try to open emails from my sent box, a message appears on the right in a box under the heading ADBVERTISMENT and it reads exactly this:
    document write ("smart tag Error: malformed URL - st_rejected_query");
    Can anybody offer any advise as to what may have happened? Like so many on here, I am not PC savvy, so it may be glaringly obvious. Thanks in advance for your tips.
    Peter

    Its one of a number of Yahoo issues and there is very little BT Retail ISP can do about it.
    As your ISP is not BT, all you can do is complain to Yahoo directly.
    You may get some idea of the outstanding problems if you read some of the forum messages.
    There are some useful help pages here, for BT Broadband customers only, on my personal website.

  • Submit Form Via Webmail Is Not Creating Email In Drafts Folder

    Bottom Line Up Front: PDF's Submit via Email (Webmail) is not creating the email in the Webmail account.
    What I am using:
    =============
    * Adobe Acrobat Pro XI; however, I have a lot of users using Adobe Reader.
    * Yahoo! email
    What I am trying to do:
    ==================
    Send the data from a completed pdf to an email address via webmail.
    What Works:
    ===========
    Using the default application - Microsoft Outlook, the form's data is placed into an XML attachment and an email is created for review and transmission.
    What Isn't Working:
    ===============
    Sending the same form via the Webmail feature. Acrobat first provided the Yahoo account name and password handshake screen, and then I authorized Acrobat to use my Yahoo account. The form provided a status bar that indicated the email was being created and the attachment being added to the email; however, no email was ever created (and placed in my draft folder) and no email was sent (checked there too.)
    What I've Confirmed:
    ================
    I've gone to my Yahoo account's "Manage Apps and Website Connections" and confirmed that Acrobat is permitted to create emails (among other things). I've tested the non-webmail (default) email. I've confirmed in my Acrobat Pro XI preferences that the email account is there.
    All help is greatly appreciated.

    Yes. However, if I receive that 500th back I have violated the License. Though I believe you need to go back and read it again It seems to say you can only send out 500 copies.
    Either way would be breaking the intent of the license agreement.
    WE have fought hard just to get this little change made (for benefit of very small Business or even non-profits). So we don't want to cause Adobe to pull this out of the next version because of misuse.

  • Site mailbox no sent items or draft folder

    I have created a site mailbox on one of my SharePoint sites and added my self into SharePoint site owner group. The site mailbox is showing up in my outlook (2013) but no sent items or draft items folder? I have also checked OWA and no sent items or
    draft items folder aswell?

    Have you tried to delete a message from the Inbox by clicking the Delete in the toolbar? or have you created a Draft by trying to compose a new email?

  • Strange Mail Box behaviors Sent Mail and Drafts ...

  • Junk email and drafts

    (two separate issues)
    1 - i email sam mike and jim every day. very rarely one of their emails will end up in junk folder. why is this? it seems to happen randomly.. shrug.
    2 - sometimes when i send a mail.. it gets sent ok but a copy remains in the draft box and only goes away if i delete the copy in my draft folder. people do in fact get the first copy cuz several times i thought they didnt get it - cuz it was sitting in draft - so i resent and then they complained they got it 2x.

    I too have a similar problem. It seems that everybody who upgraded from an Exchange IMAP account has no problem setting the priority of their emails. Anyone who created a brand new Exchange account in Apple Mail from scratch, however, is in capable of setting the priority of their emails. I post this because I'm an administrator of the Macs at my school's library, and this is a very irksome problem for some. Please fix soon.

  • Mail in Yosemite won't save subject of emails in draft folder

    Recently updated to Yosemite. Ever since, many or most times if I create a new email and want to save it in the drafts folder, the subject field will be blank (even though it's not blank in the actual email if opened), or it will show only a portion of the subject. Creating another new email and trying again often works, but of course this shouldn't be necessary. It also won't save changes if the subject field of a draft email is edited.
    I've searched and found a few other reports of this behavior in Mail since Mavericks came out, but no suggested fixes or solutions.
    In case it matters, the email accounts are POP, not IMAP, and the only plugin being used is MailHub.
    Anyone else seeing this happen, or know more about it? Any way to know if Apple has acknowledged this as a bug and/or has a workaround for it?
    Thanks.

    Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

  • Apple Mail - sending multiple emails from drafts folder

    Hi all,
    So If I save few emails in drafts - then later want to send tham at the same time - I can go to drafts and highlight them and choose messages > send
    but the problem is each opens up and says:
    cannot send message
    This message could not be sent because your account does not have a preferred outgoing mail server. Select an outgoing mail server from the list below.
    - however - in accounts I do have a smtp chosen and use only this server is checked.... (and single emails work fine)
    - Q: so I want to be able to just highlight the several mail and send them all at once - without the extra dialogs......
    How do I fix this?

    Thanks Old Toad,
    i think I had done that....
    1 - So I just made 2 test emails from =  my main account and saved each in drafts - each says from = [email protected] as they all do and work corretly when sent...
    2 - then i go to drafts and highlight the 2 I just made - and choose menu - messages > send
    then it says are you sure...
    then it has this error for each one
    Maybe you can try this also to see if you have the same issue?
