Sent mail appearing as new mail

Why does every email i send out appear as a new mail on my iphone? Is there a way I can change this?

To answer your first question: Toggle your "recent" setting to eliminate the duplicate sent mail
For your second: Yes! Gmail now supports IMAP. Follow these instructions to set your account up as an IMAP account on your iPhone and mails you delete on your iPhone will delete from your inbox and vice versa:

  • Odd graphic appearing in drafts and sent mail opposite sender/date info

    Hi, I was wondering if anyone might be able to offer some advice...
    I've noticed just this past day or so that some of my draft and sent mail messages have inexplicably got a small image of a basketball appearing on the far right of the messages directly opposite where an addressee's name and the date of the message would appear. A friend has confirmed that he actually received a message with this basketball logo on it...!
    The only other time I have seen this logo was last night when I had launched my iChat program for the first time using my aol IM account details, and I'd noticed the basketball graphic had been assigned next to my name when the program was open... But after deciding the iChat program wasn't offering anything I preferred particularly over my existing aol IM account I deleted my account details in iChat and quit the program... Could this be related?
    Would be most grateful for any assistance- obviously with many business/work emails to send a basketball logo in the far right header of outgoing mail is not something I am happy with...!
    Thanks.

    Hello CMK.
    Since you have the option to store sent messages on the server, this must be a .Mac or IMAP type account.
    If so, quit the Mail.app and using the Finder go to Home > Library > Mail > Mailboxes.
    Locate the Sent Messages.mbox for this account - it will be Sent Messages (the IMAP account's name).mbox.
    All locally stored mailboxes for a .Mac or IMAP type account are located in the Mailboxes folder.
    Move the account's Sent Messages.mbox to the Desktop.
    When re-launching Mail, a new Sent Messages.mbox will be created automatically by Mail for the account within the Mailboxes folder when sending the next message with the account.
    This will prevent losing any new sent messages with the account while working on the old Sent Messages.mbox to recover the existing messages.
    Control-click on the old Sent Messages.mbox moved to the Desktop and at the menu window that appears, select Show Package Contents.
    Post back here listing the package content file names and size of each. This information is required to determine the next step to take.

  • Synched new iPhone but Sent Mail missing

    Hi everyone,
    I just synched a new iPhone to my PC and I am using Gmail. It sends and receives email fine, but the Sent messages do not appear in my iPhone sent mail folder. I've confirmed the correct settings for Incoming and Outgoing mail, but there is no "Sent Mailbox" option under Mailbox Behaviors.
    Any help would be much appreciated!
    Thanks!

    Ok, I just reset my password and it works now!

  • Outgoing mail not sent BUT appears in "SENT" folder

    G'day all!
    Just tried to send some PDF's about 225k in size and also a copy past version of the same doc via Mail app. ALL attempts appear to get sent and they DO appear in the SENT folder but they do not get to the recipient. All other attempts to send stuff goes but not but NOT this particular item. I have sent them to myself at various addresses incl. iCloud and my normal ISP's in box for my account. All were sent via iCloud outgoing but none arrived – only the "test" emails (to make sure it wasn't me) arrived All pdf's were made on an iPad. Any clues? very strange indeed! cheers, Sam

    No, no, no!!! Absolutely NO apologies nessecary!!! YOU are trying to help ME! <g> Let me start from the top.....I read an online article in a mag called the New Yorker. I wanted to send the article to several friends and NOT simply the link. I copy/pasted the article from "Reader" in Safari into Pages as a new doc. I "open in another app" from Pages as a PDF and tried to send it direct from Pages as described before AND "open in iBook" and tried to send it. It made the motions of going but the people did not get it. I tried to paste the body text into a normal email and agin no such luck. Every time it registers in the "sent" folder but does NOT arrive. I repeated all the above as me the recipiant and no luck. I tried other pdf's from both app (Pages &amp; iBooks) to me – no probs. Everytime anything is sent it appears in the "sent" folder but only THIS document/bunch of words, no go???? Curious huh?
    cheers,
    sam
    P.S. I have done a work around and sent the link but I though that someone might have an idea here......

  • Sent mail does not appear in sent mail folder

    Hi. Odd problem. I have done a search for this but can't find an answer.
    I have an IMAP account with PIPEX and mail will not display the sent messages.
    Mail has 3 folders - Inbox, Sent, Trash.
    IMAP account has 2 folders - INBOX and a sub folder sent-mail.
    Inbox/INBOX syncs fine.
    Nothing appears at all in Sent.
    Sent messages sync ok, as (using finder) they appear in my library at myusername/library/mail/IMAP-(mylogin)/INBOX/sent-mail.imapmbox/Messages
    For info, the inbox messages are stored at myusername/library/mail/IMAP-(mylogin)/INBOX.imapmbox/Messages.
    For info again I have store sent messages on server selected in preferences (because I need to see them from another computer)
    I have tried 'rebuild' several times on the inbox & the rebuild option is greyed out on the sent folder.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks
    Stringbag

    Hi Stringbag.
    This account requires INBOX to be put in Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > IMAP Path Prefix for Mail to handle it properly. Mailboxes on the server should not appear as subfolders of the account’s Inbox in Mail.
    After having done that, Mail should be able to properly save sent messages on the server, but maybe in a mailbox different from where you want them to be stored. To fix that, select the desired folder in Mail, and do Mailbox > Use This Mailbox For > Sent.

  • Sent mail does not appear in sent mailbox after sending

    Sent mail does not appear in sent mailbox after sending

    From reports on this site, Yahoo mail doesn't work reliably with Mail. The following steps may help.
    Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
    Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
    Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope Index
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    A Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have names that begin with "Envelope Index". Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
    Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is corrupt and that Mail has to quit. Click OK.
    Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the file you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

  • SENT MAIL NOT APPEARING IMAIL

    I have had the same gmail account for nearly 7 years. I have always used it with the apple mail program (IMAP). Suddenly in the last couple of days my sent mail has totally vanished (except for nearly 300 messages that seem to be pretty much just from this month and last). The messages exist when I access gmail online (I have nearly 9000 sent messages for this account). I have tried deleting and re-setting up the account and rebuilding it in Mail. This is very frustrating, as I often have to access old messages.
    My other email addresses seem to have the same issue as well. (me.com account and another gmail account).
    Does anyone else have this problem, or know what is up?

    I downloaded a different mail client (Thunderbird) and the same issue happened when I set up my gmail account. I wonder if it is a Gmail issue? My sent mail appears totally on my Iphone. This is driving me nuts!

  • Sent mail not appearing in icloud

    I use my macbook air, iphone and my ipad to send mail from my @me.com account. But when i send an email from my macbook it does not appear in the sent mail folder on icloud. The iphone and ipad both work properly if i send mail from either device it appears in the icloud sent mail folder.
    I've been trough the settings on my macbook and have the "Store sent messages on sever" option ticked, and the email accoutn is set up as an IMPA account but it still doesn't work.
    Any ideas how to fix this?

    Same here! Works on my iPad, iPhone and MacAir. But on my PowerMac the sent mail doesn't show up at all. I can't even find the messages I've tried to send so I can try retype them and resend on my iPhone.
    Does your "sent" folder continually beach ball? Mine is non-stop beach balls. Like it's trying really hard to update the sent folder but ran into a Sysiphus stone.
    hmm.

  • Sent mail not appearing in Internet mail box

    I have recently been using Mail on iMac and while I can receive and view all emails on it. But strange thing is that whatever I sent from Mail on the iMac, it just appeared on the Mail Sent box but do not appear on the internet version of email sent box or anywhere in the internet version. I do have an iPhone and the sent mail from the iMac Mail cannot be found too. However, receiptents do receive my emails anyway. It is frustrating and disappointed that this happened and unable to do work on my iMac in this way especially when I am travelling and away from my desk.
    Currently I am using Yahoo! .sg mail with IMAP and has checked thoroughly, including the outgoing server. Did many delete and re-installing but this does not seem to work. Maybe there are some steps that I have overlooked, or improper installation, could somebody help?

    I find that perhaps one message in ten is not saved to my sent folder. I am using .mac mail. I am storing sent messages on the server, draft messages locally.
    It seems that some kind of timeout on port 143 prevents the message from being copied to the sent folder, although the message is actually sent.
    This is clearly a bug. Even if there is a communication failure, the message should remain accessible somewhere, not drift off into the ether. It would be far preferable to risk sending twice by holding the outgoing message in drafts until the move to sent completes.

    So, Where sent messages are stored?
    Because if I go into my email account nothing appears in the outbox?Of course not. Why would it appear in your e-mail reader's outbox when your e-mail reader did not send the e-mail ?
    my Pl/sql looks like:
    BEGIN
    utl_mail.send(sender => '[email protected]',
    recipients => '[email protected]',
    subject => 'Test',
    message => 'HOlix');
    END;And this results in the Oracle database server to contact the mail server and send the mail. Your e-mail client is not part of this process. Your e-mail reader does not know about that e-mail. Your e-mail reader is a client- not a server. It has no reason to know what another e-mail client (your PL/SQL code) send or did not send.
    You want an outbox? You need then to design and code one for your PL/SQL mail client.
    I dont understand what happen?Perhaps you should read up on WHAT a mail (SMTP) server is, HOW it works, and WHAT a PPOP3/IMAP mailbox is, and HOW that works?

  • ICloud Mail Sent with iPad Not Appearing in Sent Mail

    Hi Everyone,
    For for the past few days, the email messages that I've sent with my iPad using my iCloud address do not appear in the iCloud Sent mail folder my iMac. But if I send an iCloud mail using my iMac, it does appear in the iCloud Sent mail folder on both devices. This problem does not occur using other IMAP accounts on my iPad. What's going on?
    The other thing that may be relevant is that there appear to be two Sent mail folders that appear in the iCloud account on my iPad. One is Sent with the paper airplane icon and the other is Sent Messages with a folder icon. On my iMac, there is only the Sent mail folder with the paper airplane icon. Curiously, on the iMac have see some sent messages from both of those sent mail folders from the iPad.
    I'm now concerned that some important iPad messages may not have been sent, and I now must backtrack and resend them.
    Regards,
    Gregory

    Most mail servers can be accessed in a web browser as well as in Mail. For iCloud, you go here:
    iCloud Mail
    Check for sent messages.

  • Sent mail has stopped appearing in the Sent box

    Hello,
    This problem just started 2 days ago. When I send mail I hear the little "sent" sound, but the email does not appear in my sent box. I am pretty sure that the emails are actually getting sent because I am getting replies to them.
    It's just really annoying to not know if something has been sent or not (especially when they are emails to my boss).
    I have an IMAP account set up with my school email address, and it has been set up for 2 years, it's working fine (the emails are actually getting sent to the best of my knowledge).

    What you say doesn’t make sense. If messages sent from this account have been saved locally on your computer instead of on the server all this time, it has to be because Store sent messages on the server was OFF. Otherwise, messages sent from this account would have been stored on the server (or not at all if Mail couldn’t do that for some reason).
    If Store sent messages on the server is ON, then the Sent mailbox that you see in Mail has to be somewhere on the server, but its real name could be something else (e.g. Sent Messages).
    Changing the Store sent messages on the server setting causes a different mailbox to become associated with the standard Sent, so it should be no surprise that the contents of Sent in Mail change as a result, but the mailbox that was previously associated with Sent doesn’t just disappear; it should appear somewhere else in the mailbox list with its real name and a generic folder icon.
    the "Sent" mailbox appears below the "Inbox"
    No, if you’re talking about the standard Sent with the paperplane icon, that’s not what I’m asking. Actually, I didn’t mention “Sent” in that question at all, did I? I asked about mailboxes on the server in general? Or doesn’t this account have any server-stored mailboxes?

  • Messages not appearing in sent mail folders

    We recently migrated from a linux environ to mac server snow leopard. I'm now using Thunderbird as a testbed for my mail client as we have deeply populated mac mail clients that we don't want to disturb if our migration goes bad. Previously, I used both the mail app on mac and Thunderbird as my mail clients depending... Previously, when I would send a msg from my blackberry it would appear in my sent mail folder (on any mail client). Now it does not. Any suggestions as to why? Thanks.

    Can you see the sent message when using webmail on the server? If so you may just need to map the sent area of each mail client to the proper folder on the server, assuming you are using IMAP.

  • Mail 4.1,not playing "new message" sound, and some sent mail not in outBox

    For some reason, no "new message" sound is being played (has been like this for a few weeks), and some (~1/10) sent mail does not show up in the sent box (been like this for a long time).
    And yes, preferences are set to "play new messages sound"
    Any ideas?

    I would guess that's an IMAP account, go into mail preferences and select advanced tab for that account and uncheck use IDLE command and the new mail sound should work.
    Not sure about the sent mail problem.
