Sent mail does not display!

I'm on OS 10.3.9 and using mail 1.3.11 About 3 months ago, all my outgoing sent mail stopped displaying. when I click the sent tab, the list of mails sent will display but when i highlight any of them the contents of the mail isn't there. This is the message I get "The message from <[email protected]> concerning “Fwd: Okay...here you are” has not been downloaded from the server. You need to take this account online in order to download it." Ok, I've already contacted everyone else (hosting company, internet provider etc) and everything seems fine on their end. Everyone seems to feel it is my mail client problem. I feel it's very important to have documented records of the mail I've sent and now I've lost that. Please help!!
  Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

I'm having this same problem, not only does it not show in sent mail, but the mail isn't actually sent. I have sent a ton of test emails to my self, and none have arrived. I'm a mac novice and I am a bit frustrated!

    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.

  • The search function on my "sent" mail does not work - can anyone help?

    The search function on my "sent" mail does not work. When I type in more than two letters into the saerch box - the sent mail screen goes blank. Any ideas how to fix this? Apple technical support has not been much help for the past five days...

    As this is the forum for the MacBook Pro hardware, your question will be better answered in the OS X Snow Leopard forum where the Mail app is discussed.

  • HT201774 my SENT mail does not show up in my iphone

    my SENT mail does not show up in my iphone and will not sync with the rest of my mail

    IF you are talking about Exchange on Google with Gmail (ie chose exchange and using m.google.com) here is what I did to fix it.
    Using your browser, sign into Gmail.  IF, NEAR THE BOTTOM of your folder lists, you have a label(folder) on the left side called "Sent Items" then delete it (mine never had anything in it and i think it's for conversations.)  BTW, I KNOW this is a Junk E-Mail (remember i already deleted my folder) but wanted to show you the drop down and Remove Label option.
    Then go to your  Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Exchange -> Mail Folders to Push -> and put a checkbox next to SENT (looks like a paper airplane)
    backout, go back into mail -> Exchange -> and you should then see the same paper airplane there.
    What was happening with mine was it would show up and then disappear as soon as it synced.  The only thing i can think of is that GMAIL has a folder called SENT xxxxx (that I deleted above) that confused the iPhone and i believe it's for Messages not Mail (via google talk)
    Once that was deleted, Voila!  No more missing sent mail.  Also, it has showed up on my iPad again.
    Hope this helps.

  • Sent mail does not sync between devices

    My sent mail does not sync between devices. For example, if I send an email from my Iphone it does not show in my sent box on the MAC mail (postage stamp). If I send mail from MAC mail it does not show on my phone.  But if I go to Yahoo (mail) I can see all sent mail.
    What am I doing wrong? Is there a setting that allows them to snch sent mail??

  • 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.

  • Mail does not display all lokal mail in folders

    Hi,
    I am using a couple of folders in Mail where I save messages locally. I noticed that some of the filters send mail to a special folder as they should, but the emails do not show up in Mail. When I go to the folder /users/name/Library/Mail/folders will I find the email as emlx file. Mail does not recognize them. I repaired rights, but nothing changed.
    Does someone experienced this problem before, is there a solution. For any help my thanks in advance.

    restore mailbox function of Mail was the solution ...

  • The contents of some yahoo mail e-mails does not display (except using No Style page View, or when doing a Reply), but IE works fine.

    For some (but only some) incoming Yahoo e-mails, Firefox does not show the text of the e-mail. I can see the text with the No Style page view. It also appears when I do a Reply. And, FYI, IE (both 8.0.7600.16385 and 8.0.6001.18702) have no problem with the same e-mails.

    Executing a refreshing read all query, based on the required locations, on UnitOfWork A, after UnitOfWorkB has committed will update the vendors within the UnitOfWorkA, including those that may have been added to a location. This is most likely the easiest to implement. For efficiency you may wish to use your Read Only Session to execute the refreshing queries for the Vendors. By performing the query based on the possible Locations you will retrieve all of the available vendors, including those newly added.
    uow.refreshAllObject(collectionOfLocations);
    ..or
    ReadAllQuery query = new ReadAllQuery(Vendors.class);
    query.refreshIdentityMapResults();
    query.setSelectionCriteria(query.getExpressionBuilder().get("location").equal(location));
    uow.executeQuery(query);

  • Since upgrading to Mavericks, Mail does not display the count of unread messages

    Hi,
    I upgraded to Mavericks from Snow Leopard (on a Macbook Pro mid 2009) when Maverick went out.
    Since then the count of unread messages in the Inbox is not displayed on the Dock Icon, nor in the app itself (the label Inbox does not change to bold with a count of unread messages when I do have unread messages).
    I did when to see the preferences of the app to see if the move from Snow Leopard to Maverick changed anything but I could not see anything odd.
    Anyone having the same problem?
    Thanks in advance.
    Cheers,
    Martin Monnier

  • Sent mail does not synch

    Hi
    I use Mac Mail with OS 10.5.8 on my iMac and 10.6.4 on my MacBook; I have a couple of IMAP accounts. On both machines the settings are the same, but my sent mail only appears on the machine from which is it sent, and there is no way I can get it to sync. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?
    Many thanks!
    Steve

    In the mail app on the left side, you should be able to see the folders that belong to each IMAP account. If you flip down the triangle, you will see its subfolders. If using gmail, for example, flipping down will show the inbox, sent mail, trash, etc. You need to click on the sent mail folder and from the mailbox menu, choose "Use this mailbox for... Sent Mail". This will tell mail to use the server's sent mail folder instead of keeping sent mail only on the local machine. I hope that helps. I think this works with multiple IMAP accounts, (it will make a pull-down arrow next to the sent mail). Good luck, I hope that helps.

  • My sent mail does not show in the sent folder

    I can send mail but the mail doesn't show in the Sent mail folder...why is that? I am a Verizon user.

    It's fixed...I changed settings Mailbox Behavior to "on the server." Worked for my iPad mini, also.

  • Sent Mail does not show anything

    I am using two AOL e-mail addresses for my mail. I can receive and send mail ok, but the Sent Mail never shows anything. In Mailbox Behaviors I have checked the box for Store Sent Messages on the server, and for Delete sent Messages, it says Never. Anyone know how to fix this? Thanks.

    My nephew has an iMac and he gave me the very easy answer to this question. Just go to Mail, Preferences, Accounts, Mailbox Behaviors, Sent, and uncheck the box that says "Store sent messages on the server".
    If you have more than one e-mail address, you need to do this for each one.

  • Mail does not display in viewing window. Please help

    Hi, I have been told to come and post this here.... I think I put it on the wrong board. I am receiving my mail into inbox but it will not show on the screen. I have a pop account for myself and a secondary account for my partner. His mail is showing on the screen but mine is not. I am a real techno phobe and am hopeless, so please if anyone does know how to fix this, I can only follow simple instructions....sorry to be a pain.
    Thanks for looking,
    Jen

    Ok, so that wasn't it, since your preview pane is clearly there.
    So, if it just happened, and if you have done nothing that you know that should affect this, perhaps the problem is on the mail account provider's end, not yours.
    For example, I have my Gmail automatically forwarded to another email account; on a couple of occasions, mail on Gmail has just not shown up in the other account for several hours (almost a full day, once). Not sure where the problem was, but it wasn't me
    So, you might check the website of your mail account provider to see if there's a problem on their end (either an announcement or in the help/support section of the site). Especially if your partner's account is with the same provider, but even if your partner's account is with a different provider, I'd still recommend checking with your provider.
    Hope this helps...

  • Sent mail does not show up in Sent (airplane) mailbox

    My dad just got his first Mac. He depends on (massive amounts of) email for his work, and used Outlook on his old laptop. Switched to Mac and is using Mail.app now. All his old email is now imported (with O2M) and mostly looks fine.
    Except any email he sends is not being copied to the Sent (paper airplane) folder as expected even though the account preference "Store sent messages on the server" is checked.
    I must be missing something simple but can't find it and it's important that this is fixed.
    Thanks!

    Playing around in Mail.app I fixed it hopefully this topic will be useful for someone else in the future:
    I had a mailbox on my IMAP account called Sent. It showed up as a regular folder and was used by the webmail app (squirrelmail).
    I selected it, and in the Message menu selected Use this Mailbox for > Sent.
    The Sent folder I had became the new 'airplane' folder and it now shows up.

  • Mountain Lion: Mail does not display directory when attaching file

    After upgrading to Mountain Lion, when composing a Mail message and attempting to attach a file, the directory window opens and nothing is displayed. Trying to attach via the paper clip button, not drag & drop. The gear spins continuously but nothing is ever displayed (at least not for the 10 minutes I waited). Doesn't seem to matter which directory is chosen, no files are displayed. Anyone seen this problem? Thanks.
