"sent" mail doesn't show up, missing reply emails, sudden "deleted" emails

I have been hving some problems with Mail recently, three issues have become major Pains in the ***:
1. Just about every 3 or 4 emails that I send from my .mac account seem to go through but a copy or receipt of them don't show up in the "sent" mail folder/area.
2. If I reply to an email in my in box, it will show the little "you replied to this email arrow icon" but when I click on the arrow, it will say that the message "has been deleted or missing"
3. Lastly every 3-4 emails - As I am writing the note a window will pop up and say that the "email cannot be saved" but allows me to click "OK" and then continue typing the note and will sent it just fine.
Is there a master reset on Mail or can I reinstall just the Mail program ? ( i really don't want to do that) I ran disk utility and my drive seems to be fine, the permissions are good.
any help would be great.
thanks.

I'm having the same problem, although it is not with a .mac account, it is with IMAP accounts, which to the best of my knowledge is the server type used by .mac.
The weird part about all of this is that I use several e-mail accounts on my computer... one of them is a POP3, the rest are IMAP. Historically every message I've sent, regardless of the account, has been stored in the Sent folder, now only mail being sent from the POP3 account is being stored.
After unchecking the feature to store sent mail on the server for one of the IMAP accounts and sending a test message from IMAP address to POP3 address everything seemed to be working fine.... but I don't like that I had to do that. One of the reasons I use IMAP is so that I don't have to worry about what e-mails are stored where, because I use multiple computers.... but once I start telling my portable Macbook to no longer store outgoing messages on the server.... that could become a problem for me.
I've tried rebuilding the mailboxes several times to no avail. (Although I'm not entirely sure what rebuild does, I thought it'd be worth a shot)
And yes, my network card settings are just fine.
It might be worth noting that I've done a substantial amount of software updates over the past few days, and if I knew how to get you a list of those, I would.

  • Sent Mail Doesn't Show

    I have a gmail account setup for Apple Mail and I sent messages forward to my sent folder on gmail's site but not for Apple Mail. They don't show up immediately or after a few hours of lag. I have my account setup to save sent mails for a month. How can I bring my mail back to it's rightful place in "Sent"?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Why Mail doesn't show content of emails?

    Since some days Apple Mail doesn't show always the content of an e-mail message. In the window at the right hand of the columns with folders and incoming mail and in the fullscreen mode only the headers (To, From, Subject) are visible, not the content (text, images, attachments). If there is an attachment, I can see that by clicking 'show in Quicklook'.
    The problem started a couple of days ago. And sometimes Mail shows the content after receiving an e-mail, immediately after a first view no more.
    Rebuilding the mailbox doesn't change this.
    Thanks for your suggestions to solve this problem.

    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 text on the line below 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.

  • Mail 5.1 doesn't show my latest reply

    Is there any way I can get my mailbox that I synced to Gmail to show my last reply to an email thread? I suppose its not a big problem but its kind of annoying that I can't see my last reply unless someone else replies back and then it'll show it. Has anyone else have this issue? 

    Step 1
    Mail ▹ Preferences ▹ Viewing ▹ Display remote images in HTML messages: check
    Step 2
    If you still have the issue, back up all data before proceeding further. Whatever happens, you must be able to restore your system to the state it's in now.
    Quit Mail if it’s running.
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
    Drag or copy – do not type – the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
    defaults delete com.apple.mail PreferPlainText
    Quit Terminal. Launch Mail and test.

  • Mail doesn't show me the e-mail address

    Mail should show me the e-mail address, but it doesn't. I mean.. if I receive a mail from a my friend and Mail thinks it's a spam mail, it put it in the spam directory.
    I drag and drop it in the inbox mails, but if I do that, the e-mail address and object disappear!
    If I click it, I can see the preview of the mail and the email address and object appear again, but if I try to reply to the e-mail, Mail doesn't know (again) the mail address where to send the reply.. so I need to type it by myself. Is it normal?
    Here a screenshot:
    http://img524.imageshack.us/img524/3755/mailbugig2.jpg

    Oh I see... I'm sorry, iGodess, I should have looked at your screenshot first (I thought you meant something else just by reading), I'm really sorry.
    Am I correct: You see the name but not the address in the mailbox viewer (the upper part).
    What I see in your screenshot is normal. I'm afraid you can't change that, at least I found no way.
    What you see in the mailbox viewer is the name of the sender as you would enter it in Mail.app > Preferences > Accounts > choose one account > Account Information > Full name.
    If he wouldn't enter anything there, his eMail address will show in place of the (missing) full name.
    Your other problem related to replying with no usable address automatically entered: I guess this doesn't happen with all your messages, correct?
    Does it only happen with one friend of yours?
    If so he might have defined his Reply-To header wrong, which also could be a cause his messages land in your junk folder: Mail.app thinks "this can't be legitimate".

  • Viewing Sent mail has no content, attachments missing in Lion

    Lion and Mail 5.0 . Some Windows computers are unable to view email body content. Also attachements don't appear eventhough they have uploaded and show the correct file size in the my sent mail folder.
    Sometimes an attachment shows up as a thumbnail only with no attachement file.  PostBox works fine with these problem Windows computers.. body of text displays properly and attachments show up properly.

    Have you set Edit/Attachments/Window friendly in Mail?  There have been some reports that it doesn't work, but it is working for me.

  • 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.
