Sent mail duplicated as draft

Mail has started duplicating most of my outgoing email messages in my "drafts" box. Is there a way to make it stop?

I'm having Sent mail end up again in Draft, but am getting a Swish and confirmed deliveries. This should be a easy fix...right? Anybody have the latest/greatest idea? I recently changed over to Imap from Pop to allow multiple deliveries to devices; this is when it started. Using a T1 service and my account there is not experiencing this when logged onto/reveiw mail on it.

Iphone 3, sync'd with Exchange, sent mail goes to draft folder

Sent Mail (Exchange Account), is going to the drafts folder

NOTE: This also applies to Exchange 2010
You may want to check that you are getting Event ID 15002 or 15003 logged to the Application event log first before making this change.
See this
ExchangeServerPro article for reference.
Also, see this
Krudler blog post for shortened version.
Please ensure if you are modifying the
"PercentageDatabaseDiskSpaceUsedHighThreshold" value in the EdgeTransport.exe.config file, you should take into consideration the percentage value notified in the Event Log.
See this
MS Technet article for more technical information.
I had the same error as Shimon1 when using the MailFlow Tool in Exchange, however I did not have event 15002 in my Application Event Log. I resolved this problem by:
Modify the TCP/IP network protocol settings using the following commands
netsh int tcp set global chimney=disabled
netsh int tcp set global rss=disabled
netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled
netsh int ip set global taskoffload=disabled
I noticed when viewing individual messages in the queue in Exchange Management Console Queue Viewer, they had this message:
"Error: 4.3.2 432 STOREDRV.Deliver; recipient thread limit exceeded"
This was resolved with the help of this
MS blog on Exchange SP1 improvements.
I made the following addition to the EdgeTransport.exe.config file.
<add key="RecipientThreadLimit" value="2" />
<add key="MaxMailboxDeliveryPerMdbConnections" value="3" />

Mail leaves a draft even after the email is sent

I recently got my mail fixed (Hide/Show) was not working, which changed my mail from POP (which I liked) to IMAP (which I don't). I don't know if that is causing the problem vs. the way Mail handles Gmail with IMAP because it was never a problem before.
When type an email and send it, it leaves a copy in my Drafts folder.   Shouldn't that go away once the mail is sent?
This is more annoying than anything else but I'd like to find a way to fix this if possible.
I just check my preferences and it is set to Store Draft Messages on the Server. I don't know what that means?   Could that be causing this problem?

They have been sent. It is making a draft, sometimes a day later. I don't want to have to keep going through my sent mail to see if my email went then go delete the draft. I shouldn't have to do that.   It never did this before my mail was changed to IMAP.
I just checked my Mail Preferences and it says to Save the Draft to the Server.

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.

Can't save drafts, doesn't save sent mail thru imap account

I learned what an imap account was when I signed up for my .Mac account. I like the idea of sent mail being saved on the server and shared to all my computers. It saves duplication of effort between the two of us working here. So, I've recently had my web guy switch my old POP account to an imap account. But there's problems.
Whenever I begin composing an email to be sent through my new imap account, I get a message that says, "This email cannot be saved." I can compose and send the email through that account, I just can't save it to my draft folder. When I hit the "Save as Draft" button, it seems to try to save. The "Save as Draft" button goes gray for a couple of seconds but, afterward, I can't find any trace of a saved draft. There's not even a Draft "mailbox" or subfolder under the main "Drafts" heading. Also, once the letter is sent, it doesn't show up in a sent mail folder, I suppose because, again, there isn't a sent mail subfolder for that account.
My web guy showed me how in his Thunderbird mail preferences he's asked to choose a folder in which his drafts and sent mail will be saved. I can't find a question like that in the Mac Mail preferences. Even if I were asked where I want the mails to be saved, those folders would have to be on the imap server for the contents to be shared between computers, right?
Two side notes, there is an inbox for this imap account, just no "Sent" or "Draft" folders and second, I'm on OS X 10.4.10, Mac Mail Version 2.1 (752/752.2).
Anyway, does anyone have any idea what's going on and how it can be fixed?
TIA,
Peter

Yes! Brilliant! When I followed the first half of your instruction (this account requires INBOX to be typed in Preferences, etc.) the imap server did indeed create the draft folder and when I sent the email it created a sent mail folder. Just what I wanted! Thank you. I'm so grateful!
OK, now a couple more questions based on things that seem to have started happening as a result of following the first instruction.
Now, instead of not saving drafts, it's saving two, three or four. Just as an experiment, I tried writing a letter to be sent through Mac.com. As I wrote the letter a draft appeared in the proper draft folder. When I changed the subject or added a recipient, that draft was amended to reflect my changes. In the new imap draft folder a new draft was added each time I made a change. They all went away once I sent the message so I see that as a small problem.
Second, since I saw the draft and sent mail folders appear, the inbox for that account is acting oddly. The little whirling icon that appears when incoming messages are being checked shows up as expected next to each box (subfolder). In the case of the account where the changes were made, the whirling icon freezes and does not display the number of new messages until I actually click on that subfolder. One other little issue that might be related; mail that appears in the new imap inbox doesn't always appear in the overall inbox (atop all the subfolder inboxes). If I click on that inbox subfolder, the mail will appear.
Third question/comment, the second half of your email suggested that if I succeeded in getting email to "save messages on the server, but maybe in a mailbox different from where you want them to be. To fix that, select the desired folder in Mail and choose the appropriate option from Mailbox > Use This Mailbox For. " Although it seems to be saving in the right folders I looked at the "Use this mailbox for" command and the choices are grayed out no matter which mailbox I choose, whether it's a subfolder mailbox, a main mailbox or a mailbox folder I've created. I don't care but I'm curious. Is that odd?
Thanks so much for your help so far! This is just great!!!

Mail is putting multiple copies of sent emails in my drafts folder, or in trash.

Mail is putting copies of emails successfully sent in my drafts folder, sometimes multiple copies, sometimes in trash.
Also, new email keeps entering my inbox after I've moved it to other mailboxes or to the trash or junk mail. Also, if I search for a name to which I have sent or from which I have received an email, the results shows a copy of each mail in all these mailboxes: Important, All Mail, Sent Mail, Sent G-Mail. This is a recent phenomenon. For every sent email I get 5 copies in my trash box.

I phoned up Appe Support yesterday and i discovered that SOME (not all) of my trouble was caused by my 2 Gmail accounts, which werent correctly designated as Gmail Server WITH the correct password, it was set to use the server from one of my other accounts.
I do still have another problem which doesnt go away, i open Mail normally and there is ghost Open Window, which cannot be opened, to view my Mail i have to open a NEW viewer window, even though there is a Window open all ready, the Ghost window !

When is Draft folder Sent mail and when is it STUCK mail?

i am having problems with outgoing mail and adding to this i am having problems figuring out what has in fact been sent!
obviously if i have mail in a SENT folder it has presumably been sent and arrived.
however, if i have mail in a DRAFT folder does this mean it specifically has not been sent? i mean, i oftentimes find /partial/ drafts in my DRAFT folder and i am wondering if i need to look at the draft email to see if it is completed or partially (god only knows how reliable this will be) with the assumption that if it is PARTIALLY COMPLETED there may in fact be a completed version of it in the SENT folder? alternatively, do i have to somehow search the SENT folder to see if the email is there to see that it is not in fact stuck in the draft folder?
i just ran into FOUR emails that do not appear to have been sent to the person that i was sending to but since i think i hit SEND on all of them i cannot 1. figure out why they were in the DRAFT FOLDER but more importantly i 2. CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHICH MAIL IN THE DRAFT FOLDER IS BASICALLY stuck in the OUTBOX. and since there does not appear to be an outbox in Mail on my macs (as there is in Mail on my iPhone or in Sparrow on my iPhone iu basically have to ask a byzantine question like this to figure out an absolutely mission critical issue as to whether important business mail is basically stuck in mail on my mac and WHY i don't know about this and cannot figure it out either.

I know there is an issue in Mavericks Mail with messages being saved to Drafts that were actually sent, but am not sure if this also affects Mountain Lion Mail.
What is happening as you compose your message, Mail is saving the current version in Drafts. It's supposed to remove the Draft message after sending but in Mavericks Mail this is currently not working as expected. The workaround is to save your Drafts for IMAP accounts to the "On My Mac" Drafts Folder.
If you put Mail in offline mode then try to send you should see your Outbox.
Personally, I know I often start a message then before I complete I get a call and forget about the message only to find it later in the day hiding behind my Mail window.
You can eliminate Mail by testing in Postbox and MailMate. Both have demos.
http://www.postbox-inc.com/ $9.95
http://freron.com $49.99
Setup in MailMate is super easy since it imports your account info from Mail. MailMate supports IMAP only.
Postbox has a nice interface and includes features like adding DropBox links in a message.

Ramesh,
To paraphrase [url http://asktom.oracle.com]Tom Kyte, "holy unreadable code, Batman!"
Code is much more readable if you put "[ code ]" and "[ /code ]" (without the spaces and quotes) around your code samples.
Seems to me this would be a function of how the email server you are connecting to works - perhaps there is a folder called "Sent Items" or "Drafts" that you can use in this line (note the code tags ;) :
Folder fldr = store.getFolder("INBOX");Not sure if this is possible via POP, but it is in IMAP. Hint: use google and search for:
javax.mail "sent items"
you'll get some helpful information. Nothing to do with JDeveloper here.

Hi Subhash,
I have done the troubleshooting but I didn't find any problem at server side. I will send you mail also with all EXBPA report and as well DC, HC and Mailbox servers' Application Log and System Log.
Below are the questions's answers which was asked by you:
1.     Please check whether you can send email via Outlook.
I am not able to open the MS Outlook. Please check all details in this thread : http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/exchange2010/thread/c491c5c7-7d6f-48ff-97fa-6bf83d94e53c
2.     Please run EXBPA to have a health scan.
I have run the EXBPA and didn't see any critical Problem. I have took the screen shot and report. Please have a look in below screen shot link:

3.     Please check application log, whether any error event logged there. They could come from ADAccess related error or etc.
I didn't see any ADAccess event on the server. For this I have left my lab PC open and I will check again.
4.     We find that if mail .que gets corrupt, then this issue will occur, please try to move the affected user to another store and then test the issue.
I am facing this problem with all users (7 users). Anyway I moved one user from one server Mailbox Database (2mbx2010) to Other Server Mailbox Database (mbx2010). After that
a) Rebooted the Workstation
b) Login successfully with same user.
c) Delete the Old MS Outlook Profile
d) Create New profile for same user without any problem.
e) Tried to login in MS Outlook and got the same error. : http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/exchange2010/thread/c491c5c7-7d6f-48ff-97fa-6bf83d94e53c
f) Open the OWA successfully for Same user.
g) Tried to send mail but again mail went to Drafts Folder.
5.     I noticed that you test the issue after you close outlook. I recommend you to reboot your pc and then access
mailbox via OWA to test the issue.
I tried you suggested option, but sorry it also couldn't help.
6. You also check your disk space.
     All Servers have Enough Disk Space. Check the EXBPA Report.
7. You may run EXTRA to get log information for further troubleshooting.
Need more time for this.
8. Please save application log, system log as *.evt file, then send them with EXTRA,EXBPA report to [email protected] .

There will be some error log you will be that the system is not able to communicate with DC/DC, MBX or HC at everyday around 3 AM or some time 6 PM Evening also. These error came because I have installed VM on Windows 7 Workstation and after 45 min or one hrs. if I don't work on PC, then pc goes to sleep. so you may ignore these alerts.
I hope my answer will give you some clue and I expect more help from your side.

Mutt/Offlineimap Sent mail is showing up in Gmail Inbox

Hi,
I am just starting my journey with mutt and quite like the interface thus far but I am having trouble with sent emails showing up in my Gmail inbox. It is a little annoying to always have my sent emails appear as unread in my inbox. In my search for a solution I have found that this behavior sometimes occurs if you have Gmail filters that are set to never send to spam, I checked and do not have any such filters. This could also happen if I had $record set, but I have specifically unset record. My muttrc and offlineimaprc are as follows (I used several tutorial sites to help create these) (I have hashed out some personal details):
muttrc
# Paths ----------------------------------------------
set folder = ~/.mail # mailbox location
set alias_file = ~/.mutt/alias # where to store aliases

folderfilter = lambda folder: folder not in ['[Gmail]/Trash',
'[Gmail]/Important',
'[Gmail]/Spam',
I use msmtp to send the emails (and they do send) but as far as I know that program should have nothing to do with my folder labeling.
What happens exactly: When in mutt, I press 'm' and compose an email and send with 'y'. Oddly enough, the email appears in my gmail inbox (the webmail) even before I sync mutt with offlineimap (I don't automatically sync). Once I sync, I see the email in both my sent mail and inbox.
Any thoughts would be appreciated

You have unset the record variable.

How to download the "Sent Mail" folder from Gmail to Mail 4.1?

Since updating to Snow Leopard I no longer have any mail in my Sent Mail folder
when using IMAP in Mail 4.1. In fact just a few (258) of all my sent messages (3732)
were properly downloaded.
I noticed that after configuring my Gmail to work with Mail/IMAP some new folders were
created. They are: [Gmail]/Sent Mail/Sent, [Imap]/Drafts, Sent messages, and Deleted Messages. Apart
from those, my Gmail account has always had standard folders such as Inbox, Sent Mail (the majority of my sent messages are in here), Drafts, Spam, and Trash. Apparently Mail is only downloading the messages from the new "Sent messages" folder and not the standard "Sent Mail", wherein all my sent messages actually are.
Another issue it that the spinning gear next to the Gmail Inbox in Mail 4.1 keeps spinning incessantly as if checking for new messages all the time even though it is set to check for new messages every 5 minutes and all messages has been downloaded. I have another IMAP account for my university's email which is working perfectly (neither problems with Sent Mail folder nor spinning gear). I will post the spinning gear problem in a separate question.
In my old MacBook I didn't have this problem when using Gmail with POP. This is the first time I'm using IMAP.
Is anybody having the same problems?
I appreciate your help in advance.

you can change Your Sent mailbox to "Sent Mail". select Sent Mail mailbox, go to mailbox menu->use this mailbox for->sent.

10.6.8 update ate all my sent mail!

Never happened in all my years on Mac: The update to 10.6.8 disappeared the contents of all Sent Mail Messages folders. Why and how would it do such a thing?
All POP mail accounts, three GMail and one Comcast. Wondering if making IMAP accounts will bring them back ... but really, Apple, ***? I prepare for updates, keep a clean, updated machine—MacBook Pro 17"—repair permissions after updates ...
Thanks for any clues/advice,
Connie

Same problem as humorzo. My inbox consists of 10 different email accounts, including MobileMe, Gmail, other IMAP and POP based accounts. NEVER had any issues with Mail or OS upgrades until 10.6.8. Literally did two hours of email composing and sending off, only to realize that NOT one left the building and there is NO record in the DRAFT, OUTBOX or SENT Mail folders of any of the emails I sent. As humorzo very aptly states - 10.6.8 with Mail ATE all my sent mail.
I tried rebuilding mail boxes. It has now otoally screwed up my SENT MAIL - more missing than before rebuilding, dates screwed up.
NOT Happy - deleted mail prefs file (after copying original to a safe spot). That didn't help - so reinstated original mail prefs file.
Checked DIsk Utility. Drive is fine - repaired disk permissions. All to no avail.
Apple - you have a problem here - please work this out ASAP.

Sent mail occasionally not stored in sent folder

Hi,
we encountered weird problem with OS X server behaviour where user sent email via smtp server and it is not stored in his/her mailbox.
This issue is happening time to time I would say almost randomly.
Do you have any idea why this is happening and where is the sent mail?
I picked a case and gathered relevant logs:
Thank you in advance

I have a few users reporting the same problem. It is inconsistent and I have not found a way to reproduce it at will.
Our users have been BCC them selves so they have a copy to move to sent it if is not there.
They have also reported mail being copied to the Send and Drafts folders when they send it.
When they login from a different mail client the folders are the same. So I am assuming the problem is server side? Or at least the result is.
Is it the clients job to ask the server to move the mail from outbox to the sent folder?
I think this is where the problem is occurring.
We were looking at it this morning and moving mail around from Drafts to Trash and Sent. Mostly it moved around fine but there was one instance where we moved mail from Drafts to Trash.
We then quit and opened mail again (we waited until the activity window was empty)
The mail we moved to Trash was gone. But a new mail was in Drafts that had been sent earlier that morning. A copy was still in the Sent folder.
We could not reproduce this.
We also have roundcube but it is the mail.app clients that notice the problems. They are the majority so it is to be expected.
Clients OS X 10.10.2, mail.app 8.2
Server 4.0.3, OS X 10.10.2, Roundcube 1.0.3 (Topicdesk Roundcube Installer 1.0.3a)

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?
JChanSGP

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.

Some sent mails do not appear in "sent"-folder

Dear fellow Apple enthusiasts,
can anybody please tell me whats going on?
Since Mac OS 10.7 (i am now on 10.8.2) i have constantly expierenced loss of sent mails.
Just now again I sent out an email from one of my IMAP accounts which does not show up in my "sent" folder.
Many do, but some are just not there, allthough they are being recieved by the person i sent them to.
I am ittle bit clueless, any ideas?
thanks

The following article segment doesn't apply to you directly, however, in it may be contained the solution to your problem...
http://www.macworld.com/article/1157846/mailgmail.html
Step 4: Fine-tune your Mail settings
Now that Gmail is all set, it’s time to tweak your Mail settings to be on their best behavior. Go to Mail -> Preferences, and select your Gmail account. Click on the Mailbox Behaviors tab and:
Enable Store Draft Messages On The Server if you want your drafts to be accessible in Gmail on the Web.
Make sure Store Sent Messages On The Server is checked, and that the Delete Sent Messages When popup menu is set to Never.
Enable Move Deleted Messages To The Trash Mailbox, but disable Store Deleted Messages On The Server. This is the other half of the feature we set up in step 3. Mail will create its own Trash folder that is stored locally on your Mac, but in Gmail on the Web, messages will be archived and searchable. Close the settings window and click Save to accept your changes.
Find your Gmail folders in Mail’s sidebar, unfurl the folder called [Gmail], and then select the Drafts subfolder. Then select Mailbox -> Use This Mailbox For -> Drafts.
Select the [Gmail] -> Sent Mail subfolder and choose Mailbox -> Use This Mailbox For -> Sent
Finally, select the [Gmail] -> Spam subfolder and select Mailbox -> Use This Mailbox For -> Junk. These last three actions ensure that Mail and Gmail are on the same page when it comes to which folders to use for storing these types of messages. If you use multiple Macs, be sure to go through these motions in Mail on each one.
Your Gmail account and Mail should now be humming along together about as in tune as they can, given their different approaches to handling e-mail.
