Sent mail not visible in Yahoo

I'm sure this question is in the wrong community, but there isn't one dedicated to Apple Mail so here goes nothing.
I have access to my Yahoo email account through the Apple Mail application. I can view, access and respond to all mail sent to my Yahoo email address. However whenever I create a message in Apple Mail the sent messages do not appear in Yahoo's Sent folder.
Is there a configuration setting that's needed in order to make this happen. When I asked the Apple rep at Genius Bar he said it's a Yahoo problem, and of course Yahoo says it's Apple's problem.
I'd appreciate any advice.
Thanks.

That's because you are accessing Yahoo as POP mail (where the messages are downloaded to your Mac) and when you send a message it's done from and saved on your Mac. The Yahoo webmail server isn't involved.
To do what you want requires IMAP access (where all messages reside on the server and are read from there by your Mac). I don't know whether Yahoo offers that option, you would have to ask them.
If you need to ask questions about Apple Mail, that's covered in the forum for your operating system, in your case (according to your signature) the Mac OS X v10.7 Lion forum. (This forum is for the long-defunct office application AppleWorks.)

  • Yahoo sent mail not saved to server when using Mail only.

    Why does my Yahoo sent mail not get saved to the server when I use Apple's Mail program? (I have it saved in settings to keep sent mail on server).  I can see it in my Sent mail folder on Apple Mail but not on the yahoo server.  It's an IMAP account and it works fine on my iPhone.
    I have tried changing the outgoing ports as well and erasing the account and reinstating it on the Mail program. No luck.

    This solved my questionRe: Yahoo Mail folder behaviour with Apple Mail 5.0 
    Dec 8, 2011 5:14 PM (in response to ernestobenedict)
    I finally figured out how to fix this; under the mailbox menu there is an option to "use this mailbox for" that allowed me to select the Sent Items folder from my Yahoo IMAP list of folders and make it the default for sent items from the Mac OS X mail software! "
    Thanks to ernestobenedict for this solution!!!

  • Email contents not visible using Yahoo mail, Windows 7 pro, FF3.6; email content fine in IE

    New laptop with Windows 7 pro; loaded FF....worked fine for a couple weeks....then, contents in email no longer visible-----just blank box where text would normally appear. Only known changes were auto updates to adobe and auto updates to Windows. Zonealarm security in place since beginning, no changes since installation. When using IE, email is visible.
    Just uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled. Same result....emails still not visible.
    Appreciate any suggestions.....I hate using IE.

    When you send mail the field you mention is used to populate the "ReplyTo: fild in the mail header. Otherwise it has no purpose and setting it to nothing will also work.
    Yahoo are obviously checking that field as you send mail. that is points to a valid address, and I have a sneaking suspicion that is might be required to point to your yahoo mail account.
    Historically the"Nigerian" type scam emails used a replyto address completely different from the one used to send the mail. So even if the sending account was closed down they still got the replies. The mail quite commonly originated in Yahoo and replied to Hotmail accounts. So I guess they have a check to try and discourage that legitimate, but undesirable from their perspective, use.

  • Attachments not visible in Yahoo mail under Firefox 18.

    Running under Firefox 18, attachments to received e-mails on Yahoo mail are not visible, as they used to be (and are under Internet Explorer). On downloading the e-mails (to Thunderbird) the attachments are there as expected.

    hello, in [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/947471 this thread] a user has found out that the problem might be related to the ghostery addon.
    add an exception for yahoo mail: click on the ghostery icon while you're in yahoo's webmail, choose "edit blocking options" & then don't block on this domain...

  • 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.

  • BCC myself but sent mail not showing up in Mail

    I have a BlackBerry. There is a setting where you can BCC an address for mail sent from the BlackBerry so you can have a copy of what you sent on your regular mail client. I've had this configured and it worked flawlessly with other POP3 mail clients I've used. Basically, the sent mail would be retrieved via POP3 as a regular message with the "from" and "to" fields intact. This is fine, and I don't care about being able to see "BCC" recipients. My problem is that Mail seems to be recognizing that the "from" address is the same as the "BCC" address and is getting rid of those messages for me, or ignoring them on the POP server. I thought of a few things, but none seem to be true -- My spam filter (SpamSieve) is not detecting the messages as spam. I also thought that perhaps Mail is doing something nifty like automatically moving the mail into sent folders. However, that's not true either. I also did a few different searches to see if my sent messages had come down somewhere and I was just missing them.
    So now I'm stumped. Is Mail making decisions for me behind the scenes? Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi Bmoua,
    What client did she use on the temporary computer? Outlook or outlook app or OWA?
    If she used outlook, it may download the sent messages to the local pst.
    In addition, I also recommend you use message tracking log to check if there are any messages had been sent out when she used temporary computer.

  • Sent Mail not found in sent file

    This started a few weeks ago.   Sometimes when I send a new message,  it does not show up in my sent file, leaving me wondering if it was sent at all,  and preventing me from reviewing the email too. 
    I looked in preferences for MAIL  and I do not see a way this could be a  choice that I somehow allowed.  I do have most of my sent file emails,  just occasionally don't have all of them.   One did go through,  the recipient answered back.
    I have the Snow Leopard limited version of iCloud and use the MAIL  on iMac most of the time.  The disappearing sent emails are the same in both locations.
    Can anyone help me with this? 
    Thanks

    Hi Ric,
    I have the exact same problem - I do also have two "sent" folders.
    It's like this: when I send from my web-mail the sent mails is in "sent folder 1" - when I send from the application Mail the sent mails ends up in "Sent folder 2"
    Best

  • SMTP sent mail not showing up in sent mail folder

    Hello,
    Setup:
    Exchange 2010 SP1
    Outlook 2010
    C# for sending mail, or Pentaho Kettle
    Not really sure how to explain, but I have the following scenario:
    Automatic programs send email using credentials (an active username / password on the domain. account linked to a mail box).
    Mail gets sent.
    Mail does not show up in the sent mail folder of the account
    I was wondering if there was a parameter on the Exchange server to configure so that the email sent via SMTP would show up in the sent mail box of the account.
    Regards,

  • 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 getting saved on server

    I have an IMAP email account that I am accessing using Mail. I have the preference set to save a copy of the sent mail on the server. When I check my email at work (not on this mac), I do not see any sent mails that were sent from the mac. Is there something else I must do? I do see sent mails from my work pc showing up in the sent mail folder of the IMAP account (not under the Mailboxes -> sent mail folder).

    Figured it out. Select the sent mail folder on the server and do Mailbox->Use this mailbox for->Sent

  • Sent mail not saved

    I have a problem with MAIL.  Since upgrading to Mountain Lion, my SENT emails are not being saved.  I selected my POP account mailbox under the SENT mailbox, and went to the MAILBOX pulldown, then selected USE THIS MAILBOX FOR, but SENT is not selectable.
    How do I get my sent mails to be saved in my Sent box.

    Maybe this will help. If you monitor the "More Like This" box, other solved threads appear. Opening them usually displays other threads.

  • 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.

  • Sent mail not showing in folder

    Greetings,
    Our Mac has three email accounts. For the last two days, one of the accounts does not show sent mail in the sent folder. The other two accounts are working properly. I have reviewed the MobileMe settings and the Preferences on Mac Mail and can't find the issue.
    The accounts are all MobileMe (IMAP) accounts and accessed via iPad, iPhone and Mac, but no device is showing sent mail since Monday.
    Any suggestions?

    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 anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
    A folder window will open. Inside it there should be files with names as follows:
              Envelope Index
              ExternalUpdates.storedata
    Move those files to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have longer names that begin as above. Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
    Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is damaged and that Mail has to quit. Click OK. Typically, the process takes a few minutes, but it may take hours if you have gigantic mailboxes. In that case, you may be able to speed things up by temporarily adding your home folder to the Privacy list in the Spotlight preference pane. Remove it when Mail has finished importing.
    Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the files you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

  • Sent mail not syncing with MBP Mail from iPad

    I just setup one of my email accounts with IMAP on my iPad and MBP to see how they will work together. When i reply to an email from the iPad it will show the little reply arrow in Mail on my MBP but will not show the message anywhere. Not in the top of the conversation or in any sent mail folder.
    How can I get it to sync the sent mail?
    Any help is appreciated!

    Please disregard this post.  I've found the answer to my own question! 

  • IMAP question - Sent mail not synching to IMAP server

    I have several new IMAP accounts (not .mac). They sync fine for received mail. They also sync sent mail fine when I use Thunderbird. But When I use Mail (X.3 - panther), even though I have the box checked to store sent mail on the server, it does not.
    --> no sent mail folder is created.
    --> mail sent from apple mail does nto show up in Thunderbird
    Is this a known bug?
    How can I work around it?
    Is it fixed in Tiger?
    Thanks, I have searched the archives. no luck.
    Grant

    no messages are ever added to it when I send from Apple Mail. The one email I sent from thunderbird does show up (in both). In another account, the one email I sent from webmail at the Madrid airport shows up, but not the hundreds I have sent in the interim.
    Sorry about the confusion.
