Sent mail suddenly not being kept

I just noticed that both mail accounts on our computer are have not kept any copied of sent mail since the beginning of NOv. No e-mail addresses have been changed and all the settings are set for the sent mail to be saved in the preferences...what is wrong? Do I have to reinstall the mail to fix this?

For what type of account - .Mac, IMAP or POP?
If either account is a .Mac or IMAP type account, do you select store Sent messages on the server which is available under the Special Malboxes tab for the account preferences?
If both accounts are POP type accounts, how many messages are available in the Sent mailbox for each account?

Mail suddenly not being received from server. The ISP tells me there's nothing wrong at his end. I can see emails on the server if I look up WebMail; they don't come into Mail. I haven't changed anything lately.

Mail suddenly not being received from server. The ISP tells me there's nothing wrong at his end. I can see emails on the server if I look up WebMail; they don't come into Mail. I haven't changed anything lately. The incoming server details haven't changed; the Connection Doctor shows the accounts are connected; I've turned everything off including the modern. Have exhausted my limited knowledge. Anyone with something similar?

I have decided to dedicate this thread to the wonderful errors of Lion OSX. Each time I find a huge problem with Lion I will make note of it here.
Today I discovered a new treasure of doggie poop in Lion. No Save As......
I repeat. No Save As. In text editor I couldn't save the file with a new extension. I finally accomplished this oh so majorly difficult task (because we all know how difficult it should be to save a file with a new extension) by pressing duplicate and then saving a copy of the file with a new extension. Yet then I had to delete the first copy and send it to trash. And of course then I have to secure empty trash because if I have to do this the rest of my mac's life I will be taking up a quarter of percentage of space with duplicate files. So this is the real reason they got rid of Save As: so that it would garble up some extra GB on the ole hard disk.
So about 20 minutes of my time were wasted while doing my homework and studying for an exam because I had to look up "how to save a file with a new extension in mac Lion" and then wasted time sitting here and ranting on this forum until someone over at Apple wakes up from their OSX-coma.
are you freaking kidding me Apple? I mean REALLY?!!!! who the heck designed this?!!! I want to know. I want his or her name and I want to sit down with them and have a long chat. and then I'd probably splash cold water on their face to wake them up.
I am starting to believe that Apple is Satan.

Sent mail is not being received

Some of my emails use my me.com account are not being received by the recipient.
The emails show being SENT in my SENT box.

I have a similar but perhaps unrelated problem. Every now and then, I send an email on my gmail account using Mail. The sent mail appears in my sent box, but never arrives, and does not appear in my webmail sent box (where it usually does, using gmail). Most of the time it works, and it even works most of the time with people it has had a problem with, including mail I send to myself at work at my professional address. Usually arrives...but not always. I don't know how to trust my sent mail box without always going on the webmail to make sure it actually went out. I only have this problem when using the Mail application, but there are no other common characteristics (attachements, ISPs, etc) to say there could be a problem with one of those things. Anyone else have this problem?

Sent mail is not being deleted on iPad.

I read a support page that said it should automatically delete sent messages based on the setting for how many messages to display, after a time delay, but it is set to 20 yet I had 500 messages in a sent mail folder (pop account) dating back to early June. Has anyone else seen this problem or know what may be wrong?

I'm SO frustrated with this Yahoo! email integration... I'm seeing the same issues as you:
1) PUSH email stops pushing
2) "Sent" email messages ("whoosh" sound implies all is well) via Yahoo! are not actually being sent.
This would be bad enough if when sending email the client actually told me there was a failure... but it turns out it's been a completely transparent problem. All appears well, but isn't.
The only solution I seem to have found is to delete the Yahoo mail account in the Settings/Mail area, and then re-add it through the Settings/Mail UI. After doing this I find that Push notifications and the ability to send email via Yahoo! mail returns.
.... The problem is that - based on previous experience - it won't be long before the client, or Yahoo (I have no idea where the problem really lies) will quietly stop functioning again.
I'm also a Yahoo! Plus email subscriber, if this has anything to do with the issue. Any non-plus users out there running into this issue?
Apple / Yahoo / AT&T... PLEASE fix this!

Outlook 2010 sent mail items are being deleted and found in recovered items

My user has this issue with Sent Mail items not staying in the Sent items folder. Items are being sent to the sender. The mail messages are found in the recover items folder as if the deleted items folder was being emptied. This is not the case. No mail
rules have been set to move items to the deleted items folder. User does not have the option of clearing the deleted items folder upon exit of outlook. This does not occur on every message. This at times happens immediately after sending the message. The option
is selected in outlook to keep a copy of sent messages in the Sent Items folder. These are messages that are needed to be saved and have proof of them being sent to the end user.

Hi,
Is this issue reproduceable on OWA?
Please make sure the user doesn't use the account on other devices, which may possibly cause this problem to occur.
In case the hidden rules in Outlook caused the problem ,you can also try to use MFCMAPI to check and delete hidden rules from outlook:

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.

Yahoo e-mails are not being received on iphone 4.

Yahoo e-mails are not being received on iphone 4. I had to go website to retrieve about 50 emails from last couple of days. Everything looks correct in settings and I haven't changed anything that I know of. Please help if you've encountered this issue.

I tried the suggestion of deleting the account and starting over from scratch (twice), to no avail.

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?

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 Suddenly Says "must go online"

Hi,
I'm using OS 10.3.9 with Mac Mail 1.3.11. Recently, my sent mail has not been appearing. The name of the sender, date sent and topic show up, but the contents of the messages say "must go online" or something like that to download from the server. This message appears even when I am online. Also, I checked my preferences and under Special Mailboxes, my mail is NOT checked to save on server, so I thought it should be saved on my computer.
I checked a thread on this forum that suggested rebuilding the mailbox. I did that, and now NOTHING appears in my sent mailbox.
HELP! It was bad enough to lose the contents of my messages, but I really would like to at least get back the dates and people I sent my messages to, if at all possible. My log went back about 1 year. When I did the rebuild, I didn't get any type of warning that would suggest I might lose this info.
Thanks much,
CMK

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.
