Sent messages are not sync'd with Entourage 2008 folders

1 week into the PC to Mac transition. All of my inbox messages were sync'd with Entourage but not the sent messages. I use comcast mail. I am able to send and receive messages.

I have a similar occasional problem with an IMAP account using a Comcast Business Class Exchange server. I use Mail and my iPhone to access the account; I'm running OS X 10.6.4 on my laptop but my "sent messages" issue predates the latest release.
The first time I noticed this issue I thought, "I'll just access my mail via the Comcast web portal. It'll be in the 'sent' folder there." No dice. The "sent" messages simply never stay on the server, yet my recipients get them.
It's distressing. First, the solution would appear to be a switch to a MS mail client, which I swore off years ago. Second, I rely on having a "sent" message as a record. I switched off IDLE per your suggestion, Ernie, but otherwise I'm in the same boat as the others here. Please keep this thread alive. I'm hopeful that this can be resolved.

  • Lion IMAP account - Sent messages are not sync

    Hi all,
    this question is not strictly related to Lion, as this "problem" sussist even in the old Leopard, however I was believing it woul have been fixed with the new version.
    I've my Mac Book Pro with all my email configured as IMAP.
    This is great, I see my Inbox with the same exact copy of the message available online. When I send a message, this is stored in the sent mailbox, and this is great too.
    But why all the old messages are not seen in the sent mailbox as well?
    It doesn't make sense to me, and there is any option that make a difference. I was initially believing the "keep a local copy of the message" was affecting this.
    But the most frustrating thing is that at the very bottom of the left aside there is a second entry, one for each account, which essentially show me a sort of "raw" account with all the folders and labelled messages as the online structure. Is it possible to get rid of that too?
    Many thanks
    Andrea

    I've had the same problem for a while, even before Leopard. It definitely occurs more often when sending bigger messages (i.e. with attachments), and on slower connections (cell card, or even shaky wifi). Always unsettling when I notice it, and seriously frustrating when a Send fails and I've forgotten to Save as Draft.

  • Sent Messages are not saved in Sent Mailbox

    It was working correctly but suddenly all my sent messages are not saved in the Sent Mailbox. I follow all the Mail Help instructions but nothing seems to work. Hope that someone can help me. I asked for help on december 14 but it was not helpful

    The mailboxes drawer contains all mailboxes under In, Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk (if you have Junk Mail set to automatic).
    If you have a .Mac or IMAP type account, you also have an account named icon for the .Mac or IMAP type account at the bottom of the mailboxes drawer. It is named by the Account Description you provided/entered for the account under the Account Information tab for the account preferences.
    If you select save Sent messages on the server for a .Mac or IMAP type account, the account's Sent mailbox will be available under the account named icon in the mailboxes drawer along with all other server stored mailboxes.
    To open the account named icon for your .Mac account to reveal the server stored mailboxes including the account's Sent mailbox, select the black triangle beside your .Mac account icon in the mailboxes drawer pointing it down.
    Select the account's Sent mailbox and at the menu bar, go to Mailbox > Use This Mailbox For and select Sent.
    If you deselect store Sent messages on the server for the account preferences, the account's Sent mailbox will be available under Sent in the mailboxes drawer and you can't use "Use This Mailbox For" for mailboxes stored locally on the hard drive. It can only be used for .Mac or IMAP type account mailboxes that are stored on the server.

  • Mail 3, smtp, IMAP: sent messages are not saved on server

    Hello,
    I had problems using Mail 3 after I upgraded to Leopard, so I used Thunderbird for the time being. With the update 10.5.1 I tried again: most problems solved BUT: sent messages are not saved on the server in mailbox "Sent".
    Some background: I deleted the folder "<User>/Library/Mail" and "<User>/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist" and configured Mail from scratch.
    To be sure: I still have Thunderbird installed, and when I send with Thunderbird: a copy is placed in "Sent".
    Another thing I noticed: it takes more than a minute to send from Mail 3 and a few seconds when I send from Thunderbird. I have another Macbook Pro with 10.5.0 installed: same problem with sending.
    Any help is appreciated.

    Well, be stumped I did all that, but to be sure, I did it again:
    I have a lot folders with subfolders and they are shown under my account name.
    I created a new folder "test" in my IMAP account and designated it to be the new "Sent" folder. It replaces my previous Sent folder in the group Inbox, Drafts, Trash. My previous Sent folder now appears under my account name as a "normal" folder.
    I send a message and the Activity monitor says: +"Delivering message: copying message"+. After a minute Mail is done. I check my (new) "Sent" folder and it's empty. I double check in webmail: it's empty.
    So I go to the Finder and look in my IMAP folder: <user>/Library/Mail/<IMAP-account>/test.imapmbox and there is no folder "Messages", only Info.plist.
    Then I try to move a message to the "Sent' folder: for a minute the Activity moinor says: Copying messages: copying message" and then Mail prompts: +"The message "testing" could not be+
    +The connection to the server mail.hicetnunc.nl on port 143 timed out"+.
    So it looks like Mail has a problem with the default "Sent" folder: it cannot copy messages to that folder at all! Aha!
    But then I try to move a message to a "normal" IMAP folder: same thing! Mail cannot copy to any folder!
    In both instances Mail says: +"The message "..." could not be be moved to the mailbox "..."+
    +The connection to the server mail.hicetnunc.nl on port 143 timed out"+
    Last thing: I try to move a message to a folder in the same account again. But in the process I quit Mail. I open Mail again and Mail is performing pending operations: copying message. After a while Mail prompts: +"Operation could not be completed. (MFMessageErrorDomain error 1028.)"+ and crashes... I open Mail again and it tries to peform pending operations. Again: an error message and Mail crashes. This keeps going on so I delete the whole account and set it up again. Nothing's changed...
    I can receive and send, but sent messages are not copied to the "Sent" folder and I cannot move messages around within a IMAP account. But TADA!!!: I can move messages from account to account.

  • Messages are not synced on imac and macbook -- missing a month of messages

    I have used Messages on an iMac at home, and a Macbook Pro on travel, both of them using OS 10.8.4.  The Messages/Preferences/Acclounts window shows that both computers are using the same settings. During travel last month I added several Messages accounts, using the Macbook. These do not now show up on the iMac. The imac shows 4 of these accounts, and when I now put a message on one of these, with either mac, it shows up on both macs just fine. But I am missing a month of messages that were sent on the macbook that do not show up on the imac, and I have 5 accounts that were added to the macbook Messages that do not appear on the imac Messages. How can I sync everything?

    HI,
    This is a pic of my Window Menu in drop down and the Preferences opened at the Accounts pane.
    I have highlighted the most well known Account of my AIM Screen Name.
    As you can see the list here on the left has a Scroll Bar and I am not displaying all the 10 Accounts shown in the in the Window Menu.
    The Window Menu will show them as a combined list by default, due to the setting in the General Pane of the Preferences.
    The Messages Menu itself > Accounts will also show the number of Accounts that are Logged in
    By Default (without you ever having started up Messages) it will two accounts.
    These will be the iMessages account (Minus any Apple ID) and the Bonjour account that is normally Disabled by default (it is only any use when two or more Macs are on the same LAN and have the Bonjour Account Enabled).
    If I untick the "Enable this Account" Box for some of the accounts I can get down to 3 Buddy List type accounts listed in the Window Menu and the Main Messages Window.
    You may notice from the first pic that the Description field in the Preferences (Main AIM) is the name in the list in the Window Menu and at the bottom left in the Main Messages window.
    Sync
    In terms of iMessages this means "Display on all Devices".
    It does not mean mark as read on all devices or deal with as if dealt with on another device.
    iMessages and Chats that might be Saved.
    The application will Save Chats and iMessages if set to do so in the Messages Pane of the Preferences.
    It will do so when you close the app. If you leave a conversation (iMessages) or a Chat (Instant Messages from Buddies) on display in the Main Messages window over a number of days it is likely that Messages will create a Save of this each day in ~/Library/Messages/Archive/(by date)
    Also in this ~/Library/Messages folder is the Chat.db items
    This is the bit that hold a running record of the iMessages conversations you have had and tends to be the bit that brings up the "History" if you restart a conversation with a Contact you have already iMessage'd.
    Moving corresponding chat.db items from one computer to another may need the Ownership changed.
    Go to the ~/Library/Messages folder.
    Highlight the chat.db item and then do a Get Info (CMD and i keys together).
    This brings up the Info Panel and at the bottom are the Read and Write Privileges
    Highlighting th top "person" and then using the Cogwheel type icon should reveal your Shortname in greyed out text if you Own the item.
    As I own mine my shortname is greyed out
    Of course, using my shortname as an example you may be "ralph" on both computers but you  may need to make the Moved file "yours" on this computer.
    I only have one Mountain Lion compatible computer and have not tried this to see that it actually works in "moving" chats from one computer to another.

  • Sent Messages are not allway saved

    I use Mail with several imap account and for the last few weeks I recognized
    that the emails I did sent were not allways saved in the 'sent messages' folder of the corresponding imap account. They are sent but they just dissapear, also on the imap server itself.
    Deleting Envelope Index and restoring the sent folder did not solve this strange behavior.
    It seems that sometimes it depends on wether an attachment was added to the mail or not.
    But the sent messages _are saved_ when I first press the 'save as draft' button and right after that press the send button.
    Any ideas?

  • AOL and mail some sent messages are not saved

    I have been having a problem with sent messages using mac mail and my aol account. Occasionally the message will get hung up and will take a long time to send. The send progress bar fills up and the message is eventually sent, but it is not copies to my sent folder. This happens for about one out of every ten emails that I send.

    Hello p:
    Welcome to Apple discussions.
    That is, I am relatively sure, an AOL server problem (happens to me occasionally).
    You might try Open DNS (the free one) to see if it will address other possible problems.

  • Inbox subfolers are not syncing, even with Folder Redirection enabled...

    Good morning!
    I just had to rebuild a BES box using the Xpress Server software 5.0.1. After reactivating all the phones, I noticed that the subfolders were all empty. Here is what I did...
    1. I double checked the Web Desktop Manager to ensure that the redirection was turned on.
    2. Enabled folder redirection on the handheld and SELECTED ALL subfolders.
                 a. I read that the messages would have to be moved to another folder, then readded for the  sync to catch, so I did...
    3. Gave it 1/2 hour and it still didn't work...
    Any ideas folks?

    these messages do not show on the device at all? Go to messages > menu > view folder > pick a subfolder. Do they show there?

  • Calendars that are not syncing successfully with iphone

    I am making scheduling errors now because appointments made on my laptop are not being pushed onto my iphone. It has been working fine until suddenly...and I don't know if or what I would have changed to bring this about. Help me, please!!!

    touche99
    I had the same problem and fixed it like so:
    -Create a new calendar in Outlook File>New>Calendar. Name it whatever you choose and Select Calendar from "Select where to place the folder"
    -Export current calendar to file using comma separated values (windows). File>Import and Export…>Export to a file>Next>Comma Separated Values (Windows)>Next>Select folder to export from(calendar name)>Next>Save exported file as(click browse and choose file name)>click OK>Next>Finish
    -File>Import and Export…>Import from another program or file>Next> Comma Separated Values (Windows)>Next>File to Import>click browse and choose file name>Next>Select a destination folder (choose new calendar)>Next
    -In the info section of iTunes select sync selected calendar and choose new calendar.
    -Sync iPhone
    -If you uncheck your previous calendar in the sync box, it will no longer appear in your iPhone and the new calendar will become your primary. You can use your old calendar as a reference until it is no longer needed and then delete at the time of your choosing.
    -It will now sync back and forth.

  • Any idea why my sent messages are not stored on my Mac?

    When I send mail from my iPhone or iPad, they appear in my sent folder, but not when I send from my MacBook. This even happened when I changed MacBook!

    Try resetting your wireless router by unplugging the router from the power for about 30 seconds then plugging it back in.

  • My sent messages are not going in my sent folder... Why not?

    When I send a message it should appear in my Sent Folder... They don't... Where are they going? My sent folder doesn't work! How do I fix this?

    You do not say whether you are using a standard Pop account using it's own folders Or a Pop mail account using Global Inbox(Local Folders) OR whether this is an IMAP mail account?
    So the answer depends on your setup:
    'Tools' > 'Account Settings' > 'Copies & Folders' for the mail account.
    * Select: 'Place a copy in'
    If Pop mail account using own folders:
    * Select : 'Sent' folder on and pop mail account
    If Pop mail account using Global Inbox(Local Folders):
    * Select : 'Sent' folder on and Local Folders.
    If IMAP mail account:
    * Select : 'Other' and then choose the Sent folder on imap mail account.
    * Note: that sometimes the 'Sent' folder on server may be called something similar eg: 'Sent Items'
    Click on OK.

  • Playlists on iTunes are not syncing correctly with iPhone on iOS 7-only 48 of 134 songs on one playlist are appearing (all songs are checked and I've tried this both hardwire and wireless)...help!

    So, I could use help from people who know mre about this than I do. I did a sync last night between iTunes on my Mac (latest version of iTunes) and my iPhone 5 running iOS 7. For some reason, about 90 songs in one of my playlists have disappeared.
    The songs are all checked in the playlist in iTunes
    The songs were all on the iPhone playlist prior to the sync
    I've tried a sync again both by hardwire and wifi
    I added a song to the playlist on iTunes and the song appeared in the iPhone playlist, but none of the other 90+ songs came back
    I haven't checked my other playlists to see what is there and what isn't (I have lots of music, so this would take days to verify).
    I've thought about managing my music manually, but I would have to rebuild everything from scratch on the phone which would take days and I'd never get everything back to the right place.
    In as much as I'm otherwise liking iOS 7, the new iTunes app for iOS 7 has been a real pain. This is what's really put me over the edge on it!
    If you all have any suggestions that could help, I'd really appreciate it! The playlist I'm referencing most specifically is my most-used playlist and I'd love to have it right.
    Thanks!

    Hi oxman78,
    That definitely sounds frustrating! Let's give this a go to see if we can isolate the issue futher:
    First, connect your device and choose the "Music" tab. Next, uncheck the "Sync Music" checkbox, and apply the changes (so there is ultimately no music syncing to your iPhone).
    Once you have done that, recheck the "Sync Music" checkbox, and apply the changes once more. This will instruct iTunes to completely remove all music from your iPhone, and then copy the files once more. If you have a large amount of music, this initial sync may take a while.
