Sent messages come back as new mail in inbox...

Whenever I send an email from my iPhone's Gmail account to someone else, it always comes back to me as a new message. It only does this with my iPhone and not my computer. Why is that? Shouldn't it be sent to the "Sent" folder? Or is this normal? Please help me, as this is getting annoying.
-M.R.P.

It is normal. Perform a search on the iPhone forums and you will get your answer. That is how gmail works it is not the fault of the iPhone. From the main screen tap settings - email - your gmail account - advanced - scroll all the way down and tap use recent mode. That will stop the iPhone from displaying new messages that you send yourself.

Erased gmail messages come back in mail

I erase messages from my gmail mailbox (Mail 4.5), empty the bin, and everytime I close Mail and reopen it the erased messages come back! I checked in the account preferences and unchecked the "keep the deleted messages on the server" box. Does anyone have any idea?
Thank you

I'd like the Gmail mail to only appear in the Gmail folder I have in Mail, as opposed to both Gmail folder and my regular ISP mail box.
I don't use IMAP, so I can't speak to your experience, but you may want to read this recent blog post by the Gmail team for their new, advanced IMAP controls: http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2008/10/new-in-labs-advanced-imap-controls.html

If there is no native ability within Mail to do this, does anyone know of any plugins that would allow me to do this? Ant tips would be welcomed.
(Regarding why mail needs to be checked every minute: it's connected with business here in Japan where email is the standard way to send instant messages from / to mobile phones, unlike elsewhere where SMS is the norm.)

Since a few days we have a lot of crashes with [http://www.trusteer.com/product/trusteer-rapport Trusteer Rapport]. If you have this program, try to disable it and see if that stops the crashing. 
You can stop Rapport using Start Menu > Programs > Trusteer Rapport > Stop Rapport 
You can ask their helpdesk when an updated version of their product will be made available or, if you don't need this software, uninstall it. 
http://www.trusteer.com/support/en/report-problem 
If you do not have Rapport, then we need to have a crash report ID. When you send Mozilla a crash report it just puts it in a giant database. We have no way of looking it up without the Report ID. I have no idea what is wrong without looking up the crash report. Please get the Report ID of your latest crash report.

Why is it they claim to sell you something they do NOT intend on allowing you access to for the life of your account?
It is not Apple that decides this. Since Apple is just the retailer, they do not own the copyrights to the content they sell on the iTunes store, if the copyright owner decides to remove something from the store that you have purchased Apple must abide by the terms of their licenseing agreements and remove it. Regretablly this also removes the items from your purchase history. This is why it is up to you to download and backup all of your purchases if you wish to maintain your investment.
In the Apple KB article Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore and iTunes Store, and in many other places, it is clearly stated:
It is recommended that you always back up your iTunes library in the event that a purchased item is no longer available on the iTunes Store. For more information about backing up your library, see this article.

TS3276 Does anyone have problems with sent messages not showing in their Mail? I have two sent folders when really I only want one. Any tips?

Does anyone have problems with sent messages not showing in their Mail? I have two sent folders when really I only want one. Any tips?

Not sure if this is a fix, but I tried sending myself a test email from only the Bcc field, and lo and behold it now shows the Bcc field in all sent item previews;
...maybe leaving the 'To' field blank on purpose forced Mail to show it.
Rebooted the Mail program, still there - rebooted the machine, still there. Hope this is still relevant and it works for you too - J.

I have an Ipod4. How do I change "read" mail back to "new" mail on the phone so it will stay "new" on my computer?

I am just switching over from a Blackberry and can't figure out how to change email that I read back to "new mail" so it stays new in my computer.

While viewing your Inbox hit Edit in the top right corner > select your mail that you want to be unread > select Mark in the bottom right > Select "Mark as Unread".
Hope this helps.

What do I do to resolve an ongoing problem with the MAIL "new messages sound".? If I reboot the iMAC and keep the mail app open after a number of messages come in the NEW MESSAGE Sound quits. I have to reboot the machine to get it back.

New Messages sound quits after several messages have arrived. I've tried several passes at resolving but nothing I have done seems to work. Sometimes I have to reboot the imac several times to get the New Messages Sounds back. Everything else works. The only thing I haven't done is reinstall the OS and that seems foolhardy.

Hi Memalyn
Essentially, the bare issue is that you have a 500GB hard drive with only 10GB free. That is not sufficient to run the system properly. The two options you have are to move/remove files to another location, or to install a larger hard drive (eg 2TB). Drive space has nothing to do with SMC firmware, and usually large media files are to blame.
My first recommendation is this: download and run the free OmniDiskSweeper. This will identify the exact size of all your folders - you can drill down into the subfolders and figure out where your largest culprits are. For example, you might find that your Pictures folder contains both an iPhoto Library and copies that you've brought in from a camera but are outside the iPhoto Library structure. Or perhaps you have a lot of purchased video content in iTunes.
If you find files that you KNOW you do not need, you can delete them. Don't delete them just because you have a backup, since if the backup fails, you will lose all your copies.
Don't worry about "cleaners" for now - they don't save much space and can actually cause problems. Deal with the large file situation first and see how you get on.
Let us know what you find out, and if you manage to get your space back.

"Sent Messages" folder not receiving new sent mails after a server change

My provider just moved my account to another server. The IMAP accounts needed to be re-established on my wife's PC in her program. So we know the files are all there on the new server.
Funny thing is that it's not working on Mail on my iBook. And when these changes took place, my sidebar contents in Mail changed on me. I have sent some mail to various places since this happened, but none of these new mails have copies which are saved in my "Sent Items" or "Sent Messages" folders. So I have no record now of anything new since the change happened. I DO have copies of mail in there that are pre-change.
I checked my preferences for mailbox behaviors, and the "Store Sent Items on the Server" is checked, so I'm not sure what's up.
For the record I'm running OS X 10.4.7 and Mail 2.1.
I have deleted and re-established my two email accounts in Mail in order to make them re-establish new links with the server, so I'm seeing my folders, but no new mail sent is showing up in my Sent Messages folder.
I would appreciate if anyone knows if there could be an issue with Mail, my new host's servers, or what. It looks like a Mail issue to me, since my wife's PC is reading everything fine (and she is running Thunderbird as her client).
Thanks!

You're welcome.
I don't think it's your fault. Different IMAP servers use different naming conventions, and the Mailbox > Use This Mailbox For command is meant to let you tell Mail which folder should be used for what purpose, but you shouldn't have to use it just to prevent your mail from being lost. At the very least, Mail should be able to use its own default Sent Messages folder without you having to do anything. I don't know why Mail fails to do this properly so often.
Worse yet, not only does Mail sometimes fail to use the Sent Messages folder that's already there, but it doesn't even warn you that it's failing to save your sent messages as you've told it to.

Most, if not all ISPs and email account providers have similar limits to the following for personal/non-business email accounts as part of an overall effort to eliminate or reduce bulk spam emanating from the ISP's or email account provider's domain.
Any ISP or email account provider that doesn't impose similar limits is helping to contribute to the amount of spam that gets circulated.
.Mac has several safeguards in place to ensure that only .Mac members send messages with the Mac.com outgoing mail server.
Among them are reasonable limitations on:
The number of messages that can be sent each day (200 messages)
The number of recipients that can be sent to each day (400 recipients)
The number of recipients a message can be addressed to at one time (100 recipients)
There is also a 10 MB maximum size for messages sent or received using the .Mac mail system.

Apple Mail - Delete Messages Come Back

User is saying they delete messages and then they re-appear as new in their inbox.

Hello, is it OP or IMAP?
In Mail>Preferences>Accounts>Mailbox behavior tab, what are the settings there?
it seems that it's not deleting from the Server, just locally.
Might be some messed up files.
Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move this folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.
If that doesn't do it and you can afford to redo all your Rules, try these & reboot...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist.backup

Deleted Messages keep reappearing as new Mail

Everytime I erase messages and close down when I open they all come back for the whole year as new mail and I have to wait till they are all loaded before I can get my new mail

For the whole year? What do you mean?
You may be able to get rid of those messages in Mail doing Edit > Cut (⌘X) (for best results do it with one message or just a few at a time), but you should remove them from the server first if they’re still there.
What type of mail account is this (POP, IMAP, .Mac)? Does it allow web access?
More info, please.
