Sent messages do not appear in Sent mailbox

Using a pop account, when I send a message it disappears. It does not send and it does not appear in my Sent mailbox.
I know it does not send because no one receive the email.
I have tried rebuilding the Sent mailbox.
I have tried selecting the Sent mailbox and then using the mailbox menu to set sent mail to go there, but this option cannot be selected (it's faded out) in the mailbox menu.
This is driving me to distraction...

While trying to find a solution, I am discovering my mail problem is much deeper than just messages not appearing in the "Sent" mailbox. I have found some of them appearing in the "Trash" mailbox and some appearing there mulitple times, often with my account name in the "TO" field. I'm also finding some unread mail there that should be in the "Junk" mailbox. So it would appear there are many problems with ISO 7 and mail. I have tried deleting and restablishing the account and two complete iPhone restores. Neither helped. What is the biggest puzzle is that on my second iPhone, the one that upgraded without an error, mail is working perfectly well. Has anyone found a solution to any mail problems on ISO 7 devices? If so, please reply.

Several times my Sent message does not appear in Sent Mailbox

I have had many instances when sending messages (usually replies to messages in my Inbox) where they appear in the Mail Activity box and then following the "sent" sound, fail to appear in the Sent mailbox. When clicking on the Reply arrow I get the message "Mail was unable to find your response to the message “Re: Test”. You may have deleted the message." I have tried sending test messages and they seem to work OK. However over the last two days at least three replies to messages have disappeared in this way. The messages do not appear in my MobileMe sent box either. Using my non MobileMe address seems to work OK with the message appearing in the Sent Mailbox. Any ideas?

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.

Sent messages do not appear in Sent Mailbox IOS 7

I upgraded my iPad to IOS 7 using WiFi, but did not first check to see if iTunes was current. (I don't think this is relevant to this particular problem, but perhaps it is). I then upgraded one iPhone (4) to IOS 7 on my Mac (10.7.5) after updating iTunes. Both the iPad and this iPhone work fine. I then tried upgrading my second iPhone (4) on my Mac and got an error message that the upgrade failed. I was instructed to resotred the iPhone to factory settings, restored my settings from a backup and then re-sync all my personal music, photos and apps. Took about 2 hours. Everything is fine execpt when I send mail on any device (I'm not using iCloud for mail), or my Mac, the mail does not appear in the "Sent" mailbox just on the iPhone that failed the IOS 7 upgrade. It does appear in the Sent Mailbox only when the mail is sent from that iPhone. I've checked all my settings and believe they are correctly set to save all mail to the server (AOL) and the server preferences as well. I repeated the entire restore process and still no change. I know, it's not a big problem, but it can be when I'm away from home and need to read mail I've sent, or actually be sure it was sent. Any ideas or suggestioins to fix this? Thanks!

Sent messages do not appear in sent folder - IMAP server

In my mac mail program, I have a .mac account and a gmail account, both of which work fine on all accounts. I also use another email account which is on an IMAP server. If I send an email from the webmail site, the sent message appears in my sent folder both at the webmail site AND in the folder on my mac email client. If I send an email using the mac email client, the message arrives to the destination, but no sent copy appears either in the sent folder on the mac client or at the webmail site. Please help!!

Hi David,
Where in the Sidebar to the Mail window, does the
Sent folder appear, if one does, for the .mac
account?
Ernie
Ernie,
The sent folder (little airplane icon) for the .mac folder automatically appeared under my email accounts (in fact, both sent accounts - for my gmail and .mac - appeared as subfolders of the sent folder) when I set those accounts up. Those both work fine, though. It's the IMAP account that isn't working.

Why my sent emails do not appear in Sent Folder?

why my sent emails do not appear in Sent Folder?

Are you using the Mail Ap which is apart of the Mac OS?
Are you using an Email linked to the Mail AP, I.E. Gmail, Yahoo?
I have noticed this issue with my Yahoo Account. Certain sent items will only be viewable on the device I sent the Email on. When I log in to my email from my Web Browser all sent mail is there. This is as far I know... I think there is something with Icloud in my suspicion will resolve this.

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.

Entourage 2000 - sent emails are not appearing in "sent items" folder

I am using Entourage 200 with POP account. I have the preference for "save copies of sent messages in the Sent Items folder" clicked since I install it a year ago. But a couple of days ago, all my sent emails have vanished. Even new emails I compose and sent out are not appearing in the "sent items" folder. I did hit "option" when openning the program and everything verify ok. Any help would be greatly appreciate.

Since this is the Mail & Address Book - Tiger discussions/forum for Apple's Mail and Address Book applications, you probably won't get much help here with your question.
What is the size of your Entourage database file? Entourage uses a single large database to store all application data and I believe Entourage X has a 4 GB database size limit.
Does hit the option key when launching Entourage perform the database rebuild function? If not, do a search with Entourage help with "rebuild" for instructions.

ICloud Mail Sent with iPad Not Appearing in Sent Mail

Hi Everyone,
For for the past few days, the email messages that I've sent with my iPad using my iCloud address do not appear in the iCloud Sent mail folder my iMac. But if I send an iCloud mail using my iMac, it does appear in the iCloud Sent mail folder on both devices. This problem does not occur using other IMAP accounts on my iPad. What's going on?
The other thing that may be relevant is that there appear to be two Sent mail folders that appear in the iCloud account on my iPad. One is Sent with the paper airplane icon and the other is Sent Messages with a folder icon. On my iMac, there is only the Sent mail folder with the paper airplane icon. Curiously, on the iMac have see some sent messages from both of those sent mail folders from the iPad.
I'm now concerned that some important iPad messages may not have been sent, and I now must backtrack and resend them.
Regards,
Gregory

Most mail servers can be accessed in a web browser as well as in Mail. For iCloud, you go here:

UTL_MAIL sent messages do not appear in the outbox OUTLOOK

Dear Forrum
Sorry for me bad english, I am not speak very well the english. I am from Ecuador.
I configured UTL_Mail because i need to send email and everything works good. But when I send an email with an email account associated with the domain that I configured. The outlook does not appear anything in the outbox.
Example
I sent a message [email protected] account, the message is sent and reaches all recipients. In the inbox of the recipients [email protected] appears as the sender, but when I enter my account Outllok in the outbox nothing appears. My account is [email protected]
What happens?
I am working with apex 11g.

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?

Mail app - sent items do not appear in Sent mailbox?

When i send emails they do not automatically appear in the Sent mailbox - is this a user setting? Surely all sent items should autimatically appear in there?

If you have a free Yahoo account, access from a mail client is not supported, according to Yahoo. It may work sometimes, but not consistently. You need a paid account. A free account is accessible only through the webmail interface.
You might be able to get Mail working temporarily with a free account by logging in to the webmail interface and confirming your identity, if prompted to do so.

GMail sent messages do not appear on BB

I use a Google Apps account and a GMail account - both registered with my local BIS account server. I use Outlook 2010 on my desktop configured via IMAP.
On 1st Nov 2010, my BB 9700 stopped receiving copies of items sent either through Outlook or Google on the web. Prior to 1st Nov everything worked perfectly and I was able to see any item sent from my desktop as a "sent" item in my BB Messages folder.
Now, the only sent items I see in my BB are those sent from the device - they also appear on my desktop as sent items without a problem.
My Google settings have IMAP enabled and the Sent Mail Label is enabled to Show in IMAP.
Did something change with the Enhanced Gmail Plug-in since 1st Nov or can anyone advise a solution to this. I really need to see all of my sent items on my device if possible as before.
Thanks, Sean

Sent mail does not appear in sent mail folder

Hi. Odd problem. I have done a search for this but can't find an answer.
I have an IMAP account with PIPEX and mail will not display the sent messages.
Mail has 3 folders - Inbox, Sent, Trash.
IMAP account has 2 folders - INBOX and a sub folder sent-mail.
Inbox/INBOX syncs fine.
Nothing appears at all in Sent.
Sent messages sync ok, as (using finder) they appear in my library at myusername/library/mail/IMAP-(mylogin)/INBOX/sent-mail.imapmbox/Messages
For info, the inbox messages are stored at myusername/library/mail/IMAP-(mylogin)/INBOX.imapmbox/Messages.
For info again I have store sent messages on server selected in preferences (because I need to see them from another computer)
I have tried 'rebuild' several times on the inbox & the rebuild option is greyed out on the sent folder.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
Stringbag

Hi Stringbag.
This account requires INBOX to be put in Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > IMAP Path Prefix for Mail to handle it properly. Mailboxes on the server should not appear as subfolders of the account’s Inbox in Mail.
After having done that, Mail should be able to properly save sent messages on the server, but maybe in a mailbox different from where you want them to be stored. To fix that, select the desired folder in Mail, and do Mailbox > Use This Mailbox For > Sent.

Sent message doesn't appear in sent mail or any other mail folder. I only know I sent it because it comes back with the reply. What gives?

Today I sent a message on the Mail program that did not appear in the Sent messages or any other Mail folder. I know I sent it only because it was included in a reply that came back. Didn't happen with any other messages I sent today (or any others that I can recall). What gives? I used to have complete faith in my Sent folder. Thanks and apologies in advance if similar queries have been answered recently or multiple times. I'm having a hard time getting used to this new support format.

Will sent messages now be saved on my computer,
Hopefully.
will they be accessible on my other devices that are linked wirelessly through Mobileme?
No!
If so, that's what I wanted anyway. But I never thought about this box in Mailbox behavior, as I tend to go with default settings, and I'm no computer expert as you can tell.
Also, now that I've changed the setting, will previous Sent messages continue to be stored on the server?
It will only apply to new messages. Try it out and see if you can see your Sent messages. If you want them to be accessible on other devices, you will have to change the setting back. Just changing the setting a couple of times may get the online account working properly, so don't be afraid to play around with it.
If this is a MobileMe account, I would expect it to work properly. Try it in local mode. Then switch it back to server mode. Rebuild your send mailbox. Maybe after all of that it will be working better.

"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.
