Sent messages help!?

I have two copies of sent messages on Nokia PC Suite. I want to make those two backups (sent messages only) merge together. However I found that to be impossible. I also tried to use Nokia Communication Center, by copying the sent messages to draft then exporting it. Then I restored the other backup, and did the same thing, later one I added them two sent messages together in drafts, however i cant copy/import from drafts to sent messages folder.
How can i add them two sent messages backups together?
Thanks,
Kawa

You can't merge the backups, but what you could do is export them to a CSV file using Communication Centre in PC Suite, copy/paste them into a single document, then import them back into the phone. then you could make a complete backup of all of the messages if that's what you aim to do.
If the messages in your phone are not the same ones included in the backup, then make a backup of them to protect.
Now remove those messages and remove the lmessages from one of the old backup files to the phone.
Go to Communication Centre and select the folder you want, then go Edit>Select All, then File>Expor. Choose a filename and make sure that CSV is selected as the file format.
No delete those messages from the phone, and restoremessages from the other oldbackup to the phone and repeat the same process. You can then open both files in a CSV-compatibleprogram such as Excel, and copy/paste into a single document which you save; making sure to preserve the CSV format. You might want to sort the file into order by the date columne so you can check if there are any messages that existed in both backups - delete any duplicated lines and save again (if using Excel, sort by selecting Sort from the Data menu).
Now delete messages from the phone, go to Communication Centre again and select File>Import, search for the new file and select it.
This is fiddly to do, but it's a handy way to merge two lots of message data.

Did you check your user name and password in Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...tap your email account, tap SMTP, then tap the primary server name. Make sure the settings there are correct.

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.

Sent messages disappeared in Apple Mail

Hello everybody,
I use Apple Mail (v. 3.6) with Mac OS X (Version 10.5.8) for my Google Domains email addresses.
Yesterday, all the sent messages suddenly disappeared from my Inbox in Apple Mail on the Mac (only for one account, although I run 6 accounts on Apple Mail). I therefore signed in with my username on Google Domains and discovered that the messages were still there in the "Sent" folder.
I tried to Rebuild my mailbox in Apple Mail but it didn't work.
After that, I removed and reinstalled the account in question in Apple Mail, but it got even worse and now every time I try to open Mail, it completely crashes. I get the coloured circle and nothing happens (except that the email account that I reinstalled blinks in alternatively on the Mac files side and GoogleMail side...). Eventually I have to force quite
Does anybody have an idea of what the problem could be and how I could solve it?

Salut Clément, et un accueil chaleureux aux forums!
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 these folder & file to the Desktop.

After upgrading to iOS 5 I have lost all my sent messages'all my deleted messages have returned ,2 of which I also can't delete!

After upgrading to ios5 all my sent messages disappeared,my deleted messages returned,a couple of which I also cannot delete!Anyone any ideas?I am thinking I should have stayed with ios4,as ios5 seems to be pitched at iPad 2 users.

Thanks for the clarification. Yes, I do access my email from 2 different sources.
FYI, I use the POP mailserver as I need most of the information to be loaded onto my PC while on a plane / not connected to the interenet.
The primary use of mail on my iPhone is to be available as much as possible - even when I'm away from my office.
Thanks again for your help. I'll start deleting them in segments of 100.......

How Can I Retain Sent Messages When Re-Doing Email?

i would like to delete an email account and re-add it to fix something but i don't want to lose my sent messages. i know incoming message will be retained as they stay on the server. i called bb support and a level one person told me that my sent messages are synced with my mail server and will still be on the server. uh this is so not true. maybe it is for IMAP or Outlook but not with POP3.
i would like the retain my sent messages on my phone and not lose them to re-add an email account. can anyone help? thanks.

Hello,
I've been thinking about this, and I don't think there is a simple way at all. With other than POP, sent items do indeed get populated to the server. But POP has much less capability than others, and therefore the server just can't accept the placement of items into it's Sent Items folder within the mailbox. It's a POP limitation.
About the only thing I can think of would be for you to take a backup of your device. Then find a PC-based 3rd party backup file extraction utility and extract those specific items. Then, after you remove and re-add the account, you'd have to find a way to re-import the extracted items back to your BB. I don't know anyone who has tried such a thing, so I really am unsure of any details within this process...so you might have to do some further digging, and there may be no success path at all to be had.
Then again...it's also possible that removing the email account from the device won't actually wipe out the items. They may be retained on the device, but simply not be accessible while the email account is dis-associated. Re-associating the account might re-attach the items and make them visible. This is a theory, mind you...not anything that I've tested.
In any event, with POP there are severe limitations to what can be done. If you really have to preserve those sent items, you should first forward them to yourself so that they become part of your inbox and therefore are on the server (albeit as an inbox item rather than a sent item). Just in case.
Good luck!

Sent messages aren't saved in the Sent Items folder in Outlook 2013

When we send a message in Outlook 2013, a copy of the message should be saved in the Sent Items folder by default. If Outlook doesn’t save a copy of the sent message, it may be caused by any one of the following
reasons:
The “Save copies of messages in the Sent Items folder”
option in Outlook is disabled.
The save location for sent messages was changed to another folder.
There is a custom view set on Sent Items folder, or the view on
Sent Items is corrupt.
Outlook Data File may be damaged.
To resolve the issue, use the appropriate method for your situation.
Enable the Save copies of messages in the Sent Items folder
option
To configure Outlook 2013 to save copies of your sent messages in the Sent Items folder, please follow these steps:
1. Click File tab > Options.
2. Click Mail on the left pane.
3. Scroll to the Save Messages section, select the check box before “Save copies of messages in the Sent Items folder”.
4. Click OK.
If it is the replying message that is not saving to the Sent Items folder, we need to disable the “When replying to a message that is not in the Inbox, save the reply in the same folder” option in the location mentioned above.
If you’re using an IMAP account, please also make sure you didn’t select the “Do not save copies of sent items” in Account Settings. To check this, Please refer to the following steps:
1. In Outlook, click File tab > Info.
2. Click Account Settings > Account Settings, and then double-click your IMAP account to open the
Change Account wizard.
3. Click More Settings button.
4. Under Sent Items heading, clear the check box before “Do not save copies of sent items”.
5. Click OK and click Next to complete the configuration.
Make sure there is no rule or anything else to redirect sent messages to other folders
To check if it is caused by Outlook rules, please follow these steps:
1. In Outlook 2013, click Home tab.
2. Click Rules > Manage Rules & Alerts.
3. In the rules list, check if there is any rule that applied to the sent messages may cause this issue.
In addition, some rules may be corrupt or hidden and we cannot see them from the rules list. We need to use the MFCMAPI tool to find and delete the corrupt/hidden rules. To do this, we can use the following steps:
1. Download MFCMAPI tool from: http://mfcmapi.codeplex.com/
2. Start MFCMAPI tool.
3. Click Session menu >
Logon, select the Outlook profile you are using and click OK.
4. Double-click the mailbox that contains the inbox rules that you want to delete.
5. A new window will open. In the new window, expand
Root Container or Root – Mailbox, and then expand
Top of Information Store or IPM_SUBTREE.
6. Right click on Inbox and select
Open associated contents table.
7. In the Inbox window, locate and then right-click the items that have the
IPM.Rule.Message message class, and then click Delete Message.
To identify a specific rule, you’ll have to select the rule in the top pane in MFCMAPI and then scroll down in the lower pane and look at the
Property name(s) column. Find the ptagRuleMsgName property name and check the value against the rule name you were trying to delete in Outlook.
8. In the Delete Item dialog, select
DELETE_HARD_DELETE from the Deletion Style drop-down menu.
9. Click OK.
Reset the view settings on Sent Items folder
If you accidently changed the view settings on Sent Items folder, this may cause some sent messages not visible in the folder. To check if you’ve set any view settings on Sent Items folder, please follow:
1. In Outlook, select Sent Items folder.
2. Click View tab from the Ribbon.
3. Click View Settings button. If you notice the
Reset Current View button is clickable, it means the view settings for Sent Items have been changed before.
4. Click the Reset Current View button and then check the Sent Items folder again.
Scan and repair the Outlook Data File
To repair the .pst file, please follow:
1. Find and start the Inbox Repair Tool in the following path:
For Outlook 2013 on a 32-bit version of Windows:
<disk drive>\Program Files\Microsoft Office 15\root\office15
For Outlook 2013 on a 64-bit version of Windows:
<disk drive>\Program Files(x86)\Microsoft Office 15\root\office15
2. In the Inbox Repair tool, click Browse to locate the PST file by using the Windows file system.
3. Click Start.
4. After the analysis scan has completed, it will present you with a scanning report and options for the next step. Click Repair button.
To repair the .ost file, since this type of data file is a copy of information saved on your mail server, we can just delete the OST file and restart Outlook to re-create a new one.
For more information about repair Outlook data files, please refer to this article:
Repair Outlook Data Files (.pst and .ost).

Same problem here, connecting to a Groupwise (not latest) server. Whenever Mail.app 3 tries to upload/save a new messsage to the server, it would not save and completely lose the message!
I found slightly more information by turning off the "Save to server" option for Sent and Drafts, created a new message that I saved as draft, and then tried to manually move items to the Drafts or Sent folder on the IMAP server.
The error I received was: The message <message> could not be moved to the mailbox <mailbox>-<account>. The IMAP command "APPEND" (to <mailbox>) failed with server error: APPEND NotJunk.
To my inexperienced eyes, it looks like the latest version of Mail changed it's default IMAP handling commands that may be incompatible with older IMAP servers. Anyone else have more insight or know how I can get back Mail.app 2.x from Tiger?

Sent Messages are constantly synchronising with server. Mail so slow!!

Whenever I open Mail, the Mail Activity window displays thousands of messages incoming which takes forever and slows down my computer. Also the Activity window shows it's constantly Communicating with Server (Sent Messages) Fetching. It never seems to complete this action and so slows everything down. If I let it run and run overnight I still see this message in the morning.
I have a MobileMe account but it used to be a .Mac account. Is the computer getting confused between the two I wonder?
Please help, I've searched the forums for similar issues but nothing has been resolved. I'm going mad!!

Sent messages are gone (you can call me an idiot)

I installed extra RAM in my iBook G4 about 2 weeks ago. Since then everything has sort of been acting up, especially Mail, Safari, and Photoshop, as they quit frequently.
But my obvious main concern here is Mail. I looked up other user forums on the Internet and found that if you delete your .plist mail file that it would help with this problem. I did it for Safari first and it seemed to help, so I then did it for Mail. I deleted the .plist, restarted, and was in shock when I opened my Mail to see everything gone.
Now, I realize this is a lame mistake. However, I figured out how to restore my messages, preferences, etc. I have been working fine until tonight when I tried to access previous sent messages. Instead of showing the message, there is an error message that reads:
"The message from Nancy Randle <[email protected]> concerning “Re: a favor” has not been downloaded from the server. You need to take this account online in order to download it."
The only thing I can think of is that it has reverted to the new account I created to archive saved messages. Is there a way for me to revert back? Is there a way to find these messages? I have tried to find them in my Library, but with no luck.
My biggest concern is with my sent messages, but if anyone has any advice on the RAM install, that would be (OH!) so helpful.
Anything would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Nancy

Hi Nancyjo
did you backup the home/library/mail folder before you trashed the .plist ?
If you did - the old messages can be recovered.
If not - & you've searched the mail folder in vain for your sent messages - then short of some data recovery software - they're gone.
But the new account you created - is it exactly the same ( mail server & user name ) as your old one? if not, your messages may still be available.
Look in home/library/mail/mailboxes for a folder that matches the old account details ( if a pop server it will be 'POP-your username@your mailserver')
If the folder is there - in addition to the folder for the new account you made - then you're probably in luck.
Make a copy of the whole mail folder first, & the mail.plist file.
In mail - Create a new account with exactly the same details as the one that vanished.
select the inbox or sent folder for the account you just made
choose mail-mailbox-rebuild
If that doesn't do it, but you find the missing messages within the mail folder - they can still be recovered. Let us know how you get on.
if things go screwy while you do this - quit mail & in finder replace the mail folder & plist file with the backup copies you made before you started. start mail again & you should be back where you were.
Regarding the RAM - barring coincidences, it sounds like a ram problem. Double check that all the ram is physically located properly & try again. If you still have problems - remove the new ram. If the problems go away, the new ram is either faulty or incompatible.

Sent messages are being marked as "unread"

Ever since installing OS X 10.8.3, both my iMac and MBP have been leaving sent messages marked as "unread". Not all outgoing messages are being left in this unread state, but most are. Any ideas on why this might be happening and how to fix it? Is anybody else having the problem? A search of the forums shows some old material that might be related, but I don't see anything that has any answers.
TIA for you help.

This stopped happening as mysteriously as it started for me. The only change made on my end is that I added some seemingly unrelated filter Rules - around the same time (i can't be entirely certain if it stopped before or after the Rule changes) the proble with sent messages being marked as unread stopped. I doubt that the Rules actually had a direct effect, though perhaps it altered the structure of memory enough to stop the bug from occurring (something which I've seen many times in my 40 years of programming).

Sent messages are no longer saved

Hi guys!
Mail does no longer save my sent messages although the setting are set that way! Any suggestions? It's pretty annoying because you never know if messages are sent. I also doesn't make that "sending sound" anymore.
Thanks for your help - will try to help you too if i know answers...

If store sent messages on the server is not selected under the Mailbox Behaviors tab for the account preferences, quit Mail first and using the Finder go to Home > Library > Mail > Mailboxes > Sent Messages (name of your IMAP account in parenthesis).mbox.
Confirm there is only one Sent Messages.mbox folder for this account in the Mailboxes folder.
If so, move this mailbox folder to the Desktop.
Launch Mail and a new Sent Messages.mbox folder for the account will be created automatically by Mail within the Mailboxes folder when sending the next message with the account. Send a test message to yourself to confirm if the sent message is available within the account's Sent mailbox under Sent in the mailboxes drawer.
If so, you can use the Import Mailboxes feature to import the old Sent Messages.mbox for this account moved to the Desktop.

Sent messages from secondary account are not saved in Outlook 2011 for Mac

We are using a shared email account added in Outlook 2011 for Mac. It's not the default account but we send from it often.
Whenever sending from this secondary mailbox, the message is not saved in sent items folder under the secondary mailbox or the default mailbox. There seems to be no record of the sent item anywhere.
I verified the message is sent and received.
All microsoft updates have been applied and we are using Exchange 2010.

Hello,
Please first log into OWA and check if the email are saved in the Sent Items folder.
We can tick the option "Save copies of messages in Sent Items folder" in Outlook 2010 and Outlook 2013 to save a copy of sent message, please check if you get such option in Outlook for Mac.
In addition, in Outlook for Windows, we can change a registry key to force Outlook to save sent emails in the default or secondary mailbox, but I'm not sure if Outlook 2011 has such trick. See:
