Sent messages not saving on Exchange server

Does anyone know how to get emails sent from an MS Exchange account in Mail 8.2 to save (either in Sent folder on local machine or preferably on the Exchange server)?
"Store sent messages on the server" is selected, but this doesn't work on any of my Exchange accounts. Mail is set to automatically maintain exchange account settings. At the moment I'm BCC'ing all sent messages to myself and then dragging them into the relevant Sent folder, which is syncing with server so I can see messages on other computers, but this isn't really satisfactory long term. The problem has only arisen since "upgrading" to Yosemite.

Something is wrong with the Mail app the last week and half or so.  Messages are disappearing, not getting synched, don't stay in the saved folders they are moved to, jump back at later dates (even days later) to the original inboxes, etc.  Very unstable and unreliable.  It was working better for a few months before this latest update, but is an absolutely messy nightmare right now. Changes made in Apple Mail are not getting reflected in other mail apps or on the external mail servers in a reliable, usefull manner.  Some do, some don't.   Use another mail app until Apple gets this fixed.

  • Sent messages not saved in sent mailbox

    Lately some iCloud sent messages are not saved in the sent mailbox.  this is an intermitant problem.  sometimes msgs go to the outbox even though mail is on line; when they are eventually sent sometimes they do not make it to the sent mailbox.  I call the recipient and the msg has actually been received.  The lost messages do not appear in iCloud.  Rebuild does not help.  any suggestions?

    Tks for your answer. I have a .Mac account and in already try in Preferences-Accounts- and I only see three tabs: " Account Information ", " Mailboxes Behaivor " and " Advanced ". I don´t see the " Special Mailboxes " tab that you mention and I have also read about it. In Mailboxes Behaivor I can choose the option " Store sent messages on the server " and the Delete sent messages option is in " Never". If I choose not to Store sent messages on the server, nothing seems to happen. I hope you can help me with this information and I want to thank you again

  • Message not saved in sent messages folder

    Hi everybody,
    When I send a mail by the Collaboration Launch Pad and check the option: "Save copy in Sent Messages Folder" I get this error:
    "Message has been sent, but could not be saved in the sent messages folder; check the mail server entry in your user mapping data."
    Please is anybody there who can help me to properly configurate that option or tell me how to remove it from the body?
    Thanks in advance,
    Antonio

    Hi Antonio,
    Saving the mesage means writing that e-mail in the senders "sent item" folder in the mailbox. Thus make sure that the users mail server name and user and password is correct for the system Exchange.
    Also check SAP Note 738965.
    Also there is this this specific port that should be open on the SMTP server for the mail to be saved  in the "sent items" folder. I dont remember what port is it. Will try to figure out and let you know.
    Also make sure that your Exchange transport has the sent items folder name.
    Akhilesh
    Using telnet check that the SMTP server can be reached on port 25. If not then there is no way you can save the messages in the sent items folder using the collaboration tools.

  • Mail on iMac not accessing MS Exchange server but both iPhone and iPad access the same account with no problems.

    I have been using an iPhone and iPad to access my work emails via our MS Exchange server for a number of years now with no problems at all.  I recently replaced my home PC with an iMac (first Mac I have owned) but cannot get it to communicate with the exchange server.  I've checked and re-checked the information on the iMac and my iPad - I even deleted the mail account on the iPad and input the details concurrently with setting up on the iMac - but the Mac will not access the exchange server.
    I receive the message "The Exchange server "---------------" rejected the password for user "------"  Enter you password again or cancel."  I am using the correct password.  iPad and iPhone are logging on using that password fine.  iMac just ends up repeating this message.
    Our IT support at work assure me that there is no reason from their end for it not to work, and reasonably point to it working using the iPhone etc.
    I'd be extremely grateful if anyone can provide a solution to this basic, but extremely frustrating, little problem.

    iPhone and iPad use a different way of accessing the server.
    I don't know the exact details, but we are using Zarafa instead of Exchange and have the same problem:
    iPhone and the likes can connect to Zarafas z-push interface, which is some identical interface to the native Exchange interface, while the desktop e-mail application tries to interface with the web front end (via http) of the server.
    These are completely different setups and it depends on the actual installation of the server to get this going.
    So, you will most likely need different access parameters for the desktop - and the web mail feature has to be enabled on the Exchange server.
    In my opinion using the web mail interface is just silly. On the other hand, the native protocol has less features comparedto the web front end, so you are somehow stuck with sins of the past.
    Good luck!

  • Sent messages not showing ipad

    When I reply to or initiate an email from my ipad they are not shown in the sent box. How can I access sent my messages?

    Unlike outlook on my pc, safari on the iPad does not have an outbox only inbox sent and drafts. If outlook fails to send a sent message it lets you know. What happens to the 'sent' message if the iPad fails to send it by safari? Not in drafts nor in sent and no advice that not sent. Any way of finding it? No sent messages are stored on my server.

  • Calendar will not sync with Exchange server or most Google Calendars

    Hi,
    I am writing about my wife's brand new Samsung Charge on Verizon. We managed to setup both her gmail account and her work exchange server account fine, except for the calendars:
    Her Google calendar shows up fine, but I am unable to even see any other Google calendars that she has access to (both her own secondary calendars as well as calendars that others have shared with her) in order to select them to be visible.
    Her exchange calendar says it is enabled (on the list of available calendars), but no events at all show up.
    This behavior is with the latest software updates on the Charge (2.2.1 firmware, I510.EE4 build) using its stock calendar software. I did notice that if I use Smooth Calendar, it does list all of her Google calendars under its listing of available calendars, but it still only shows data from her primary calendar. This is also true using the Touch Calendar app, which leads me to believe that there is some problem within the Google Calendar sync software that is not allowing her calendars to appear correctly.
    Thanks!

    Hello whereizben,
    I see you have posted same post in another thread.  I have already replied to that posting with a solution.  Please see the following link for my reply:

  • 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.

  • Mail & Exchange - Sent Messages not appearing in Sent mailbox

    Once setting up an Exchange account in Mail everything seems to be working fine except that when I send any emails they don't appear in the "Sent" folder. When I log in under webmail they do appear. Anyone else find a solution to this problem?
    Thanks for any help.

    I'm having my own share of problems with Mail 4.2 and Exchange Server 2007. See this post.
    In addition to the Junk mail problem, I'm experiencing overall sluggishness. Mail takes longer than it should to quit, and sometimes I get the spinning pizza Loading… icon on simple text messages. I wish I could go back to re-configuring my Mail account to be POP instead of the auto discovery Exchange method.
    As to the Sent mail problem, I am not experiencing that issue. I don't know if this will help, but go to your Exchange account configuration in Mail, click Mailbox Behaviors, and under Sent check "Store sent messages on the server" and for "Delete sent messages when:" choose Never.
    My Sent messages all show up in my Sent folder in Mail, but they take a second. From what I can gather, these messages are sent to the Exchange Server first, and then downloaded by Mail. An unnecessary step, I feel, but I guess that's the way Exchange Servers work.

  • Mail not saving sent messages, not moving Junk messages

    Hi everyone, I'm having a bit of trouble with OS Mail. I've set it up to use an IMAP account, and have set my preferences such that Mail should save all my sent messages in the Sent folder (I assume the Sent folder on my computer, not the one on my IMAP server). Regardless, neither my IMAP server's sent folder nor my computer's sent folder contain any messages that I've sent, and I have confirmed that these messages have in fact been received by the recipients (therefore successfully sent). I am unsure of how to resolve this issue, as there is no obvious setting change for me to persue. I just received this computer (new) a few days ago, so I wouldn't expect this problem to be due to disk maintenance/management, etc.
    Also, I have noticed that Junk messages remain highlighted and in my inbox. I changed my prefs to have these messages be placed in my Junk Mail folder. Mail asked me whether I wanted to apply that preference to older messages marked as junk that have yet to be put in the folder; I indicated yes. Nothing happened, and the Junk Mail folder remained empty (until I manually moved the messages to it). Any ideas?
    I have searched the forums for related issues and could only find problems that had an associated error message with it; my issue is different in that there are no error messages; Mail is simply ignoring my preferences. Thanks in advance,
    Vic

    In OS X Mail, this sent folder appears as a subdirectory
    (sub "mailbox"?) under my "Inbox" mailbox along with
    other folders that are mapped on my IMAP account.
    This means you haven't set up your account properly. You probably should set Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > IMAP Path Prefix to INBOX, or something like that.
    After putting the right string in the IMAP Path Prefix field, either the IMAP folders will appear somewhere else in Mail (i.e. not as subfolders of Inbox), or your problem will have already been fixed. Let me know what happens.
    I should probably mention (just realized) that in my
    account settings, my outgoing SMTP server is set to
    be my ISP's server (which is different from my IMAP
    provider).
    I wonder if, by selecting "save messages on server"
    I am saving these messages somewhere on my ISP?
    Mail should still save the sent messages where you've told it to. It's Mail, not the SMTP server, that stores the sent messages. The SMTP server has no bearing on this, but it was a good idea to consider that possibility, nevertheless.
    When I uncheck this option, perhaps my mail will
    be stored on my local computer instead?
    Yes, that's what would happen, but don't uncheck that option if you really want your sent messages to be stored on the IMAP server, or do it temporarily, so that Mail does at least save them somewhere until we fix the problem, but I believe I already know what the problem is.

  • Yahoo sent mail not saved to server when using Mail only.

    Why does my Yahoo sent mail not get saved to the server when I use Apple's Mail program? (I have it saved in settings to keep sent mail on server).  I can see it in my Sent mail folder on Apple Mail but not on the yahoo server.  It's an IMAP account and it works fine on my iPhone.
    I have tried changing the outgoing ports as well and erasing the account and reinstating it on the Mail program. No luck.

  • Sent items not saved in personal sent items when shared mailbox is open in outlook

    hi,
    user is using exchange 2010 and the shared mailboxes are in exchange 2003. when user send an email as send as to the shared mailbox the sent items is not saved in her personal sent items. she can look up the sent items on her shared mailboxes sent items.
    I tried recreating her profile when the shared mailboxes are not added in the outlook, personal sent items is okay  but when the shared mailboxes is added , sent items doesn't go to her personal sent items. Please help. Is it by design?

    Hi,
    Since Exchange 2003 server is out of support, I still suggest migrating to Exchange 2010 server.
    How about this behavior on OWA, if everything going well as expected, it should be an issue on the Outlook client side.
    Please try to run Outlook under safe mode to avoid some AVs and add-ins.
    Thanks

  • Sent Messages Not Showing Up?

    Emails that I am sending from my iCloud account on my iPhone are being saved to the server but a copy is not stored on any of my devices (iPhone/iPad/Macbook).  So if I go to the sent mailbox on the phone, the message does not appear there.
    I changed settings under Mailbox Behaviors to switch to "iPhone", but then it does not store a copy on the server - just locally on the phone.
    Am I missing some sort of setting that allows me to send a message from my iPhone and it both shows up in the "sent" mailbox on the phone and on the server?  My Yahoo mail used to do this so I'm not sure why me.com/iCloud mail could not also do this.  HELP!

    enni5, are you referring to text messages or iMessages? Also, there is a bug in OSX where if you send iMessages rom your iOS device and receive them and then later try to view them on your computer, they become extremely jumbled. (out of order). If you're referring to text messages, remember that these are NOT saved in iCloud because they are carier specific. iCloud only uses iMessage to communicate.

  • After Mail crash, Sent folder not syncing with Exchange

    I was able to successfully configure Mail on SN to work with Exchange 2007. After about two days of trouble free operation, my Mail client crashed. After that it has stopped syncing the Sent folder with Exchange. I have tried reboot of my MacBook Pro and restarts on the Exchange server but with no success. Mail that is sent from SN as well as from other clients (such as Outlook or Outlook Web Access) appears in the Sent folder on Exchange but none of these emails are now appearing in the Sent Mailbox in Mail on SN. However, the messages that were sent before the crash are synced and available in the Mail on SN. Appreciate any suggestions or help.

    I'm frankly always shocked at the lack of quality. I somehow insist on believing in Apple, which consistently doesn't appear to deserve it. Been using MobileMe to sync my dock between 3 Macs. An iMac at home, one at the office, and a MacBook Pro on the go.
    Now, my notepad refuses to stay in the dock, despite me following all the advice I could find on this specific issue from Apple and forums. MobileMe Sync items are also high up my list of items I very much like to have, but of course, they don't work well. I thought Snow Leopard was to be an extremely high quality release. That was the whole point of this release. Nothing but fixing all the broken things that exist.
    So much for quality. They had a whole 18 months not to add features, but just to fix all that is broken. And this is the result. Things that are highlighted as awesome features that fall short of functioning properly. Who tests this stuff, two guys in a basement?

  • Sent items not syncing with Exchange

    I've got a problem whereby my mailbox has now successfully synced with my Exchange server in Snow Leopard Mail. The problem I have though is that my Sent items box is completely empty, like it just hasn't synced with it (it doesn't even look like it's trying to sync). Is there a setting I'm missing or am I doing something stupid?

    Hi All
    Just to add my solution in here. I was gaving the issue where all of my mail had synchronised, and all of my ical and all of addressbook. However, my sent mail folder was not syncing, and worse still, no new sent mail was being saved off in sent mail.
    Initially I thought it was a mailbox size thing, so I archived off the majority of my mail on another machine, deleted the sent mails, and then let the other machine sync with Exchange.
    However still the same issue on a tiny mailbox. After seeing this thread (pointed here by Apple Tech support - thanks Clement) i deleted all sent mails on another machine, jumped back onto mac mail.app and all was well.
    I still have a weird issue with delinquent emails in sent mail that wont delete, but I can live with that.
    I too wish that Apple would make a more robust mail application - Apple ProMail as part of the iwork suite anyone??

  • Move New Mail, Sent Iteam, Calender ETC from Exchange Server to PST Automatically in OUTLOOK 365

    I have recently upgraded from office 2003 to new 365 office.  In outlook 2003 all the iteams of exchange server in Outlook was automatically moving to my default PST. But in new outlook it is not moving automatically to PST. 
    Now creating rule is one option for INBOX new mail but what about new calenter meeting and sent iteams ? 
    Why microsoft has removed this facilty ? what is best way to do that ? Echange server had limited capacity and it is slower comparared to using PST directly. 
    Please advice. 

    Hi,
    The option to delivery Exchange emails to pst file has been removed in Outlook 2013. This is because corporations allow for larger Exchange mailboxes, and we can also use online archive or AutoArchive to offload the Exchange mailbox to a pst-file.
    However, if you still want to do this for sent items, we can create the following rule to achieve the goal:
    1. Click Home tab > Rules > Manage Rules & Alerts.
    2. Click New Rule button.
    3. Select Apply rule on messages I send, and click Next.
    4. Tick the through the specified account check box.
    5. Click on specified to select your Exchange account.
    6. Tick the check box "move a copy to the specified folder". 
    7. click on specified to select a folder in a pst-file.
    Hope this helps.

    It's recommended to download and install
    Configuration Analyzer Tool (OffCAT), which is developed by Microsoft Support teams. Once the tool is installed, you can run it at any time to scan for hundreds of known issues in Office
