Sent messages only appear in the sent folder after restarting Thunderbird

Hi, my problem is that sent messages do not appear in the sent folder unless I restart Thunderbird. I have the sent 'copies' box de-checked as if not although it syncs I end up with two copies (of sent messages).
I am using Thunderbird 31.2.0 on OSX Yosemite connecting via IMAP to ZOHO mail with STARTTLS on 587 for SMTP.
Hope you can advise, I've tried SSL/TLS on 465 also and it is the same. It's a bit of an inconvenience not being able to view the sent messages.
Many thanks

Interesting to know (the RFC violation) but as you say, perhaps not relevant as such, although if ZOHO wasn't auto-placing a copy in sent then I could check the 'place a copy in' option and it would work ok.
Anyhow, I tried your recommendations and yes, I use both an Android and an iPad to also check my mail but with both disconnected from Wi-Fi the problem still persists. There are a few warnings being reported in the TB error console on the Mac but they just relate to 'mso-table-lspace' for my INBOX.
And for info in Thunderbird on my Ubuntu laptop the problem is exactly the same -
'Place a copy' checked - Messages instantly appear in the sent folder but there are two copies.
'Place a copy' de-checked/Cached connections = 5 - Messages only appear in the sent folder after restarting Thunderbird
'Place a copy' de-checked/Cached connections = 1 - Messages appear in the sent folder on clicking out of the folder and back in.
On Ubuntu there is nothing at all in the error console.
I can work with how things are at this stage as I don't live in the sent folder (rather the inbox), and when you click into it (with the connections cache at 1) the messages do appear, so I suppose that's actually ok.

  • Why does email appear in the draft folder after email is sent

    could someone tell me why emails I am sending appear in the draft folder even after the email has been sent and is in the sent folder?

    Do you get draft emails every time your write an email, or do you just have a pesky email in drafts? There's a big difference.
    If it happens every time, it could be that your email isn't being sent to your recipient. If it happened only once, it's just an incomplete email you haven't sent or deleted yet.
    Which is your situation?

  • Have an iphone 3GS, 2 email accounts.  My work email account used to work.  Now if I send any emails from this account it only appears in my sent box.  Recipients internal and external do not receive.  IT person cannot figure why occurring.  Any insight?

    Have a iphone 3GS; 2 email accounts.  one is for work.  It used to work fine until about Feb 2011.  Now when i send emails from my work account it only appears in the sent file.  Recipients do not get email.
    IT person looked at it & cannot find why this is happening.
    Any insight why this is occurring??

    This has nothing to do with your iPhone.
    If a message is in the account's Sent mailbox, this means the message was successfully sent. If a message cannot be sent for whatever reason, it will remain in the Outbox.
    What happens to a message after it was successfully sent has nothing to do with the email client or computer/device used to send the message.

  • Emails sent through Mail 7.0 on Mac won't appear in the Sent folder in the Yahoo web browser or the Mail app for iPad.

    It seems that emails I send via Mail on my mac are stored only in Mail's Sent folder. These emails don't appear in the sent folder of Yahoo web browser, iPad Mail app, or the Y! Mail android app..
    I've tested to see whether my emails are actually sending properly, and they are. I just want to know why the Sent messages on my mac aren't appearing anywhere else. I've read similar issues to this but haven't yet found a reason or solution.
    Thanks in advance

    [edit] I dragged the email I sent through the MBP Mail app (under MAILBOXES > Sent > Yahoo!) to the highlighted Sent folder (YAHOO! > Sent), and now it shows up on all Yahoo Sent folders (iPad app, web browser, phone app). Not entirely solved the issue but will use web browser to sent future emails to keep everything in sync.

    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?

  • Sent e-mail messages do not appear in the sent box

    sent e-mail messages do not appear in the sent box

    Glad it's working for you but it's still not for me.  I was sending emails fine today and they went to sent box then all of a sudden they aren't there.  Does anyone know what is the problem and a simple solution?

  • HT1529 how can I open the outbox for mail? That is, mail that i have finished and pressed 'send' but has not appeared in the 'sent' folder

    how can I open the outbox for mail? That is, mail that i have finished and pressed 'send' but has not appeared in the 'sent' folder

    The reason it will not be in the sent folder is, it failed to send.
    If it failed to send, then you will see the Outbox icon. 'Pending' would be a more descriptive name.
    When it eventually sends, the Outbox will not show in the Mail app interface.
    Until it is sent it will stay stuck in the Outbox.
    If it refuses to send, you can manually delete it in Finder, at the location ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/Outbox.mbox
    Close Mail first, before you search for that email using the Finder.

  • Sent items not appearing in online account folder

    Hi everyone -- any help on the following problem will be greatly appreciated.
    I got my mail accounts set-up on Mail 5.2 and it's working properly in that I can send and receive mail from three different IMAP accounts.
    The only problem is that sent mail items are not showing up when I login online to access my mail. I would like everything on my desktop mail account to be exactly the same as what I see online as far as read messages, unread messages and of course, the sent items that I have sent should be logged on the original mail account as well as on my computer.
    I have already enabled "store sent messages on the server."
    Can anyone help?

    Now that the messages are in Mail's sent folder that's now synced to the IMAP Sent Messages, the messages should sync to the website and other devices. So understand that the Sent Mailbox for that account is actually a server folder now as oppose to a local folder on the computer. If you select the gearwheel at the bottom of the sidebar and select get account info, you will notice that you're actually looking at the server showing the sizes and limits for those mailboxes.
    Think of it this way. The account at the bottom of the sidebar is your IMAP account. They are server mailboxes. Whatever mailboxes are shown at the website for that account are what is duplicated here.  Mail's mailboxes are local to the computer.
    What you are doing is syncing the IMAP mailboxes to Mail's mailboxes so that the actions done in Mail are duplicated to IMAP. Mail doesn't understand the names, so that's why you have to tell it what mailbox to use for a particular IMAP mailbox.
    Also, when you set up an IMAP account, the INBOX is done automatically and can't be changed. You have control on the other IMAP mailboxes. You don't have to sync any. That's your choice. But the actions won't be duplicated elsewhere if you don't.
    Example: If you don't sync the imap draft mailbox to Mail's draft mailbox. You create a draft message in Mail, it will only be seen in Mail's local draft mailbox. It won't appear at the website or any other devices.

  • 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.

  • Sent Messages not appearing in Mail

    For the past several days many of my older Sent messages from my Gmail account have not been appearing in the Sent folder in Mail.  The most recent messages from sent from Mail appear, but messages sent from other devices that used to appear in the Sent folder within Mail are not showing up.  I can view my Sent messges within the Gmail IMAP folders and in my Sent folders in my iPad and iPhone Mail apps.  What can I do?

    Select the mailbox in the mailbox list, then select
    Mailbox ▹ Rebuild
    from the menu bar.

  • Sent messages not appearing/sent box

    I too am finding at times and it seems to be when the message doesn't go out immediately, that it think it goes but doesn't appear in the SENT box although some do receive the message.
    I really don't want to BCC myself in everything I send.
    Mac mail has given me more problems since July/12 than Outlook did in 10 years.

    Hi Bronco_6
    What do you mean by .Mac Mail? If you mean using a web browser to access your mail, then by default it does not save items in your Sent Messages folder. This is a Mailbox Behaviour preference that you can set by clicking on the Preferences text at the top right of the web page.
    If you are talking about using a .Mac mail account in the Mail application on OS X then that's of course a different issue. It should work by default.
    You may mean a combination of both. It took me a while to spot that messages sent via the Web page didn't end up in the Sent folder within Mail.app. Instead they appear in Sent Messages under the .Mac folder.
    Hope That Helps.

  • How do I save "Sent" messages when sending from the ipad

    How do I save "Sent" messages when sending from the ipad2?

    By default sent items should be saved in your Sent folder. For IMAP type accounts you should be able to change that by selecting the account in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars , then selecting 'Account' on the popup for it and then 'Advanced' at the bottom of the next popup

  • Why are sent emails not stored in the Sent Items folder in iOS7

    Why are sent emails not stored in the Sent Items folder?

    Thanks, Matt.
    I'm now starting to notice the emails that don't come in order are all posted from sites that use multiple platforms to send the same message; email, Facebook, Twitter, etc. so maybe that has something to do with it. I'm thinking the hold up is possibly at their end.

  • When downloading is complete, I can not see, run, nor access the file; it only appears in the "Downloads" window (and not the specified folder) and the only options permitted are to delete it, or to go to the download web site; what's blocking it?

    My PC's OS is 'MS Windows Vista Home Premium'. As my initil question states: When downloading, after the download completes, I can not see, run, nor access the file in it's designated folder. The download only appears in the "Downloads" window and the only "Right Click" options permitted are to "Remove From List", "Select All", & "Copy Download Link" I also can not double click to run it. What's blocking it?
    I have a similar problem when accessing .zip files that are attachments to my emails. Here, however, I can place the file in a designated folder, however, the .zip file and it's compressed content files are file-typed as "FireFox Document" and I get permissions errors when running an unzip tool.
    Why are my download files being quarantined ??? Is there a security setting option I need to change???
    To get around this, I'm using IE to download and install these files, but switching back & forth between FireFox & IE is a real pain.

    It's your anti-virus not working correctly while scanning. You can turn off the option to scan in Firefox's '''about:config''' by filtering for '''browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone''' and double-clicking that line to change the value to '''false'''

  • New messages not appearing in the INbox, only in 'All Mails'

    Hi,
    I'm using Gmail and iPhone 4.2.1. I'm managing gmail on the iphone using the Google Mail imap account.
    When my browser is open, new messages are delivered to the INbox, as well as to my 'All Mail' folder, which is normal behaviour. When I feth gmail on the iPhone, same thing: I see the messages in both folders.
    But, when my browser isn't open and I fetch new messages on the iPhone first, then these new messages are only stored in the "All Mail" folder and not in the INbox? Later, when I check in my browser, same thing: the fetched messages are missing from the INbox folder, and thus, I have a gap in the INbox.
    How can I fix this?
    Thanks!
    Kris
