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

    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.  

  • 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 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

    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 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.

    Create a NEW account using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.

  • On OSX 10.6.8 Mac Mail sent items do not show the Bcc field. Adjusting settings in mail/prefs/viewing/custom/bcc has no affect on Mail, ie Bcc still does not appear on sent items. Anyone got a fix?

Yet another example of Mac caring not a jot about the performance of versions of OS and software running on on older hardware. Anyone got a fix by any chance? Oh and fyi I need to see the Bcc in sent items to confirm sent email is attaching to Salesforece - when I see the Bcc I know I can delete it as a copy will be in SForce. Big thanks W.

  • HT201250 My time machine back up does not appear to back up documents and e mails (the most important things for me). How do I get this done?

    My time machine back up does not appear to back up documents and e mails (the most important things for me). How do I get this done?

    How do you know it's not backing up those things? To check documents, go in the Finder to your documents folder, then go to the Time Machine icon in your menubar and click Enter Time Machine. Scroll back through time and see if previous versions of the documents exist in the backups.
    For Mail, same thing. Open the Mail app, go into Time Machine in the same way, and scroll back. Your inbox should change to reflect how it looked when it was backed up.

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • "1 New Message" does not appear

    Hello forumers
    I have a Nokia 5800, but it appears to be broken - whenever I receive a new message, it literally doesn't show up on my front page. It just stays blank, as if I didn't receive a message. However when I go to the Messaging application, there is clearly multiple messages that I have missed over the course of the day. The message icon does not even show up on the top of the screen, I'd literally have to check my inbox to see if there are any unread messages.
    What I discovered recently is that the only indication to getting a new message, is the menu button lights up. There are no vibration alerts either (I've thoroughly checked the Profile settings).
    If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it a huge amount... I've also already done a software update which gave me the latest home screen with a cool contacts scroller!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    As mentioned in my first post, I've both checked the profile settings and no, the envelope icon does not appear on the screen.
    You are probably right in saying there are too many messages, there are 3985 lol. I'll back them up and do as you advised, and let you know the outcome.
    Thank you very much

  • HT1600 confirmation message does not appear

    Using AppleTv, after choosing a film to rent, does not appear the confirmation message.

    After respondents hit submit they should see the customized confirmation message/page. Can you send the link to the form to [email protected] so we can take a look at it.
    Is this a problem for everyone? or just a few people? Can you provide the OS/browser type/Browser version of the users having problems.
    Thanks,
