Some sent items missing in Mac Mail

Hi
I have an issue where some of my sent items do not get saved to the Sent Items folder.
The email account in question is a work Exchange Server 2003 one and I have it set up as an IMAP account. I have the correct sent items folder configured so that all my devices (mac at home, iPad and iPhone) all sync perfectly with it. The problem appears to occur, sometimes but not always, in the following circumstances:
When I am connected to the work network via ethernet.
When the email size is quite large.
Bizarrely when I unplug the ethernet and connect to the office network wirelessly there is no issue. There is another mac in the office running on Snow Leopard (I'm Lion) at it has exactly the same issue.
Needless to say this isn't an ideal situation particularly when dealing with work emails. Can someone please help?
Many thanks
Adrian

Sorry no help, but I'm having a similar issue with an IMAP mailbox and this may be related.
I just sent a very important email (no atachments) and watched the progress bar complete as it was sent. I went to re-read it an hour later to find it missing from my sent folder. Now I don't know if it was sent or not.
I reindexed my messages by following step 2 on this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1907
but that didn't help.
After doing that I checked the same mailbox on another device and it's not in the sent folder which leads me to the conclusion that it hasn't been stored in the sent folder on the server.
Now I'm not sure exactly how it works, but if it wasn't sent shouldn't mail receive that info from the server and inform us, keeping the message as draft?

Help needed! GMail sent items missing from Apple Mail!

I need your help to solve a problem that I've identified recently in Apple Mail with a GMail account:
I have a POP-enabled GMail account in Mail, but also with IMAP functionality enabled through GMail's webmail settings (probably because I access it also from my iPad).
However, I notice that my local "Sent" mailbox in Mail only contains some 140 messages, even if a visit to GMail's webmail page shows me that I have at least 1200 "sent" messages.
I must note that my advanced mailbox settings in Mail do NOT allow for automatic deletion of sent items.
So my question is: how to make sure that I do not lose ANY sent items from GMail or any other account for that matter (i.e., that whatever is sent remains in the local "sent" mailbox in Mail)? Am I missing something?
Thanks a lot in advance for your help.

Or am I saying something stupid?
No I don't think so. But from what you're saying, the only copies of sent messages on your computer will be what you are sending from the computer. The messages sent from the iPad or website are not stored on the computer. If it were all set as IMAP, they will be available on all devices.
Thanks a lot for your attentive reply - my only concern is that, when I activate IMAP, I won't be able anymore to have a steady copy of all items in my sent items folder on Apple Mail, nor to delete what I want at will.
Changing it to IMAP will make the all sent items available on the server to your computer, website, and other devices. They will always be there as long as you don't delete them from the server. The messages you manually delete will delete them from the server and all devices. If you want a local backup, then copy them to a local folder which will not remove them from the server or move them to a local folder which will delete them from the server.
Auto syncing does not in any way interfere with local folders on the Mac. The only IMAP folders you can sync are the inbox, sent, drafts, and junk. Inbox is the only mailbox that has to be synced (it's done automatically and you can't change it). I also sync the Sent and Trash. I don't sync (store messages on the server) the drafts or junk mailbox.
I don't understand what you mean by not being able to delete messages from the Inbox. I do it all the time. What happens when you delete it depends on your settings in gmail. Gmail has some peculiar settings like having a deleted items folder besides the Trash folder. The default is to delete from inbox, it goes to the deleted items folder. Delete it from there, and it goes to Trash. Delete it from trash to get rid of it. The fact is that the All Mail folder shows the message no matter what folder it in. I have mine set to move it straight to the trash when moved from the last visible IMAP folder. So, when I delete it from Mail's Inbox, it moves it to the trash just as local messages do.
If you plan to do your email from the computer only, then POP is fine. If you plan to use the website and iPad also, then IMAP is the way to go.
That way everything in mail is available no matter where you look at it. The only things you won't see is what you move to local folders.
Seems like you should go to gmail's website and read the help files to become more familiar with it. Also look at all the settings available (expecially the Labels Tab, Accounts tab, and Forwarding Tab. These settings will be what you will use mostly to customize how it works and flows with the Mac. If you're going to use IMAP, you need to understand what they do exactly and what you want them to do for you.
My sole objective: to keep ALL messages in Apple Mail (except those I expressly delete), as well as ALL messages in Google.
IMAP does exactly this for you already. By leaving it on the server, they are on the computer. In Mails preference settings in the Accounts / Advanced Tab, for IMAP accounts keep the setting for storing messages for offline viewing. That way Mail actually does store a copy locally until you delete it from the server. And that will be backed up with your computer backup.
And what you do delete from any device will duplicate it elsewhere.

Exchange "Sent Items" Missing issue in Mail

I lost my "Sent Items" mails and sync. I have looked all over this place and found nothing, but this one worked for me, I`ve taken the idea from here (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4173886?start=0&tstart=0) similiar to Calendar issue
Open Mail
Go to the Mail > Preferences.
Select the Accounts tab.
Remove the Exchange server account which is giving you the error messages. This mailbox will be removed from the Mail app.
Close Mail (cmd + Q)
Go to System Preferences and click on the "Mail, Contacts & Calendars" pane, find your Exchange server account, and check the "Mail" option to re-enable your Mail (I`ve got an "unknown problem" when activating, the last resort I tried was to close current session - and retrying this step - it worked for me this way)
Your Mail should now sync properly.
Hope it works for you

on step 5) before clicking "Mail", it`s necessary to click on "details" (on the right corner) to input your password

We used to get a 'whooshing' noise when we sent an eMail using mac Mail. This no longer happens. We recently updated to Mountain Lion 10.8.1 Can anyone throw light on this please? David

Gmail IMAP Sent Mail folder missing in Mac Mail

I made a change in Mac Mail by using the Mailbox/Use this mailbox for Sent Mail menu item on the [Gmail] Sent Mail folder and the original
[Gmail] Sent Mail folder has vanished. It still appears in the Gmail web interface and is checked on to show up in IMAP, but it doesn't appear in Mac Mail. Sent messages to appear in the Mac Mail snet folder, which is fine but I want to [Gmail] Sent Mail folder back. I tried turning the "show in IMAP" setting in Gmail on and off and it works for other folders, but not for the "Sent Mail" folder. I also tried restoring an older copy of the com.apple.mail.plist file but that didn't work either. Any ideas how to get it back? Pop is turned off as well.

It seems this is the desired behavior in Mail, as I don't need the [Gmail] folders to appear since the mail is all in the Mac Mail folders.
Of course, this might all break again when I upgrade to Mavericks :-(

Quicktime Plug-In Missing from Mac Mail

MacPro, 2.8 Quad-Core
10GB RAM
OS 10.7.5
Today whenever I try to attach a QT movie to a Mac Mail message, an icon pops up and says it's missing the QT Plug-In.
This happens once and a while with PDF's as well. However, typically I reattach and everything works.
I've googled this and searched on here for a solution but can't seem to find a solution or an approach that applies.
Thanks in advance.

All my gmail folders are missing from MAC mail.

I was using a gmail backup account to protect my MAC mail folders from being lost, as has happened before. And now They have all been jacked again.
I have found all the info. on my gmail account but I can not deem to import them back into MAC Mail. (I use MAC OSX 10.9.1)
I need help.
I have done all I have read about online:
1. All mail, checked to 'show'
2. IMAP enabled
3. POP mail disabled
Still all my folders are on my gmail account listed under labels...and in the left hand side in the folders area.
All I did to have this happen, is to have a password update, cause my gmail would not sync for some reason, and BOOM. Gone!
Yikes,
HELP!

Image Size pop up menu missing in Mac Mail

Hi all,
I've just noticed a very frustrating problem with my mac mail which seems to have started recently, for no apparent reason. I have made no updates to my mac mail at all.
Basically when I attach and image to a new email, there used to be a pop up menu appear in the bottom right of the window where you can select the size of the image - small, medium, large or actual size.
This has randomly disappeared!
I cannot find any settings in the preferences for it to reappear. I have made no changes that would have caused this - at least not knowingly.
Any ideas as to how I can get the image size pop up menu to reappear when I am attaching images to a new email?

Well, it seems I have solved the problem. After searching all afternoon for a solution i thought i'd try the last thing on the list - quit mac mail and re open.
It worked!
The Image Size pop up menu now appears again when images are attached to the email.
Despite this, id still like to know what I did to remove it.
Any idea?

Exchange 2010 archiving: sent items missing

Hi,
I have created an archive for a user with rule to archive anything older than a year. However I haven't noticed the sent items folder does not exist in archive, so the consequence is there are no sent emails older than a year.
So the question is, how can I recover them?
Thank you in advance!

What sort of archive? PST or In Place Within Exchange? You generally wouldnt use a rule to archive however.

Some sent messages lost in Apple Mail

I have a new Macbook Pro early 2015 running Yosemite and use Apple Mail.
I am surprised at how slow outgoing messages are to send, regardless of whether I'm on a fast or slow wifi network, regardless of whether the message has rich content.
More troubling is that once in a while, and I think its for particularly long sends, the sent message never appears in my Sent box.
Rebuilding doesn't restore them.
This is on an imap server. It doesn't use a Path prefix, uses Port 993 and SSL is selected.
Can anyone help? I need to keep my sent messages for reference. I saw an older post like this from 2007 but was never listed as resolved.

BTW, you posted in the Lion forum instead of Yosemite. For best results post in Yosemite the next time.
We need to determine if this is a Spotlight issue or a problem in Mail. It would be helpful to know what type IMAP? iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook.com or other.
If you search in Spotlight in the Finder (top right in menu bar) for the message subject does it show up? If yes, can you find the message in Mail search?
HOW TO RE-INDEX YOUR SPOTLIGHT CACHE FILES
Option 1)
From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
* Click Spotlight.
* Make sure Mail & Messages is checked under the Search Results tab.
* Click the Privacy tab.
* Drag your drive to the list. Wait a couple of minutes.
* Remove the item you added.
* Spotlight will re-index the contents of the item you initially dragged to the list.
Option 2)
Follow the steps here.
Use OS X Recovery Disk Assistant to reset Your files and folder permissions
When you restart Spotlight will reindex your entire drive.
Option 3)
Copy the text below and open Terminal (in /Application/Utilities). Paste the code into the Terminal window at the prompt.
sudo mdutil -E /
You will be asked for your administrator password (and if you've never used the sudo command you'll need to accept the warning presented). When you type your password, it will look like nothing is being typed. That's normal. Once you've typed your administrator password, press Return.
This will completely remove the Spotlight index and force a new one to be created. Probably not necessary, but I would immediately quit Terminal and restart your Mac.
SUMMARY:
Depending on your Mac and the contents of it's hard disk, re-indexing may take several hours. Doing this overnight is a good option if you have a large drive.
You can tell if it's still in progress by simply looking at the Spotlight menu: There's a blinking dot in the middle of the magnifying glass while indexing is occurring. You can also open Activity Monitor in Applications/Utilities and type in md in the search filter. You should see mdworker32 and mdworker. mdworker32 is the Microsoft Outlook Spotlight index and mdworker is for system.
Until this process is finished, Spotlight won’t know the contents of your disks and neither will Mail.

Some records are missing in the mail, when scheduled a background job.

There is a Z report, which will display some details from SD, MM , WM every day , and the same thing need to be mailed to the user through background Job.
Issue is that spool is correct and it is missing some records ( Billing due list ), even internal table have records and displayed in the spool , in the mail it says
No Entries Found.
Is there any chance of debugging background job.
Good thing is that when executed in foreground it is working fine. Both mail and report display.

EM_BODY = '4) VF04 -- Processing Billing document due list.'.
APPEND EM_BODY.
EM_BODY = ' '.
APPEND EM_BODY.
IF IT_FINAL3[] IS INITIAL.
    EM_BODY = '        No Entry Found'.
    APPEND EM_BODY.
    EM_BODY = ' '.
    APPEND EM_BODY.
ELSE.
    CONCATENATE 'Delivery No' 'Created By' 'Created On'
                 'Reason' INTO HEAD SEPARATED BY '     '.
    EM_BODY = HEAD.
    APPEND EM_BODY.
    EM_BODY = ' '.
    APPEND EM_BODY.
    CLEAR V_TEXT.
    CLEAR ITEM.
    LOOP AT IT_FINAL3.
      CONCATENATE IT_FINAL3-VBELN IT_FINAL3-ERNAM IT_final3-ERDAT
                  IT_FINAL3-RESO INTO ITEM SEPARATED BY '     '.
      V_TEXT = ITEM.
      EM_BODY = V_TEXT.
      APPEND EM_BODY.
    ENDLOOP.
    EM_BODY = ' '.
    APPEND EM_BODY.
ENDIF.
This is the part where it is failing, where it_final3[] is initial.
but whereas in the spool i can view those records.

Some Exchange folders missing in Apple Mail

I normally use Outlook for Mac but I'm trying to use Apple Mail. My account is fully set up, I can send and receive mail with no problems. However, one important folder in Exchange is not showing up in Mail. It happens to be my Archive folder which is obviously important to me.
I have a MBP and a MBA. The same configuration is working fine on my MBA, but for some reason the archive folder won't show up on the MBP.
Any ideas?
