Strange Mail Box behaviors Sent Mail and Drafts ...

Hi,
When i make a new mail, it always get saved in the drafts folder, also when i sent it within a couple of minutes.
Not saving mails as draft.
All mails we sent are coming in the sent mailbox as Unread .. ?
Recieving and sending mails is working normal.
Any idea to how to solv this. I didn't updated to 10.6.3 yet, will do that next week.

Yes, as I thought.
I have trashed the mail account (having firts deleted the emial at the email provider) and re- entered it.
Problem solved.

    Email seems to be sent, but it doesn't arrive. No 'unable to send' message, sent items and draft folders are empty. The mail disappears. I tried to fully turn off the iPad and have it restart. But it doesn't go off. I keep seeing the small white 'turning wheel' untill the battery is gone. After that, it works again (and so does the e-mail). This happens about every week. What can I do?

    Anyway, as I mentioned, I don't use any sync-able email, just a very plain-jane POP email provider. iSync reports no devices and has nothing in its log, which matches my never having installed anything in need of syncing.
    The thing is, if Mail says its sending something when nothing was ever sent, that's a largish bug whether it is actually sending something or isn't, and there isn't really enough info here to know which of those are the case. Maybe Mail just displays "Sending" because an attempt to do something reasonable is timing out, maybe it does an innocuous and normal POP thing using very confusing nomenclature, or maybe it's really trying to send something which has a wrong flag or something. There isn't really enough info to know what is going on, so I was hoping someone could identify the symptoms.

  • IMAP Email: Sent, Trash, and Draft folder behavior

    I just did a fresh install of Snow Leopard where I'm unable to configure or sync the Sent, Trash, and Draft Folders in their specific top level sections. Although, I was able to successfully configure them in this way before I reinstalled Snow Leopard (currently running 10.6.6).
    I had 3 IMAP accounts within three top level folder sections called Inbox (3 accounts), Sent (3 accounts), Draft (3 accounts), and Trash (3 accounts) where all email was stored/synced on the IMAP server hosted by my webhost.
    After reinstalling Snow Leopard, I configured each account the same exact way where the Inbox folder was configured just fine on the top level but now the Sent, Draft, and Trash folders have now moved to the lower level "On My Mac" section where specific sections were created for each account (Example: (Account 1 - Sent, Draft, Trash). Although, I do see a Sent section in the top level with nothing in it.
    When configuring the email, I selected to store sent email, drafts, and trash on the server. Path is currently set to INBOX. I really do not understand why Mail is creating separate lower level "On My Mac" sections and placing the Sent, Draft, and Trash folders in there.
    I greatly appreciate any help or tips I can try to set my IMAP email the way I had it before.

    Select the 'Sent' mailbox in the lower section, choose menu 'Mailbox' > 'Use this Mailbox for' > 'Sent'.
    Repeat the procedure for the other mailboxes (drafts, junk, trash).

  • TS3276 how do i get my mail box on my iPhone and iPad to STOP showing me ALL my emails and ONLY show me my NEW ones?

    how do i get my mail box on my iPhone and iPad to STOP showing me ALL my emails and ONLY show me my NEW ones?

    Who is email provider? What sort of email account is it - POP3, IMAP or Exchange? POP3 will work like this as with that whoever first downloads the latest mail from the server deletes it from there and so it's unavailable to other mail clients on other devices.
    Either switch your email account to  IMAP  or change your POP3 account's settings so the new mails are not deleted for some time (a week, a month or whatever) after first download and are thus available to other devices also (IMAP is best solution but if POP3 is all that's available from whoever your provider is then you'll have to live with POP's limitations).

    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?

  • Lost Sent Items and Drafts

    I upgraded someone's iPhone 4 to iOS 5 this morning and then set up iCloud. Before there was only one email account, but it was expanded to two when a new me.com account was added during the iCloud setup process.
    The user's Sent Items and Drafts were lost.
    Is there any way to retrieve these items from the last backup without having to restore the entire iPhone from the backup that included the lost items?

    I can't imagine what's happening there, but it might help to run Clear-ActiveSyncDevice, and then configure it again. Unless you already tried it? I know there's not going to be much on the device that needs clearing, but it might reset some flags at the
    server end.

  • Apple told me that my iPhone 4 does not have the possibility to store sent e-mails. I can not believe that, but my iPhone has a box for sent mails that is always empty. How can my iPhone store sent e-mails?

    The Apple helpdesk told me that my iPhone 4 does not have the function to keep sent mails stored. I cannot believe that. My iPhone 4 has a Sent box, I have checked the Sent box in Configuratieo--> E-mail, ...Calender..,but the Sent box is always empty after I have sent an E-mail. I know that the E-mails arrive at their destinations. How can I activate the Sent box?

    lol the person you talked to at Apple was not very bright.
    Of course you can have sent items in your mail on the iPhone 4. I have mine there all the time.
    Sounds like you might have issues with the software.
    I recommend trying a reset, send email and see if that goes to the sent items directory
    If not do a restore.

  • MAIL IS EATING SENT MAIL AND SENDING DUPLICATES

    hi-
    i've been having MAJOR mail issues. the biggest are .mac mail is eating my sent email - they just disappear into thin air - never to be found again.
    and i've noticed there are duplicates - 2, and sometime 4 of the same email sent out.
    i am using the mail.mac.com as incoming and outgoing server. i have sbc global as my dsl. i've called applecare numerous times and sbc. they cannot figure it out.
    can someone please help me sort this out?
    thanks so much
    rainey

    well...that's the tricky part. sometimes it eats my mail. and other times it sends out duplicates.
    it tends to do this if i've just sent an email and i go into my sent box shortly after, all of a sudden it'll show up and then poof - disappear.
    other times if i'm not looking at what i've sent i'll ocassionally look in sent box and notice there are 2, 3 and sometime 4 dups sent to the same person.
    these are just 2 problems of the MANY that i've had with email.
    also when i have a disc in my drive (say scrabble game) my minimize options disappear...
    i'm all jacked up.
    any advice on any is greatly appreciated.
    a friend thinks my box is corupted b/c i started it when i was still operating on panther and when i upgraded to tiger problems started.
    thanks

  • How to ping mail server in sent mail ?

    in my send mail code if my mail server is invalid then it throws SocketException if i want to ping mail server before i sent email how can i do that if i want avoid this SocketException

    AmitChalwade123456 wrote:

Even if it responds to the ping, it may go down between the ping and sending the mail. Or it may respond to the ping, meaning the box is up, but the mail service may still be down.
    Whether it comes from a failed ping or from an exception, the end result is the same: You can't send mail to that server right now.
    Just catch the exception and handle it. Don't overcomplicate things for no gain.

  • Mail downloading gmail sent mail?

    This could be a gmail thing and not a .mac but I can't find a setting in gmail that seems to account for this action.
    I check my gmail with Mail and only occasionally use it to send stuff but when I do, at the end of the day, Mail seems to download a CC of the mail that I've sent (which I've not actually CCd or BCCd to myself). Does anyone know if this is a mac preference that I cant turn off somewhere?

    Not sure what you mean. If those messages are being sent using Gmail’s webmail interface (which you haven’t made clear), this is normal Gmail behavior and Mail has no bearing on it.
    Gmail POP access doesn’t work like a normal POP mail server would. Here are some of its idiosyncrasies (#4 could be what you’re observing):
    1. Messages downloaded by any conventional POP mail client are marked as downloaded at the server (but not as read on the web), and no longer available to either the same or any other POP mail client.
    2. To make already downloaded messages available for POP access again, you must go to Gmail’s Settings > Forwarding and POP page, select Enable POP for all mail, and click Save Changes, which causes everything (and I mean everything) still on the server to be downloaded again.
    3. The Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > Remove copy from server settings have absolutely no effect on the messages stored on Gmail’s server. Gmail ignores any requests to delete messages from the server made by a POP client. What happens to the messages on the server after a POP client has downloaded them is determined by Gmail’s Settings > Forwarding and POP > When messages are accessed with POP setting alone. In the case of Gmail (and only in that case), I recommend turning OFF Remove copy from server in Mail, so that Mail doesn’t even try to remove any messages from the server, regardless of whether you do actually want already downloaded messages to be removed from the server after some time or not.
    4. Messages sent using the web interface will be downloaded by your POP mail client as if they were received messages. Although this may seem weird, it's good because it allows archiving all messages locally in Mail, regardless of how they were sent — as long as you don't access the same Gmail account with more than one POP mail client, that is. You can set up a rule in Mail to automatically route those messages to the appropriate Sent mailbox (or to any other mailbox for that matter) if that's what you want.
    5. Messages sent using a POP/SMTP mail client such as Mail are also treated as if they were incoming messages for POP purposes, just as in #4. What prevents them from being downloaded is that Gmail marks them as already downloaded immediately. Since they’re on the server nonetheless, already sent messages would be downloaded together with all the other messages on the server if proceeding as described in #2.
    6. A particular case of #5 are messages sent to yourself. Instead of putting a copy of the sent message in the server’s Inbox and making it available for download, both the sent and the “received” message on the server are actually one and the same, and hence, cannot be downloaded via POP for the reason explained in #5.
    7. Gmail allows POP accounts to be set up in a special way that avoids some of these issues while introducing others. If you only need POP access to the last 30 days of mail, you may configure Mail in “recent mode”, as described in Using POP on multiple clients or mobile devices. Configuring the account this way would allow Mail to download messages marked by Gmail as already downloaded (and download messages sent to yourself in particular), but it would also cause all sent messages (not just messages sent to yourself or through webmail) to be downloaded as if they were received messages.

  • How to Show images in mail box with java mail??????????

    On another note, please refrain from posting unnecessary, excessive punctuation. It only clutters up your message, which isn't a good thing. Thanks!

  • Subscription mails - verification of sent mails

    Hi all,
    does anybody know wether it´s possible to prove that subscription mails are really sent to every subscribed user? Means that (like in Sent Items box in MS Outlook) sent mails are stored anywhere? The reason why asking is that my customer have the rule of evidence from a juridical point of view.
    Any hint is welcome.
    Thanks,
    Andre

    Hi Andre
    I am not sure that this information is stored in the portal, but it might be stored on the Windows 2003 server, if that is the origin of the smtp-server you are using. And if it isn't stored there pr. default I would assume that it is possible to higher the logging level or whatever, so the sent notifications will be stored.
    If the portal does not return any subscription mail error, and the mails have not reached the subscribers, you will also most likely be able to see the mails on the smtp-server.
    But if you have to prove that some mails already have been sent, then that is not much help to you.
    Hope it helps.
    Kind regards,
    Martin

  • Mail - Yahoo IMAP sent mail not appearing

    Hi all,
    I've been trying to troubleshoot this without much success. I've an iphone and a MBP running Lion. I've several Yahoo and Gmail accounts, and they are all set up as IMAP accounts.
    Receiving and viewing messages are fine. However, if I were to send an email using one of the Yahoo accounts via Mail on the MBP, it gets sent successfully, but that email does not appear within the 'server' sent mailbox, nor within my iPhone mail app. Gmail seems to work fine.
    I've highlighted each relevant 'sent' mailbox on my mac and set it to 'Use this mailbox' within the Mailbox menu, but it has not made a difference.
    Any ideas on how to resolve this?
    Much appreciated.
    Thanks!
    Alvin

    Sending is done via SMTP. What happened here is that SMTP accepted the mails for sending (thus, the mail client put them in the sent folder). From that moment on, SMTP needs to actually deliver mails to the recipient(s). Until this has happened, mails stay in the mail queue of your mail server.
    You did not mention if the mails got eventually delivered, so here is a list of some possible reasons for late delivery or non-delivery:
    -Receiving mail server does not respond
    -Connectivity issues
    -amavisd not running
    -Mail got flagged as spam (non-delivery). This would happen if you are trying to send mail from a blacklisted IP (like dynamic IPs) and your mail server is not configured to bypass spam scans for authenticated users.
