Sync gmail sent items

Hi,
i recently setup Gmail IMAP on my IPAD2, like Google said in it's docs, and noticed that I have 2 folders of "Sent Items" on my Ipad2 Mail app and both are empty, both return empty searches when i try to search in them, and both say: Updated : 11-09-14 4:05pm (now)
- when i send an email from my ipad2 i can see it form my desktop but not from sent items on ipad2...
any ideas?

as a temporary work arounds, two possible solutions:
(1) activate "always bcc myself" on the iphone. move the sent email to "inbox" on iphone.
(2) physcially move sent emails on the iphone from the sent items folder to inbox. on Mail.app, move the sent emails from "inbox" to "sent items".
any other solutions?

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.

Syncing Gmail Sent Folder

I just setup my gmail account as IMAP with mac mail. It synced my inbox but won't sync with my sent folder. Help please!

Ok... How about this...
Go to Gmail online. Login to your account, then: SETTINGS > LABELS. Now set the "Show" and "Hide" options for the various folders.
Make sure to QUIT Mail and then restart it after this...
Anything?

How to sync macmail sent item to webmail

While sending email from my mac, error message prompt :" The Sent Mailbox could not be created on the mail server. The local 'Sent Messages' mailbox was created instead." How do i sync my mailbox to my email acct?

The only way to do what you want is to keep your mail on an IMAP server. Find out from Verizon whether it offers that service. If not, you'll have to get it somewhere else.

Can I sync 'Sent Items' on my iPhone to Outlook?

I use a POP email account (from my own domain) on my iPhone 4 and have the same email account in Outlook 2010 on my PC (running Win7 Ult). When on the road I will answer emails from my iPhone. Those are stored in my 'Sent' folder. How do I sync these Sent emails to my Outlook program so I can keep a record of them on my PC?

Nope I don't think it is possible to sync the sent items folder with pop mail... But you can with imap mail so you could choose to switch your email to imap assuming your domain name provider supports imap. Most of them do. If you google imap v pop mail you will see the difference as to how the email works but in brief with pop your email is fetched from the server and with imap it remains on the server and you view the email through outlook and apples email app. You can choose which folders you want to see including your sent items folder.
Hope that helps.

Gmail Active Sync Sent Items Not Showing

It's really annoying but is probably something simple

Sent Items not Syncing with Android (Nexus 7)

Hi,
Im hoping someone can shed some light on a small problem.
Ive just taken on a PA who has a Nexus 7 (Google, running Android 4.2) - I want her to be able to use my mac email on the tablet.
I use an iphone, ipad and 2 macs in my day and all of the email syncs seemlessly. Anything you do on one device, is mirrored on the others as Im sure most are aware.
Ive set up the Android Email (not GMAIL, just the standard configurable EMAIL program) program to use my mac email. Everything works brilliantly, except the syncing of the sent items. ALL other folders sync seemlessly as with the Apple devices. What is sent on the macs/iphone/ipad does not appear on the Nexus, and whatever is sent on the Nexus, only appears on the Nexus. Any emails sent from the Nexus get through just as if theyve been sent from any of the Apple devices.
Ive been through all the settings, and can not see where I am going wrong.
Be good to know if anyone has had experience of a similar issue and a fix?
Thanks.

I have exactly the same problem with Windows 7. The Sent folder has lots in it on icloud and my other devices, but is empty on the Outlook client on my PC. The sent folder is a "special" foder for iMap and is permenantly selected for syncing.
I switched off the iCloud mail in the control panel and then added it again with now luck.
Did you manage to get it working?

Can't get Mail- Gmail- Drafts(And Sent Items) to mirror online or my iphone

I have read the posts here and elsewhere on how to get this to work, but for some reason my 'Drafts'(and 'Sent' items) folder in Mail.app is still not the same as online or on my iphone. What exactly do i need to do to make Mail.app folders for Drafts/Sent items stay in synch with my iPhone and web based Gmail?
Here are my settings in Mail.app
-Gmail is Setup as IMAP
-in Mail->Prefs->Accounts->Mailbox Behaviours All boxes are checked for Server except 'Junk'
When looking at a normal 'Inbox' panel, if I mouse over the 'Gmail' account in 'Drafts' it says "Contents Stored on Server. Name on Server: Drafts"
However when viewing Mail.app->Drafts->Gmail, no draft messages are shown. If I do the same on my iPhone or the web based gmail I do see the up-to-date drafts. Also if i select the 'Drafts->Gmail folder), I do not get any options in (Mail->Mailbox->Use This Mailbox for).
That said, if I find the IMAP Structure in Mail(scrolling down accounts) I do see a folder structure called 'Gmail->[Google Mail]' that does contain the Drafts and Sent folders that are in synch.

"Sent Items" folder can not be synced up in time for Outlook 2013 cache mode

Hi,
I found a strange problem in Outlook 2013 cache mode. Hope anyone can help me find out if it is the new design of outlook 2013 or outlook 2013 issue.
I am using Exchange 2013 and Outlook 2013 client. I created two outlook profiles in two machines separately with a same exchange user, the difference for the two profiles is one is in cache mode, and the other is in uncache mode.
I launched outlook using the profiles in the two machines, go to "Sent Items" folder, I assume there are some messages in this folder in your mailbox, do below steps:
1. modify one of the messages in the "Sent Items" folder from the profile in cache mode, in this case, the changes to the message will be synced up to the profile which is in uncache mode immediately.
2. modify another messages in the "Sent Items" folder from the profile in uncache mode, in this case, the changes will never be synced up to the profile in cache mode.
In the second action above, even if I clicked "Send/Receive" button, and waited for whole night, the changes was not synched up to the cached mode side. The way I can get the latest changes to the "Sent Items" folder is "clear
offline items" and click "Update folder" or I need to remove and create the profile again.
All in all, the changes to the items in "Sent Items" folder of Outlook 2013 which was did from cache mode will be synched up to exchange server side immediately, but the changes which was did from exchange server side will
never be synched up to the cache mode side unless the end-user clear the offline items and update folder or create a new profile again.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance!
Best Regards, Emily

The first behavior is by design even in the previous version of Office.
"1. modify one of the messages in the "Sent Items" folder from the profile in cache mode, in this case, the changes to the message will be synced up to the profile which is in uncache mode immediately."
Uploading local changes ---- By default, when you make a change locally, that change is synced to the server after 15 seconds. When you make another change within those 15 seconds, then the timer is reset again. As now you
could in theory hold off synchronization indefinitely, there is the maximum timer. This timer is started after the first change that you made and when it reaches 60 seconds, then a synchronization will occur to upload all the changes that you have made thus
far, no matter how many seconds are left on the upload timer.
However, in second section, this should be a downloading server changes
behavior ---- When a server side mailbox change occurs, Outlook is notified by the Exchange server of this change. By default, Outlook will then wait 30 seconds before synchronizing these changes. If there are any other changes occurring
at the server level within these 30 seconds, then these changes are downloaded at the same time as well.
At this time, please directly modify the message in sender items folders through Web-based access and then wait over 30 seconds to check if the items changes from cache mode profile. Please also test if we can reproduce that in other folder.
Let me know the result. Thanks.
Cheers,
Tony Chen

SENT items in IMAP accts present illogically. GMAIL & MOBILEME are correct

The way email is presented in Sent Items of a user's IMAP mail account is illogical. In the left sidebar, MAIL is presenting the sent mail with the FROM name in boldface. Makes no sense, since I know they are all FROM "MYSELF", it only makes sense to differentiate them by the name of the person to whom these messages were SENT.
Also, in the main body of the email message, when viewing a SENT message, the HIDE button should not hide the TO, it should hide the FROM.
It is worth noting that on a GMAIL account and a MobileMe account, it works properly. This design flaw only occurs on an IMAP account (for me). I suppose it might affect POP accounts and others, too, but my 3 accounts are IMAP, GMAIL, and MOBILEME so I can only speak to those.

In further examination, I have found that with IMAP accounts, you can go into the Mailbox Behaviors and specify that you want the SENT ITEMS displayed from the SERVER instead of from the iPad, and that does indeed correct the problem.
But people with POP mail accounts do not have that option because their SENT ITEMS are not stored on their server, they would only be stored in their iPad.

Mail Sent Items not Syncing with Rackspace Server

Hi,
My sent items are not fully syncing with my rackspace email account. Some items sent through Mail show up in the rackspace sent items and some do not. I am worried that emails are not being sent. Also, when replicating, Mail will show something like "outgoing messages 35 of 35", when I send a single email to a single individual. What is that all about?
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

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??

Stop MfE sync'ing my sent items?

Hi, does anyone know if/how I can stop Mail for Exchange (v3.00.050) on my E71 from sync'ing the sent items from my corporate exchange mailbox?
I only want my inbox (plus a few select folders within it) to sync. My sent items has thousands of emails in it which I need to keep for company audit purposes, but that I don't want clogging up my E71. I do however need to sync all my inbox, but this only has a couple hundred emails in it at any one time so isn't an issue.
Any advice gratefully received.
Cheers,
Dave B.

Does anyone from nokia put any effort on these issues on this board? I asked this again today, but it seems that user experience is not so important for nokia.
Or maybe it is just frustrating job to answer "yes, we know that it is idiot that on your phone mail widget you can see sent items, but we are not going to do anything for it at this time"
Please let me know, are you going to fix this or shoud I change to HTC or iPhone.

How can I change gmail inbox/sent items display from conversations to individual messages

I use an iPod Touch 5G with IOS 8.1 to access email using the GMail app.
I want to change the inbox/sent items display lists to show individual e-mail messages. I don't like the "conversation" display on my small screen. It is too hard to read important info in the thread.
I don't see anywhere in my app to change that type of display.
Thanks.
