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?

  • "Sent" folder in Mail doesn't sync with "Sent" folder on Gmail. PLEASE HELP!!!!

    I am completely stumped by this and really REALLY frustrated.
    I can't figure out how to make the "sent" folder in mail (i.e the one with the paper plane icon) contain ALL my sent messages from Gmail.
    It works perfectly fine on my iPhone and iPad but just not mail on my mac!!!
    I am using Mail version 4.5 and Snow Leopard.
    PLEASE someone HELP!!!
    Thanks

    I'm new here so you'll have to bear with me if my explanation needs work!
    I suspect that your problem may be that your Mac is storing the sent stuff on the local folder (probably hapening with junk and trash too???) If this is the case then...
    Make sure you have the correct IMAP path prefix - entered in Mail Preferences > Accounts > Advanced - I believe that the prefix you need is Gmail
    Quit Mail so it doesn't interfere with what you're doing,
    Open  ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist with the Property List Editor
    Take a back up copy (I saved mine to desk top) of com.apple.mail.plist
    Look for the key named MailAccounts and click the arrow to expand it
    you should see all your accounts indexed as 0, 1, 2, etx
    Find your IMAP accounts (check that the key AccountType is IMAPAccount)
    Find the key SentMessagesMailboxName and change it to Gmail/Sent (substitute INBOX for IMAP Path Prefix if incorrect)
    Find the key TrashMailboxName and change it to Gmail/Trash
    I think I had to do the same with junk too
    Hope that is of some use or at least makes enough sense :-)

  • Missing Gmail 'Sent' Folder

    Have several times, clicked Manage Folder Subscriptions > Refresh
    ... and then re-started Thunderbird.
    Of course, the Sent folder does display on the Gmail site.
    Sometimes folders come and go, but can't make this one come back.
    Ideas?
    Thanks much.

    The folder is never empty-- can't answer that question.
    BTW, the folder is now displaying ugh

  • Mail I sent from Blackberry isn't appearing in gmail sent folder?

    I sent an email from my blackberry.. then shortly after I hit 'delete prior' messages to clear up my messages. The mail I sent never appeared in my 'sent' folder on gmail as it usually always does when I send a mail. Did the person get it? Or did it not receive b/c I hit delete prior?
    thank you

  • Items from Gmail Sent folder not imported to Apple Mail during IMAP setup

    Hi,
    I just set up IMAP for my Gmail account. Now, although my Inbox folder got copied over to Apple Mail, the Sent folder did not.
    Anyone know how I can copy this over too? Its just that I have lots of flagged items that I occasionally reference from the Sent folder.
    Thanks.

    I'm presuming you have webmail access? In the webmail environment, can you move those messages into another folder or into the inbox itself, then connect in the Mac Mail.app environment, the mailboxes/folders will synchronize, then drag-and-drop them into the Sent folder? And make sure that in Mail's Prefs, you have the "Store Sent Mail on server" checkbox checked?

  • Gmail ''sent folder'' missing...

    hi guys !
    i just set up my Apple Mail ( gmail pop account ? i think... ) it ''imported'' some 3000 emails other people wrote to me in the last three years or so but not a single one of the 2000+ i wrote/sent to others in the same period of time !?...
    i've been around the Gmail settings page, looked around in the Mail menus but saw nothing that indicated being able to import this ''Gmail Sent Email Folder'' from Gmail over to my iMac...
    what am i doing wrong ? any help would be VERY appreciated, thanks in advance
    Nuno

    hi ernie
    well i'm afraid there's not much else, as i said i enabled POP in the gmail settings page then clicked the save button. then back to Apple Mail, went through the necessary steps when you first open Mail , you know : username, password & so on...basically i followed the indications written on Gmail about setting up POP accounts in Mail. when i was done with all that, Mail started ''receiving'' packs of 300 or 400 emails at a time until it had all of them in.
    being quite stubborn, after i posted here i went back & realized they where ALL mixed up together : the emails people wrote to me & the ones i wrote to them so, to get those in my Sent folder, i went to the mail menu, selected view --> sort by --> from & Mail organized emails by name of sender alphabetically, then all i had to do was select all that had my name as sender, right click & select move to--> sent --> gmail & as by magic, it all fell into place.
    i feel i have done something NOT the right way at all but am happy i manage to get it as i wanted, i had tried the imap set-up before & hated how Mail behaved & clutter of Mails interface with things i just don't use or want to use, you know ?
    anyway many thanks for trying & sorry for the bother
    cheers

  • 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?

  • How do I sync my sent folder?

    Emails that I send from my Thunderbird client are not showing up when I access my account from a different source (the actual website or other another client via smartphone).
    It's only for a specific account, my iCloud account (which is using IMAP). I don't know if it's an issue with the actual iCloud server or the Thunderbird client, but all my other accounts seem to be syncing just fine. I tried removing and adding the account again, and it didn't work.
    If there's anything else that you need to know in order to fix my issue, then please don't hesitate to ask.

    What are your settings on send? ''Account settings / copies& folders ''

  • Why Gmail sent from my iPhone not appearing in iMac's Sent folder?

    Hi guys,
    Some time after installing iCloud - possibly the same day, I sent a message from my iPhone 3G to multiple recipients.
    a) No one got it, b) my message appears as Sent in iPhone and in Gmail (on their site), and on my iMac's Gmail/Sent folder, but not in the iMac's Mail/Sent folder - which is the one I always check.
    I have 2 questions: 1. how come a message appearing as Sent on Gmail's own site isn't received (there were 4 recipients) and, 2. why does it appear as Sent in some but not all Sent folders?
    Would iCloud have anything to do with it?
    I just sent a test message to myself from my iPhone. I got the message both on the iPhone AND iMac, but again the message does not appear in the iMac's/Mail Sent folder. Bizarre?
    PS   All my software is up to date, regardless of what my profile says.
    Thanks a lot,
    Raphael

    Please ignore the above .  I have discovered what I did wrong - but don't know how to delete the question!
    Sorry

  • After Mail crash, Sent folder not syncing with Exchange

    I was able to successfully configure Mail on SN to work with Exchange 2007. After about two days of trouble free operation, my Mail client crashed. After that it has stopped syncing the Sent folder with Exchange. I have tried reboot of my MacBook Pro and restarts on the Exchange server but with no success. Mail that is sent from SN as well as from other clients (such as Outlook or Outlook Web Access) appears in the Sent folder on Exchange but none of these emails are now appearing in the Sent Mailbox in Mail on SN. However, the messages that were sent before the crash are synced and available in the Mail on SN. Appreciate any suggestions or help.

    I'm frankly always shocked at the lack of quality. I somehow insist on believing in Apple, which consistently doesn't appear to deserve it. Been using MobileMe to sync my dock between 3 Macs. An iMac at home, one at the office, and a MacBook Pro on the go.
    Now, my notepad refuses to stay in the dock, despite me following all the advice I could find on this specific issue from Apple and forums. MobileMe Sync items are also high up my list of items I very much like to have, but of course, they don't work well. I thought Snow Leopard was to be an extremely high quality release. That was the whole point of this release. Nothing but fixing all the broken things that exist.
    So much for quality. They had a whole 18 months not to add features, but just to fix all that is broken. And this is the result. Things that are highlighted as awesome features that fall short of functioning properly. Who tests this stuff, two guys in a basement?

  • How do I make my iPhone 'sent' mail folder sync exactly with my iMac 'sent' folder?

    I've got an email set up through IMAP on my iPhone and on my mac and I've been using it for years but I've realized all of my folders sync exactly with the exception of my "sent" mailbox. For some reason, when I send something on my comp, it doesn't show in the sent folder on my phone? Does anyone have a clue as to what this could be and how I get them to sync like the rest?

    Because everything is on the same home network, all are wireless except the mini, I'd rather not do a cloud base setup. It doesn't make sence to upload then download if all are on the same network. Maybe I'm asking how to setup a secure home network.

  • Why does mail sent using the MacOSX mail client not show up in my sent folder when I access my Gmail account in a browser?

    I've recently started using my first Mac, and I hooked my work email (Forwarded to Google Mail) and my personal email (Gmail) into the MacOSX mail client. Everything seemed to be going smoothly, until I noticed that sent mail from my work email through the MacOSX Mail client is not showing up in my sent box on any other clients. Sent mail does show up in my personal email in Gmail, though.
    Can anyone help me understand why mail sent from the MacOSX Mail client doesn't end up in the sent folder of my work Gmail account? I suspect it has something to do with the forwarding-to-Google process -- a sort of "too many cooks in the kitchen" situation. Has anyone heard of this problem before? What should I try?

    I've been noticing that too.  Just told me there were 6 outgoing messages, even though I did not create any new messages.
    One hypothesis is that it's generating those messages when a rule moves an email from one folder to another.
    Can someone at Apple confirm this?

  • Duplicate Messages in Sent Folder--Apple mail and gmail

    I recently started using apple mail for my two gmail accounts.
    I have properly configured all folders (highlight "trash" from gmail and click use this mailbox for..)
    since i have two gmail accounts, i did this for both of them.
    i did a couple of test emails from my main gmail account. now, in my sent folder it's showing duplicates for what i've sent, one from my main gmail account, one from my second gmail account.
    I've tried to uncheck the box where it saves messages on server in preferences, and that seemed to work. however, i checked on my iphone and my sent message showed up..not in my main gmail account sent mail, but in my secondary gmail account sent mail.
    can this be fixed?

    check out the settings here: http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=78892#
    specifically:
    From the Mail menu, click Preferences > Accounts > Mailbox Behaviors
    Drafts:
    Store draft messages on the server > do NOT check
    Sent:
    Store sent messages on the server > do NOT check
    Junk:
    Store junk messages on the server > checked
    Delete junk messages when > Never
    Trash:
    Move deleted messages to the Trash mailbox > do NOT check
    Store deleted messages on the server > do NOT check
