Syncing Sent Email

Hi,
Firstly, not the sharpest chisel in the toolshed when it comes to mail setups. And not entirely sure this was the best place to post this, as one Mac is Lion, and one is leopard, and other devices iOS.
Forgive me if I'm being thick, but..
If I answer an email on one mac or device, then when on my other mac or deivice & wanting to check what reply I sent to that email, it gives me an error message "Error Mail was unable to find your response to the message "(Blah, blah, blah)". You may have deleted the message.
I've done a fair bit of searching on this, and I'm sure it's probably just me not parsing the question in a way google likes it, or using the right terminology, but I keep finding answers to other issues but no mention of this issue.
I have an iphone 4, ipad 2, macbook pro retina, and an imac that I variously use for email in my business, (plus another 13 macs I don't email on!). It gets annoying when you have to search for which particular device you replied on to be able to read your reply.. I'm sure that this is not the implementation Apple has given us, and I'm missing something.
In case it matters, the email accounts are 2 x webmail accounts attched to my website, 2 x accounts my ISP provided ([email protected]) and 2 x Gmail accounts. All iMap.
Secondly, deleting emails doesn't alway delete them on the other devices. Also pretty annoying.
Looking forward to some help that will get me over this hump..
Pete

First check if hotmail does imap. I don't know but a simple google search should turn up a yes or no. Then I'm not sure if you can just change the present account from pop to imap or if you have to create a new account. Imap settings or different from pop in certain areas like the ports used and security settings.
Doing a google search for hotmail it seems it has gone from hotmail to live to outlook.com. Not sure outlook.com does imap but there is a section in the mail contacts and calendars section of system preferences for ms exchange which is what outlook.com uses, if I recall correctly.

MFE on E71 can not sync sent emails from PC in to ...

Please help!
when I sync my email using mfe everything seems to be ok from the calendars to email, except that I can not see the emails that I have sent from my laptop on my phone.
I can see emails that I have sent from my phone on my laptop after I have synced.
Please can someone help me to be able to synced sent items from PC to phone.
Thanks

Hello and Welcome.
The current version of MfE (2.9.xx) only support syncing the Inbox so you will not see the sent items.
Version 3 of MfE is due - sometime - and this is rumoured to support multiple folders.

How to sync "sent emails?"

I use bellsouth.net as my email account. My iphone 4 will not sync the "sent emails" from Microsoft Outlook. When I spoke with someone from Apple's support line he said that it was because I had a pop/smtp email and that I would have to change my email account to a newer one to be able to have my sent emails synced. Anyone have a solution to the problem?

The solution to the problem is as you were already provided.
You need an Exchange or IMAP account, which is designed for this. All server stored mailboxes with an Exchange or IMAP account are available automatically with each email client used to access the account along with all server stored mailboxes kept synchronized with the server with each email client used to access the account.
A POP account is from the early dark ages of email account access with an email client on a computer when the overwhelming majority had access to a single computer only - before there were laptops and long before there were any portable cell phones much less smart phones.

E90 using Mail for Exchange - Sync sent emails pro...

Hi
I am trying to setup Mail for Exchange on a Nokia E90 and am currently trying it with the free mail2web service before deciding what is right for me
I have gone through all settings and if I sync, it syncs the inbox fine with mail2web and tasks, calendars etc, but it will not sync the sent items folder from the PC to the E90. However, if I send a mail from the E90, it appears on the PC after a sync no problem
Is this a simple setting thing or a limitation?
Say for example, I want to send 20 emails from the PC, and then sync so I can have them on my phone, I do not seem to be able to do so??
Please help with any suggestions

Hello, all,
We have the following problem:
We do NOT want to exchange MAIL with MfE but still CONTACTS and CALENDAR.
We realised the connection with the echange server, and can send e-mails.
But the synchronisation of Contacts and Calendar did not succeed yet.
Maybe we do have to uninstall the synchronisation with the OVI-suite ?
Who has a suggestion?

E63 + Nokia Messaging + IMAP = Not Syncing Sent

**I originally posted this in the E Series forum, and decided to repost it here as it was more appropriate**
I recently downloaded Nokia Email Messaging, and I am loving the push email. However, I realised today that none of the emails I am sending from my phone are being synced to the IMAP sent folder, instead are being put in a Sent folder on the phone. I have told it to sync sent emails, drafts, and inbox.
Can you please help me with this. If I can't sync my sent emails so I can see them on my laptop as well via IMAP (webmail), then I will revert back to using ProfiMail.
Thanks in advance,
Nathan.

I have the same problem, mine on an E66. I send messages from an IMAP account on Nokia Messaging and the message goes in the Nokia Messaging Sent folder, but this is not sync'd with my email server Sent Items folder.
I even tried selecting the Sent Items folder as one to be sync'd on the Nokia Messaging website (edit settings), but this still didn't make any difference.
I even then tried Moving the messages from the Nokia Messaging Sent folder to the mapped Sent Items folder on the E66, then sync'd again, but still they won't appear on the server Sent Items folder.
I think what Nokia need to add is an option similar to the one on the Outlook configuration where you can select where sent items go - either to the default Outlook folder, or to a specific IMAP folder.

E63 + Nokia Messaging + IMAP = Not Syncing Sent It...

I recently downloaded Nokia Email Messaging, and I am loving the push email. However, I realised today that none of the emails I am sending from my phone are being synced to the IMAP sent folder, instead are being put in a Sent folder on the phone. I have told it to sync sent emails, and to sync the sent folder from the server. Therefore, I can see the IMAP sent folder in the app (which is seen threaded under the inbox) and I can also see the 'phones' sent folder.
Can you please help me with this. If I can't sync my sent emails so I can see them on my laptop as well via IMAP, then I will revert back to using ProfiMail.
Thanks in advance,
Nathan.

I realised today that I probably should have posted this in the Messaging forum, not the E Series forum, and that this could be why no one has been able to help. Therefore, I began a new thread here.

Issue with comcast sent email syncing between IPad and MacBook Air

When sending email from comcast account on my iPad the emails don't show up in sent mail on my MacBook mail application, why not? This is a problem when following up on key communications during a consulting project.

That's because Comcast for the majority of account uses POP email, and with POP all sent and downloaded mail is local to the device. Received mail can be set not to be automatically erased from the server and hence downloaded and read on multiple systems, but sent mail is not and can only be viewed in the sending system. Hence you have to sync the email by some other means, such as through iTunes to see it all on multiple devices.
Comcast does have a "beta" of IMAP, where all mail, send and received, is kept on their servers. If you're interested in that, see:
https://xcsignup.comcast.net/onboardingapps/imap

Any way to sync sent/received email messages on iPad with Mac computer?

The easiest way is to use an IMAP mail account exclusively. Stay away from "On My Mac" mailboxes/folders and POP3 accounts.

Sent emails not syncing

My email acount is set up via IMAP. The inbox is syncing perfectly, but the sent emails isn't syncing. How can I fix this?

Have you correctly set up the email account as per your providers settings as incoming and outgoing emails use different ports and some use SSL

How Do I Sync All Email Accounts and Mailboxes (including those I create)?

How do I Sync all email accounts in the OSX Mail Application and mailboxes(including those I have created), all using the .mac sync application . . . or is there a better way to sync information from my powerbook to my imac?
The problem: I am reading and sorting/organizing my emails on my powerbook when traveling, and then I come home to my imac and end up having to manually duplicate the work I just completed. Any easy way of truly syncing the information between computers? Pleae let me know. Thanks
What is meant by mailbox structures? For example: On my powerbook, I have 2 unread messages in one of my IMAP email accounts. I read both messages. I choose to move message A to a client mailbox that I created in the OSX Mail APPL and the other message B I leave as read in the inbox & respond with a sent email . Now I use the .mac sync app on the powerbook. Then I use the .mac sync app on my imac . . . . will the application not sync the same information/sorting/organizing/sent responces into the appropriate mailboxes? I'm so confused.
Also, what "mailboxes behavior" & "advanced" preferences should be checked with IMAP email accounts. All sorts of misc. mailboxes keep being created in the OSX Mail APP. when choosing different preferences. When selecting store on server (mailboxes created indicate: stored locally on computer). Again very confused.

The benefit of using an IMAP is keeping server stored messages synchronized when accessing the account with an email client such as the Mail.app on different Macs.
Messages in the Inbox mailbox for an IMAP type account are stored on the server by default which cannot be turned off.
With an IMAP type account, you can also store Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk messages on the server which is available under the Mailbox Behaviors tab for the account preferences.
If you want to keep Sent messages synchronized with Mail on both Macs, you need to select "Store sent messages on the server" under the Mailbox Behaviors tab for the account preferences in Mail on both Macs.
I choose to move message A to a client mailbox that I created
in the OSX Mail APPL and the other message B I leave as read in
the inbox & respond with a sent email . Now I use the .mac
sync app on the powerbook. Then I use the .mac sync app on
my imac . . . . will the application not sync the same information
/sorting/organizing/sent responces into the appropriate mailboxes?
I'm so confused.
Was this client mailbox created as an "On My Mac" location mailbox? If so, an "On My Mac" location mailbox is stored locally on the hard drive, not on the server so messages moved to such a mailbox will not be kept synchronized with Mail on both Macs. Transferring a message from the account's Inbox mailbox or from any server stored mailbox to an "On My Mac" location mailbox stores the transferred message locally on the hard drive and removes the message from the server at the same time.
When creating a mailbox, the default location is "On My Mac" which is stored locally on the hard drive. If you are accessing an IMAP type account, you can select the IMAP account via the location selection which will create the mailbox on the server and be available in Mail on the other Mac. Messages placed in a server stored mailbox will be kept synchronized with Mail on both Macs.

i need to know how to save my sent emails addresses on my iPhone 3GS is seems to erase or not store them after the ios7 upgrade ??

Check Settings > General > Restrictions, and check out Contacts toward the bottom under the privacy restrictions.
That sounds like the probable cause you cannot add contacts.
Regarding the iCloud behavior, that sounds like it got huge (35,000) because of incorporating other contacts (from social media, perhaps). Also contacts sync has nothing to do with iCloud behavior. The whole idea of keeping your contacts in the cloud is that once you change them on one device, they change everywhere. Specific syncs are not relevant.

2 MACs - Can I use .mac to sync POP emails from MAIL when traveling

I use Yahoo Business (POP) email with the MAC MAIL software. I use a PowerBook G4 at home and just got a new iBook G4 for travel. I want to set up the travel computer and MAIL to receive and send mail while on the road. 2 Questions:
1) In a perfect world: I want to sync the emails (both sent and received) I worked with on the road with my home computer so I don't have to re-do the work I just did on the road. Can I use .mac to sync my mailbox folders before downloading the messages at home or will this corrupt the library file and make me rebuild my folders every time? I know I can set up the MAIL account to leave the received message on the server for my home computer to download, but this causes a lot more work!
2) If (1) is not possible, how can I capture the files I sent on the road to my home computer SENT folder? I save all sent messages at home.

Via the .Mac website, you can have .Mac check the POP account's incoming mail server to download received messages from the POP account to your .Mac account's Inbox mailbox.
In the interim, send a change of email address to all contacts providing your .Mac email address and start sending messages with your .Mac account.
When creating a .Mac account in Mail - Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk messages are stored on the server by default along with received messages. If you want to keep all these mailboxes/messages synchronized with Mail on both Macs, make sure these settings for the account are the same with Mail on both Macs.

WHY SENT EMAILS ARE NOT IN SENT ITEMS???

Hi, I've troubles with my brand new c6 that my business company just gave me.
the problem is that after two days of use, the phone stopped storing sent emails, and this is a real problem for me. tried with a hard and deep reset, but after a day or two still have the same situation. no matters which account i use, business pop3, gmail, others... sent items simply don't exist in folder.
any advice??
thnx a lot

ok...so to clarify...
you are using pop3 for your email.
the items that you send are not being stored on your handset
the items that you send are being stored on your server, so if you check your company email, it is showing up there?
i would recomend that you set up your email as an IMAP4. it works like exchange, only it doesnt sync contacts/calendar.
if you were using a blackberry, then it was most likely using the bes service which was probably doing the same thing.

Sent emails are missing from Thunderbird following migration from alternative email client and import of emails

All sent emails are missing from the Thunderbird 'Sent' folder following import, but Sent folder still shows a count of the imported emails (Thunderbird considered them to be unread when importing them, hence the count). The messages are also visible online (BT Internet email) and on other devices (Android running BlueMail). Settings are set to place copies of sent items into Sent folder. Having imported all my old email, I can send email but again they do not appear in the Sent folder (but do appear online and on other devices). I have tried compacting the Sent folder and i have tried repairing the folder. All other folders (Inbox, other newly created folders) show the email i have imported.
If I move an email online from the Sent folder to another test folder, it syncs and appears in Thunderbird in that test folder. If I then use Thunderbird to move the email back from that test folder to the Sent folder then Thunderbird will do so, but locks up for a good minute or so while doing that.
Running TB 24.6.0 on Windows 8.1, incoming server set to IMAP on mail.btinternet.com (port 993), outgoing server set to SMTP on mail.btinternet.com (port 465).
Help gratefully received!

Cheers for that, Mulder.
It did seem to recover some emails which had disappeared from Mail, but not all of them. That's the frustrating thing - short of going through my Yahoo webmail accounts and logging every single email, and then cross-referencing with what's on my desktop, I just can't be sure what's there and what's not!
Sometimes it's immediately clear that something is awry - the folder I use for emails from my girlfriend is completely empty, for instance, when I definitely had things in there before the weekend. (Yes, again I went away for the weekend, with the computer still running - and Mail on - and again I returned to discover emails missing.
Arrgh!
