Thunderbird is doubling my outgoing (sent) email, why?

My sent folder displays duplicate outgoing email in Thunderbird with every message I send, why? How do I stop the duplicate email?

  • Thunderbird is duplicating my outgoing (sent) email, why?

    My sent folder displays duplicate outgoing email messages in Thunderbird, why? How do I correct the duplicate messages from happening?

    for some reason (copies/folders) place a copy in sent folder on under the account properties has to be switched off with hotmail accounts.
    strange as this is set on for my other accounts.

  • 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!

  • I had to refresh my computer, now after re-installing thunderbird, I only see my emails in my inbox, but not my sent emails or addresses.

    Hey there Thunderbird crew and family...
    First of all....well done on all your hard work, keep it up! I have been using Mozilla Thunderbird for a while now...and don't plan on stopping...it's amazing!
    Okay.....soo the problem....
    My laptop needed to be refreshed...as it was almost getting to the point of "the Blue Screen of Death"
    I had to re-install my Thunderbird with the 24.5.0 version... I am using Windows 8
    HOW....do I get my sent messages (which were saved in my sent folder in my previous version of thunderbird), as well as get my Addresses from my address book..?
    Ofcourse I don't have a saved or backed up file of the previous settings...messages....addresses etc....
    but I do see a "windows.old/users" file though.....and I've read many....many different Mozillazines.....as well as even tried to read - Restoring a profile backup / Restoring to a different location - But that required me having to locate a backed up profile.....which again..i wasn't able to back it up.
    I lost my software like Office and Adobe...however all my files and folders of pics...music....letters for work etc etc...have all be restored onto my desktop.
    I have looked through many pages of your forum but I haven't been able to find an answer.....
    Any help..??
    thanks, have a great day.
    Jason

    Hey hey Christ1
    I think we are getting closer to this thing being solved...
    The Update --
    I have all my Mail in One of my accounts (work)....but not all the Mail in the other account (aka my Music account).....
    Both I've set up again..using your advice...and changed both now to IMAP..
    Originally after refreshing my laptop, when I set up Thunderbird....I used the POP settings.....and that's when I messed it up.....
    but using IMAP now....I've gotten more of my old emails .....in my INBOX.....not all.....but most....YIPPIE
    My SENT emails....in my Music account.....have all disappeared.......I've looked in both sent folders...in POP...and IMAP....and nothing is there...
    However my sent folder of my work account...I have SOME of the sent emails...
    Address books....Collected and Personal folders.....I have NO Email Addresses at all.
    Sooo now even though I am getting confident we will solve it.....I still have 4 accounts....aka...2 Work (POP and IMAP).....2 Music (POP and IMAP) until you tell me to delete or change one from each.....
    BOTH IMAP accounts.....do not show new messages...when they come in....however the POP shows it.....I did read that If I deleted the POP to change to IMAP I will not be able to get emails.....sooo not sure what to do about that issue now....
    Is there an "automatic" backup feature for Thunderbird...?? All this could have been soo prevented if I did that....sheesh...
    anyway..thanks so far.... :)

  • Why my sent emails do not appear in Sent Folder?

    why my sent emails do not appear in Sent Folder?

    Are you using the Mail Ap which is apart of the Mac OS?
    Are you using an Email linked to the Mail AP, I.E. Gmail, Yahoo?
    I have noticed this issue with my Yahoo Account. Certain sent items will only be viewable on the device I sent the Email on. When I log in to my email from my Web Browser all sent mail is there. This is as far I know... I think there is something with Icloud in my suspicion will resolve this.

  • Why are not my sent emails in the SENT folder?

    I use to have my sent emails posted in my Sent folder but not anymore. Why?

    Two things you can try.
    Try rebuilding the mailbox. This can take awhile if you have a lot of mail.
    Rebuild mailbox
    Try re-indexing the mailbox. This can take awhile if you have a lot of mail.
    Reindex messages

  • Sometimes can't find a sent email in Lion - any idea why?

    Since upgrading to Lion I sometimes can't find a sent email.
    The pattern seems to be:
    1. It's with a Gmail account.
    2. I think it's when I reply more than once to the same mail.
    I want to look back over the mail and just don't see it anywhere within Mail. I know to whom the email is sent and I try looking for all mail sent to that person (even checking everywhere) and I can't find the very last email I sent.
    If I go into Gmail and look at All Mail I do see the mail there. And the person does receive the mail. It's just not showing up in my sent mail in my Mail app.
    Any idea why this might happen?
    Thanks,
    doug

    Hmm....
    I'm thinking now that maybe it could be cases where I sent the reply from my iPhone Mail app instead of my iMac Mail app...
    The email I was just talking about does show up on my iPhone Mail app, even without going into Gmail.

  • Why are sent emails not stored in the Sent Items folder in iOS7

    Why are sent emails not stored in the Sent Items folder?

    Thanks, Matt.
    I'm now starting to notice the emails that don't come in order are all posted from sites that use multiple platforms to send the same message; email, Facebook, Twitter, etc. so maybe that has something to do with it. I'm thinking the hold up is possibly at their end.

  • Sent email turns up in inbox on my laptop why

    sent emails from my iphone 4s have started appearing in my outlook express inbox on my laptop

    Does your MacBook have "Store sent messages on the server" set in your iCloud account? It should, if you want the iPhone to be able to see messages sent from the MacBook.

  • 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.
