Unable to view sent mail content

Has anybody had the problem of not being able to view sent mail content in the sent mailbox? When a message is selected from list, the message "The message from XXXXXXX <[email protected]> concerning “title” has not been downloaded from the server. You need to take this account online in order to download it." when I try to view a sent message. This issue applies to all the sent messages in the sent mailbox, I can see a complete list of messages, just not the content?

If this is a POP account and you’re running Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther), as your profile indicates, you probably have the problem described here:
Overstuffed mailbox is unexpectedly empty
If you’re just starting to experience the problem, doing what the article suggests might work. If you’ve let the problem to become worse over time, however, it may be too late to solve it as described in the article.
Because of the differences between Mail 1.x and Mail 2.x, further discussing your problem here might confuse other users with apparently similar problems running Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger), so please start a new topic in the Mail & Address Book - Mac OS X 10.3 & earlier forum, or just look for other threads discussing the same problem there. This is actually a FAQ in that forum.

  • Unable to view sent mail

    When I try to view some (but not all) of my sent mail I get this message:
    The message from (User) concerning (Subject) has not been downloaded from the server. You need to take this account online in order to download it.
    The account in question IS online, and the message HAS been downloaded!
    Anybody got any ideas?

    Ed,
    Welcome to the Discussions.
    If you are running 10.3.9, as your Profile reports, then your Sent mailbox is most likely Overstuffed -- see:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=121837
    If you have upgraded to Tiger, but not updated your Profile, please inform us of that, as there will be another approach to solving the problem causing this message.
    Ask any questions, or advice, needed. It may be critical to know how large the mbox file in the Package of the Sent Messages.mbox actually is, since some could be large enough to require a different methodology to resolve.

  • Can't view Sent mail contents anymore

    I have been using Mail for about 1-1.2 years since getting this new computer, when all o fa sudden and for no apparent reason, Mail stopped allowing me to view my sent messages . Often times I will need to forward a sent message or resend a sent message, but can't now. When I click on a sent message it says, "The message from ...concerning..... has not been downloaded from the server. You need to take this account online in order to download it." I have a POP account if this helps identify the problem. Any help is appreciated!

    Hello and welcome to the Discussions.
    If you are running 10.3.9, as the info beneath your post reports? If so, you have an Overstuffed Mailbox, meaning it has become large enough to be a problem for Mail to properly index. Read the User Tip linked below, if this is the case, but post back immediately if you have upgraded from 10.3.9:

    How large is this mailbox when you check it?

  • Viewing Sent mail has no content, attachments missing in Lion

    Lion and Mail 5.0 . Some Windows computers are unable to view email body content. Also attachements don't appear eventhough they have uploaded and show the correct file size in the my sent mail folder.
    Sometimes an attachment shows up as a thumbnail only with no attachement file.  PostBox works fine with these problem Windows computers.. body of text displays properly and attachments show up properly.

    Have you set Edit/Attachments/Window friendly in Mail?  There have been some reports that it doesn't work, but it is working for me.

  • Cannot view sent mail

    Every time I send an email using MAIL 1.3, I am unable to view the mail I just sent in my SENT box.
    I get the message:
    The message from Billy Doherty <[email protected]> concerning “Re: Practice Website Ready For Review!” has not been downloaded from the server. You need to take this account online in order to download it.
    I have two accounts set up with MAIl and my vintage marketing account is the only one that I am unable to view the emails in the sent box.
    Mail using POP
    Thanks!
    Billy

    This error message indicates an "overstuffed" mailbox issue which means the account's Sent mailbox has some corruption.
    Quit Mail first and using the Finder, go to Home > Library > Mail > this account named folder (named by the user name and incoming mail server for the account) > Sent Messages.mbox.
    Move the Sent Messages.mbox to the Desktop.
    When re-launching Mail, a new Sent Messages.mbox will be created automatically by Mail within the account named folder when sending the next message with this account.
    This will allow the Mail.app to function properly again and not risk losing any new sent messages with this account while working on the old Sent Messages.mbox moved to the Desktop and hopefully recover all existing sent messages.
    Control-click on the old Sent Messages.mbox moved to the Desktop and at the menu window that appears, select Show Package Contents.
    List the package content file names and size of each here.
    This information is required to determine the next step to take to recover all messages.

  • I am unable to view the full content of various web pages after purchasing Advanced System Care Pro. I was using the free version before with no problems. I cannot figure out if or which setting was changed. Please help

    I am unable to view the full content of various web sites after purchasing Advanced System Care Pro. I was using the free version before with no problems. I cannot figure out if or which setting was changed. I tried doing a system restore but that did not work. I tried turning off all features of ASC pro but that did not work. Javascript is enabled. Please help.

    Many thanks.
    With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

    Unable to view external webcam content.  I'm using IE11 with Windows 7 64 bit.  I've tried deactivating Activex control, tried different browsers etc, tweeked the tools for trusted sites etc, but am totally stuck. I know the cams are working as i can view them on mobile phone via puffin browser.  I can play Youtube videos etc just fine. So why not the webcam?

    First, confirm that ActiveX Filtering is configured to allow Flash content:
    https://forums.adobe.com/thread/867968
    Internet Explorer 11 introduces a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers, and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the content provider changes their site to conform to the new development approach required by modern versions of IE.
    You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View:

    If that is too inconvenient, using Google Chrome may be a preferable alternative.

  • Why are security headers not visible when viewing "sent" mail for mail sent with S/MIME certificates?

    I am using an S/MIME certificate to sign my emails using Mail on Mountain Lion 10.8.2.  I have a trusted S/MIME certificate for each of my email accounts.  The certs and private keys are properly installed in the keychain.  I am able to successfully send signed (and optionality encrypted) email and the recipients are all all receiving the emails showing a trusted signed email without having to acknowledge or trust the signature.  So technically the certificates are working.  Obviously the encryption option is only offered when I also have the recipients certficate in my keychain.
    What I am noticing is that when I look in my sent items - (regardless of which email I used as the "sender") - I don't see any indication in the mail headers that the mail was sent with a signed certificate - even though I know the recipient is seeing that the mail is signed with a cert.  I have no way of telling whether I sent the mail as "signed" or "unsiged".  The default is to use the certificate for all outbound emails - unless I specifically uncheck the secure signing option before sending.  In mail that I recieve - sent from others with certs or sent from one of my email accounts to the other - I see the the certificate indication in the email header.
    On rare occasion - I do see the certificate when viewing sent mail - but only for  random sent mails - and so far I believe I have only seen the certificate show up in mail that is sent from my iCloud account.  I can send subsequent mail from iCloud - and still not see the certificate in the sent items.
    Why am I not seeing the Security Header showing the certificate when viewing mail that I have sent in my sent items folder?  Is there some setting that I am not seeing that controls this - or is this a bug in Mac Mail?  Also why does the security header show up for just a handful of sent emails - when hundreds of signed emails have been successfully sent.
    Any help would be appreciated.  The behavior is the same on my other Macs - at least the ones on which the certificates are also installed.
    Also - I don't have my certs installed on my iPhone yet - so I can't tell on the iPhone if the certs are showing up in the sent folder - but I can see the certs on mail that I send to myself from the Mac but receive on the iPhone.
    ~Scott

    I stopped using the S/MIME certs and stopped signing my emails.  Too many recipients were receiving them as "attachements" especially if the recipients email account was on an Exchange server.  My certs have since expired and I have not done anything to further analyze the situation.  My original post was over a year ago and I have long since been on Mavericks.
    To: iddontknowwhoiamsowhat ... I am not totally following your response.  You say you are seeing the exact same issue - yet you are also saying you can look at the sent mails from os x and ios - does this mean that you see the security badges on the sent emails in both os x and ios?  I assume you are on Mavericks?

  • Users are unable to view private mails of shared mailbox

    We are facing one issue here with shared mailbox ( helpdesk and servicedesk) . users are not able to view mails which marked as private to helpdesk ID
    Symptom:- users having full access to shared mailboxes are unable to view private mails received in shared mailbox.
    Product: Outlook 2010 SP2/ Outlook 2013

    Did you try the article I suggested?
    Essentially, the "owner" of the mailbox needs to grant "show all items, including Private, to my delegates".
    I think MSFT introduced this change (to honour the Private flags) in OL2010, and earlier versions did not respect the Private flags.
    (some customers want private to be properly private. other customers, don't want private to be private, if you know what I mean ;)

  • How to view sent mail on iPad mini?

    I can find my sent mail on my iPad mini. Where is it?

    Did you follow Chris's instructions? I think he nailed it.
    In that pane where you see your email accounts - Tap on Comcast - Under the Accounts heading which is below the list of InBoxes. That will take you to another view where the pane should look like the screenshot.

  • Unable to view sent message from one of my email accounts

    I have two email addresses from my email server. On one of the accounts, I am unable to view the text of the messages in the sent mailbox and I get the following message:
    The message from (my email address is shown here) concerning “Insurance” has not been downloaded from the server. You need to take this account online in order to download it.
    The server says there is nothing in my sent box on the server to download. I have selected the choice in the preferences area that says to delete messages from the server "right away" when they are downloaded.

    Patrick,
    If running Tiger, see:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=413196
    If running 10.3.9, as your Profile says, then you likely have an "Overstuffed" Sent mailbox. See the Topic at the following link, and the topic linked from within it:

  • Unable to view some ESPNFC content on Firefox Beta23, probably Flash/JS issue?

    SO I am unable to view some ESPNFC.com Content(And a few other websites which i do not recollect at the moment) when i click on any new links from home page(No Image displayed)
    It works just fine on Chrome and IE-10, I am on the Beta Update channel (Version 23) and have tried the following:
    -Updated all plugins / uninstalled and installed Flash and Java Plugins
    -Reset Firefox , Started with safemode,uninstalled, removed all plugins like Flashblock and AdBlock
    -Tried everything from here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-issues-with-plugins-fix-problems
    - Also tried a variety of options from Google including updating About:Config etc etc, nothing seems to work
    I can provide a list of all my plugins if that helps but since i have tried removing all plugins/add on's and it didnt work I do not know if that would be of any help.
    I would have loved to post some screenshots to show the exact nature of issue, nevertheless it would be gretaly appreciated if any one help..
    I am using Lenovo(Ideapad p400 Touch) windows 8 machine and have had this issue since first day i got the machine.

    Just adding some screenshots for the issue on Firefox and working verson of the same on Chrome.

    Also, this issue only happens to the stories on home page, website seems to work fine on other pages.
