Unsent e mail and missing outbox?

I have recently upgraded to an I Phone 3GS 16GB, which is great, however i have the following problem with it. When i recently tried to send e mails, it said they couldn't be delivered and were being sent to the outbox. Sure enough they were in there when i checked, but now the outbox has disappeared from my mailboxes list. How do i get it back into my list. I called into my local Apple store (150 miles away) and all they could think of was to reset and start again, which seemed a bit drastic, and quite unhelpful. Anyone any ideas? Cheers John.

The Outbox is only visible when there are unsent messages in it. If there are messages in it, the phone will automatically try to send them at the next opportunity, and once they're sent the Outbox will disappear.
Check in your Sent folder to confirm that the emails are now there (they should be).

E-mail and missing attachments

have a weird one for you.
A friend from a neighboring state (who used to be a Mac user) owns an el Cheapo PC. He used to use AOL for his ISP, but he switched to Adelphia.
I've been sending him e-mails lately, and he says the ones I send to him with JPEG image attachments come through with the images okay. However, ones with PDF attachments are another matter. He says that messages I send to him with PDF attachments arrive with no attachments. He also says that when he checks an AIM account he has the same problem. He even forwarded the messages back to me and there are no attachments with them. Other people I send these messages to, including my mother and myself, have no problems.
I'm scratching my head on this one.

I have the same problem. Things worked fine for a while. I was able to see the body of the email plus the attachment. Even was able to open PDFs in iBooks. Now I only see the "Preview". I clock the particular email and I get a blank page with a header... plus no ability to see the attachment. This needs to be addressed in an update.
How did you reset your phone? Did you lose any content in the process?
Thanks

Mail and automator - create outbox?

I've just moved over from windows (yay!) and am using mail. I really miss the outbox feature of outlook - gives a delay to those composed messages that could benefit from another minute of thought... is there a way to set up automator to delay sending messages? I haven't used automator at all, so any advice is welcome!

Mail has a drafts mailbox which serves a similar purpose. after you compose an e-mail you can save it as a draft (click on "save as draft" in the toolbar) and it will sit in the drafts mailbox until such a time as you decide to send it out.
I don't know if it's possible to use automator to schedule future delivery of messages. The only method I know is by using [Mail scripts|http://homepage.mac.com/aamann/Mail_Scripts.html]. Warning: Mail scripts scheduling feature didn't work well for me when I tried it on some html formatted e-mails and e-mails with attachments.

Is there a setting or an app that shows e-mail notifications without having to unlock the screen...like SMS and missed calls?

Is there a setting or an app for the iPhone 4 that allows you to see that you have new mail messages from the "lock screen" like SMS and missed call messages? My primary e-mail account is MS Exchange and I'm running iOS 5. Thanks!

Saved and sorted/filed mail messages missing

Saved and sorted/filed mail messages missing
October's messages are still there but all other messages are no longer in the folders. I have a confirmations folder with all forum and newsletter info for the last year that is empty. Where do these messages go?
I do not believe that I have it set to empty or delete itself after a certain time.
I can probably find these messages from comcast/gmail but still am wondering about this issue.
Thank you.

Hi, sounds like a Save/Delete 1 month check in the box. I actually have a gmail account which gets sent a copy of every email from my other email accounts..Once each month I can Delete or Keep as I wish. Back Up....L

Internet/e-mail with Missing Sync and WM5

Hi,
Can anybody tell me if I would be able to use the Missing Sync with a WM5 device (XDA Mini S) to connect to the internet and download e-mail.
I don't want to stump up for it if it does not.
Cheers

Complicated two-part answer:
Part 1: The current release of the Missing Sync for Windows Mobile does not support Windows Mobile 5 devices like your XDA Mini S, but an early release alpha package—available for use only by registered users of the current release version—does support such devices.
Part 2: Because your XDA Mini S is a Pocket PC device—as opposed to a smartphone—the final release version of the Missing Sync for Windows Mobile will support sending and receiving electronic mail, and surfing the web. This feature will not be supported on Windows Mobile-based smartphones.

Mail Rules missing "mark as unread" and "mark as unflagged"

I'm adding some new rules in Mac Mail and just noticed that there is no option to "mark as unread" in my list. My friend has it coming up, but it isn't there for me.
When I click to add a new rule, the drop-down for Perform actions lists "delete", "mark as read" and "mark as flagged". I'm missing "mark as unread" and "mark as unflagged".
Why would I be missing those options?
Thanks,
Morton++

Mail rules doesn't offer these options which is why you don't have them. Your friend must be mistaken. and anyway since the rules are only applied to new messages there is no point in having the option to mark them as unread - they are unread already. You can add a rule to unflag messages using apple script but if I'm not mistaken all new messages are unflagged by default too so there is no point for this one either.

Mail sits in outbox and doesn't send

mail sits in outbox and doesn't send

remember there is both a mail Sender and a mail Receiver. Receiver setup information is easy to find, but Sender setup information is a little harder to find.
Use exactly the settings your ISP provided, or use this Apple Mail Setup Assistant. (rest assured, Apple does not use this to collect your email address.)
https://www.apple.com/support/mail-settings-lookup/
The easy-to-see info in Mail preferences is for your Mail Receiver. This corresponds to the top part of the box from the Apple site.
You need to use Connection Doctor and click on the red light to get easy access to the Mail Sender info. This corresponds to the bottom part of the box from the Apple site.

When trying to send photo or web link my email ends up in gmail outbox and I have to go into mail app open outbox and email and press send again and it will send without any trouble

Hello
I would be very grateful for any help with this problem. It is really annoying as I think the email has gone only finding it after days in the outbox. It sends fine from the outbox when I open mail and resend. It also works fine if I initiate email in the mail app but not when using link in photos or safari.

Taking the accounts offline was just the easiest way to reproduce the issue. I discovered the issue when a serverside configuration was preventing me from making a connection to the SMTP server, but the effect was the same -
I attempted to send multiple emails
The connection error prevented them from being sent so they were placed in the Outbox mailbox
I changed a configuration setting thinking it would fix the issue
Selected all messages in Outbox
Right-clicked and selected "Send"
Confirmed "Send"
Messages were removed from Outbox but not delivered and I cannot find where or if they were moved
I have been able to reproduce this by both taking the accont offline and misconfiguring my smtp settings. I did not anticipate the possibility that sending emails would be a destructive act.
