View Adressee Sent Messages

Hi, using Apple Mail, I cant figure out how to view the Adressee in Sent Messages. What I see is the Sender and that is not of much use because it is Me. Who can tell me how to configure Mail so that I see the Addressee (and still sort by Date)? Thanks.

Are you using OSX Lion or Snow Leopard (OSX 10.7 or 10.6)?  You have posted your question in the Snow Leopard forum, but it seems like you may be using Lion???
Apple has seen fit to change the mail program in Lion.  I don't use Lion so I can't help you if you are.  You may want to repost your question on the Lion forum.
Mail's menu in Snow Leopard looks like this:
IMAP or POP - doesn't effect menu.

  • Off line viewing of sent messages stored in ICloud.

    I would like to store sent messages on the server but also keep a copy on my mac for offline usage.  Is this possible?

    Hi Peter
    No unfortunately I didn't find a solution. I think it's a problem of GMail because this happens also in the webmail of my google account. So Mail is not the problem.
    Other strange behaviour, my sent messages are duplicated in the draft box.
    I didn't have time to go to my account in line yet.
    I think the problem must be solved in your Gmail account on the web.
    I let you know if it can be resolved there

  • Connot view my sent messages

    I cannot open (read) any of my sent messages. Always get the following response:
    The message has not been downloaded from the server. You need to take this account online in order to download it.
    The account is online and have no problem sending and receiving email.
    G4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    This indicates an "overstuffed" mailbox issue which means the mailbox has approached or exceeded the recommended size limit or the mailbox has some corruption.
    The recommended mailbox size limit for Jaguar or Panther Mail is 1GB and for Tiger Mail, 2GB. This problem has been significantly reduced if not nearly eliminated with Tiger Mail.
    An "overstuffed" mailbox issue can occur at any mailbox size but is more likely to occur depending on the number and size of message attachments contained in a mailbox and especially as a mailbox approaches or exceedes the recommended size limit.
    Quit the Mail.app first and using the Finder go to Home > Library > Mail > this POP 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 while working on the old Sent Messages.mbox moved to the Desktop to recover the existing messages.
    Control-click on the old Sent Messages.mbox moved to the Desktop and at the menu window that appears, select Show Package Contents.

  • Sent messages only appear in the sent folder after restarting Thunderbird

    Hi, my problem is that sent messages do not appear in the sent folder unless I restart Thunderbird. I have the sent 'copies' box de-checked as if not although it syncs I end up with two copies (of sent messages).
    I am using Thunderbird 31.2.0 on OSX Yosemite connecting via IMAP to ZOHO mail with STARTTLS on 587 for SMTP.
    Hope you can advise, I've tried SSL/TLS on 465 also and it is the same. It's a bit of an inconvenience not being able to view the sent messages.
    Many thanks

    Interesting to know (the RFC violation) but as you say, perhaps not relevant as such, although if ZOHO wasn't auto-placing a copy in sent then I could check the 'place a copy in' option and it would work ok.
    Anyhow, I tried your recommendations and yes, I use both an Android and an iPad to also check my mail but with both disconnected from Wi-Fi the problem still persists. There are a few warnings being reported in the TB error console on the Mac but they just relate to 'mso-table-lspace' for my INBOX.
    And for info in Thunderbird on my Ubuntu laptop the problem is exactly the same -
    'Place a copy' checked - Messages instantly appear in the sent folder but there are two copies.
    'Place a copy' de-checked/Cached connections = 5 - Messages only appear in the sent folder after restarting Thunderbird
    'Place a copy' de-checked/Cached connections = 1 - Messages appear in the sent folder on clicking out of the folder and back in.
    On Ubuntu there is nothing at all in the error console.
    I can work with how things are at this stage as I don't live in the sent folder (rather the inbox), and when you click into it (with the connections cache at 1) the messages do appear, so I suppose that's actually ok.

  • No sent messages?

    I'm having a tough time figuring this one out. Basically, Mail works fine, except for the sent messages. Whenever I e-mail someone, then try to view that sent message in my "Sent" folder, I get the following message in the window:
    "The message from Cursor <[email protected]> concerning "subject" has not een downloaded from the server. You need to take this account online in order to download it."
    Now, I can recieve and send messages alright, and I can see the messages that I receive, but I cannot view my sent messages. Anyone know how to fix this (hopefully without having to reinstall the system)? I'm running 10.3.9 on an 800MHz G4 flat-panel iMac. Thanks in advance for any help.

    Hello, and welcome to the Discussions.
    If you are running 10.3.9, as you report, then you have an Overstuffed Sent messages mailbox. See:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1790039&#1790039
    Report what you find, and whether you can resolve with Rebuild, back in this Topic. There is a script that can be used to split such a mailbox, but easier if you can do without.

  • How to view the Adressee in Sent Messages

    I want to view all sent msgs(I have 3 accts) by date but also showing the "To" or "Addressee".  I am using Mountain Lion and it just shows me "from" which doesn't help me when I'm looking for a specific email to a specific person.  How do I set up the Sent folder to be viewed by date and showing who I sent it TO?
    I'm sure this is probably an easy one but I'm nopt finding the option as I look throuogh "the usual places;)

    First you have to be in Classic layout (with columns) if you're not already there. Mail Preferences - View - Use Classic Layout.
    Then, right-click (or ctrl-click) on the header of the right-hand panel - in the same space where you see "From", "Subject", etc. You'll see options to add columns. Click the "To" column to add it, and any others you want. You can now sort by these columns if you wish by clicking on the column header.

  • Forcing utf8 encoding on viewing sent messages

    Hi.
    I have forced Mail.app to send all my messages as UTF-8 by using the well-known command:
    defaults write com.apple.mail NSPreferredMailCharset "UTF-8"
    That's working fine and my messages are received and viewed as UTF-8. But in Leopard, Mail exhibits the following weirdness: say I get a mail which used English (or any Latin-based script), I reply to it using Cyrillic -- everything looks fine when I write it, and the person I reply to receives it without problems as UTF-8. But when I view my own sent mail, the Cyrillic portion comes out as mumbo jumbo. When I go to Message>View Encoding, no encoding is selected, not even Automatic. When I select UTF-8 there, the message is displayed properly.
    Now that's horrible, because it means that I have to fix every single sent message of mine if I want to view it properly. That can't be right.
    Is there a way to force Mail.app to use UTF-8 as default encoding for viewing messages?
    Thanks a lot.
    Tench

    The second one clearly says UTF-8 and that should normally make Mail show the text correctly. But the first one seems to indicate you are using some kind of special digital signature, and perhaps that is confusing the situation, causing Mail to apply Latin-1 or another default instead.
    I only added the digital signature yesterday and the problem is not related to it -- I had the same behavior before the digital signature. Mail.app is for some reason not displaying these messages as UTF-8 by default.
    I've narrowed it down a bit. If I get a UTF-8 encoded mail, and respond to it, there is absolutely no problem. But if I get a Central European charset=ISO-8859-2 mail and respond to it using Cyrillic, the mail is sent as UTF-8 (my forced default) but Mail.app gets confused when viewing my sent mail.
    My workaround now is to ask my correspondent to send me UTF-8 (you can force UTF-8 in gmail for instance), I just tested it with a friend and it works.
    I still find it strange that there is no way to force the viewing encoding the way one can force the outgoing mail encoding.
    Thanks for your help.

  • Is there any way i can let another iphone user view my recieved and sent messages?

    Is there any way i can let another iphone user view my recieved and sent messages?

    Of course. Just show them your phone screen, and let them browse through your messages - the same way you would do so yourself.

    This is how Thunderbird works.
    When you get it it has no menu bar.

    These key strokes and their results are not Thunderbird either. They are standard in your operating system. And most certainly in the case of the Windows 7 64bit both you and I are using.
    Airmail tells you to select a menu

    Yet you say this does not happen which indicates more wrong than just a missing menu.
    However there is vet another way to get a menu bar. You right click the toolbar between the Quickfilter Icon and the Menu Icon and select the menu bar from that menu.

  • Viewing Sent Messages

    Hello gtsb.
    You have the problem described here:
    Overstuffed mailbox is unexpectedly empty
    Because of the differences between Mail 1.x and Mail 2.x, if you’re using Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther), as your profile indicates, further discussing your problem here might confuse other users with 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. I or someone else will be able to better help you there.

  • Sent messages can't be viewed

    My sent messages all say, "The message from ... concerning ... has not been downloaded from the server. You need to take this account online in order to download it."
    When that first started, they would eventually appear. No longer, and now it has spread to all the messages in the Sent Mailbox. My laptop uses the same router, and does not have that problem.
    Can anyone help me?

    If you’re running Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther), as your profile indicates, you probably have the problem described here:

    If that’s the problem, however, at this point doing what the article suggests won’t work. You should have addressed the problem when it started to happen.

  • Cannot view SENT messages

    Had this problem 2 yrs. ago and can't remenber what I did to resolve it. I can see who I sent e-mail messages to, but the message itself does appear any longer. Instead I get this:
    "The message from Ben Shari <[email protected]> concerning “<Unknown subject>” has not been downloaded from the server. You need to take this account online in order to download it".
    Anyone know what it means? I have a feeling it has to do with removing messages from the server which I have done (I think) in Mail Preferences but the support folks at Cogeco, my service provider couldn't be of much use when it comes to MACs
    Any ideas please?

    You’re welcome.
    is there a way to save all messages in another folder before doing a rebuild?
    If you’re referring to the messages that don’t show up properly, no. You must fix the problem first, then move the messages wherever you want. Actually, it looks like you’ve kept storing sent messages in that mailbox without having completely fixed the problem first, which is a really bad idea, as it can only make it more difficult to recover the missing messages.
    Assuming this is a POP account, proceed as follows:
    1. Quit Mail.
    2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/POP-username@mailserver/.
    3. Locate Sent Messages.mbox and move it to the Desktop.
    4. Although Sent Messages.mbox appears as a file, it’s actually a special kind of folder (a package) that contains several files. Ctrl-Click on Sent Messages.mbox and choose Show Package Contents from the contextual menu that appears. Report the size of the mbox file contained in the mailbox package. Depending on the size of this file, Mail may or may not be able to import it in step 6.
    5. Open Mail. A new empty Sent Messages.mbox will automatically be created within the account folder, and this will let you continue using Mail normally.
    6. Do File > Import Mailboxes and follow the instructions to import the Sent Messages.mbox that’s on the Desktop. I’m not sure what the import options available in Mail 1.3 are, but you should choose Other / Standard mbox or something like that, so that Mail looks at the mbox file only (and Incomning_Mail, if present) and ignores the other files in the package.
    If Mail doesn’t let you select Sent Messages.mbox in step 5 because it’s a package instead of a plain folder, rename Sent Messages.mbox to just Sent Messages (i.e. remove the .mbox suffix) so that it becomes a normal folder, and try again.
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder, i.e. ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder.
