Viewing bcc names in sent mail

When I send an email with bcc's, sometimes my sent-mail shows the names and sometimes it does not. Why? How can I get it to show the names all the time? It doesn't seem to be dependent on the number of bcc's either. Thanks. I do have more than one email address but this issue seems independent of which address I'm using.

No, I guess you should check the duplicate post.

How to view recipient name in Sent mail folder

My Sent mail box on my hard drive shows my name rather than the recipient name. How do I change the settings to view the recipient name rather than mine (which is on all of them, of course)?

Hi Prashant
It is possible with a parameter change in SOST:
SOST_REC_CHANGE = X

Unable to view my BCC recipients in Sent Mail - please help!

I used BCC when sending mail to our alumni group (over 1000 members) about a month ago. I need to view the list of recipients in those e-mails from the BCC field - the problem is in my mail app I cannot view the BCC list for some reason in my sent mail folder.
- using latest version of leopard
- using IMAP
- can view to: and cc: but not bcc:
- tried to add bcc field to sent mail but it was grayed out.
Please help!

select that send message and go to view menu->message->raw source. see if the bcc is recorded there. if not that info was not saved and there is no way to get it now.

How to see bcc recipients in sent mail, AppleMail 5.3?

Cannot locate the list of hidden recipients under "sent" mail in Applemail 5.3. When I go to "View," and go to "message," there is no option that will call up the list of "bcc" recipients. How can I check a recipient list if one that I used when sending an email remains hidden?

Wish I could be king. But you described the problem perfectly and I am still but a pawn. All I can say is that I trashed the mail preferences (com.apple.mail.plist) on my Mac Mini, and now my MacBook seems to work right.
Sorry. :>) But that is the truth... The MacBook now has actually sometimes displayed pasted text in its actual, different, font and style as I paste it into a partially composed new mail message.
In other (more rational) words, the problem seems to be tied to pasting only certain types of text. I have not been able yet to pinpoint what. Yes, frustrating indeed. The only work-around has been to re-train my fingers to command-option-shift V, for "paste and match style" (like you, I do not want to always use only plain text). Maybe someone else will eventually weigh in with a real solution. The solution I want is just to be able to consistently see any font variations within my message before I send the email.
The info about the different ppi scales between Windows and Mac is interesting, although not relevant to this particular problem. It does explain the apparent overall size differences I have seen before.

BCC myself but sent mail not showing up in Mail

I have a BlackBerry. There is a setting where you can BCC an address for mail sent from the BlackBerry so you can have a copy of what you sent on your regular mail client. I've had this configured and it worked flawlessly with other POP3 mail clients I've used. Basically, the sent mail would be retrieved via POP3 as a regular message with the "from" and "to" fields intact. This is fine, and I don't care about being able to see "BCC" recipients. My problem is that Mail seems to be recognizing that the "from" address is the same as the "BCC" address and is getting rid of those messages for me, or ignoring them on the POP server. I thought of a few things, but none seem to be true -- My spam filter (SpamSieve) is not detecting the messages as spam. I also thought that perhaps Mail is doing something nifty like automatically moving the mail into sent folders. However, that's not true either. I also did a few different searches to see if my sent messages had come down somewhere and I was just missing them.
So now I'm stumped. Is Mail making decisions for me behind the scenes? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Bmoua,
What client did she use on the temporary computer? Outlook or outlook app or OWA?
If she used outlook, it may download the sent messages to the local pst.
In addition, I also recommend you use message tracking log to check if there are any messages had been sent out when she used temporary computer.

How do I see recipients name in sent mail folder in mails?

Hello
I just bought Mac book pro Retina with OS X , and I noticed that with all my different email address's in sent folder I am just seeing my name as sender instead of whom I am sending the emails! I would like to see receiver's name in sent folder rather than sender's name which is me!! Anyone know how do I change that? This sent folder is under four different email address, like gmails and yahoo's.
Also there is a Sent tab where you can see all the emails you sent from all your email accounts. Under that tab I do not see all my email that I have sent from my different email accounts.
Please let me know if anybody know how to fix that.
Thank you in advance !

When I send an email with bcc recipients, the bcc does not show in my sent mail so I can't reference back later who I sent the email to. Worked in Snow Leopard but not in Yosemite. Please advise if their is fix for that.

Did you select View->Bcc Address Field from the menu bar?

Bcc not shown in sent mail

Hi,
I've read some other topics on this issue, and it is a shame the discussion are closed and I must open a new one. However, here is the problem.
I often send mail to multiple receiver, and I prefer not to disclose the address of long lists or competitor suppliers. I send my mails using the Bcc field for the addresses.
Unfortunately, Mail does not show anything in the To field when the message is in the Sent (or any other) mailbox.
Someone says the reason is because this is a 'blind' mail. But the Bcc should be blind to the receivers, not to the sender (who - if in good mental shape - should know who is writing to).
Are there workarounds, scripts, extensions, fixing this beahvoir, that at the moment makes Mail a bit useless to me (how can I archive mails if I cannot see who I sent them to?)
Cheers, Paolo

BCC should show up as a header line in the message in your sent folder, whether your smtp gets upset with blank "To" fields or not. The copy of the message in the sent folder, according to the mail headers in raw messages in my sent folder, have no indication of having left my machine, i.e., no indication of having been touched by a smtp server anywhere (no "Received-From" header lines). Is any BCC data visible when you view raw message source (menubar View > Message > Raw Source)?
Since "BCC" is not "To", it is not going to display in the "To" column in the sent mail viewer pane and BCC is not a choice for viewablle columns in the viewer pane. You will probably have to do something like make the "To" field read Suppliers-1 <[email protected]> and Suppliers-2 <[email protected]>.
Or maybe you can make some smart mailboxes and use the "Filter Sent Messages" apple script that is part of the collection of the Mail Scripts collection by Andreas Amann. I have never used Mail Scripts so can't speak to its efficacy for various tasks, but if it is just identifying a rule (or set of rules), then in Mail Prefs Rules, I would think that you could create some rules based on the BCC field of messages in your sent folder. In Mail Prefs' Rules, select "edit header list" in the leftmost drop down menu and add Bcc as a field, then create the action to sort on the contents of the Bcc field and move complying messages to the applicable smart folder.

Bcc names do not appear on my "sent" copy, just blank

I volunteer for a non-profit group. Periodically I send email announcements of an event for the non-profit. I've got about 300 names in my Contacts (aka Address Book before I got LION). I've broken the 300 names into alphabetical sub-groups. For each email, I type the sub-group name in the Bcc field, and the names/addresses of the appropriate people appear. Then I send the email.
I go to my Sent email box and open one of the emails I sent to a Bcc list, and most of the time there are NO recipients mentioned. There's To: and a date, and that's it for the heading. This is really bad. The benefit of Bcc is that each person in the group receiving the email sees it addressed to him/her and doesn't see the names/addresses of any other recipients. So Bcc is kind to recipients. Meanwhile, it should show me, the sender, a complete list of the Bcc names so I can confirm the names to whom I've sent the message.
This all seems pretty basic, and it worked fine in Leopard and Panther. Lion is new to me (two weeks ago), and it seems a lot of regular Mac OS features are broken or unreliable.
I'm currently shopping for an alternative program to Apple Mail. Postbox 3? The Microsoft mailer application (Outlook? Something with "Out" in the name)?
I went to the Apple store for a one-to-one about this flaw, and they could not solve my problem. The tutor asked the Genius people for help, and they couldn't solve the problem. I want to send mail "blind" to recipients who do not get to see other names from the Bcc group. At the same time, I want to see the actual names/addresses so I can confirm that all my contacts have seen the message. Why has Lion killed this feature?

I stumbled on a solution to this problem, which was driving me crazy for the same reasons you mentioned. I have no idea why this works, but it does:
1) Open the message in your "Sent" folder.
2) Click the "Forward" icon.
3) The forwarded version of the message will show the full Bcc list.
I think this is a bug that somehow manages to fix the other bug.

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.

How do I display multiple recipients in the Sent Mail list view???

In the list of sent mails, only one name (the first recipient) shows up in the "to" column. I would like to show as many names as there is room for, and not have to open the message itself to see multiple intended recipients.
Other email clients do this as the default, but in Mail I just can't find the setting for how many names to display in that column.
Help!!!!

Terence,
Thanks for the information. Although this allowed me to open multiple windows, they are all show in a format too small (large thumb nails) to use. I'm looking for a way to do a "split-window" function where two windows are shown (at the same time) larger enough to move between the windows and perform functions such as copy, paste, edit, or drag data from one to the other.
Thanks

How to list the name of recipient in Sent mail folder

In the Gmail folder in Mail, is a Sent Mail folder. It lists FROM, SUBJECT, and DATE RECEIVED. My wife is the only account using the Mail appl. She would like to know how to have the name of the mail recipient listed, rather than her name as the sender since she already knows that info.
Thanks.
Jerry

Jerry,
That should happen automatically in Mail.
Click the Gmail Sent folder. Where the names of the columns is displayed, there should be a dot next to the first column name. Right-click or control-click to get the menu. Click to check To. If you don't want to see From bring up the menu again and click it to uncheck.
Done.

I find attachments to my sent mail which I didn't attached. I want to send you a 'print screen' example. The name of attachment only junk letters

There is an unfamiliar attachment to some of my sent mail that I didn't attached. The little icon is something like a printer with a Windows blue-blocks window on top of it. It attach itself only sometimes - I cannot really form a pattern about why this happens and want to know if it is a virus.
The name of the attachment is like: 'edghafbe' right next to the icon.
What is this?
Thank you

Please see the photo attached

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.
