Viewing Sent Messages

Hello,
I'm having a problem viewing sent messages...I get this message when I click on any message in the sent mail:
The message from...concerning “<Unknown subject>” has not been downloaded from the server. You need to take this account online in order to download it.
any ideas for me?
g5 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

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.

This is going to be easy! Just log in http://vz.to/1e948q1, click on "Send and Manage Messages from the My Device section that appears when hovering your mouse over "My Verizon" next to "Support" at the top. Please know that iMessages will not show up in our records as they use data instead of texts.

I would be curious, saraho_vzw, is your answer only valid if you have Verizon Messages installed/activated on the iPhone 6?

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.

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.

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:

Strange issue with imap and a blank empty sent messages folder

So here is a weird one. I got a new computer last week, Mac mini core duo. Set everything up, synced my .Mac and it set up mail. I have been using mail, i try to view Sent Messages for one of my IMAP accounts which should have 10,200 messsages in it. I see nothing. On rebuild mailbox it goes blank. Some messages I send are stored until i rebuild mailbox and it again is empty. On my other Macs (powerbook 12" and dual G4) I am still able to view and manipulate this same accounts Sent Messages. One webmail everything still works as well. While trying to copy old messages down to the Powerbook to archive them I noticed that it was very slow, and messages which were not cached already caused the Copy to fail. I am using Courier IMAP with Maildirs and Postfix on FreeBSD as a server.

my IMAP server uses INBOX as its root.. hence that folder only contains...

Is there a way to view the messages I sent along with files in Adobe Send?

Is there a way to view the messages I sent along with files in Adobe Send?

Too bad...I wish that feature was still there that was in SendNow...I also have to go and get the recipients email each time I send a file instead of Send remembering the email addresses I have sent to in the past.
Are any of the great features of SendNow going to be brought over into Send? Or are they just gone...I am a paying CC user...just curious what's going on at Adobe...Thanks for your very quick response though...I guess my message content is gone.

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.

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.

View sent text messages

Does anybody have a clue as to how to view a sent text message on I-phone.
thanks

All recieved and sent text messages with each person or number are grouped together by each person or number - in a conversation format used with IM clients.
All sent messages in a conversation or by each person or number have a green background. All recieved messages have a gray background.

Can't find view menu, can't access any sent messages. Really stinks.

It really stinks can't access my sent messages. Please, put View Menu back where it was. View Menu made easy for user like me who have little computer knowledge. What you did really sucks bigtime.

This is how Thunderbird works.
When you get it it has no menu bar.
<img alt="" src="https://support.cdn.mozilla.net/media/uploads/images/2014-08-09-17-05-10-29035c.png">
Pressing Alt or F10 make he following happen
<img alt="" src="https://support.cdn.mozilla.net/media/uploads/images/2014-08-09-17-05-18-8c6d27.png">
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
<img alt="" src="https://support.cdn.mozilla.net/media/uploads/images/2014-08-09-17-05-27-ee88ac.png">
When you hover over it another fly out menu appears
<img alt="" src="https://support.cdn.mozilla.net/media/uploads/images/2014-08-09-17-05-35-f7edbb.png">
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.
<img alt="" src="https://support.cdn.mozilla.net/media/uploads/images/2014-08-09-17-15-41-49cd6f.png">
Now that there are pictures, do any of these methods work, or do we need to look deeper into your installation.

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:
Overstuffed mailbox is unexpectedly empty
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.
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 using 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. This is actually a FAQ in that forum.

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.
List the package content file names and size of each here.
