Why are messages in Sent Folder marked as Junk?

I have a new Intel iMac with Safari 2.0.3. A few days ago I noticed that all the messages in the Sent Folder are marked as Junk with the brown color band at the top and the message saying "You have marked this messages as Junk." I have no rules in place to cause this and my incoming mail is filtered using the Advanced feature. I have no idea why mail I have composed and sent would be marked at all, much less as junk. Any help is solving this would be appreciated. Also, I noticed a lot of postings about mail in Sent Folders being lost. I wonder if that mail was marked as Junk first, like mine, and then moved into the Trash based on a rule to throw junk mail away. I have no rules to move junk mail to the trash.

I'm also having the same issue. I think there's a correlation between whether or not a message is auto-saved as a Draft and whether or not it shows up as UNREAD in your Sent folder. For instance, if I write a quick message (~10 seconds) and send, then is has not had time to be auto-saved as a Draft and does not show up as UNREAD in the Sent folder. However, if I leave a new message open long enough (~2 minutes or more) then it has auto-saved in the Drafts folder, where it has received a UNREAD marking. Then, when I send the item, it is moved to the Sent folder, but retains the UNREAD marking.
Does anyone see this correlation on their system?

    Hey joshuafromisr,
    If you resintall iTunes, it should fix the issue. The following document will go over how to remove iTunes fully and then reinstall. Depending on what version of Windows you're running you'll either follow the directions here:

  • Rule Forwarded Messages are NOT in Sent folder

    I have several rules which filter & automatically forward messages elsewhere. The forward works most of the time BUT it does not appear in my Sent folder. Any insight or help would be appreciated...

    Thanks for that hint. Unfortunately I was not so lucky as you were. Also when trashing the .plist only the mac.com account remains in the account list after restart of Apple Mail. All other accounts need to be reinstalled
    Still Mail does not store the mails in the sent folder. Need to say:
    - the "non-storing" is random, not all sent mails are affected. Sometime it is OK, sometimes not
    - Not only the Mac account is affected, it can happen also on my office accounts.
    I am happy for further hints

  • All messages in sent folder are gone! :(

    Hi there,
    All messages in the "Sent" folder in the Mail application are gone!
    I had around 2,000 messages, some with large attachments.
    Did "Mail" just deleted them?!
    Could I somehow recover the lost messages?
    Please help if you know anything about this unfortunate incident...
    Thanks!

    You have adequate free hard drive space - with a 74.5 GB HD capacity, you should keep no less than 7.5 - 8 GB free.
    What is the overall size of the Mail folder?
    The Mail.app alone requires the same amount of free hard drive space as the overall size of the Mail folder for general housekeeping purposes during use. If you don't have adequate free hard drive space, application preference files can become corrupt or be lost and data loss can also occur.
    Each email client has limits and with Jaguar/Panther Mail, you shouldn't allow a mailbox to exceed 1GB in size and with Tiger Mail, 2GB.
    Better to utilize user created "On My Mac" mailboxes to sort received and sent messages by category not deleted that you need to save once a month or so. I've been using the Mail.app exclusively since Jaguar was introduced, thru Panther and now Tiger and I've never experienced the same. Before upgrading to Tiger, I didn't allow a mailbox to exceed 500 MB or so and I use the Rebuild Mailbox function on the most active mailboxes on a regular basis - once a month or every couple of weeks depending on activity.
    I also use SuperDuper to maintain a bootable clone of my hard drive saved to an external Firewire drive.
    Also, you wrote "When a mailbox has an "overstuffed" mailbox issue
    which means the mailbox is corrupt, a good number of messages are
    incorrectly stored in another and/or other package files. "
    -where should I start looking ?
    There is no other place to look. The other package content files for this mailbox have no significant size.

  • Why are messages in Mail continuing to be saved in Drafts after they are sent?

    Hi Friends,
    Messages that i do not indicate to be saved as a draft are being saved in my Drafts folder long after they've been sent. when i notice that 8 or 10 messages are in the Drafts folder, i then search in my Sent folder to be sure my email(s) was/were sent. and sure enough, they were sent successfully. yet there the copies are, sitting in my Drafts folder as well. any one else with this peculiarity or perhaps the solution?
    many thanks!

    Hi Paul,
    thank you. you know, i did find that on my own but problem is, when i deselect that option, then none of my messages is saved as a draft even when i want it to be. the option to save as draft is gone. and i do, actually, begin messages for certain business things and songwriting, wish to save as drafts, then reopen, edit and complete and send later.
    so unfortunately it doesn't help me to deselect that option.
    and then still... messages i have no need or intention for saving as drafts are also saved. just randomly, but often enough that it's a strange pattern.
    thanks again!
    beth

  • Why are messages being marked as junk when I have the addresses in my Contacts list?

    Almost all incoming messages are marked as junk in two of my accounts. I have 3 other mail accounts without this problem and work normally.
    I've added the address to my contacts list and turned off or deleted all junk filters and options. I've rebuilt the Global index and none of this has helped. A few messages have gone directly to my junk folders for these accounts but mostly they stay in the Inbox.
    I'm sure its probably someplace in my profile but I don't know what it could be or how to find out.

    Thanks.

    All they seem to do is furnish the software you can download for Windows OS only. I'm using Mac. They may have something that filters their local email accounts but I've never set up the email account I have with them in Thunderbird. I'll check that account and see if there are any filters..
    I have 3 different email accounts set up, two for 2 websites and gmail. One of the website accounts works just fine. The others have the problem.

  • Why are not my sent emails in the SENT folder?

    I use to have my sent emails posted in my Sent folder but not anymore. Why?

    Two things you can try.
    Try rebuilding the mailbox. This can take awhile if you have a lot of mail.

    Try re-indexing the mailbox. This can take awhile if you have a lot of mail.

  • I have set up 4 email accounts. Two are gmail and they show only old messages in sent folder - even when messages have been sent from this ipad.

    I tried deleting and re-entering the accounts, but problem with sent folder still occurs

    I found this in another discussion in the box on the right >>>>> More like this.
    Substitute whatever your email account's name is where it states Comcast and see if this helps. The settings would be the same on an IPad as on an iPhone.
    Go into Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>and select the Comcast account. From there look at the Outgoing Mail Server. It shoudl list the Comcast SMTP server. Touch that button and it will take you to another settings page for SMTP. It will show you the Primary SMTP server along with other SMTP servers. If the gmail server is listed there, then you can touch on it and turn it off. That should take care of it. The iPhone will try and use the SMTP server you have listed for a particular mail account, however, if that server is unavailable, it will take the next one on the SMTP list until it gets to one it can use.

  • Can't read messages in sent folder

    We can't read any messages in the sent folder. The window only shows the following message:
    +The message from Nicki Frech <[email protected]> concerning “test” has not been downloaded from the server. You need to take this account online in order to download it.+
    We cannot see what settings to change so that the sent messages are available on the computer. Many thanks for any help!

    Have a look in Mail > Preferences > Accounts, Special Mailboxes tab at Sent, and see what it reports for, +Erase copies of sent messages when:+
    If it is a short period like one day, or on quitting Mail, then they may be erased accordingly.
    You could set it to never to keep them permanently.

What are the SMTP settings for the APEX instance?

  • Mail won't automatically apply rules to messages in "sent" folder

    The title says it all. Is this a bug? Mail lets you set rules for items in the "sent" folder, but apple won't automatically apply the rules like it will for all other mail. You must highlight your "sent" messages and click "apply rules." This is quite annoying. Am I missing something.
    Thanks,
    Jake

    Once you send an e-mail it gets time stamped, from what I know this timestamp can't be modified. I too have received e-mails with the wrong timestamp. In some mail clients such as Yahoo Mail and Gmail what will happen is that you will get a new message notification but the email won't be at the top of the inbox but rather somewhere down the list. This happens as e-mails are sorted by their timestamps when they arrive to your inbox.
    Hope this helps!

  • Messages in sent folder cannot be accessed

    Hello
    on one of our machines messages in the sent folder cannot be accessed, we get a message which says the message is unavailable since it has not been downloaded from the server - or something like that!
    It's just started happening and is very annoying. It now seems to be affecting all the sent emails from that account. The account is POP so the sent messages should be sotred on the machine, not on the server in any case, no?
    Can anyone shed some light??
    Thanks

  • Duplicate messages in sent folder in hotmail

    I am suing hotmail account on Mac/ apple Email.  All messages sent from hotmail account are shown in duplicate in Sent folder.
    Its frustrating to delete these messages as I have a habit of keeping Sent folder empty after transferring the required messages to my folders.

    You could try the advice in the page I linked, under "Corrupted Folders". If Thunderbird is in its safe mode, are the messages still missing? Some extensions can cause problems.

    How often do you compact your folders? You should be doing that frequently. Try the advice above first.
