Why can't I see mail I sent from my iPhone on any other device?

I've had a mac.com email address for many years now, on my iPhone and my Mac (running Lion now).
Here's the problem -- when I check INBOXES from device to device the contents are always the same (i.e. synced), but this is not so with SENT mail. It appears only on the device from which I sent it. This is very annoying since I run my business from this account and need access to my communications wherever I am.
Gmail of course provides full sync of sent messages by default, and this works perfectly from my iPhone, desktop, etc. The same is true for other cloud-based email services like Hotmail etc. It seems strange to me that Apple mail would be the one service not to provide sync of sent mail.
Why aren't the SENT messages synced? Can anybody help me configure it?
(Thanks in advance for your help.)

I'm assuming the account is setup as an iCloud email address under the iCloud settings?
On your phone:  Try looking in settings >> iCloud >> account >> mail >> advanced >> sent mailbox.  Is there a check in the on my iPhone section or the server section?  You want the server.
I'm not on my mac at the moment, so I can't say off the top of my head where to look on your Mac.  But maybe mail menu >> preferences >> accounts >> mailbox behaviors?

    Why can't I see the iTunes store on my iPhone 5c?

    Well then it is somewhere on one of your Home pages or in a Folder:
    Do a spotlight search to see if it accidently got moved into a Folder: Swipe down in the center of the screen to bring up the Spotlight search and type in iTunes. If it is in a folder, the folder name will show up to the right.
    If it is not in a folder, but shows up on the Spotlight search, then you need to look at each Home screen to see if you can find where it got moved to.
    Finally, you can go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout, which will reorganize all of your icons so that the original Apple core apps are on the first Home screen as they were originally. Of course, if you have a lot of app icons that you have set up on specific Home screens you would have to move them all back to where you wanted them. But that should put the iTunes icon back on the first Home screen.

    Welcome to Apple Communities
    You don't need to install iTunes for the purchase history. You can see it in your iPad (iTunes > Purchased), but you need to install it if you want the order numbers

  • Why can't I see all my "Sent" messages in webmail?

    I've gone to My Settings/Mail/Save Sent Messages numerous times and have selected the radio button "save".  Yet, when I go to look at my sent mail in webmail I can only see some of the sent messages.  I think it may be the ones sent via webmail and does not include messages sent from my verizon email account hard-wired at home (DSL).  I'm using Windows Mail on a Vista computer.
    How can I configure my account to see ALL sent messages when using webmail?
    Thanks
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Any mail you send from a pop3 client will not appear in your webmail Sent folder. If you want all of your sent messages to appear in webmail, then you have to send all of your messages from webmail.

  • Why can't I send group text messages on my Iphone 3GS any longer?

    I have been sending and receiving group text messages on my iphone 3GS for awhile and all of a sudden I am receiving "Message Send Failure" error messages when I try to send a group message.  I think I still get group messages but you can no longer see that it is a group message and who the group members are.  I turned the Group setting off and then back on in Settings and turned the phone off and back on with no improvement.

    Make sure your account is provisioned for messaging/texting.
    Also, Settings > Messages > MMS Messaging > On

    I haven't yet set up iCloud and want to know if there is a choice about what gets pushed to all other devices. I want everything except text messages from iPhone sent to my other devices. Is this possible?

    How did it get sent? Normally you would receive files from others by e-mail, though PDFs have to be properly encoded when sent by e-mail.
