Why doesn't my Sent mail show up in iCloud on my iPhone?

Why doesn't mail I have sent from a MacBook show u in the Sent folder of my iCloud account on my iPhone ? There isn't anything in the Sent folder on the phone. Aren't they supposed to sync?

Does your MacBook have "Store sent messages on the server" set in your iCloud account? It should, if you want the iPhone to be able to see messages sent from the MacBook.

Why doesn't the "sent" folder show shared emails of photos through iphoto? on iphoto?

Every time that I share photos from iphoto to friends/family through the share button//email option, I end up with no record of it in my email. Why not? Where would I see a record of what I have sent out to friends and family?

When you send from iPhoto you're using iPhoto as an Email client. It's a very basic one of those and has no sent box. Neither does it sync with your other Mail applications, so they have no way of knowing anything was sent. That's why.
Options: bcc yourself when you send from iPhoto. (There's an option to do that automatically in the Preferences) or use a different app. Mail, for instance, has a Sent box and many, many more templates than iPhoto. (Check out the Stationery feature)

Why doesn't email sent from iPhoto v9.4.3 show in my "Sent" mail?

1. Why doesn't email sent from iPhoto v9.4.3 show in my "Sent" mail?
2. Why does it always ask for a password before sending, when I'm already logged in?

If you are using the iPhoto email client there is no sent mail box
My suggestion is to set Mail as your email client and then you have everythin in Mail and have a sent mail box

Why doesn't notes in Mavericks show the notes i had on iCloud in mail in Mountain Lion?, why doesn't notes in Mavericks show the notes i had on iCloud in mail in Mountain Lion?

Why doesn't notes in Mavericks show the notes i had on iCloud in mail in Mountain Lion?, why doesn't notes in Mavericks show the notes i had on iCloud in mail in Mountain Lion?

Ask a fifth time, and maybe the answer will appear.
Are the notes actually in iCloud? If you go to iCloud.com and log in, do you see them there? If so, it's an issue on your computer side. If not, then the notes don't exist on the server.

Mail doesn't save sent mail on one of my email accounts.....

Mail doesn't save sent mail on one of my email accounts. I have several accounts, but on one of them it just doesn't save any mail I send. Is there a hidden setting I've missed somewhere? I did delete the account and then reset it, but it took out all of my emails to that address so I'm loathe to do that again!

I'm lucky enough to have two Macs running OS X 10.9 next to each other, both using the same network, and sharing a common Exchange mail server. My corporate machine (an first gen' Aluminium iMac) has both Outlook and Mail installed. My personal machine (a 13" MacBook Air) has only Mail installed.
Neither install of Mail is guarenteed to write sent messages to the Exchange Sent folder (it might happen, it might not). Both write perfectly to other common mail servers (e.g. GMail). Outlook writes perfectly to the Exchange server, but generally functions less effectively as a mail client than Apple Mail.
The failure to write to the Exchange server only happened after the upgrade.
It's quite frustrating.

MS exchange account on my iPhone and iPad doesn't capture sent mail when sent from iPhone or iPad! Everyting else seems to work fine. Can someone pleasse help?

MS exchange account on my iPhone and iPad doesn't capture sent mail when sent from iPhone or iPad! Everyting else seems to work fine. Can someone pleasse help?

iPhone and iPad use a different way of accessing the server.
I don't know the exact details, but we are using Zarafa instead of Exchange and have the same problem:
iPhone and the likes can connect to Zarafas z-push interface, which is some identical interface to the native Exchange interface, while the desktop e-mail application tries to interface with the web front end (via http) of the server.
These are completely different setups and it depends on the actual installation of the server to get this going.
So, you will most likely need different access parameters for the desktop - and the web mail feature has to be enabled on the Exchange server.
In my opinion using the web mail interface is just silly. On the other hand, the native protocol has less features comparedto the web front end, so you are somehow stuck with sins of the past.
Good luck!

Why doesn't the Add to Wish List icon appear on my iPhone 5? I have iOS 7...frustrating

If it's not a free item then you should get the 'add to wish list' icon via the share button - is it a free or paid-for item that you are looking at ?

HT4890 why doesn't a photo stream icon appear on iCloud although it's enabled

why doesn't a photo stream icon appear on icloud. It's been enabled in settings and iphoto?

Because it isn't supposed to.
Photostream is for sharing photos across your devices.

Why are my contacts and calendars showing up on my daughter's iphone after I updated? Help!

Why are my contacts and calendar showing up on my daughter's iphone after I updated? Is there anyway to remove them or stop
them from going directly to her phone? Help!!!! Thanks guys

So, am I to conclude from all this that the best thing for one iMac and multiple family devices (2 x iphones, 1 x itouch, 2 x ipods) is to set up itunes account for each family member. We don't use iCloud except for my (primary iphone)
We had similar problems to the above, and since the recent 6.0.1 update we've started getting each others texts, on top of my wife and I's contacts being replicated to our young son's itouch, and a seemingly random redistribution of apps.

A message is marked as unread - so why doesn't the Inbox count show it?

There is a message marked as unread (the little blue ball) in an IMAP account's inbox.
So why doesn't the Inbox show a (1) next to it to indicate there are unread messages?

Thanks for your replies, people.
I actually just created this IMAP account about a week ago.
Yesterday I deleted a separate, POP3 account and recreated it as IMAP. At that time everything got re-indexed (at least the activity window was going on forever about rebuilding and reindexing this and that).
Rebuilding from the Mail menu doesn't help.
I might try removing and re-adding the IMAP account or the entire re-index later if I find this behavior annoys me too much. Will that lose my replied-to indicators?
So anyway, what I am seeing is not normal? If you go to a message and mark it "unread" does your Inbox for that account go up by 1?
Thanks,

Can't save drafts, doesn't save sent mail thru imap account

I learned what an imap account was when I signed up for my .Mac account. I like the idea of sent mail being saved on the server and shared to all my computers. It saves duplication of effort between the two of us working here. So, I've recently had my web guy switch my old POP account to an imap account. But there's problems.
Whenever I begin composing an email to be sent through my new imap account, I get a message that says, "This email cannot be saved." I can compose and send the email through that account, I just can't save it to my draft folder. When I hit the "Save as Draft" button, it seems to try to save. The "Save as Draft" button goes gray for a couple of seconds but, afterward, I can't find any trace of a saved draft. There's not even a Draft "mailbox" or subfolder under the main "Drafts" heading. Also, once the letter is sent, it doesn't show up in a sent mail folder, I suppose because, again, there isn't a sent mail subfolder for that account.
My web guy showed me how in his Thunderbird mail preferences he's asked to choose a folder in which his drafts and sent mail will be saved. I can't find a question like that in the Mac Mail preferences. Even if I were asked where I want the mails to be saved, those folders would have to be on the imap server for the contents to be shared between computers, right?
Two side notes, there is an inbox for this imap account, just no "Sent" or "Draft" folders and second, I'm on OS X 10.4.10, Mac Mail Version 2.1 (752/752.2).
Anyway, does anyone have any idea what's going on and how it can be fixed?
TIA,
Peter

Yes! Brilliant! When I followed the first half of your instruction (this account requires INBOX to be typed in Preferences, etc.) the imap server did indeed create the draft folder and when I sent the email it created a sent mail folder. Just what I wanted! Thank you. I'm so grateful!
OK, now a couple more questions based on things that seem to have started happening as a result of following the first instruction.
Now, instead of not saving drafts, it's saving two, three or four. Just as an experiment, I tried writing a letter to be sent through Mac.com. As I wrote the letter a draft appeared in the proper draft folder. When I changed the subject or added a recipient, that draft was amended to reflect my changes. In the new imap draft folder a new draft was added each time I made a change. They all went away once I sent the message so I see that as a small problem.
Second, since I saw the draft and sent mail folders appear, the inbox for that account is acting oddly. The little whirling icon that appears when incoming messages are being checked shows up as expected next to each box (subfolder). In the case of the account where the changes were made, the whirling icon freezes and does not display the number of new messages until I actually click on that subfolder. One other little issue that might be related; mail that appears in the new imap inbox doesn't always appear in the overall inbox (atop all the subfolder inboxes). If I click on that inbox subfolder, the mail will appear.
Third question/comment, the second half of your email suggested that if I succeeded in getting email to "save messages on the server, but maybe in a mailbox different from where you want them to be. To fix that, select the desired folder in Mail and choose the appropriate option from Mailbox > Use This Mailbox For. " Although it seems to be saving in the right folders I looked at the "Use this mailbox for" command and the choices are grayed out no matter which mailbox I choose, whether it's a subfolder mailbox, a main mailbox or a mailbox folder I've created. I don't care but I'm curious. Is that odd?
Thanks so much for your help so far! This is just great!!!
