Yahoo mail sent items confusion.

I'm confused with how yahoo mail is working and syncing between webmail/mac mail and ipad mail.
Inbox seems to work and sync fine.
However re sent items yahoo mail seems to have 2 folders - one titled 'sent' which is mac/ipad/webmail appears near the top and another titled 'sent messages' which appears as a folder.
Messages sent from the ipad/mac i think appear in the folder 'sent messages' but from the web in 'sent.
Why can't it just sync/work with one location for all sent items?
Can gmail work with just one sent items folder? if so i may well migrate!

I'm having the same problem, and the only help I ever seem to find suggested anywhere is "make sure its set up as an IMAP account"
BUT it is! Mail automaticly sets all yahoo accounts up as IMAP. So is this just a yahoo problem? Is there anyway to fix this?
For me the bigger issue isnt that I need to be able to check my e-mail through a web browser regulerly, but on my Iphone and Ipad the account, which is through the mail app, also dosnt show sent mail sent through the mac app.
I agree this makes mail on my mac totally usless.

  • On OSX 10.6.8 Mac Mail sent items do not show the Bcc field. Adjusting settings in mail/prefs/viewing/custom/bcc has no affect on Mail, ie Bcc still does not appear on sent items. Anyone got a fix?

Yet another example of Mac caring not a jot about the performance of versions of OS and software running on on older hardware. Anyone got a fix by any chance? Oh and fyi I need to see the Bcc in sent items to confirm sent email is attaching to Salesforece - when I see the Bcc I know I can delete it as a copy will be in SForce. Big thanks W.

  • Synchronise ios mail sent items with yahoo?

    I have got a new iMac and have my Yahoo email account synchronised with iOS Mail. The inboxes across my devices are the same but any emails sent from iOS mail do not appear on my Yahoo account or on my iPad or iPhone. Has anyone come across this before? Is there a solution to synchronise Sent Items?
    Thanks
    Alastair

    Ok I solved the problem for the benefit of anybody who might find this post and have a similar problem.
    The problem was I used windows mail and later windows live mail for years and they had created a lot of different folders which synced with my imap folders, my host default folders were as follows
    drafts
    inbox
    sent items
    spam
    trash
    other folders which appeared in some of my accounts depending on which mail programs I had used to access them were as follows
    deleted items
    deleted messages
    junk E-mail
    Notes
    sent
    sent messages
    1) I deleted my accounts from my mac and other devices such as my iphone in mac mail this is under
    Mail menu----preferences-----accounts  highlight the acount and press the minus button
    2) then I logged into my online mail account for my host, moved items from folders such as "sent" and "sentmessages" to my default "sent items" folder, they had been placed in these odd folders by various email clients and deleted those non default folders
    3) I then re set up those accounts in mac mail and highlighted the "sent items" folder in the left hand menu in each case and then went to the
    mailbox menu---- use this mailbox for-----sent
    4) then finally re synced my iPhone mail accounts, now it all works and my mail accounts are nice and clean
    hope this helps someone

  • Yahoo mail sent through Mail app do not appear when login into Yahoo mail

    Hi everybody,
    I have a problem that annoying me very much. I've used Yahoomail for very long before I bought a MBA. For the first time I use Mac OSX, I try to use Mac mail combine with my old Yahoo mail. Actually, I have done the config. But anything I do with my Yahoo mail through Mail app can't appear when I login into original Yahoo mail. For example: I sent a Yahoo mail through Mac mail, it's shown that the mail was sent sucessfully, but when I try to login into Yahoo mail on Web, the sent mail doesn't exist. And the same happen when I do the opposite: the mail I sent on Yahoo mail doesn't exist on Mac mail. It's a big trouble if I use other lap and try to contact with someone. So is there any solution can fix it?
    Many thanks

  • Mail Sent Items not Syncing with Rackspace Server

    Hi,
    My sent items are not fully syncing with my rackspace email account. Some items sent through Mail show up in the rackspace sent items and some do not. I am worried that emails are not being sent. Also, when replicating, Mail will show something like "outgoing messages 35 of 35", when I send a single email to a single individual. What is that all about?
    Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Hi All
    Just to add my solution in here. I was gaving the issue where all of my mail had synchronised, and all of my ical and all of addressbook. However, my sent mail folder was not syncing, and worse still, no new sent mail was being saved off in sent mail.
    Initially I thought it was a mailbox size thing, so I archived off the majority of my mail on another machine, deleted the sent mails, and then let the other machine sync with Exchange.
    However still the same issue on a tiny mailbox. After seeing this thread (pointed here by Apple Tech support - thanks Clement) i deleted all sent mails on another machine, jumped back onto mac mail.app and all was well.
    I still have a weird issue with delinquent emails in sent mail that wont delete, but I can live with that.
    I too wish that Apple would make a more robust mail application - Apple ProMail as part of the iwork suite anyone??

  • IPad and iPhone mail sent items does not synch with exchange 365

    This has been a longish term issue that vue ignored till now but...
    I run exchange 365 hosted service from Microsoft, own domain.
    It synchs all no issues with iPad and iPhone mail, contacts calendars etc all except sent items on mail.
    My last synced sent items mail is 2012.
    It tries to synch ie connecting etc, then fails, locking up mail synch for about an hour then on all folders.
    Just want to be able to see sent items stuff

    This was a user issue. The webmail account I have stored the Mails other folders under personal folders and there I found that my sent mail had been getting sync'd.
    The answer is on the server not the OS Mail

  • Apple mail - sent item duplicates

    I have two computers with osx 10.4 installed.
    Each has a unique imap account. Somehow, within the last few months some sent message (particularly ones with attachments) are duplicated in the sent items folder.
    I setup a rule that emails the person sending the email a copy of the same message. Sure enough, when an email is drafted and sent 'once' it occasionally sends twice to the recipient.
    This happens most often when an attachment is included with the email, but not always.
    Any ideas?
    I have rebuilt mailbox indexes and installed all current updates.

  • Yahoo mail sent from iPhone 4 that I did not send

    There have been two messages that show they were sent from my iPhone yahoo account (set up in the regular mailbox, not another application for email) that are links. Other than the link, it only says it is sent from iPhone. The message is not shown in my sent mail (like all other messages I send), and it gets sent to a few random recipients from my contact list (not the entire list).
    Is this a virus? Would it be coming from some application I have on the phone? Please help! I don't want to have my phone sending people random links!
    Thank you

    The problem is with your email provider. I suspect someone has hacked your account because  you use the same password for most of your online work. You should change your password and not use the same password for most of your on-line accounts, most  people are lazy and don't use different passwords because they can't remember them all. You should begin changing your passwords and using a password management tool to help you remember. If you need help choosing one Google "OS X Password Managers" to find some reviews.

  • How can I clear out old apple mail sent items?

    If I delete them, they just move over to mail trash. If I try to empty the trash it toggles the same mail back to the sent folder?

    Mail/Preferences/Accounts/Mailbox Behaviors - check to see if store sent messages on server is checked. You can also set a delete time there.

  • Sent Items folder is not available

    I am using Outlook 2010 and have configured my domains' email address as an account on the Outlook profile. On the left sidebar I see my email address listed as follows:
    > [email protected]
    Inbox
    Deleted Items
    Junk E-mail
    Sent Items
    I have configured my account to keep a copy of sent items. When I compose and email and send it I always get the "Sent Items folder is not available" message which I never got in Outlook 2003.
    However, as you can see above the Sent Items folder is listed! When I click on the Inbox node and select IMAP Folders I see that it is NOT subscribed to ANY folder. I press the Query button and select all folders (Inbox, Deleted, Junk, Sent) and press the
    Subscribe button. It doesn't produce any error message. I close that dialog and then reopen again to see my subscribed folders list and IT IS EMPTY!!!
    So why is it failing to subscribe to the Sent Items folder? This worked seamlessly in previous versions of Outlook, this "improvement" is obviously an anomalous behavior.
