• Why has my direct mail ceased to save to the sent items folder?

  A few days ago (28/01/12), my windows live mail has ceased to retain one of my sent items.  I can't find any option that might have been operated inadvertently.  Can anyone help?

  Thank you

  If you use the version of WLM 2011...
  Click the sent items folder > above, click View > custom views > under description of view #2, make sure that it is said to Show the message. If she hide the message, click on the word Hide and in the zone of the pop-up window, click Show the message > OK when finished.

  If you use the version of WLM 2009 > in my opinion, it goes like this > sent items folder > in the Gil, click View > click View Cureent > click Show all messages. (I use version 2011. Is not sure of the exact wording in the 2009 version).

• loss of the contents of the 'sent items' folder in windows mail

  Somehow all my emails sent in the 'sent items' folder of windows mail have been dumped. It's the second time that this has happened almost two years, I've been using vista. I checked to make sure that "show all messages" is accused in the "current view" for this folder. What could have caused this? These messages are recoverable? I often see messages sent from various pieces of information and would like to have them back.

  I suggest you go after that each file previous e-mail from the Windows directory where they are stored (and not only the sent items folder) and bring them into a separate file.  Then open with your e-mail program to access the sent items folder that it contained - but I now see that Windows Mail does save all emails in a file separated as it happens with Outlook using a PST file to store emails, but rather to the separate folderr, but I think they can be stored as .eml files as well as in folders so it is still possilble).  I read what follows in another post: "Windows Mail stores mail in files .eml, a file for each message, more more information about messages came together in a single file over (sorry, I don't remember his name)." I think that there is also a file for each folder. All these files are, by default, hidden - which means that you must activate the search for hidden and system files when looking for them. "I don't know for certain if this is accurate or if it will help, but it can mean that snapshots might work if you go after types of file using Windows Explorer and not Windows Mail.  But I think that one of the following products will work better (and faster) since some seem to be capable of managing entire folders at the same time.

  Here are a number of free file recovery programs that may be able to help you.  Try them in the suggested order.  For this you will need to at least know the name of the folder and perhaps file names (or least their extensions - although in some cases that is perhaps not necessary).  I am not sure if these will work with Windows Messaging files, but I think that it's worth it to check a few is:

  http://www.watchingthenet.com/recover-deleted-files-folders-in-Windows-with-free-undelete-utility.html (try this one first because it says it can recover entire folders and then you do not have to know the names of files)

  http://www.SnapFiles.com/freeware/system/fwdatarecovery.html (try Recuva second - it is the best for general file recovery and can also operate in this case).

  http://www.SnapFiles.com/get/DiskDigger.html (if you wan't to keep trying, try this next.)  If it doesn't work, the chances of the any of these work programmes is very thin but you can try as much as you want).

  Here is a commercial program which claims can be done, but it costs $99: http://www.diskinternals.com/mail-recovery/.

  Here's another commercial program that costs $69: http://www.vistafilerecovery.com/email-recovery.

  Here's another commercial program that costs $50: http://www.emailadept.com/Windows-Mail-Recovery.htm.

  Here's another commercial program that costs $40: http://www.tech-pro.net/windows-mail-recovery.html.

  I hope that one of the free programs can help, but if not, then I hope one of the commercial products helps if you want to spend money on recovery.  I don't recommend commercial products - I don't know any one of them and just offer them as an option.  Most include a free trial where you can see what you are able to get it back before you actually buy it so the risk in these cases is minimal - but I'm not entirely sure how they will interact with your system - once again, I only offer them upward in option and you should use them at your own risk.  Regiarding all of the 3rd party software, Microsoft does not recommend this product and you install and use at your own risk.

  Honestly, I hope that you are able to recover your lost emails using one of the above programs.

  Good luck!

• I don't see any mail in my "Sent items" folder

  I don't see any mails sent keep in my 'sent point' after I've upgraded to Windows Live mail 2011. Means that every mail I sent won't keep a copy in the sent items folder.

  I have no problem to follow-up my e-mail sent in 'sent point' before I did the upgrade. How can I turn on keep it in 'sent point '?

  Thank you.

• Windows Live Mail sent emails do not appear in the 'Sent items' folder

  original title: sent Mail not in the folder

  I've just set up Windows Live Mail on a new laptop using Windows 7 Outlook came not with my desktop software. Why don't emails I send appear in my folder "sent items"?

  Sorry to have troubled you - problem solved. To set up my new Windows Live Mail I thought I need to establish a Windows Live account, so I did. Is not familiar with the presentation of Windows Live Mail, I didn't know that there are two accounts on the left side and one has been expanded, the Windows Live Mail account. My Westnet email accounts has been listed but not developed. As soon as I expanded it here, he had the sent mail another folder which included my recently sent emails! Outside of embrrassed, glad it is resolved.

• Windows Mail, the content of the sent items folder disappear.

  I read on the page after page of windows answers but none that I found explain why this happens. I know I can find them on the HARD drive, but why is it happening? I have had this problem several times and would like to know what to do to prevent it.

  If its Norton or McAfee, you're in trouble, because they are not compatible.  If its something less invasive such as bases of safety of Microsoft, and then in the settings, make sure that you disable the eml files are analyzed as that can lead to incompatibilities between the database and what is actually in the message store.

• Why are there 2 copies of E-MAIL sent in the sent to thunderbird v 38.0.1 items folder? ISP added SOLVED the file

  When I send EMAILS there are 2 copies of all E-MAIL sent in the sent items folder. When I send an E-MAIL to me only 1 copy is received in my Inbox, so I guess that the recipients of email received my E-MAIL sent only receive 1 copy & not 2 copies of the sent e-mail message.

  Thank you.

  If your help gmail or hotmail (in it's many names), then your provider add sent mail as it passes through their system and Thunderbird is addin because it leaves.

  Menu (alt + T) tools > account settings > copies and folder and Thunderbird set to not save copies of sent mail

• Outlook express sending same email over and over again... keeps an email to outbok, looks like it may not be placed in "sent items"... Help

  Outlook express email

  Always there?

  Create a new Outbox and sent items folder.

  Follow these steps for the Outbox and sent items after you move the messages you want to save to a local folder that you create.

  Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.

  In Windows XP, Win2K & Win2K3 the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder Options icon | Opinion, or in Windows Explorer. Tools | Folder options | View.

  With OE closed, find the Outbox.dbx and Sent Items.dbx file and remove them. New files will be created automatically when you open OE.

  To avoid this in the future:

  Do not archive mail in the receipt or sent items box. Create your own user-defined folders and move messages you want to put in them. Empty the deleted items folder daily. Although the dbx files have a theoretical capacity of 2 GB, I recommend all a 300 MB max for less risk of corruption.

• synchronization of sent items very slow

  Running TB 31.2.0 OSX 10.9.5 against an imap outlook.com account.
  The Inbox and folders have all synchronized correctly, however, my sent items folder, that contains e-mails 2411 refuses to sync. It is tempting, but very, very slowly, about 1 email per 2/3 minutes. I tried to let it sync in a few days, but it seems to restore and start over. I tried to delete the index from the database - same problem. Curiously, the sent folder contains lots and lots of emails. The last email date 23/10/2014 and I think before that date are in the folder sent successfully.
  Any ideas please?

  You have a lot of emails in the "sent" folder.
  As you use IMAP these emails are stored on the server and it takes a lot of time just to synchronize their.

  As it's awkward - impossible to try to synchronize this folder, suggest you try it.

  A browser webmail account login.
  Create folders for example: sent 2013, 2014 sent to help organize and reduce the size of the file. They will be your archive of e-mails sent.
  Then move the emails as appropriate in these cases.

  You can then subscribe to view these folders in Thunderbird if you need to see these emails.
