No folder "Sent" for e-mail in Windows Live Mail IMAP accounts

Looks like some other people have this problem, but could not find a clear solution. Basically, I just installed Windows Live Mail and I am trying to Setup IMAP accounts. I had a POP account that worked well and my IMAP accounts send and receive emails fine. The problem is that there is no other folders outside the Inbox for my IMAP accounts. When I go to IMAP folder, I can turn on the drafts, junk, sent, and trash. But these files are placed in the Inbox folder and after sending an email, I still haven't the email placed in the "sent" folder. What happens here? I cannot figure out how move the drafts, junk, sent, and trash folders so that they are side by side with the Inbox and not less.

solved the problem. No matter who has the same problem, how fix it you is by selecting any e-mail account you want to change, go to properties, then IMAP. Once you're done IMAP your folder "Inbox" root and check off "check for new messages in all folders. Then also check 'special folders Store on the IMAP server. The most important step is to make sure that all the names that you can change are correct and match the names of the folders under your e-mail account. By example, if by default to send it says "Sent items" move to "sent". Do this for every file and it will automatically correct the problem.

  • Mac OS Sierra mail IMAP account attachments

    Hello

    Since I upgraded to Sierra, IMAP e-mail account set up on mac mail does not work how it should. For some weird reason, number of mails in my Inbox attachments disappeared and I can't find them. I can see the attachment on my IOS mail, but not Sierra mail. Can you please help?

    Thank you

    Hi krmshn,

    I understand that after upgrading to Mac OS Sierra, you can't view attachments you receive via your IMAP e-mail account. I know it's important to have access to all your files, so I'm happy to help you.

    It is possible that during the upgrade, your IMAP mailbox has been corrupted and prevents you to view these attachments. To resolve this problem, we will rebuild your mailbox.

    To rebuild your mailbox:

    1. Open mail
    2. Select the mailbox in the sidebar to the left
    3. Use the Mail menu bar and choose BALL > rebuild. This will take some time depending on the number and size of messages in the Inbox mailbox.

    Thank you for using communities Support from Apple. See you soon!

  • Problem: Sent mail is not in the correct folder in Windows Live Mail.

    I installed Windows Live Mail on XP this weekend and imported all my mail to outlook 2003.

    I have two accounts, both using IMAP and both with sent folders. There is also a generic sent folder below, as a catch-all folder and is where to send the elements of these two accounts are current.

    Is there a way to make sure that sent items go in the right folder sent for each account? I ticked the box: "save a copy of sent... items. "in the tools of-> Options-> Send.

  • Ask for information about Windows Live Mail

    So far I have not found any position of forum for Windows Live Mail or Windows Live Essentials, so I would appreciate greatly any redirect that no care to offer. Now that Outlook Express is gone and my MS Office does not have Outlook, I would like to Explorer Windows Live Mail. Everything I have read about this does not explain where WLM. If it resides on my system, then all is good. However, it seems to be a cloud based system. The cloud concerns me. Currently I use Hotmail, Gmail and Yahoo Mail for personal mail, insensitive, but every time you start a trove of pirate of the sensitive data media makes difficult hot in the cloud so sensitive. If anyone know if WLM is base of the clouds? All of the comments, that everything would care to share will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, K.

  • BIG problems with Windows Live Mail

    I am running Windows Live Mail on Windows 7 Professional to access my AOL email accounts, which are on a basis of IMAP.  I use a laptop brand new have a 1 TB HDD and 8 GB of RAM, so the size and speed are not a problem.  The first annoying problem I have is that whenever I close by Mail, I get a message saying that it is the purge of records.  Five seconds later, I get an error message from the server is offline, so the work has not ended.  Then, I need to close the windows.

    Secondly, when I reply to messages, sometimes it takes 5 to 10 seconds or more for the wheel stops.  If there is an attachment to the original email, the message that I send doesn't go away, even after they are sent, which makes me wonder if it was sent.  There are also an excessively long time to delete messages.

    I've used several other e-mail programs in recent years, including Outlook Express and have never encountered problems in using the same accounts AOL and format.  Are there changes I need to do, or are these problems known glitches between Windows Live Mail and an AOL IMAP account?

    1. the presentation of Softpedia pick the ' shortcut is at least 6 or 7 versions there is (and has been removed from the program there are at least 5 versions)-ignore
    2. the google image search is a mixture of old and some showing the latest version of civil (2009), which he has had 3 improvements. The most recent is WLM 14.8089.0726. To determine if you have the latest version on the top menu, click on help/topic/Microsoft Windows Live Mail
    -If you do not see the menu, press the Alt key - it is used to toggle.  The menu can be disabled permanently by clicking the square to the left of the "question mark" at the top right. Scroll down and select the Menu display.
    3. do you intend to post in the Windows Live Mail Desktop using WLM newsgroup... If so, we can say your version by message properties. If you continue to post via the web interface, we cannot... so the earlier suggestions to use the discussion group showing the ability of WLM.  Knowing the version of WLM can make a difference in the problem and the answer.
    4. the configuration for the "purge" messages associated with an IMAP account can be found in WLM on its "Maintenance" tab
    Tools/Options/Advanced/maintenance
    What are your settings for the two elements of "Purge" (Deleted messages) and Newsgroup?  Consider uncheck both
    5 other things you should consider doing (temporarily) in WLM to rule out any automatic handshake between the AOL IMAP server and WLM
    -Uncheck the send and receive Messages at startup; Uncheck the check Messages every x minutes (Tools/Options/general tab)
    -Uncheck all options on the tab connection (Tools/Options/connections) and click on stop signing if the button/option is present.
    -Uncheck "use deleted items folder for IMAP (Tools/Options/Advanced) accounts - this option has been know to interfere with the"Purge"for AOL accounts"
    -Set the counter to 1 (Tools/Options/Advanced/Maintenance tab) - compact the database during shutdown.  Make sure that you are in e-mail mode, then take it out by file/Work Offline / file / exit.  WLM should encourage compact... agree and don't interrupt. Once that is done, open WLM, file/work online and repeat the test.
    6 turn off email scanning in you client Antivirus and other applications (additional, firewall security software etc it email scanning is done)
    7. If you are connected via cable or a DSL connection set up Internet Explorer (or other browser never establish a connection.
    -If you do not use IE, please specify which browser.

    Report any success of failure after doing the above (you can try them both, or test each incrementally.

    It would be much appreciated if you could communicate the results in a new message using WLM as your news reader in Windows Live Mail Desktop forum
