Why does one of my email accounts stopped storage of messages in the "sent" folder?
I have an iMac Apple OS x 10.8.5 and Thunderbird 24.5.0. The computer is configured for users of 2 - my wife and myself. I've set up for me with 3 e-mail accounts in Thunderbird, and my wife has 1 e-mail account. We use Thunderbird for several months without any major problems. All of a sudden today Outlook when my wife sent an e-mail via his account (Hotmail), it came with an error message saying that the message could not be sent. I have studied and found (by logging on Outlook) that the message had indeed been sent and showed upward in the Outlook sent folder, but not in the sent folder Thunderbird. After trying several messages test (with the same result), it is obvious that account Thunderbird to my wife is wrong to behave as described above. Then I tried my own account and was able to send emails using my Outlook account (Hotmail) normally. Messages have been saved in the "sent" folder as expected. I tried power off the computer and start again - no change - my installation of Thunderbird as it has done previously, but the installer of my wife no longer works as before.
It would seem therefore that the program itself is ok, but there is something wrong with the installation of my wife.
I have reviewed the content of both of our profile folders using Thunderbird's "Troubleshooting Information" to show each profile folder in the Finder.
When I drill down to the folders 'pop3.live.com', there is a difference between the content of these files. My "pop3.live.com" folder contains the files of document intended for "Drafts", "Inbox", "Sent", "Trash", etc... I can open and inspect the contents of these folders.
According to Finder "pop3.live.com" my wife folder contains Unix executable files rather than document files (they have all the names expected, just not the type of expected file and I can not open and inspect the contents of these folders).
This would explain the behavior described above and if so, how can it be solved? If this isn't the answer, can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks for the suggestion, Matt. Not long until I received your response, I have found a workaround. Compaction of all cases seems to have resolved.

There are a few ways depending on what is your ultimate goal.
- Open a new message window and drag it to the side a little. Click a message in the folder and Ctrl + A will highlight all. Drag them into the message body of the new messages, and they will all be committed.
- Create the folder on the desktop. Select all message headers, and then drag them to the desktop folder. The ZIP file and attach it.
Size matters when it comes to sending.

Why Windows Mail in Vista is not send copies of all messages in the sent folder?
I have my Windows Mail set up if all the messages that I send a copy automatically go to my sent folder. For some reason any only certain messages are sent to this file. What could be causing this and how can I solve this problem?
I don't know how to repair the database. It does not ask if I want compact everyonce in awhile and I answer yes then he does. I can not delete the account and add it again because I have too many messages inside both in files and not in the records.
What is a POP3 account? If Yes, you can certainly remove the account, restart and add it again. No messages will be lost.
With respect to the repair of the database, you download and install
WMUtil and then click on the button that says Repair Database. Simple. -

I've seen other people having this problem too and their problem solved by using the link "file repair". I tried this also - no effect...
It seems to be a pure display problem, as all emails are there, and when I click on a specific location where a specific e-mail was supposed to appear, I can open the e-mail OK. I have no insight of what is in my Inbox. When I keep my mouse on the account of the column in the left window, a little black watch too, with all the new messages being listed.
I don't have this problem with one of my email accounts has seven. All the others work fine, and this is also several weeks until what stopped it a few days ago.
Restarting the computer does not help.
I use Ubuntu 14.04 as the operating system.
Try this:
Select the Inbox that shows an invisible list.
Click the icon of choice of right column header and select 'Reset columns by default'.It worked?

Why the sent folder contains 2 copies of all messages from MacBookPro?
Why the sent folder contains 2 copies of all messages from MacBookPro?
Whenever I have send a message to my Mac Book Pro there is a duplicate in the sent folder. This does not happen with messages sent from the iPhone 6s or Outlook Web site. This happens only when I send a Hotmail.ca and not Gmail.com

Irritating confusedHey TaylorP56659,
I understand how to duplicate emails sent may irritate you, no worries however! I can help you to see if we can get this sorted out. So if it happens with your Hotmail account, try to check in Mail preferences, behaviors of the Hotmail account mailbox. It is possible that you have sent items save on the server that will allow the Mail application to have twice. This is because a local copy and the copy on the server downloaded is in the follow-up of the app the steps below to disable the registration of sent items on the server and will not happen. You can also check the Hotmail settings via webmail.
1. launch the Mail application
2 select email preferences from the Mail menu bar
3. click on the tab accounts
4. highlight your Hotmail account
5. click on behaviors of the ball
6. click on "store sent the Server Messages.
7 close the preferences of Mail and send a test message
You can see the other Preferences in the mailbox behaviors
The steps above should stop these form of duplicates to appear in your sent folder in app Mail thank you for using communities of Apple Support
Have a great day.
