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 confused

Hey 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.

  • 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.

  • My pc under Win 8.1. The system was asked to scan the hard drive (c). Once this is completed all the files in the sent folder went. Help!

    Run on a Dell PC (Win 8.1) for the last year or two. So far have had no problems with Thunderbird (latest version) until today (04/04/2015). For some unknown reason, my PC "action center" has suggested I should scan the 'C' drive for potential problems. It is worth noting that I was not aware of any problem of system before this message and I have no idea what were potential problems. Then, like a rooky with computers, I followed the rules and scanned the drive as suggested.

    The analysis took about 20 minutes to complete, followed by a normal startup. Everything was fine, except when I open Thunderbird Email, I observed that all messages/files (an estimated 1000) in the sent folder had been removed. All other Email TB cases appear normal and I can send new Emails and receive same OK.

    A test Email has worked with the file/message sent goes in the sent folder.

    Anyway, is allowing to recover the loss of files/messages sent and why the sweep of the 'C' drive would create this problem?

    Please provide the procedures to recover even at your earliest.

    Kind regards

    You will need to ask Microsoft make their software, is not something that one can guess at, a local technician could perhaps look at and advise you. But what we suggest here is guess and guess.

  • Sent messages appear twice in the "Sent" folder

    Whenever I'm using Thunderbird 38.1 on Windows 10 to send a message, the message is saved twice in the "Sent" folder I don't have an account with Thunderbird. If I delete this message, the single message sent is displayed twice in the folder "deleted".

    Also, is it possible for me to get rid of the files the? I never got a message in them, and I see no need of them. If they are useful, can I at least integrate with records above them, which contain all messages on my email account?

    1. it is indeed a problem with outlook.com.

    Simply right-click on the account in the folders pane and select settings.
    Copies and records say Thunderbird does not make a copy of the mail sent anywhere.

    2. that depends on your account is IMAP or pop.

    • If it's POP, you can combine

    In the account settings > server settings > select advanced use global inbox instead of the Inbox for this account.
    Note in this case to any mail account records in local folders first that account records will be more visible after the change.

    • If IMAP is all I can suggest use unified folders view. This is the view (alt + V) menu > folders > unified.

    Local folders are local storage. In the case of an IMAP account, it is very important. Move messages to local folders removes the mail from the server, so you can archive mail on your computer you want is no longer online. You can also use local folders to make copies of important mail if you have two chances to lose.

  • right pointing the orange arrow next to sent the message in the sent folder

    I sent an email to my son and myself as well. The message was sent, but it never happened in my Inbox. I always do and my message is well received.

    On this occasion, I never received the message. There is a right pointing the orange arrow next to the sent message in the sent folder. I assumed that it was sent, but I didn't get the message in my Inbox.

    The message was delivered to the e-mail address of my son?

    What is going on?

    Thank you

  • How to synchronize the sent folder

    I have Thunderbird on multiple computers. I find that the sent folder is only synchronized with messages sent from this computer.

  • How to make a copy of the sent IMAP messages when the sent folder file cannot be found?

    My Thunderbird works fine. I also see messages in the "sent" folder but I wonder are only registered in the IMAP server messages. For the backup application, I would like to copy the file from the "sent" folder but I can't find a local file for this.

    In home/me/.thunderbird/44g5fxvp.default/ImapMail/mail. .fi [mymail] I have files

    Templates.MSF

    Subscribed IMAP folders accounts configured to synchronize and place a copy of the folder on the server in the profile of mail, but this issue is constantly updated to match the server, so if you have new messages then these changes are made to the server folder and the folder on your computer is updated to match the server folder. Or if you delete mail from your copy then it will update the server. Then synchronized files are constantly changed and updated.
    Moving while copy/move, it stops the activity on files synchronized and enables offline that get you a copy to anywhere else you want.
    Less chance of something going wrong.
    then go back to online mode.

    I knew that some people have problems with copy/move emails in online mode that are offline.

    Easy way to go 'offline and online.
    To go offline:
    Click 2 bluescreen icon located in the bottom left of the status bar.

    To go online again:
