Q: Where is my "Sent Mail" folder?

Not sure if this is a iPhone 4 thing or an iOS thing, but in Email, I can't find the sent mail folder, trash folder etc. Anyone have any idea if it's gone for good from the phone? I miss it!

MacBook, iPhone 4, iMac, iPad, iPod(s), Mac OS X (10.6.4)

A:

Oh...when you go into your "Mailboxes"...only the inbox mail shows up. You have to go down below that where it says "Accounts"...and that is where you will see your other folders..."Inbox", "Sent" and "Trash".

Fast forward to 2012 Iphone 4s & I had the same issue. NO Sent Mail! No Drafts! No Trash! for any of my IMAP email acounts. I'm a power user and was very happy with my samsng epic 4g until the screen died...so I gave iphone a shot. Nearly returned it. First Genius Bar guy was nice but couldn't find the answer. I went back and we solved the issue just now.
1. go to settings
2. then Mail
3. tap the imap acount
4. tap the Account email address in blue
5. scroll down to "Advanced"
6. tap drafts - (HERE's WHERE APPLE IS NUTS! ) it shows checked but you click it any way! hit accounts upper left Now it shows "ON MY IPHONE" sorry but where else woud it go?!
7. tap sent - same thing click it any way & hit accounts
8. tap trash - same thing click it any way & hit accounts
9**** hit "DONE" upper right or it will not save

Unreal that's it now I have Sent, Drafts and Trash all working.
This IPhone was 2 seconds away from getting returned to Sprint for the google nexus...still might!
Hope this helps and hope Apple gets this glitch solved.

That all works... But where are the sent messages from before I selected the IMAP sent folder?

I know it has been a while since this post, however I had the same issues and nothing helped me until I cam across this fix, thought I would share. It worked for me and I am finally able to see my sent messages!

To get my Sent folder to reappear, I selected a message in the Inbox of the account in question, went to Mailbox, selected "Move to Favorite Mailbox", and clicked on "Sent." My Sent folder for the account in question reappeared under the "Sent" category of the Mail sidebar, and Mail began downloading all of the messages in that folder.
