Question

Apple Mail (10.7) Sent Emails...where are they

I have sent over 140 emails since August 3rd using OSX Lion and NONE, Yes NONE are showing in Apple Mail's "Sent" files.

As usual I went back to Outlook 2011 and all 142 sent emails are there.

What the heck is going on with Apple Mail??????

....Cannot search for anything

.....Cannot find sent emails

and more..

Hate to say that so far Outlook 2011 is MUCH better, but I hope that this is not true and someone can give us a reason why so far Apple Mail is a HUGE disappointment.

Thx Much

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7)

Thx Len,

Thought this might be my answer and just checked and "Never" is selected for this.

Wish mail was as good as advertised.

Campus Exchange server...

All works perfectly in looking for sent-seleted-inbox emails in Outlook 2001. Also much easier to search/find emails in Outlook 2011.

I am NOT promoting Outlook, I really, really want Apple Mail to be as good as all other Apple products, but so far it is at best a "JV" player compared to other Apple products.

Just tried to reply to one of our staff members and had to Quit as Apple Mail had no response to any commands except "Quit"

Something is terribly wrong with Apple Mail and hope the Apple gods are aware.

OK, then your Exchange Server most likely has a web interface, generally found at one of two addresses, mail.myexchangeserver.com/owa or mail.myexchangeserver.com/exchange, login there and see if the emails are in the exchange server sent box or whether Outlook has just squirreled them away locally (you checked Mails settings, what about Outlook?)

I have this problem with our exchange 2007 accounts. Since I installed Lion I noticed the sent folder didn't contain any of the exchange accounts, I carried on for a few days but the sent folders never appeared. So I deleted each of the four exchange accounts I use in my company and set them up again. Hurrah! the sent items appeared but after a few days they disappeared again. Here is my screen shot of the settings used, which by the way i havent changed.

Just to end I'd say that I like Mail in Lion but this bug? is making it unusable so I've moved to Outlook while it gets fixed.
