Accessing emails stored on iPhone 4
Is there a way I can view emails that I sent from my iPhone 4 that were stored on my iPhone (instead of my Sent folder)?
iPhone 4, iOS 5.1.1
Check the 'All Mail' folder. That one is for sent and recieved

I have an 'All Inboxes' folder but I do not see an 'All Mail' folder anywhere?
Sorry I assumed too much. For Gmail 'All Mail' would be the place to look. What mail sevice are you working with and I'll try to further help?
I have email through a web hosting service, setup as IMAP.
If you set it up as IMAP then the sent items will be identical on the phone and your computer.
I have my iPhone setup now to store sent emails in the Sent folder, however, I was previously storing sent emails on my iPhone. Those are the emails I am trying to access so I can forward them to the server. Any ideas?
Just go to the sent folder on your phone and move them to the sent folder on the server. You probably have two sent folders. One will be in the top like pictured here and the other will be down in the server side listed below (Gmail in the picture below) Instead of goint into all Mailboxes scroll down to the bottom and select the mail from the accounts section instead of the inboxes section.
I do have 2 sent folders, however, there is nothing in the Sent folder on the server side?
Then just move the messages from the other folder into the sent folder on the server side. Then both will be updated.
Actually, both of my sent folders are on the server. How do I access the Sent folder on my iPhone. That was where I was storing all my sent emails. I can't find it anywhere.
Unless you created another folder for sent emails and were putting them there manually then I don't know where you would have put them.
The default is for emails to go to the iPhone Sent Folder.. The trouble is, there is no way to access the folder if you have more than one email account set up!
Hi True Vine
Did you ever solve this problem?? I am having the same one, and just cant find my send emails that were saved on my iPhone...
SumiP,
If I remember right, I was not able to retrieve my sent emails that were stored on my iPhone. However, I use a web host for email so they were stored on their server.
As far as I can tell, those messages are gone. Sorry.
