Sent items show twice on MAIL (IMAP)

Yes, but keep in mind that doing so will re-enable the "Store sent messages on the server" option! And if you have enabled the "Delete sent messages when" option then it would now result in deleting sent messages from the server! Please understand that I am suggesting a workaround that does not allow you to view your sent messages in the standard sent folder, however it will let you avoid duplicates if you set it up exactly as I mentioned (as shown below).

Not if you switch the setting from Delete when One Day Old, to Never.

Your suggested setup is incorrect. Folders should be correctly mapped, the fact that Outlook.com still doesn't work right for some people is Microsofts problem, one that they have had enough time to fix by now.

I am really impressed by your trolling skills!

It's besides the point whether my setup is "incorrect" according to you/Apple. The point is that in the interim until one of the companies steps up and caters to the other, I can still work productively without seeing duplicate Sent messages.

You seem to be very easy to impress

Do what you want, your problems don't affect me.

Futzak.

I am experiencing the exact same issue. What's the latest on this problem? Have you found a fix yet, besides unchecking the sent folder?

Microsoft's problem. Try here

What's with Csound1 being such a nuisance? Be productive or leave. Nit picking peoples posts to beat your chest when you ignore the spirit and intention of the post proves little. I'd never normally go to the trouble to post something like this but Csounds1 constant nagging is embarrassing.

Thanks for a possible workaround applicability which I may try if testing with another outgoing server gives grief.

Csound1, I agree that ideally Microsoft should fix it, but until then, what's your solution aside from ripping people down in the hope it makes you look correct?

If you have several email accounts, does the sent mail go to the one chosen account Sent folder, or do you need to do this for each account?

You need to map each account. Apple has an Inbox, Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk for each account.

Well that seems to be a definitive solution to the whole problem, yet has taken til now to surface! Thanks, soon as I get back from vacation that will be my first action. Hope the OP recognizes the solution despite the bickering.

I have the same problem. It seems that Mail is creating its own copy in the Sent folder, and Outlook.com is doing so as well, creating these duplicates.

This is a known issue over at Microsoft. At http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook_com/forum/oemail-oapps/duplicate-sent -emails-from-mac-mail-via-imap/f4f73bc1-84e0-4be8-8bbe-20e31ba301f4, they say the following:

Please be informed that we are aware of this issue and we are still investigating what is causing this issue.Rest assured that we have a high degree of urgency in addressing this issue as quickly as possible. They will post for an update once it has already been resolved.

Not clear where they will post the update.

The only solution I have seen which makes sense is to use a different SMTP server, not at Microsoft (neither outlook.com, nor live.com).

Using a different SMTP server is seen as relaying.

Explanation: 5.7.1 Unable to relay for <outgoing address>/ Relaying is prohibited

Relaying means that you are trying to send a message through a mail server without being logged in to that server, and the people who run the server have chosen to disallow that to prevent spammers from using the server.

Example. You have an account on Comcast and you also have an account via your domain hosted on pair.com. You cannot use the SMTP for your pair account to send via your ISP host Comcast. This is relaying. You can use your Comcast SMTP to send your pair mail.

I have to same issue. However, it is a Mail App issue in saving sent emails. When I go on the Outlook.com or iCloud.com, I see just one copy sent.. I guess that is better than annoying people with dup emails.

Can everybody stop getting duplicates!!

OK tried this, now instead of having two apparent copies in Mail, I now have one, but then really do have two copies in Outlook.com web side server.

So then I have to uncheck the Store Sent Messages on Server (like Csound1 said), but tthen I have no copies on the server.

So then I do your solution again then I get two copies again.... endless loop.

Sorry, not a solution that I can use.
