Can I recover sent emails from an iPhone 4s in my new iPhone 6

Outlook was POP for a number of years - they have recently made the switch to IMAP - so your 4S account could conceivably have been set up as POP

As for the exchange - that is strange - because the exchange accounts run off the server and your sent emails should be available unless you moved them out of the Sent Items box. I would at least check with the IT department at work on that one

Good luck -

When you are done with that - you may want to consider using an IMAP mail account with Active Sync this time around - so any future device transfers will still retain your emails on a central server

Both Google and Outlook.com offer such platforms for free if you are interested

Please let us know what happens -

Thanks

mmmmmm- the only way I can think to transfer those are the following:

1. Send them to your self as emails - so you have a record - not useful if there are several

2. Do a back up of the old phone to iTunes and then restore the new phone from that back up

CAUTION - you will lose the new sent emails since they are not in the back up

3. See if the email provider has an "ActiveSync" connection that will allow you to sync the Send Messages bucket on more than one device.

If you are able to access your email via a web browser, then you should be able to find your sent emails there. Check that to see. When you refer to Outlook, are you referring to the program or Outlook.com, being Microsoft's free email account? They are two completely different things.

Mail in Outlook the program, if accepting the defaults, should have created an Archive folder. You should find this in the folder list on left side of Outlook. If you were using a POP account, then mail sent by the phone is not synced to the folders in Outlook. This would change with an IMAP account, as explained earlier. The action you describe on the phone, where the only folder to come over from the backup being the Inbox, is POP action. The sent folder is device (actually mail client) specific. If you continue to use a POP account and want to see sent mail in both locations, you would need to set up your mail to default to sending a Bcc to yourself. That setting is available in the iPhone easily, you need to look a little closer to find it in Outlook.

I have this problem too. With a Comcast pop account, sent mail was "left behind" on the old iPhone 4S, and not copied over to the new iPhone 6.

So I get that the sent mail isn't synced on the server. My question is, if the old sent mail actually exists on the old iPhone, why can't iTunes Backup back it up and restore it? Sorry, this just doesn't make sense to me.
