I have an iPhone SE running iOS 10.1. I have a POP (yes, POP) Gmail account. I have deleted and re-added my Gmail account to my phone. I have restarted my phone. I can see the sent messages in the Sent mailbox at Gmail using Safari on my Mac.
Can anyone tell me what to do?
Thank you.
iPhone SE, iOS 10.0.2
Thank you Shag. I have my gmail account set up as POP on my Mac (Thunderbird), so I was certain that it would automatically be POP on my phone. I didn't know the account could be accessed using IMAP. I set up the account manually (as POP) on my phone. Now I have a Sent mailbox.
Once you have deleted a POP account from the phone, it will delete the Sent folder. The sent folder will be recreated again as soon as you send an email from the iPhone. The only mail that will be contained in that folder is the one you just sent. POP mail only exists on the device. Mail is not synced from anywhere else. Sent mail is saved on the local the device. The only difference would be if you have mail set to not delete from the server, your inbox would populate again after adding the account back to the phone, but nothing else.
Did you send them out from the iPhone SE Mail app? If you did and all sent email show up in your webmail Sent folder, you have an IMAP account (not POP account as you claimed earlier). Check your Settings - Mail, Contacts, Calendar. Tap your gmail account - Advanced. Make sure the Sent folder is checked.
Have you tried sending an email? Does Sent folder show up after sending 1 email?
Yes. Have sent numerous messages. Can see them at my Gmail account via Safari.
Thank you.
Where is my Sent Mailbox?
