Up until about 6 months ago, I could view email I had sent by going to the sent folder and clicking on a letter. Now it says I need to download it from the server. I've run into trouble using the help menu and it doesn't correct my problem. Below is a more indept look at the problem.
I'm still using OS10.3.9 (Tiger hasn't enough in it for me to upgrade). My mail is 1.3.11. My Mail help is version 2.0.7. here's what mine says;
?
Saving copies of email you send
Mail automatically saves copies of messages you send in the Sent mailbox. You can change how sent messages are stored, and you can have sent messages placed in a different mailbox. You can also have outgoing mail messages appear in your In box alongside new mail.
? To have messages in the Sent mailbox stored on your mail server (if you are using an IMAP mail account), choose Mail > Preferences and click Accounts. Select an account. Click Special Mailboxes, and select "Store sent messages on the server." If this option is not selected, sent messages are stored on your computer.
? To save copies of messages in a different mailbox, select the mailbox you want to use. Choose Mailbox > Use This Mailbox For > Sent.
However when I go to "Special Mailboxes" there is nowhere that it gives me a choice of storing sent messages. It has
"Sent Erase copies of sent messages when (I have never selected)
Junk Erase copies of junk mail
Trash Erase....."
So since I have selected never to erase, I should have them and always have had up till about 6 months ago. Below is what I see when I try to view a message that I sent; This one was titled cookie dough where I replied to one from my daughters teacher.
The message from ______ _____ <mycough@______.net> concerning “Re: Cookie Dough” has not been downloaded from the server. You need to take this account online in order to download it.
I have one other strange issue thats weird, when I am on finder and try to access Mac help it opens and then closes before I can type in a question. I found that by trying to solve my mail problem.
Any suggestions?? Thanks for responding and trying to assist.
