Windows 10: Windows 10 Mail issues, missing sent items.

Hi,


I am hoping someone can help.


I have just gotten a new computer and I am trying to set up the Windows 10 Mail account. I have managed to get my current emails coming into the inbox but when I open the Sent Items there is nothing in there. On my old laptop I have 139 on my new laptop 0.


Is there anyway I can fix this, I have looked at multiple google pages, forum posts and nothing seems to answer my question, highly frustrating.


Thanks in advance.

:)

 

Issue with Mail app Sent Items

Using the default Mail app, I checked my 'Sent Items' and all mails since the start of the month show as sent but the date / time they were sent shows as: 'Sending...' when first clicked on, then that changes to: 'Still working on it..' after 60 seconds or so.

Older Sent Items show OK, everything up to the start of this month has the time / date the mail was sent. I've contacted some of the mail recipients and most have received the emails, one or two haven't but I can't tell from checking Mail > Sent Items.

I've deleted and recreated the accounts in the Mail app but same issue, mail looks to have sent but shows 'Still working on it...' for the date / time is was sent

 

Windows 10 Mail - Sent Items vanish

Hi,

The issue you're experiencing could be due to incorrect settings. We suggest checking how sent items are viewed in the Mail app. Go to the
Sent items folder, access the current view, and then select
Show all messages.

If sent items are still missing, we suggest removing your account from the Mail app, and then add back your account using an advanced setup. Make sure to set the email server to IMAP. Here is an
article on how to set up your account in Mail for your reference.

Let us know how it turns out.

 

Sent items in Windows 10

I have had the same issue with sent items since moving to Windows 10. When I send an e-mail using the Win 10 built in application on my PC, the e-mail briefly appears in sent items, then disappears. It is also listed in all mail along with all my notifications
etc

I am using my Gmail account and the e-mail appears there (in sent items) .

So, some questions:-

So, is the Sent Mail folder like the Outbox in Outlook? Stuff is only there while being sent or if there is a issue with sending?

If I get a reply to the e-mail it appears in my Gmail account (in Win 10 and Gmail)

Where is the "sent" e-mail stored after it is sent but before it gets replied to? It is there somewhere since I can see it I All Mail

If I click All Mail, how do I know which folder any particular e-mail is stored in?

Thanks
