| Re: After I send mail my "sent" folder remains empty. How can I change it so I am able to see the mail I've sent?? | bkennelly | 12/2/09 3:27 PM | Same question. Are the sent messages in the Trash or All Mail? |
| Re: After I send mail my "sent" folder remains empty. How can I change it so I am able to see the mail I've sent?? | van | 12/5/09 3:58 AM | Same issue. I've been using gmail for a long time and I know "Sent items" used to be full. I think I can see all my Sent mail, by searching in "All mail" for messages sent by my email address. |
| Re: After I send mail my "sent" folder remains empty. How can I change it so I am able to see the mail I've sent?? | van | 12/9/09 7:54 AM | That's a good idea, but still why and when was this changed? I used to have a full "Sent Items" folder. All my sent messages would appear there automaticall. |

How can I change it so I am able to see the mail I've sent?? | Fo Shizzle | 12/9/09 7:56 AM | The messages you send go to "All Mail" You can create a filter to move them to your Sent Items folder.

| Re: After I send mail my "sent" folder remains empty. How can I change it so I am able to see the mail I've sent?? | van | 12/9/09 7:58 AM | I gather that, but they used to go to my "sent items" folder too, right? |
| Re: After I send mail my "sent" folder remains empty. How can I change it so I am able to see the mail I've sent?? | bkennelly | 12/9/09 9:20 AM | You cannot select Sent Mail, or any other system label from the drop-down menu. All your sent messages appear in Sent Mail automatically, and remain there until you delete them or their conversations. |
| Re: After I send mail my "sent" folder remains empty. How can I change it so I am able to see the mail I've sent?? | scobieo | 12/15/09 11:23 PM | Damn! I thought FOSHIZZLE had an answer, but bkennelly is right; you can't create a "sent mail" label. Does Gmail personnel never look into these problems. I've lost ALL my sent mail, and I'm seriously PO'd!! Also, no matter how I originate a missive |
| Re: After I send mail my "sent" folder remains empty. How can I change it so I am able to see the mail I've sent?? | bkennelly | 12/16/09 4:41 AM | scobieo,Your problem is relatively easy to fix. Find the filter that is deleting the sent messages and remove it. Look for any filters that delete messages "from:me" or from your address.relativtiely |

I understand that when I delete the "conversation" from the inbox it deletes it from my sent folder as well, but I have some emails that haven't been responded to and they disappear also... |
| Re: After I send mail my "sent" folder remains empty. How can I change it so I am able to see the mail I've sent?? | bkennelly | 1/3/10 3:09 PM | mattpmartz,Do you use POP or IMAP access? Do the sent messages appear in Sent Mail, then disappear? Do they appear in Trash or All Mail? |

| Re: After I send mail my "sent" folder remains empty. How can I change it so I am able to see the mail I've sent?? | bkennelly | 1/16/10 3:08 PM | Gmail groups the messages into conversations, primarily based on the subject line. When you open the conversation, the old, read messages are collapsed behind the others. Your other message is probably there. Click the top of its "card" edge, or |

| Re: After I send mail my "sent" folder remains empty. How can I change it so I am able to see the mail I've sent?? | bkc56 | 1/22/10 10:05 AM | Bayouknits, The most common cause of ALL your e-mail vanishing (All Mail, and Trash both empty) is a compromised account. Someone hacked in and deleted everything. That's a different problem than what most of the people in this thread are talking |

You didn't say, but you should check both All Mail and Trash for the missing messages. With luck, even if IMAP deleted your history, they will still be in Trash. A |
