Hello Ladies and Gentlemen, OK, it seems as though this bug in Apple Mail has been going on for quite a while, now from as far back as 10.4.
I did some searching on the net and found the following entries. At least I now know that I am not losing my mind. Read on: Mark Vanishing sent messages in Apple Mail 4.3 Posted: Oct 28, 2010 6:24 AM Reply Email I'm using Mac OS 10.6.4 with Apple Mail 4.3 and I've experienced a bug recently. I noticed that some of my messages, either new ones from scratch or replies to received messages, simply vanished. If the message was a reply, I can't find it back by clicking on the curly arrow next to the name of the original message. A friend also experienced the same problems and we unfortunately can't replicate or find a logic to this bug. Searching doesn't do the trick, I'm using IMAP and it's also gone on the server but people receive these messages apparently. Technote: MailTags and Mail Act-On are installed. Has anyone experience the same problem and manage to isolate the cause of it? Thanks in advance for your help.

Its very frustrating. Sometimes I have to question myself whether or not I actually sent something or not. Then the next day someone will reply and I can restore faith in my sanity. The only difference in my situation is that I do not use MailTags or Mail Act-On, whatever they are. So I think you can probably rule them out.

I don't use those add ons either. This is a big problem. A copy of the sent message seems to not make it to the Sent Items folder on the server. It doesn't happen all the time, but also doesn't seem to have anything to do with attachments, either.

This is very inconvenient as I try to keep copies of all my incoming and outgoing mail so as to create a paper trail so I can check where I am with particular projects.

I subscribe to all my Google Lists using iMap. I use both Apple Mail and Outlook and I use Outlook on more than one PC. I have confirmed that it is only when I use my Apple Mail client that when I reply to a thread, I do not see it in my Inbox. I want to be perfectly clear; when replying to threads in Outlook, I see my replies in both my Outlook Inbox and my Apple Mail Inbox, just as I should. So, this confirms that some setting in Apple Mail has been changed since I upgrated to 10.6.5 that I have yet to locate. I realize that there is a CC Myself setting in Apple Mail but this will copy me on every outgoing message which is unnecessary. So, if anyone has any idea on what setting I should adjust, I would greatly appreciate it. For some reason, I greatly dislike not seeing my replies in threads for, sometimes, I lose the flow of the conversation. Finally, it should be noted that because I do not have this problem in Outlook there is nothing to adjust at the Google server level or at the Google Group mailing list level, either.
