1. Launch the Settings app
2. Choose Mail Contacts and Calendars
3. Select the account with which you are having trouble syncing the Sent folder
4. Under IMAP tap on your Account. (NOTE: If it says POP, then you have to delete the account and re-add it as an IMAP account).
5. Choose Advanced at the bottom
6. Under Mailbox Behaviors, tap on "Sent Mailbox"
7. Ensure that the folder called "Sent" is checked off under the "On the Server" section
To save the settings:
Click the "Advanced" button on the top left.

I don't even get the "On the Server" option - I have checked all of your other myriad requirements and I am on spot on all of them. Any other suggestions?

Make sure the settings saved correctly. The final steps in the instructions above are critical. If you don't back out correctly, it won't save the settings.

Greg, I don't have an apple device to look at, at this moment, but if I recall, that button is not in a logical location. Can you take a look around the screen (may have to scroll) and see if its there?

This is great if you have no idea how to change from a POP to an IMAP account.

Did you save, and back out of the program as described above. If you didn't, it won't save the settings.

Hi John1338, What you are describing is not a server issue. It has to do with the way that many of the new Apple systems create the email folders. When configuring an IMAP account it now requires you to identify/map the folders on the server rather than the ones that the phone/device creates. See instructions on this page.

Hi. I still have not received a reply from my original post. I am using Outlook 2013 and I have to choose an option of where to save my e-mails every time I send an e-mail from my laptop. If I send an e-mail from my phone, I cannot see them in my "Sent Items" when I log into Outlook.

Sent e-mail not synching on phone or tablet.
I've updated my e-mail settings on my phone and on my tablet (Outlook 2013). Whenever I send an e-mail on my phone it doesn't sync with Outlook. Before it did with the settings of .homesteadmail.com. I am now using imap.homestead.com. When I send an e-mail from Outlook on my tablet, I have to choose "Save E-mail to Sent Items" every time. If not it will default to send and remain in the outbox - ultimately causing it not to sync. I did not have to do this before either. Every device was in sync with no issues before the change. This is not helpful if I need to refer to a sent e-mail from multiple devices. Is there a way around this?

Sorry for this inconvenience. We are aware of this issue as some mobile devices try to save the sent item to a different folder other. One of the issues is that some mobile devices have a setting that allows you to designate the right folder and others don't. As soon as we have some additional information or some sort of resolution we'll create a help topic here on the community.

Ok. So is there anything that can be done about the issue with Outlook. The sent items are automatically saved in the "Outbox". Why can they not automatically save to "Sent Items"? The Outbox doesn't sync...The Sent Items folder does. Thanks.

Are you by any chance using Outlook 2013 with an IMAP configuration? If so, you may have to delete the account and set it up with a new profile. This page from Microsoft explains how the 2013 version handles the data folders differently than older versions.

I have no visibility to sent messages, since the homestead system updated. What am I doing wrong?

If you are using Apple devices follow the steps above. You have to map them to the correct sent folder. For some reason Apple creates their own set of folders and when using IMAP, you have to tell it to use the server folders instead.

The other alternative would be to set your iPhone up with an exchange connection. The directions for doing so can be found here: https://community.homestead.com/homes....

If you are setting it up as an IMAP account the steps above should fix the problem. If it's something different let us know.

Hi there,
I'm having similiar trouble as some above -- I have mapped the incoming and outgoing server to homestead account and it is verified on my iphone 4, IOS 7.1.1. I did exit as instructed.
I am receiving all incoming messages from my hotmail and homestaed accounts just fine with manual push. None of my sent messages for homestead are appearing on my iphone nor on my homestead email panel folder tree. In fact, there is only the inbox, public, shared folders and sent objects showing on the homestead panel. Where's my sent folder gone?
And is there no search for related messages possible?
Also, could my icloud account on my iphone part of this problem?
Can I actually speak to a tech today instead of typing here?
Thx, Linda

OK. The messages are being delivered, and I tested this with my hotmail account to make sure. Problem is I need to see my replies. I opended arrow to left of inbox and now have full tree, thx, including subfodlers and my sent messages. Problem now is my last sent message displayed is January, 2014. How do I display all the sent messages since then?

Is your iphone setup as a POP or IMAP account? If it is POP, then the messages sent from the phone are kept on the phone.
If it is IMAP, then per the above instructions can you see a check mark in the mail box behaviors setting to keep the sent messages on the server?

SSL should not be checked. The port should be 587 on the outgoing server in most cases, but if 25 is working, you can use that too.

Also getting 'cannot send deleted messages to trash' and periodically, messages that appear in my Outlook but have not been opened yet appear on my iPhone or iPad but do not show as new, show as opened.
Mobiles are iPad 4s updated to IOS7, 2 iPhone 5 updated to IOS7. Old accounts were deleted, new accounts set up as IMAP using HS supplied settings.
Mike F., Alum
Can you tell me how many devices you have configured with the email account? If they are all not configured exactly the same way, and there are different designated folders, this will cause syncing problems.
If you still have problems after double checking the configuration on each device let me know. We may need you to take screenshots with your iphone for each step of the configuration so we can see it from our end. Also, another option is to call Apple support. While searching the internet, this seems to be a pretty widespread problem with the Apple devices.
