Question

Mail: Not all recipients shown when viewing sent messages

Jul 30, 2011 6:03AM PDT

For example, I sent a message addressed to my two daughters. That is, both their addresses were in the To field when composing. But in the Sent mailbox the address of only one daughter appeared, so I have no record that I sent it to the other. I know that I did because that (missing) daughter "replied"!

Mail changed a bit since I used it last so I'm going to be rusty.

When I got my new iMac on Wednesday I ran it to check that it was working, installing an application and a couple of utilities and manually setting up my emails in Mail. Following a stream of complaints (10 per minute) on the Lion Apple Discussions, I at first decided to delay installing Lion but installed it on Friday with no trouble. I guess from looking at the reasons for peoples' woes that many could have been caused by out of date peripherals, software et.)
