I have worked around the problem by copying all outgoing mail back to myself, but this is extremely inelegant.

This does not seem to be applicable to me, as I have a Sent Mail box, and this includes all sent mail up to about two weeks ago. Just see two options for storing incoming pop mail and a box to tick 'Include this server when getting new mail'. When I navigate to Advanced I get no option to change the number of server connections. Change the Maximum number of server connections to cache to be 1 (setting this value to '2' may also work)'. 'Do you have more than one connection to the email server? Navigate to the Server Settings section of your account and click on the Advanced button. Now checked again and ok, A copy of sent messages does not go there. In the Path Prefix text box, type INBOX.' Under Tools->Account Settings->Copies & Folders make certain that you have selected 'Place a copy in' and that you have chosen a folder to be the Sent folder for that account.' This has been done from day one.In the list of e-mail accounts, click your A2 Hosting account, and then click Advanced.To resolve this problem on Mac Mail, follow these steps: In the Drafts path text box, type Drafts.In the Sent Items path text box, type Sent.Under Special Folders, select the Store special folders on IMAP server check box.Confirm that the Check for new messages in all folders check box is selected.Under Folders, in the Root folder path text box, type INBOX.Select the e-mail account, and then click Properties.To resolve this problem on Outlook Express, follow these steps: To resolve this issue, follow the appropriate procedure for your e-mail client application.

As a result, Mac Mail and Outlook Express are unable to locate the Sent folder for sent messages. If Yahoo doesnt automatically open the General settings section, click General in the Mail Options section on the left sidebar. This problem occurs when the IMAP folder's root path is not set to INBOX. This problem only occurs when you use IMAP to connect to the e-mail account.

When you use Mac Mail or Microsoft Outlook Express to send e-mail messages, the messages may not be copied to the Sent folder.
