I followed the instructions of Bruce Hagen with perfect results.
Apparently the existence of an imported 'sent items' folder prevents
the saving of new sent items in that folder. A few other responders
were close to this solution. Thanks to all for your suggestions.

Just switched to a newer laptop. Set up OE that I have used for many

Clicking on Tools/Options/Send, the box for 'Save copies of sent items
in the 'Sent Items' folder' is checked. However none of my sent items
are being saved there.

Please advise how I can correct this problem. Thank you.
