Default Sent items not being saved

General OE Caveats:

- Don't use Inbox or Sent Items to archive messages. Move them to local
folders created for this purpose.

- Empty Deleted Items folder daily.

- Disable Background Compacting [not available in SP2] and frequently
perform a manual compact of all OE folders while "working offline". More at
http://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm

- WinXP SP2 only: Do not shut down your machine while Windows is
automatically compacting your message store.

- Your anti-virus application's email scanning feature can also cause such
corruption. Disable it. It provides no additional protection.

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.

Default Sent items not being saved

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.

Well that's very interesting that you give credit to the info provided by
Bruce considering the link I gave you to MS Knowledge Base article 184059
has the suggestion to 'Create a new folder for Sent Items'.
