Default Sent messages no longer saved!

Help! I have just noticed that Outlook Express is no longer saving my sent
messages. I have compacted all folders and deleted a number of messages but
it is still not saving them. Please can someone help?

Thanks
Sam

The setting is at OEtoolsoptionssend tab.

The Sent Items folder might be corrupt?
Move all messages that you wish to retain, into a folder that you create.

Close OE.
You need to then find the file "Sent Items.dbx" and delete it, (In Windows
XP, the Outlook Express files, including .wab and .dbx files, are by default
marked as hidden. To view these files in Explorer, you must enable
Show Hidden Files and Folders under StartControl PanelFolder
OptionsView).

OE will create a new Sent Items folder when you open OE, move your messages
back to it.

If you have a lot of saved messages move them to created folders for
storage.

Never store mail in the default folders, Inbox, Sent, Drafts, this causes
the type of problem that you are now seeing.
When you are OK again you need to compact your message store!

Select Outlook Express at the top of the folder treethen OEfilework
offline. Then Filefoldercompact all folders. Do not touch your machine
until it finishes.

HTH?
