I can see the sent folder, and I can send email but outlook express does not save a copy of the sent email to the sent folder. It just stopped 3 weeks ago. The "save a copy of the sent messages is checked in the tools-options-send but still nothing . I cannot prove that I sent any email.
Can you please help me with that??

I have had a similar problem with Outlook 2007. Suddenly all my sent messages disappeared and they only seem to be saved for a max of a month. I have also checked the 'save sent messages' box in options. Please can anyone help??

Same problem. 2 Outlook email accounts. One stopped saving sent mail on 9/8/08 the other on 9/5/08. In tools, the save mail in sent folder is checked. Please help.

Two days ago my Sent Folder stopped collecting notice of my sent emails. This has happened in the past, but only sporadically. I have cc’d myself in on emails and they are actually being sent, but I have no record. Please help.

I solved my missing sent mail by deleting all the items in the sent folders. Think they were too full.

looks this sent email not appearing in the sent item folder is not just happening to me. Recently I have NOD32 installed and started on that day, my sent items folder emails were missing and now only have record up to Aug 2008 and all current sent emails are not saved. Please assist, having no proof of past email isn't doing too good for me. Thank you.

I cannot view my folders I only get 2 panes, and I cannot see my folder list. What may be the problem. I was used to seeing 3 panes.
Left to Right
Folder List > e-mail info. > email detail info.

Now I only get 2 panes
Left to Right
e-mail info. > email detail info
Where did my folder list pane go???
