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?? This happened after a power loss...

You say from View go to Layout. Where is this?
Under View I have Toolbar, Status bar, Explorer bar (set to folders), Go to, Stop, Refresh, Txt Size, Encoding, Source, Privacy report, Full screen.

But no Layout!

Leo:
I too have followed your instructions and the last several emails that we have sent are not showing up in the sent item folder even though it has been checked

Sporadically, Outlook Express has stopped listing my sent messages. If I use the search function, some of the sent messages seem to be in a sub folder. How can I find them?

My co-worker had the problem of a copy not being stored in his sent items folder and he asked me to "fix it". I finally sent myself and email and did a search of that email. It said it was in the Sent folder but the date was wrong. He had unknowingly changed his computer's date. Once changed all was well. I know this seems like a simple answer, but it is worth just checking first.

Hello Leo I have outlook express in the office and i just set it up on the home computer and i the sent files did not load on the home computer is this normal and how can i get them on the home computer.
