I had the same problem. in my case the view menu showed grouping by conversation was on. Switching it off made my messages appear. I use a lot of messages with the same subject so grouping makes no sense.

Hmmm.....I had the same problem for two days....then read all the solutions and Irwin's suggestion got me convinced I would fix it . . .but I found no toolbar in my view. Instead I tried VIEW > SORT BY > SENT (check) and bingo, all sen emails appeared ;-)

There is a good emails earch script posted at http://www.biterscripting.com/SS_FindEmailStrs.html . Here is the command line to use it (per them - I am copying part of that web page). I use it to find lost email addresses, list emails from a friend, etc. Download the tool from http://www.biterscripting.com/install.html .

script "SS_FindEmailStrs.txt" storagedir("C:/Email") files("*.eml") search_strings("joe+genovicci;ana+wilkes") sep(";") lines(100)

Thanks Leo,
After a frustrating search on the internet about how my emailbox including sent items could suddenly disappear your answer was a revelation. Well done, and explained so well to those of us who are not computer nerds.

I have had the same exact problem it happened to my work computer and after failed attempts to get the i.t guy to call me back i decided to fix it myself. the solution is to clear your filter thats what i did go to the view tab then go down and hit toolbar a list will pop out and press customise and then clear all on your filter. obviously after this over 100 other emails popped out but i just deleted them all but it helped solve the problem.
hope it works.

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.

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?

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!

You're looking at the Internet Explorer View menu, this article is about Outlook Express.

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 have had an Imap section under Outlook Express
and have experienced no problems.
Suddenly however I am getting all incoming messages
but when I compose and send the message is sent but there is no record of it having been sent in the Sent folder. I have checked the Tools -- Options ---Send tab and it still has "save copy of sent messages ......" ticked, but it does NOT.
I would appreciate your assistance

Sellin, I had the same problem you mention above. A few weeks ago, it appeared that my sent messages just stopped being saved even though the appropriate box under options was checked. Upon closer inspection, I found that something screwy happened with the dates on the most recent messages that did appear in the sent folder, and the date sent reflected dates in the future. In my case, the messages at the top appeared to be dated as sent in June 2008!!! I scrolled down to the actual date and found all of the messages that I sent where they should be by date, but with a gap in the chronology of a couple of weeks. Some kind of time warp???? Or a faulty auto update download most likely. No they are out of order, but at least they are there.

The sent Items folder is a local folder. I want to be able to see this on all computers in my home network. (I have hMailServer, set up so that my incoming email is handled through the local IMAP. But outgoing email goes directly (SMTP) to outgoing.verizon.net. I want to continue to use my verizon.net email addresses.)
