My MSN sent mail isn't showing up in the sent mail folder. Is it somewhere else?

My MSN sent mail isn't showing up in the sent mail folder. Is it somewhere else?

Not that I'm aware of. Make sure you have the option to save your sent mail selected - it may be off by default.

No. Thats the way it's supposed to work. If you don't tell it to save it, then it doesn't, and there's no way to get it.

When I write or reply to an e-mail it doesn't go to my sent folder, how do I get it to do that. I can't find it under options.

One sent message shows on my 'sent mail' but no others, so it seems that it's not turned off but I don't know why the later sent message don't show up there?

my messages that I am sending in hotmail are not showing up in the sent file. I did not see any type of option to turn this feature on or off?

Nope, probably not.

Where is the option to save sent messages. I can't find it!

Hotmail is not like Gmail, whereas Gmail will help you record your sent messages, leaving you the benefit of checking what you have sent.
