Hi Andy. In Outlook Express, go to tools, options and then in the sent tab select "save copy of sent message in sent messages folder". All the best, Ibrahim. ----- Original Message ----- From: ANDY COLLINS To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, July 02, 2010 9:47 PM Subject: [access-uk] OE and the sent messages folder A friend is using OE and XP. Each time he sends an email, he doesn't get a copy saved in his sent messages folder, even though the box is ticked under options to do this. Anybody know why this might be? Thanks - Andy
