Andy, OE can corrupt with regard to the sent folder. Is there any messages in it, or maybe just 10 for example, as this what happens when corrupted. The messages do not leave the out box, as it thinks the sent folder is full, causing a back log, so to speak. Try sending a message to yourself, and see if it remains in the out box, or goes to the deleted folder.

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
