thank you Michael
Yes I know it's an e-mail client thing, you can/have to instruct the app to
keep a copy of the message in the Sent folder... Most e-mail clients can do
this.
Let me define my problem in another way: using a POP-account on my office
desktop computer, I can instruct the e-mail client (TB in my case) to keep a
copy of the sent message in the *local folder on the office desktop computer*,
but only there — I can't tell TB to have a copy *in the Sent folder on the
remote server*. Only an IMAP-account can do this.
I guess all of you guys use IMAP on all of your computers, so you don't have
this problem... I was looking for a solution for fetching my Sent folder
contents automatically from my office desktop computer to the remote Sent
folder on the server.
Thanks and best regards

Hi Meaulnes,
You probably also were confronted with this situation: you left your office
(where you use a desktop computer with a POP account) in a rush with your
laptop under the arm. On the road, you miss the latest e-mails you sent,
because there aren't in the IMAP Sent folder of that same account, they are in
the POP Sent folder in your office.
By sending an e-mail from the office computer using a POP account, the mail
client files a copy into the Sent folder. Is there a way to have the same copy
in the IMAP's Sent folder on the server, too? It would then be visible on the
laptop...
Any ideas?
Actually this is entirely a client side issue.
Emails are sent with SMTP or SMTPS. Not POP3 or IMAP. When an email is being
sent, no copy is store anywhere. It comes in by SMTP(S) and goes out by
SMTP(S). Done.
However: You can configure your email client(s) to keep a copy of the email. Either locally, or in a folder
on the server. WHICH folder it uses to store the email can usually be configured somewhere. But there are
also varying defaults such as "sent", "sent-email", "sent-mail" - even with
varying capitalization. That entirely depends on the email client.
When you then access this mailbox with another client, that client may have
different settings as to IF it stores sent emails and WHERE it does that.
This is easy to solve. Check your email client settings and make sure they all store sent
emails in the same place. Also: Check which IMAP folders your email client is subscribed
to. It could be that all you need is to include the "other" sent-email folder
in your subscriptions to make it visible in the other email client.
