Hi Paul,

To enable us to help better please always include what  OS X version are you 
running? And what Mail Application you are using.
Are you using Apple Mail App?

1. Open Mail
2. Highlight (click once) on the Sent Mailbox
3. Then choose Mailbox > Rebuild (from the top Menu)

Rebuild creates the index to the messages and does not cause them to be lost.
During Rebuild all messages in the Mailbox will briefly disappear from the list 
of messages, but they will reappear.

Let us know how you get on please.

Cheers,
Ronni
