• "Sent items" icon disappears

  I am posting this for my sister who is not gifted in computer science.  She uses Outlook Express, but is unable to tell me the version of Windows and Outllok Express, she uses.  My guess is she's using Win XP.

  His '' elements of Snet '' disappeared from his Exporess Outllok.  I suspect that the entire toolbar may have disappeared as well.

  Can anyone here please help this cela?  Thank you.

  A little difficult with limited information.

  Sent Items is not on the toolbar of the OE. View | Page layout | Folder bar under the toolbar that the folder is open.

  View | Page layout | Folder list displays all folders in a "folder tree" left. No matter which option you use, it will not discriminatory and not only display the sent items. It's all the folders, or none.

  Another possibility is that she lost all her messages in sent items. If this is the case, there are bigger problems. Following must be observed when using OE, but not do it all at the moment if it is indeed the messages that have been lost. This will hamper the ability to retrieve messages, if they are needed.

  General precautions for Outlook Express:

  Do not archive mail in the receipt or sent items box. Create your own user-defined folders and move messages you want to put in them. Empty the deleted items folder daily. Although the dbx files have a theoretical capacity of 2 GB, I recommend all a 300 MB max for less risk of corruption.

  After you're done, followed by compacting your folders manually while working * off * and do it often.

  Click Outlook Express at the top of the the folder tree so no folders are open. Then: File | Work offline (or double-click on work online in the status bar). File | Folder | Compact all folders. Don't touch anything until the compacting is completed.

• I don't see any mail in my "Sent items" folder

  I don't see any mails sent keep in my 'sent point' after I've upgraded to Windows Live mail 2011. Means that every mail I sent won't keep a copy in the sent items folder.

  I have no problem to follow-up my e-mail sent in 'sent point' before I did the upgrade. How can I turn on keep it in 'sent point '?

  Thank you.

• Messages do not automatically moved from the Outbox to the sent items

  Hello. Everything worked fine until 08:00 this morning.

  Now, when I send an email, it is sent but is not automatically moved from Outbox sent items. So, I get an error message (but no error code. He says only: "some errors occurred while processing the requested tasks"). Because the message remains in the Outbox if there is another message to send that it will send the first once again, and then the second, then the first again, then the second again, etc. The only way I can work around it must manually move each e-mail sent from the Outbox to sent items.

• How to make a copy of the sent IMAP messages when the sent folder file cannot be found?

  My Thunderbird works fine. I also see messages in the "sent" folder but I wonder are only registered in the IMAP server messages. For the backup application, I would like to copy the file from the "sent" folder but I can't find a local file for this.

  In home/me/.thunderbird/44g5fxvp.default/ImapMail/mail. .fi [mymail] I have files
  Archives - 1.sbd
  Archives.MSF
  Deleted messages
  Messages.MSF deleted
  Drafts.MSF
  INBOX
  INBOX.msf
  inbox_old
  inbox_old. MSF
  msgFilterRules.dat
  Sent.MSF
  Templates.MSF
  Trash.MSF
  Trash.SBD

  IE Sent.msf exists but is not named file sent. I am looking for a bad place? My Thunderbird settings or preferences are wrong? Is there something obvious that I missed?

  What is the most convenient way to make a local copy of the sent messages folder if Thunderbird does not have a local copy of it?

  Information on my system:
  The application databases
  Name Thunderbird
  Version 31.0
  User Agent Mozilla/5.0 (X 11; Linux x86_64; RV:31.0) Gecko/20100101 Thunderbird/31.0

  Subscribed IMAP folders accounts configured to synchronize and place a copy of the folder on the server in the profile of mail, but this issue is constantly updated to match the server, so if you have new messages then these changes are made to the server folder and the folder on your computer is updated to match the server folder. Or if you delete mail from your copy then it will update the server. Then synchronized files are constantly changed and updated.
  Moving while copy/move, it stops the activity on files synchronized and enables offline that get you a copy to anywhere else you want.
  Less chance of something going wrong.
  then go back to online mode.

  I knew that some people have problems with copy/move emails in online mode that are offline.

  Easy way to go 'offline and online.
  To go offline:
  Click 2 bluescreen icon located in the bottom left of the status bar.

  To go online again:
  Click 2 screen black icon located in the bottom left of the status bar.

• Outlook Express sends the message, however, the message remains in the "Outbox", does not go to the "sent items".

  When I send an e-mail message, the message is sent, however, it remains in my "Outbox" and does not go to the contrary to my Inbox "sent items".  Downstairs, to the left of the Outbox, a message says '0 1 message sent' but the e-mail message is sent.  I "fixed" internet explore and "restored" to a policy earlier, but this has not solved the problem.  What is the solution?  Please notify.  Thank you.

  I have moved all my messages on my "Sent items" folder and the "trash" to other folders, closed Outlook Express and delete the file Sent Items.dbx and Outbox.dbx file.  I reopened Outlook Express, and it does not create new sent items folders and the Outbox.

  I created a new identity as the solution.  Thanks for the help.

• I'm getting copies of all sent items

  I've got Microsoft and google accounts more I also checked my ISP account and all do. Once I sent an item if I check sent items there are always two identical messages there. I am running Linux Mint, but I had the same problem under OpenSuse as well.

  For Gmail and Hotmail / accountsoutlook.com , uncheck "place a copy in" under the tools/account settings /AccountName/Copies & files, since these two services automatically copy sent to the folder messages 'sent'.
