adding folders to send/receive group

[Guest]

I am using Outlook 2002 and am trting to download my emails from my webmail,
with my own domain name.

I can download the inbox ok, but none of the sent items.
I have checked the send/receive group under the send/receive settings, it
lists the personal folders and only one sub foolder i.e. inbox.
How can I get it to list the sent mail subfolder?

Let me guess; you are using a POP3 account?
The POP3 protocol only retrieves items from the Inbox folder.

Yes I am using a POP3 account, incoming mail is from a POP server.
Is there any way arouns this?
As the sub folders of the inbox are not shown either?

Move all the items to the Inbox folder of your web based mailbox. Outlook
will download the items then where you can sort them offline.

Thanks yes I do that already, I was looking for a neater way to download them
into the right box in date order.
Anyway thanks again.

No, than you would need another mail protocol like for instance IMAP.
Contact your ISP and ask if that is supported for your mailbox.

POP3 only knows of a "mailbox". There are no folders. There isn't
even an "Inbox" named folder. There are no folders at all under POP3.
It is just ONE mailbox. Your POP3 client retrieves all mails from
your mailbox. That your provider calls their mailbox as the Inbox is
only because they also include their own server-side folders when
using their webmail interface. Those other folders are NOT part of
the mailbox. They are logically separate holding areas up on the
server. Your POP3 client will only retrieve mail items from your
mailbox.

There is no FOLDER command that the POP3 client can send to the mail
server to select a different folder up on the mail server. For a list
of POP3 commands, see ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc1939.txt.
Once your e-mail client yanks the item from your server's mailbox, you
can move it around wherever you want inside your e-mail client by
using rules.
