Have just moved to new PC running XP and Outlook 2003 (although Outlook help
shows 2002). My sent messages seem to be copied to my in box when I send
them. How do I set it up so sent messages go to the sent folder? Thanks.

Tools > Options...

At the top, under E-Mail, click the E-Mail Options... button

The second checkbox from the top says "Save copies of messages in Sent Items
folder. Check That.

Sorry, but that was already ticked. What else could it be that I need to do?

Seems alot of XP users are asking that question. Do you have all the necessary
update? Not just Windows, but from the office updates as well?
 
I've updated Office (there weren't any updates apparently) and Windows but
can't see much difference. What I have noticed though is - if I send a new
email, from scratch, it goes to the sent box. If I click reply to an old
email, then it goes in the inbox instead. I know someone will know the
answer; thanks for all the suggestions, keep 'em coming.

Try to solve this problem by adding a new profile

Control Panel | Mail | Show Profiles

If this were happening to me and I were using a POP account, I'd start with
a new PST, make it my default delivery location, and move everything from
the old to the new.
 
Thanks. I found something in another Outlokk General message, about
unticking a box in email advanced settings and have tried that - so far it
seems to have worked. Will give it another try tonight and if this doesn't
work will try your suggestions. Thanks for your help. Sue
