Why are my sent items not going in my sent box.

[Guest]

I have just installed Office 2007 and whenever I send a message, it is being
recived, but a copy of it is not going into my sent box, which I need.
Please help
Thanks

Look at Tools - Options - Preferences - E-mail Options and ensure there is a
check mark next to "Save copies of messages in Sent Items folder"

This has always been checked off, it was the first thing I double checked.
thanks though (I guess I should have mentioned that in the post)

Yes, that would have been good to mention ;-)

Is it possible you are using more than one pst file and you are looking in
the wrong Sent Items folder?

Or...try this. From Outlook, choose Tools - Send/receive - Send/receive
Settings and select "make this folder available offline"

Ok, I am a bit computer stupid, what is a pst file. I only have one email
account on this computer and people are getting the messages....

And that option doesn't exist in my send/receive settings only "define...",
"disable..." and "display..." are the options I have

Again,with thanks
