Sent Emails Not Appearing in Your Sent Folder

If emails you send from your phone, tablet, or desktop mail client are not showing up in your Sent folder, the most common cause is an incomplete IMAP folder configuration. Your email client needs to be told which server folder to use for sent messages.

Fix for iPhone and iPad

Go to Settings > Mail > Accounts
Tap on your email account
Tap Account, then Advanced (or IMAP Path Prefix)
Under Mailbox Behaviors, tap Sent Mailbox
Under "On the Server," select the Sent folder
Do the same for Drafts and Trash if they are also not syncing

Fix for Outlook

Go to File > Account Settings > Account Settings
Double-click your email account
Click More Settings > Sent Items tab
Select Save sent items in the following folder on the server and choose the Sent folder

Fix for Android

In most Android email apps, go to your account settings, find the folder settings or folder mapping section, and make sure the Sent folder is mapped to the server Sent folder rather than a local-only folder.

Make Sure You Are Using IMAP

This issue only applies to IMAP accounts, which sync folders between your devices and the server. If you are using POP3, sent messages are stored locally on your device and will not appear in webmail or on other devices. If syncing sent mail across devices matters to you, switch your account to IMAP (port 993 with SSL).
