Not saving sent items for yahoo mail through outlook?

[mkotsayfan]

I have my yahoo mail account set up through pocket outlook, everything works ok except when I send messages, they don't show up in the sent folder. I have the setting checked that should save all sent items, so I'm stumped as to why it won't work. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

I would say you have two possibilities, one no E-Mails are being sent or two you need to go to your message option and select the check box which tells it to save a copy in your sent folder.

Unfortunately, this seems to be a common problem, especially with IMAP email accounts. From what I have read so far (Search IMAP Issues on XDA), there is no fix for this and is an issue with Windows Mobile.

Hopefully you don't have the issue where you cannot send email attachments as well... that's another common IMAP issue....

SIGH!!!

I've been browsing various posts about this problem and just found a simple solution to my problem that might help others.

I have a yahoo account set up for for IMAP sync with my handheld. The "Keep copies of sent items in sent folder" box under options...message was checked. Yet my handheld was saving none of the emails I had sent.

I also noted that I have two folders for sent in my account: one called "sent" and one called "sent items".

My solution was to check "Sent Items" for sync under the Menu...Tools...Manage Folders option on the handheld. Syncing the "Sent" folder had no effect.

Having set the "Sent Items" folder for sync, all the emails I had previously sent magically appeared on both my handheld and on my yahoo account. Amazing.

I hope someone else finds this helpful.

Thanks tedkle! Your solution worked perfectly! My Sent Items now appear on both my handheld and Yahoo account.

Now for the next challenge. . . I also synchronize with Outlook, so Yahoo, my device and my desktop Outlook all need to be in synch.

Is there any way to take your solution one step further and also have mail sent from my device also appear in Outlook? It would appear that a setting in Yahoo needs to be flipped to "Push" items in "Sent Items" folder as well as items in the "Inbox"?

Thanks again!

Great!
That solve the problem. I was told by a tech representative that it was a flaw with Windows Mobile. furthermore, he said that the telco technician confirmed that.
All that after putting down $500 for a PPC smartphone. Hopefully, the telco will come up one day with smart-technicians.
Thanks a lot
