[Bug] No Sent Emails in Sent Folder when using SMTP [answered]
Edit: apparently this is a bug, so I'm changing it to such...
I use POP/SMTP for my email for two accounts. When I send an email from my phone, there is no copy saved in my sent folder, which I would like to do for record/reference sake. It would be good to be able to turn on the facility to do this - if it isn't. If it is, does anyone know how to do it?
@skanky - You mean in the phone sent folder ? because if you are using POP it will not save the email in the server side, since POP has only Inbox folder, rest are local folders.

There should be a copy of any email sent via SMTP saved in the local Sent folder (or more ideally, a configurable local folder as some like to keep them threaded with the incoming emails). The fact that the other folders are local, and the new email was created locally means there should be no issue saving this outbound email.
Also, it would hellp in actually knowing it went out successfully, it would be nice to have it. When I sent some emails from my phone, they just vanished. I had no idea what had happened to them, until I got replies. Being able to check Outbound and Sent for outgoing SMTP emails is pretty standard.

VDVsx ( 2015-01-26 12:51:33 +0300 )editThanks for testing this. I have (had) two email accounts on my phone - both POP/SMTP. When I tried it, I checked the sent folders for both and both were empty (I tried sending from both accounts, too).
Unfortunately my phone is currently with Jolla, so I can't test again. When it gets back, I'll have another play. There may be some account setting that affects it, but it wasn't obvious to me which one it was (if any).
