Specify a Sent Mail Folder

By default, Thunderbird stores your sent messages on the server in a folder named "Sent". Follow these steps if you want to specify a different folder in which you want to store copies of your sent messages:

1. Select Tools > Account Settings.
2. Select the Copies & Folders option in the left pane.
3. Select the Place a copy in checkbox. Depending on where you want to store your sent mail, select one of the following:
   • "Sent" Folder on radio button, and then select your account or Local Folders from the pull down menu.
   • Other to specify a different sent mail folder. If you select this option, additional windows will display to allow you to browse to the exact folder that you want to use. For example, if you want to store your Thunderbird sent messages in the same folder as Webmail uses, select your Thunderbird account name, then Inbox, then select Sent Mail.
     
4. Click OK.
