Sent Items folders in Outlook Express

johnboy00 · 3 May 2002, 02:24 AM

Fastmail is my first experience with IMAP. So far, I really like it compared to POP3. Auto folder synchronization between IMAP email client and IMAP server means full access to all my email and email folders from both a web client and a PC client--I love it!

However, I use Outlook Express as my email client at home, and there's one thing about IMAP in Outlook Express that's really bugging me:

When I send an email in Outlook Express, copies go into the local (archive) Sent Items folder instead of the Fastmail (IMAP) Sent Items folder. Is there any way to make them go to the Fastmail Sent Items folder?

In OE, right-click the Fastmail mailbox, go to the "IMAP tab" and type "Inbox" for "Root folder path"...then reset the folder list...

I guess I should've searched topics here before asking. Sorry.

Anyway, thanks for the tip! I'll try that when I get home tonight.

You're welcome...as you will notice in the other thread, I was the one who had the same problem...
