• If you have more than one POP3 e-mail account, sent messages appear in the same Sent Items folder under Personal Folders.
• If you have an Exchange Server e-mail account and then you add a POP3 e-mail account, sent messages for both accounts appear in the same Sent Items folder under your Exchange mailbox.

• If you use more than one e-mail account and you choose to send a message from a secondary account using the Accounts button in a new message, a copy of the message is also sent to the Sent Items folder of the primary default account.
