IMAP save sent messages does not work

I run Windows Live Mail with IMAP and have ticked save copies of sent
messages in the sent items folder, but this does not happen... The sent
items folder is only called 'sent' for some reason, could this have
something to do with it?

When you have an IMAP account, there may be a disconnect between the folder
names if the provider does not use the same name as the default MSFT name.
You can fix that by going to the IMAP tab in account properties and
renamning the folder in the "Sent Items path:" to match the name assigned by
the service provider. But that can be trick with services, such as Gmail,
which don't use the same path structure as WLM expects to find.

Look in Storage folders | Sent Items and I bet you will find those saved copies of your sent messages.
