e-mails sent do not post into sent items folder

When sending any e-mail in Windows Live Mail, it appears that a copy of the e-mail does not get saved in the "sent items" folder. I have read a few threads on this and one suggested to look into the "sent items" under the Storage Folders but this is not the answer to the problem. Any other suggestions as to how to insure that every e-mail I send has a copy in the sent items folder would be appreciated. Thanks.

Check Tools\Options\Send, the top tick box. "Save a copy of sent items..."

If you have several accounts, sent mails should end up in the Sent box belonging to the account used for that mail. Only newsgroup postings end up in my Storage Sent Items (though I use a fake 'From' address which may explain that).

Hello michael,
Open your Windows Live Mail > top panel, click Tools > click Options > top panel, click Send > put a check (tick) in the 1st box that says "Save copy of sent messages ---"
Inform me if that works.
