How do I save replies?

How can I save replies in my sent messages directory?

I thought the sent directory contained all messages that you
sent.

Today I thought that I had sent something but, not seeing it in
sent messages, I sent it again. Later I discovered that I had
sent two replies. I did an experiment and discovered that my
replies weren't saved in the sent directory.

I did some searching only to find posts asking the question but
no answers.

Is Outlook any different?

Its possible your sent items folder is corrupt. Move all the messages from
the sent items folder to another folder. Then close OE and find the sent
items.dbx file (hidden) and delete it. Then reopen OE and it will create a
new sent items folder. See if that fixes it.

Have you been in the options send tab and made sure there is a tick
besides "Save a copy of the message in the Sent Items folder.
Just a thought

Select the Sent Items folder then View, Current View and make sure that
you are not hiding read messages.

Select Tools, Options, Send and make sure that you have checked the
option to save a copy in the Sent Items.

I tried these and in the process discovered that I had view,
current view, group by conversation checked, making the replies
disappear under the original message. I didn't realize that the
symbol the left indicated that.

This sure is an easy mistake to make, but hard to discover.
