saving sent emails

[stevesta]

some of my emails take ages to leave me and don't get saved; others leave immediately and do get saved.  what am i doing wrong?

Are you using an e-mail client or webmail?

[stevesta]

Hi. I am using an e-mail client, with Apple Mail.  The problem started when i switched to bt.

Is that using IMAP?

[stevesta]

yes.

You need to create a local folder on your e-mail client, then alter the client so that it keeps a copy of the sent e-mail in that location, and not on the normal sent folder.

This was discussed on another thread, when i can find it.

Here is one of the threads.

but I think there was also one relating to the MAC.

thanks for that.  unfortunately i have no idea how to do this; so any pointers would be gratefully received! (i don't underestand why bt don't organise this properly)
