I have thunderbird on my macbook, I also have it on my iphone. I receive emails on both. However when I reply to an email from my phone it doesn't show up in my sent box on my macbook thunderbird account. Same with my iphone, I only have the sent mail from my iphone. I would like both of my mailboxes to look the same.

This only happens with an IMAP email account. If you have a POP account or have your email client set for a POP account then only the Inbox is viewed. You have to use IMAP sync all folders. With IMAP the folders and email stay on the server and you only remote view and manage them with your remote devices.
