Missing "Sent" (or am I doing it wrong)
Windows 10 32bit new installation (previous hdd crashed, backup lost, so new SSD and installations)
I have Outlook and ntlworld mail accounts in my newly installed Thunderbird. Whilst I can access both accounts in full individually, online, what I can't seem to do is consistently get my "sent" messages into my Tbird "Sent" folder. (I have today added a Yahoo account, which works perfectly, so far).
I also access/use my email from my Android tablet - via Fairmail application which has limited functionality. Don't think Tbird works with Android GO.
Ideally I'd like the entire content of the online "sent" folders in my pc Thunderbird settings - I get bits and pieces only. Think it's POP3, but I can't find a POP3 setting for either Outlook or ntlworld (think that's the one that gets messages in matching pc folders). 1/ How do I get all my "sent" data into my Thunderbird "Sent" folders 2/ Does using same mail services on two devices affect that "sent" update ? 3/ For reasons that escape me, Thunderbird has added 3 extra folders which don't relate to any account, how do I delete them (contents nil) See picture ..

IMAP is the ideal option for accessing your server folders in any email client. You should know what POP and IMAP have to offer and why you would choose one over the other. With IMAP, whatever is on the server (online) is exactly what you will see from whichever client/app you're using, both on PC or mobile device.
