2 of my 3 accounts do not have a sent folder and I cannot find them.

more options

I have 3 email accounts and I just found out that 2 of them do not have a sent folder and I can not figure out how to get them. All 3 accounts send and receive mail without problems. I am using Thunderbird 24.4.0 on Windows 7. The Copies & Folders section of Account Settings seem to be set up properly (one account works and the others do not using there own email addresses).

In the Account Settings, it is possible to set multiple accounts to share a single Sent (Items) folder. I'm pretty sure that for IMAP accounts you would need to override the normal behavior to do that, but if they are POP accounts, maybe that's what happened?

Thank you for your help, but a "possible" and a "maybe" for an answer does not help me find or get my sent folders for my accounts.

I had sent folders on all of my accounts in Thunderbird before, in a way earlier version.

Are they set up as POP or IMAP accounts? In Account Settings, in the Server Settings category, this is specified on the first line.
