Thunderbird didn't import everything from Webmail's sent folder,

hi, I just installed Thunderbird to manage mail from a Webmail service using Outlook Web App. I noticed that Thunderbird didn't import everything from Webmail's sent folder, even if it did create one, so I think everything began anew. So I did some testing. When I send email using Thunderbird, the sent mail shows up in Thunderbird's Sent folder, but not in Webmail's sent folder. Same thing happens when I send an email using Webmail. It only shows up in Webmail's sent folder, but not in Thunderbird's sent folder. How do I configure Thunderbird so it mirrors exactly what I do using Webmail? Thank you. attached a photo of the settings

Did you set it up as an IMAP account in Thunderbird? It sounds like you didn't.
