I want to have ALL my messages that I send copied to Inbox folder. I know the option Edit> Account Settings> under "Copies & Folders" option "Place replies in the folder of the message being replied to". I have checked this option. What it does is that it copies my answers in conversations that are already started. So if I just send mail to someone I won't see it in my Inbox but only in the Sent folder, with other words it does not copy my first mail if I'm the one that starts the conversation. Is there a way I can have all my sent emails in my Inbox folder? I tried making some filter but I didn't get what combination would do the job.

I figured out that if under options at Edit> Account Settings> Copies & Folders> under "Place a copy in:" i click on "Other" and select there my Inbox folder I will get effect I wanted but I lose my previous sent folder. Even the icon change from stamp to Inbox icon. So that means I can not see just mails I send but only all together with Inbox mails.

I understand that I could use filter to tag all mails I sent and than in quick search just click to see that tag. It would get the similar effect as the Sent folder but I don't see this as a great solution. Is there some smother way to do what I want and keep my Send folder?

Some of us like to advise against storing anything in the Inbox, let alone adding to it your Sent messages.

The setting you mention will start saving sent messages immediately. It's up to you to move historic messages from the proper Sent folder to wherever you want them. Be aware that if the account uses IMAP, it may take some time for the client (Thunderbird) and the server to get back into step.

I file my messages in different folders according to who I'm corresponding with (family), or the project the messages relate to (at work). So yes I too want replies filed alongside the messages they respond to. I go about this by using an add-on, "Copy Sent To Current" which modifies Thunderbird's storing strategy for sent messages, and can be set to prompt me to choose when sending.

Another approach you may prefer is Conversations, as in gmail, where the messages in a to-and-fro conversation are strung together. However in most business correspondence, it's customary to simply top-post at the top of the incoming message and send the whole thing back, so it becomes less necessary or useful to store all the messages anyway. Each message is in itself a summary of the conversation so far.

In either case, typing the appropriate words into the add-ons window's search box will find suitable add-ons for you.
