My husband and I each have Thunderbird emails. Occasionally, when he sends a message out of his inbox, it ends up in my "sent" file, and labeled from me. But, when there is a reply from the recipient (or a bounce back), it comes into his inbox. So, why is the original ending up in the wrong sent file?

Check your settings in account settings / copies & folders where sent should be saved.
