Sent items stored in montly sub folders, how can I switch that off, so they are all stored in the root folder?
We have several IMAP accounts and they all store the sent emails in their individual 'sent items' folder. I recently created another account and told it to store the sent emails in the 'sent' folder. However these are stored in monthly sub folders and I can't find anywhere how to switch that off, so they just get stored in the main 'sent' folder. Any ideas?

The only facility I know of in Thunderbird that arranges saved mail in monthly folders is the 'archive' function described here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/archived-messages
Thank you, but this is not an archive issue. I checked the archive option, which is actually set to yearly folders.
This is the only account that does organise the sent items into monthly sub folders automatically. The message goes into the root folder 'Sent' first and then a little later gets moved into a monthly sub folder.
The only difference between this and the other IMAP accounts is that it uses the default 'Sent' folder instead of a folder called 'Sent Items' that was created for each of the other accounts. Might do that for this one as well to see what happens.
If it's the default Sent folder, rather than one you created, then it's probably the Sent folder set up on the server by your email provider. Could it be that the monthly classification is a feature offered by them, i.e. it's not Thunderbird that is sorting the emails monthly but your email provider that is doing it? Try logging in to the account via their website and see if there's anything in their help menu about it.
