Yahoo not saving copies of sent mail on server??

I use Mail.app to retrieve my Yahoo email. It all arrives fine and sends fine....the problem is that no copies of SENT MAIL are being kept on the server....sometimes this is very useful (like whne you away and checking mail online).

How do I set up Mail to keep copies of messages sent via Yahoo Mail....on the server?

Used to do this no problem on Windows and it seems so simple, surely there is a way to do the same in mail?

Double check the following settings in Mail:

Preferences>Accounts>(Select Yahoo account)>Mailbox Behaviors>make sure the "store sent messages on server" is selected, you also have an option of how often it will delete them.

Hope this helps!

If a Yahoo account can be created as a POP type account only with the Mail.app or with any other email client on Mac or Windows, you cannot save sent messages on the server with a POP type account when using an email client.

Please provide the Windows email client you were using.
