Hello mlhbow,


It sounds like you're unable to find the Sent mailbox folder on your Mac. We're happy to help. If your other mailboxes are showing as expected, you may want to rebuild your mailboxes:


Rebuild mailboxes in Mail on Mac

You may need to rebuild a mailbox to update the list of messages it contains. For example, if messages appear to be missing or garbled, or if you can’t find all relevant messages when you search using the Entire Message search option.

1. In the Mail app  on your Mac, select a mailbox in the sidebar.
2. Choose Mailbox > Rebuild.

When you rebuild mailboxes for IMAP or Exchange accounts, messages and attachments stored on your Mac are discarded, and then downloaded again from the mail server to your Mac. Your mailbox appears empty until the download is complete.
