Thanks for your reply P. Phillips but I can't see how this info will help get my sent emails into the new folder named "Sent Items" in my sidebar?

Where are the missing message located presently ?


Is the e-mail Provider using IMAP Protocol ?


Is the e-mail Provider using SMTP Protocol ?


If using the IMAP Protocol - what is appearing on the Web Portal of the e-mail Provider should be mirrored back to the Mail Application.


Have you Logged into the Web Portal of the e-mail provider and checked if the missing e-mail are appearing in a Sent or similarly name Folder ?

Thank you.


Should have Corrected Myself 😔 - should have written POP and not SMTP


POP Protocol would Remove the e-mails from the Server.


This would effective place the mails ON the computer ( Locally Stored ).


You may what to check in the Mail Application for a folder called " On My Mac " if one should exist
