Apple Mail (10.7) Sent Emails...where are they

I have sent over 140 emails since August 3rd using OSX Lion and NONE, Yes NONE are showing in Apple Mail's "Sent" files.

As usual I went back to Outlook 2011 and all 142 sent emails are there.

What the heck is going on with Apple Mail??????

....Cannot search for anything

.....Cannot find sent emails

and more..

Hate to say that so far Outlook 2011 is MUCH better, but I hope that this is not true and someone can give us a reason why so far Apple Mail is a HUGE disappointment.

Thx Much
