I usually manage to figure out this kind of problem myself, but you gjuy s have stumped me. Where did you hide the "Sent" folder in Thunderbird

Thunderbird 38.7.2 Mac OS X 10.11.4

To me, an email program without a "Sent" folder is about as useful as having a 3rd leg. I'm sure I'm overlooking an easy solution, but I've looked everywhere I can think of 6 times. Please help.

Thank you for your time.

Tried sending an email? It is not created until it is needed upon installation.

If you are using IMAP there can also be issues of naming of folders. For example Microsoft Mail servers insist on the folder being Sent Items. Everyone else really just uses sent. Is your account IMAP?

Between 2-300 emails sent.

Not IMAP. POP thru Time Warner Cable.

Right click the account in the folder pane and select settings. In copies and folders, where is the sent mail being directed?
