Sent items going to inbox instead of sent items

Post by Rudi »

Hi,

I have a friend who has migrated his entire hard drive to an (external) SSD drive.
All is working OK, except Outlook.

Since the migration, sent mail in Outlook appears in his Inbox instead of the Sent Items folder?

Any ideas how to fix this?

I came across this: https://support.office.com/en-us/articl ... ce0eabeb2c.

I'll need to check whether my friend has an Exchange or IMAP account?

If anyone has additional advice, please post.

Could he be using Conversation View?
Best wishes,

LOL... good suggestion! If he is unaware of this setting it could catch him by surprise.
I'll take this into account.

Are you sure of this statement?
As far as I know one can not boot windows to an external drive?

It is not very smart to even hack a system to save all user data to an external drive.

Hi Dave,

I was given scant info relayed by the wife.
So no, I'm not 100% sure (of anything to be quite honest). :crazy: :grin:
