I have four systems with Outlook 2016. Each Outlook installation has more than 5 active email accounts--mostly the same. Where possible, I have the accounts setup as IMAP. None of the email accounts on the four systems display a "Sent Items" folder; they do have other versions such as "Sent," Sent Messages," etc. I assume these other versions of sent came from different phones I have synced in the past (iOS and Android).
When I send email from an account on one system, I cannot find the email in the "Sent" folder. When I search for that email using a key word on the system that sent the email, it is found and is shown as located in the "Sent Items" folder--yet there is no "Sent Items" folder displayed in the folder view (all expanded). When I go to the other systems and perform the same search, same result (email is found and shown to be in the "Sent Items" folder but no such folder is displayed. Therefore, it appears to be syncing across systems.
I have logged into the email account with a web browser and there is no "Sent Items" folder displayed using the browser to access the account.
I hope I have explained this clearly. In summary, I have a "Sent Items" folder, but it is hidden and not accessible, except for search queries. I seem to recall in previous versions being able to specify a folder for sent email, but I cannot find that option. Ultimately, I would like to ensure all systems and devices are saving to the same sent folder.
