105832 - Sent mail doesn't always go to sent folder

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 105838

(MailNews Core :: Composition, defect)

Description

[Neil Marshall]

If mail and news is open, and my email account is selected, I can compose an
email, send it, and it will go in the sent folder.

If I have a newsgroup selected, press ctrl-m, change the field to To: instead of
News: and put someones email address in there.  When I send it, it doesn't go
into the sent folder.

If I'm in the browser, with mail and news closed, press ctrl-m and send off an
email, when I go back to mail and news and check the sent folder, the message I
sent is not there.

No matter when or how I send it, it should be placed in the proper sent folder.
 Right now the data seems to be going to byte heaven.

In the case of sent news-messages, you will likely find them in the "Local
Folders" sent folder. That is the default, unless you have configured particular
news-servers differently.

As for mail-links triggered from browser, it seems that if mailnews is not open
but a news-server was the last selected, sent mail lands in "local folders"
sent-folder as well, since the initial identity is assumed to be that of a
news-server.

Resolving as dup of bug 105838, where reporter wishes that mail-links in browser
should use the default mail-account identity.
