Windows 10: Emails appear in the "sent" box, but recipients are not receiving them. Sending to myself...

Emails appear in the "sent" box, but recipients are not receiving them. Sending to myself also does not work. Any tips?

Windows mail sent box problem

I have set up a friend's laptop to use Windows Mail (Windows 10 ver 1903). Sending and receiving emails works fine but sent emails do not appear in the sent box and there is nothing in the spam box either, which seems unusual. I cannot find anything wrong in settings - any suggestions please.

 

Emails I am writing and sending are no longer appearing in my sent items box

I have been successfully sending and receiving gmail on the windows mail app for several years on my laptop. However, just recently I have noticed that emails I am writing and sending are no longer appearing in my sent items box. After some searching I
found them in the junk box. What is going on and how do I fix it? thank you. for further info I can confirm that recipients are receiving my emails and emails I send are being correctly posted as sent items on my other (ios) devices. This makes me think the
problem is with my windows 10 device and or windows mail. app

 

windows live mail sent emails appear in draft sent folder and not sent folder

I'm not sure I understand how you know that the message in your drafts folder is sent. Is there some visible indication of this or are you assuming that it went and now sits in the drafts folder?

Anyway, I'm sure you're sending emails properly, but to confirm with you the following: when you compose an email and save it in Drafts, it will remain in Drafts even though you hit the Send/Receive button to send it. While in Drafts, it needs to be double-clicked
back into the edit screen and then you press Send. It then goes into the Outbox folder and when you press Send/Receive it then goes to the recipient and your email gets saved in the Sent Folder. I just state this to make sure that this is all correct with
you and that's what you have been doing.

If the above is what you have been doing, then I suggest that you send a test email back to yourself. Does this email still mysteriously moves into the Drafts folder? And do you eventually receive it into your Inbox?

If you are not receiving your email back to yourself and it moves from Outbox and into Drafts folder as Sent, then I would ask, is your email account a Pop3 or IMAP account?

One other thing: when in Live Mail, click on View and then on Storage Folders. A new listing Storage Folder with sub folders will appear on the left. Are there any emails (particularly the email in question) found in any of the boxes under Storage Folders?
