I have a question about Windows Live Mail 2011 version.
I know that an email has been sent from my account, and yet it does not appear in the 'Sent items' folder.
I have checked the "View" and "filter messages" option. nothing is configured.
This only happens with one particular email recipient.
All other emails get allocated in to the "Sent Items' folder as one would expect.
Any ideas? These particular emails are of a high importance, and i need to keep a record of them.
Many thanks for any help you can give.
