Outlook 2007 imap and send items

[Robert Vilhelmsen]

Hi,

I have a laptop with Outlook 2007 configured as a imap client. This works
well and nearly all mails send out is placed on the local machine psdt file
in send items (and not on the imap server) and this is the way it must work
in this setup.

But if I send a mail from IE 8 via the Menu > File > send > via email none
of these mesages is placed in the local send items folder (or anywhere else)
and if I send mails from Outlook attached with pictures these have the same
problem. Any clue why these types of mails are not placed in the "send"
folder?

Regards
Robert

May I ask why you are using an IMAP account and yet have the Sent items
copied to a LOCAL Sent Items folder?
Surely that makes a nonsense of having IMAP in the first place...

Because the client is running on a line with extreme slow upload speed.

Sending mail from other applications doesn't allow access to all of Outlook's
features. Signatures, for example, won't be included. However when I sent a
link via IE with File>Send, the outgoing message was placed in Sent Items.

Then why bother with IMAP at all? Sorry for the divergence, it just seems
that there is a misconception on the part of your client as to the function
of IMAP.....

Exactly. The user also says this used to work until recently. Off cause the
user have no clue if anything has changed.
