Windows 10 Mail Folders

There is no option for selecting IMAP folders. In poking around the program I cannot find anything for selecting IMAP folders. In the properties window for my IMAP account there is an IMAP tab and it has: Folders Root Folder Path with a blank field, a checked checkbox for 'Check for new messages in all folders. Next is Special Foldersa checked checkbox for Store Special folders on IMAP server and a set of four parameters with filled in fields for Sent items path: 'Sent Items', Drafts path: 'drafts', Deleted items path: 'Deleted Items' & Junk Path: 'Junk E-mail'.I can see my Sent Items folder in the new account but none of my sent emails show up there.Thanks. Hello INIart,It looks like you might not have read the steps above for connecting to an IMAP account, I just cleaned them up from the Microsoft guide on the same steps above.Your IMAP folders are going to be under your IMAP account, an example of one is the Inbox folder itself.

Just right-click on it then click IMAP Folders.If you aren't seeing that, as you mentioned go to the properties window for your IMAP account and go to the IMAP tab. For the Folders Root Folder Path section type in INBOX in all caps.It sounds like your mail client is storing the special folder Sent Items, so you want to make sure you're subscribing to that IMAP folder from your mail client.- Jacob.

If your C: drive starts to run out of space, one of the most frustrating experiences can be figuring out what can be deleted or moved to another drive in order to free up storage. This is especially true with modern computers that are commonly configured with small SSD drives as their C: drive, which can easily run out of space due to their smaller storage capacity. If you are using Windows Live Mail it will store your email by default on your C: drive. If you are like me and save almost all of your email, then your Live Mail mail store can grow to a very large size. Thankfully, the program provides the ability to easily change the location where your mail is stored so that you can you move it to another drive that may have more free space available.
