In Thunderbird this is user configurable, though I believe the default for IMAP "accounts" is to create a "Sent" folder on the server and save them there. In fact, TB is so flexible here that one could have a dozen IMAP accounts configured, and could save all sent item copies for all accounts in the "kermit-the-frog" folder in just one of the accounts, or could dedicate one account to nothing but the "kermit-the-frog" sent items folder. Or this folder could be a local folder. Lots of flexibility here in TB. -- Stan
