Does all mail folder keep sent mail
In most email clients, including Microsoft Outlook, Gmail, and Yahoo Mail, the "All Mail" or "All Messages" folder typically includes both sent and received emails.
However, the behavior can vary depending on the email client and its settings. Here's what you can expect:
- Microsoft Outlook: The "All Mail" folder in Outlook includes both sent and received emails. This is because Outlook stores all emails, including sent items, in the "All Mail" folder by default.
- Gmail: The "All Mail" label in Gmail includes both sent and received emails. However, you can use the "Sent Mail" label to view only sent emails.
- Yahoo Mail: The "All Mail" folder in Yahoo Mail includes both sent and received emails. You can use the "Sent" folder to view only sent emails.
- Other email clients: The behavior may vary depending on the email client. For example, some email clients like Mozilla Thunderbird or Apple Mail may store sent emails in a separate folder, while others may include them in the "All Mail" or "Inbox" folder.
If you want to keep sent emails separate from received emails, you can usually configure your email client to store sent emails in a separate folder. For example:
- In Outlook, you can create a separate folder for sent emails and set it as the default folder for sent items.
- In Gmail, you can use the "Filters and Blocked Addresses" feature to automatically move sent emails to a separate label.
- In Yahoo Mail, you can create a separate folder for sent emails and set it as the default folder for sent items.
It's always a good idea to check your email client's settings to see how it handles sent emails and to customize the behavior to suit your needs.
