I assume this is the default behaviour as it cuts down on disk writes, but I'd like to save my sent emails. Is there an option I can enable to do this?
I've scoured the forums and options but can't seem to find anything. Thanks in advance!

Well...
Go to "Tools" - "Account Settings" -"Copies & Folders".
Then just tick the checkbox "Place a copy in Send folder of "youraccountname".
That should do it.

Yea, that's the thing - that works on a regularly installed Thunderbird but on the portable version it doesn't. Sent emails go into limbo.
I'm carrying over my files from a portable install from portable apps 1.5, which also had this problem. Could it be a setting saved from there?

Well... that was frustrating.
I've been carrying over the same profile since they've been putting out Portable Thunderbird and I haven't adjusted any advanced settings; since I've been using it, sent email has never been saved and I assumed that was a caveat of using a portable version.
Simeon, I double checked that area and re-referenced my Sent area - I'd discovered someone else who had the same problem with the stock Thunderbird, and it was due to being linked to an old local folders sent box.
It's now been fixed, thanks for the reply!
