Hi...
We are using version 4.6 and are experiencing problems with moving mail from our sent box to other folders. It appears to copy rather than move. What are we missing here? Is there a setting somewhere that we've overlooked ?
Thanks !
 
Hi,

the sent 'view' is not a folder, therefore you cannot 'move' documents from it, like you can with the inbox (which is a folder).
If you drag documents from the sent view it will simply create a 'link' in whichever folder you drag to.
It does not create a copy. It creates a link, meaning your mailfile does not get any bigger.
This also means that if you delete the document from the sent view, you delete all links also.
If you know anyone who develops notes databases, they would explain that the sent view is simply showing all mails which are flagged as being sent from your mailfile

hope this clears things up for you !?
