What to Know

Select Menu > Options > Account Settings > Copies & Folders > Place a Copy in > Other and choose the folder.To change the Sent folder location, go to Place a Copy in > Sent Folder on > select new location. This article explains how to change where copies of sent messages are stored in Mozilla Thunderbird 68 or higher on Windows 10, 8, or 7; Mac OS X 10.9 or higher; and GNU/Linux, or stop saving them altogether.

Specify the Sent Mail Destination in Mozilla Thunderbird

Create the folder where you want to store copies of sent messages before you begin. There is no option to create a new folder in Copies & Folders. Mozilla Thunderbird automatically keeps a copy of every message you send. By default, it places that copy in the Sent folder of the account from which it is sent. But you can change this to be any folder in any account. For example, you could collect all sent mail from all accounts in the Sent folder of Local Folders.
Start Mozilla Thunderbird. Select the menu in the upper-right corner of the Mail window. Select Options in the menu that appears. Choose Account Settings. The Account Settings dialog box opens. In the left pane of the Account Settings window, select Copies & Folders. In the When sending messages, automatically section, select the Place a Copy in check box. Select Other. Select the Other drop-down arrow and choose the primary location where you want to store copies of sent messages, such as your email account server or Local Folders. Choose the folder in that location where you want to store sent message copies. Select OK to apply the changes and close the Copies & Folders window.

Change the Location of the Sent Folder

If you want to save copies of sent messages in the Sent folder in a different location, such as your email server or the local Sent folder in your Thunderbird app, change the default location. Start Thunderbird and select the menu in the upper-right corner of the Mail window. Select Options near the middle of the menu that appears. In the Options menu, choose Account Settings. The Account Settings dialog box opens. In the left pane of the Account Settings window, select Copies & Folders. In the When sending messages, automatically section, select the Place a Copy in check box. Select the location you want to use next to Sent Folder on under the Place a Copy in checkbox. Select OK to apply the changes and close the Copies & Folders window. Was this page helpful? Thanks for letting us know! Get the Latest Tech News Delivered Every Day Subscribe Tell us why!
