To get your mail in sentbox you have to open a compose window. Go to  
display and click on Fcc (this is the file copy carbon). It will add  
menu widget under the Cc header. Yours should be blank (that's what is  
causing your sent mails not to be stored). Click on that go to  
others... and choose the mailbox you want to put your sent-mails in.
