Two Outlook Express subfolder questions

1. I configured two IMAP mailboxes in Outlook Express, one called tosrd and another called cinderellaclassic. Afterward, the tosrd mailbox shows four subfolders - Drafts, Sent, Junk and Trash. However, the cinderellaclassic mailbox shows only the Sent subfolder, even though I replied "Yes" when OE asked me if I wanted to download all the IMAP folders. Can someone please explain why the tosrd mailbox in OE shows all four subfolders and the cinderellaclassic mailbox shows only one? And, can you tell me how I can make the cinderellaclassic mailbox display all four? I tried removing and recreating the cinderellaclassic mailbox in OE, but again I got only one subfolder.

2. When I send a message from either the tosrd or the cinderellaclassic mailbox, the sent copy of the message is not stored in the Sent subfolder of that mailbox, but rather in the Sent subfolder of my default mailbox (a third mailbox that I've had forever). Can you tell me why that is, and/or how I can force OE to store sent messages in the appropriate Sent subfolder?

Use the "message rules" feature of OE to control what goes where. Takes a bit of understanding at first, but it's the only way to do it, and it does work.
It's under the 'File' menu of OE.

Pip, thank you for the note! I'll give it a whirl.
Have you any idea how to resolve my first question, about getting all four folders to display?
