Sent Items folder not available in James Server 3

Question

I am using James server 3 beta with MySQL database as a repository to develop a mail client application. I am able to send/receive mails from the application. But I want to store a copy of the sent emails in the Sent Item folder which is not provided by James server. Am I going to create the Sent Items folder my self or is there other workarounds for this with James server? regards,

There's nothing magic about the Sent items folder. You have to create it yourself and copy messages to it explicitly.

I am using MySQL as the mail repository and whenever a user is created by using Telnet(default management for James) its INBOX will be created automatically. Now, how can I create the Sent Items mailbox whenever a user is created? – Semytech Jul 11 '12 at 07:33
I don't know, I guess you need a James expert for that. – Bill Shannon Jul 11 '12 at 17:18

You don't need to create the "Sent" folder. James will create it for every user. Only if you use maildir as repository, not a MySQL.

If you store the mails to a MySQL database then you should look for mails in the database. Look for table james_mailbox, and filter column mailbox_name to "Sent".

You can store the mails to a directory, then you will have access to all emails, not only sent. But remember, this feature is available only for Linux.

One more. The mailet ToSenderFolder should be present in conf/mailetcontainer.conf file.
