no issue in sending email... but i need to save a copy of email to my send box — DON BOSCO, Dec 13 '20 at 07:19
From my experience, there is no "auto" save of mails generated from PHP. You would have to code that explicitly. — GetSet, Dec 13 '20 at 07:22
It is the email client that populates it's SENT folder. Since you are custom coding, there is no explicit code to save to a non-specified SENT folder, or even any custom code for which mail format that should be in. — GetSet, Dec 13 '20 at 07:27
ok thank you for the quick response... so you have any idea about saving the sent email to send box in Yii2.... — DON BOSCO, Dec 13 '20 at 07:35
Id suggest saving to your own "mail" file server side. Before actually seeing if the mail is sent successfully. Like a "log". You can write your own "web app" that queries the log. — GetSet, Dec 13 '20 at 07:38
my client need to see the sent email in sent box... is there any way? — DON BOSCO, Dec 13 '20 at 07:54
Could always charge client "more" on how this cant be done, but you can make it happen separately? Separately could be a simple loop on a page that iterates his email log that you create on outbound mail from site. — GetSet, Dec 13 '20 at 08:49

Thank you all for your help. I got a solution for the problem. After an email is sent just call the below code so the email will save on sent folder.

Yii::$app->mailer->compose()
 ->setFrom('info@from.com')
 ->setTo('to@gmail.com')
 ->setSubject('Email sent from Yii2-Swiftmailer')
 ->send();



$mbox = imap_open("{imap.dreamhost.com:143/notls}INBOX", "username", "password");

 imap_append($mbox, "{imap.dreamhost.com:143/notls}INBOX.Sent",
    "From: me@example.com\r\n".
    "To: to@gmail.com\r\n".
    "Subject: Test subject2\r\n".
    "Date: ".date("r", strtotime("now"))."\r\n".
    "\r\n Test body2\r\n"
    );

// close mail connection.
imap_close($mbox);
 return true;

if you to keep any email sent just create an email address for this, for example : emailsent@abc.com then modify your code to :

  Yii::$app->mailer->compose()
 ->setFrom('info@abc.com')
 ->setTo('test@gmail.com')
  >setBcc('emailsent@abc.com')
 ->setSubject('Email sent from Yii2-Swiftmailer')
 ->send();
