your computer or mobile
device is obviously not
“sending” it, any more than
a Star Trek transporter is “transporting”

wandering around.)
With Mail for iOS and macOS, sent mail
is always retained in a Sent mailbox.
However, you can opt where that Sent
folder is kept.

these steps:Make sure your sent email is
copied to the right location in Mail
You can store your Sent mailbox on a server or in a Sent folder on a device.
