Windows Mail problem

When I send an email using Windows Mail, it immediately disappears from both
the Out box and the Sent items box. Thus it is impossible to know if,
indeed, it has been sent.
How can this be remedied?
Help anyone, please.

It should disappear from the Outbox when it actually goes out. To
copy it to the Sent Items folder at this time, click on Tools, then
Options, then Send. If there's no check mark in the box before
Save copy of sent messages in the 'Sent Items' folder, click on
this box, then Apply. Click on OK.

Also, click on Sent Items. If the box at the right end of the blue
bar near the top does not sat Show All Messages, click on the
triangle in this box, then Show All Messages.
