Sent Items, Folders Don't 'Agree' Between TBird and OWA

I just got a new company email. I *believe* it's an Exchange server (don't know if that matters).

I can receive and send messages in Thunderbird, and the Inboxes match on TBIrd and Outlook Web Access. BUT, messages I've sent through OWA aren't in my TBird Sent Items, and vice versa. Likewise, folders I created in TBird didn't sync.

The setup looks the same as what I have for GMail on TBird, which syncs all those items flawlessly. Is there something I need to look for?

Thanks! I thought I'd said it was IMAP - sorry.

The Subscribe-Refresh worked for the Sent Items. Turned out TBird was calling it "Sent" and OWA "Sent Items", so subscribing to "Sent Items" worked, and then just changing the "Place a copy" should do the trick.

Everything looks Fonzie! Thank you!
