Hi there I have recently started using Thunderbird again on my iMac and have noticed when I send a email using Gmail the sent email is showing in my sent folder on my Gmail account but is not showing in the sent folder on Thunderbird the only emails in my Thunderbird sent folder are emails I have sent using Thunderbird any emails sent from devices like my iMac or iPad are not showing up in the sent folder on Thunderbird.

I am not sure why this is happening any help would be much appreciated.

did you configure your account as IMAP as required to any synchronization to occur?

Have you set up the account in Thunderbird as IMAP or as POP? Somehow I have the feeling you've set up it as POP. You can only see the folders on the server if the account is IMAP…
