Sent Email storage not going into "sent" file, going into "All Files" instead.

I have 4 seperate email addresses in Thunderbird. Only one of them has this problem and I would like to resolve it. When I send an email, the copy goes into "All Files" and not into the "Sent" email; folder. Which setting do I need to change to put it right please?

Check out <Account Settings | (the account in question) | Copies & Folders | When Sending messages, automatically: | Place a copy in...> and make sure it's pointing to a legitimate destination.

If this is a Gmail account, keep in mind that the pseudo folder "All Mail" does indeed include all mail, including Sent. That's one reason to not subscribe to it in Thunderbird - it's misleading in the case of a standard IMAP mail agent like Thunderbird.
