I'm able to send and receive mail from all of my IMAP clients, no problems. But mail sent from my iPhone does not appear in the "sent" folder. In fact, my iPhone (running 13.3) does not have a "sent items" folder (see below) Based on some forum searches, I attempted to change my phone account settings, as shown below. However,I am unable to select the Inbox shown under "on the server"
Incidentally, the setting screenshot is from: Settings / Passwords & Accounts / <my IMAP account> / Account / Advanced / Sent Mailbox.
Thanks for any ideas!
Solved! Go to Solution.
OK, I figured it out.
I changed my IMAP Path Prefix. The field (shown below) was filled with "Inbox". I erased that, killed the mail client, reopened it, and bam! Bob's your uncle. This setting can be found in:
Settings -> Passwords & Accounts -> [your account name] -> Account -> Advanced -> IMAP Path Prefix
On the Mailboxes Screen - Click Edit - You should be able to "Show" the sent Folder that way

Thanks for your quick reply! Here are the folder edit options. No "Sent Items" shown.
1) Have you tried to restart your phone
2) Have you reached out to apple as I think this is is an apple vs with your mail account.

Yes, no change.

No. I'm guessing the iOS IMAP implementation is pretty solid.
