Hi Forum, hope you can guide me in the right direction because I'm uncertain how I could achieve this or where to start.

Sending an Email with `Node-RED v1.3.5` using the Node `node-red-node-email v1.12.2` a copy to the 'Sent Mail'-Folder is not created.

Can I configure this in the function for the email-Node or is this a provider thing? Sry I am helpless in this. Thank you in advance for any reply!

Who is your email provider? How have you setup the node?

Assuming you use valid email address in node... what, if any, error do you get?

Oh... then that sounds like a provider issue. I do get a sent email with my Gmail account.

thank you! perfect, this means I have to figure this out on my provider side or create a gmail-address ... you made my day, sir!

[gmail.com](http://gmail.com) and [outlook.com](http://outlook.com) are working fine  
Office365 is failing for me as well

Is there a way to enable this in the mail provider settings 🤔
