    Hi. I had the same problem in Outlook Classic and found a solution.

    All the settings were correct, server, etc. However, when a message was written it would stay in the 'Outbox' until Outlook was closed and reopened, then it would send. It would not show as sent in Outlook (and yes, I had the "Don't save copies of sent items" unselected), but it did show as sent when I opened Gmail online.

    When I did the suggestion in 6. above of setting the root folder path to INBOX the problems vanished! However, at the same time so did the 40 odd sub-folders that I had created with emails in a folder called 'Personal'.

    So I removed the INBOX setting, the folders reappeared, and so did the sending email problem, as well as not showing sent items.

    The problem was thus somewhow related to having all these subfolders. So I created a separate email account, moved all the subfolders to that, and had a 'clean' Gmail install. I reset the INBOX option on, and since then no issues.

    I had the same problem ... when I upgraded my Office Business standard subscription to Office Business premium, the problem was solved.

    In my windows 10 Dell laptop, I have simultaneously Outlook New and Outlook (Classic).

    Outlook classic came as part of my Microsoft 365 subscription.

    I am using both these versions of Outlook simultaneously in my laptop. Is there any problem in using both versions simultaneously in your PC?

    Problems I am facing with Classic Outlook:

    • I am not able to see my gmail sent mails in the sent items folder.
    • Also not able to see my sent message in the folder even when I am now sending new mails.
    • I have 2 mail accounts, Gmail and the other of my company mail.. With both I can not see the sent mails in the folder.

    Problems with New Outlook:

    • I could add my gmail account, but can not add my company email account as I am getting some error message, while configuring.
    • Here I can see all my sent mails showing in the sent items folder !!! only for gmail.
    • The company email account, I am not able to add, even after giving all password and correct incoming and outgoing mail server details.

    Kindly guide me if the reasons are known.

    Dear Froilance

    It happens that outlook is not integrating tools in efficient uses. I experienced similar situations and tried your suggestions but still didn't work. Now... using seperated domains of my hotmail outlook and Gmail because of "sent missing Items". But thanks for your try.
