I am using Outlook 2010 for my gmail emails which use IMAP I can set the system to store sent emails in the appropriate sent folder. For another account which uses POP3 I can't configure outlook to save sent emails in the sent items folder. the options seem to be diferent for IMAP and POP3 – Is there anything I can do about this other than manually savings emsils every time I send them?

I noticed that if you have a POP3 account you will need to choose the option Deliver Messages to as 'New Outlook Data file'.
Create the account :
If you choose the option 'Existing Outlook data file' for Deliver Messages to and choose an existing .pst file the sent messages do not get saved in the Sent folder. I deleted the account and set up a new account with the same configuration but put the Deliver Messages to as 'New Outlook Data file'.
It created a new outlook file and saved sent items to the sent folder in the new .pst file which is by default created under you user profile in C:
Note that the option for 'Deliver Messages to' is visible only while creating the POP3 account. Once the account is created the option goes away.
