    This seems to be a bug in WLM 2011. I've sent some test emails to myself, and when I click on the Send button, (1) briefly appears next to Outbox. I then do a manual Send/Receive and my test email comes through, so I know that it is sending and receiving as it should. What it isn't doing, however, is saving a copy of the email in the Sent items folder, even though the options clearly show Save copy of sent messages in the 'Sent Items folder as checked.

    Edit: Just noticed that there are 2 Sent items folders. Are you checking the correct one? The one you should be checking is the one highlighted in the image below:

    Ok, so you can send and receive Emails sent to yourself and the one you sent ended up in the Sent folder as it should. But when you send email to others, they do not go to the sent folder and the recipient does not receive them. Umm very strange. Instead of inserting the recipients address via the To: button and then choosing from the address book, try manually inserting the address and sending.
    Get back.

    Hopefully someone who is more familiar with WLM 2011 can jump on board and assist you.
    Sorry I could not solve your issue.

    Your email settings are correct, since you have proved that you can send and receive an email that you sent to yourself. Are you sure that you have got the correct email address? Check that you haven't mistyped it, particularly if it contains letters that can easily be confused with numbers and vice-versa (e.g. 1 with l, o with 0 and 5 with s etc).

    But have you got the correct email address? Try entering it manually.
