Regards Ashwani Why not BCC it to your self, and then setup a filter in your email client to move it where ever you want it to be. Maybe because not everyone uses mail clients that have a filter functionality? well, if he is wanting the message to be placed in the outbox or sent folder of his email client, and this client is on his workstation and the sent folder is accessed via IMAP, nor is it via a web client, then his only option is to have his email client filter a message to the sent folder. POP3 picks up new messages from your inbox. IMAP allows you to have folders on/in the mail server file structure, but the mail server would then need a filter (ie: procmail) to move the new message over to the correct folder. So, no matter what type of solution he comes up with, something, either his client or the mail server will need to have a filter created to move the message to the correct folder. Now, I guess you could completely sidestep all security and with proper setting have php write the email to the correct folder in the persons sent box. And he could then access it via IMAP and/or a web based email client. But, this would require that php process have file level access to the folder which his mail directory resides. -- Jim Lucas http://www.cmsws.com/ http://www.cmsws.com/examples/ http://www.bendsource.com/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

You can change the settings of sendmail
http://www.devshed.com/c/a/Administration/Getting-Started-with-Sendmail/12/
OR
You can log text or database each email.
$query = INSERT INTO mail_log (`subject`,`to`,`from`,`message`,`mail_date`)
values ('.mysql_real_escape_string( $subject ).',
'.mysql_real_escape_string( $to ).', '.mysql_real_escape_string( $from
).', '.mysql_real_escape_string( $message ).', '.date(Y-m-d H:i:s).')
