Why are my outgoing messages not being recorded in the Sent folder?

I have not given up on making SeaMonkey move a copy of an outgoing
message to my Sent folder...and I might have found my answer to my
problem. I took a look at Local Folders to see what clues the Sent file
might reveal, and this is what I found:
Name Date modified Type Size
Sent 6/4/2020 7:23 File 2,605,188 ...
Sent.mst 6/4/2020 7.23 MSF File 2 KB
I decided that the Sent folder was likely full, so I proceeded to rename
the two folders (OLD_Sent and OLD_Sent.msf). I then visited the the OLD
Sent and OLD Sent.msf Properties in order to make a new Sent and a new
Sent.msf folders like the original folders. Next, I created two new
folders in Local Folders (Sent and Sent.mst). Well, all seemed to be
going good at this point; so I sent a test message to myself to see if a
copy was placed in my sent file. I got the following window when I
attempted to send my test message:
Save Message
Your message was sent, but a copy was not placed in your sent folder
(Sent) due to network or file access errors.
You can retry or save the message locally to Local Folders/sent Local
Folders.
Retry Save Don't Save
My thinking was, the system just needs to find the new Sent - Sent.msf
folders and all would be working normally...thus, I clicked Save in the
above window. My next move was paying a visit to Local Files>Sent to
see my saved message...I could not find my message.
All of the above tells me that something has changed as a result of my
actions. I did not receive any "Save Message" window previously, when I
sent a message. I also learned that the Sent folder was stuffed (likely
to its limits) and could not hold another message. I also am not able
to find a way of opening the stuffed Sent folder to remove the overload
that exists.
I did notice that the original folders simply identified the type of
file as Sent and Sent.msf and the new folder identify is "Sent folder"
and "Sent.msf folder". I cannot figure out how to change the new
folders to look like the old original folders.
Well, there you you have a recap of my actions taken to activate storage
of my sent messages on my system. I can delete the new Sent and
Sent.msf folders and rename the the OLD_Sent and OLD_Sent.msf folders to
Sent and Sent.msf.

P.S. I continue to think about the other suggestions made in this
thread. Be assured that they are all very much appreciated at this time
of trying to make my computer work.
I always thought that email messages went into that accounts Sent folder
and not the Local Folders > Sent folder.
The Sent folder in Local Folders is where newsgroup messages I send get
placed.
That's the way my SeaMonkey works anyway.
The Sent folder in Local Folders is a computer folder.
You need to configure the email accounts "Copies & Folders" settings to
"Automatically place a copy in: "Sent" Folder on: Local Folders.
I always place the copy in the accounts Sent folder. It is the default
location.
