Because you send the emails outside of your (default) email program, that program can't copy the message to its own "Sent" folder. Each email program saves emails in its own format and its own location, no matter if it is a local (desktop) or online (web-based) email program. Email programs retrieve emails from one (or more) mail servers -- usually using the POP3 or IMAP protocols -- and store them locally (or online) for you to read. They also (usually) save copies of the emails that you send. But if the email is sent from a different email program, they can't save a copy in their own "Sent" folder. >Can anybody say me any idea for see this message in sends. You could send your emails using your (default) email program through MAPI or ActiveX, instead of using SMTP directly. Alternatively, you might be able to just copy the email into your (default) email program's "Sent" folder using MAPI or ActiveX. But the simplest way would be to use a BCC (Blind Carbon Copy) header to send the email with the SMTPClient() also to yourself, and to have your (default) email program setup to automatically move those emails to its "Sent" folder (and to mark them as read). Most email programs can be setup to automatically categorize and save emails in specific folders, based on the sender(s) and other criteria, like the Subject. You apparently use "Microsoft Windows Live Mail" as your default email program, and I have no idea how to set this up or configure it, but I hope this helps you at least somewhat.
