Q: HOW CAN I AUTOMATICALLY SAVE A COPY OF ALL MY OUTGOING MAIL IN ELM?

A: To automatically save a copy of outgoing mail sent from Elm, you need to make some modifications to your ~/.elm/elmrc file. If this file does not yet exist on your account, you can create it by entering Elm and pressing o to enter the options screen followed by a > to save. The elmrc file will then be created.

You need to modify the following section of your elmrc file:

     # save a copy of all outbound messages?
     ### copy = OFF
Remove the "### " before "copy" and change "OFF" to "ON":
     # save a copy of all outbound messages?
     copy = ON
You can then save the file. All mail you send from Elm will now have a copy saved in a "sent" folder. To access this folder from Elm, type c to change folders, followed by =sent when prompted for the name of the folder you wish to change to.
