Cannot Find Sent Message

[azpostlady]

I mistakenly moved a message in my Sent folder, that had not been replied to, to My Folder 1.  I wanted to move that message now in My Folder 1 back to my Sent folder and when I clicked on Move To, these were the options:  Inbox, Trash, Archive, and Save Messages.  There was no Sent option, so I clicked on Inbox--I know that does not make sense, but it I did it anyway--and now I cannot fined that message anywhere; it is not in the Inbox, the Sent folder, the Trash folder, the Archive folder, nor My Folder 1.  Where did that message go and how can I get it back to my Sent folder?

I recreated your steps using a message in my Sent folder.

When I was done, the message did appear in my Inbox -- it was the only message in my Inbox that was from me. You may have to look around for it if the message is old, as the Inbox is sorted by the original date of the message.

Hello eburtonlab.  You are right, I did find the message in my Inbox folder and it was in chronological order...thank you.  I am at a loss as to explain how I did not find it, other than I was looking for the seller's eBay username and not my eBay username like I should have been.  Because none of the options under Move To include the Sent folder, how do I move the message from my Inbox folder back to its original location in my Sent folder were it belongs?

If there is a way to move a message back into the sent folder, I have not found it.

Your best bet may be to create a new folder, call it "Sent 2" and move the message there instead.
