I keep having to check the box that makes sent messages get stored in the SENT folder every time I open Outlook Express 6. If I forget to go into the settings to check the box, I discover that my sent messages weren't saved. This happens EVERY time I get on Outlook. Why won't those settings stay permanently? Is it a virus?
