How to save emails sent through PHP's mail() function to the sent email folder

zzzwb

I used PHP's mail() function to send emails, and emails can be received normally. However, when I log in to the webmail client, I cannot view the email information I sent using the mail() function in the sent email folder. What should I do to save the sent emails to the sent email folder? Please help me

zzzwb SMTP (mail() is a wrapper for sendmail, which use SMTP protocol) is not a protocol that do anything with your INBOX, it's just sending an e-mail.
For saving sent message you can use https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.imap-append.php - it can save your e-mail in chosen folder.

So first:
mail() (check if send is successful)
Then:
imap_append() (save the message)

You can also put it in your database like @yucho said.

zzzwb The Serv00 webmail client will only store emails sent or received through it to the database, while emails sent via the PHP mail() method will not be stored in the database. However, you can create your own database and store messages by recording information about the sent emails after calling the mail() function.
