A:
You can change the Sent Items Folders properties so that it only displays sent items that are in your Mailbox, and ignores items you've filed in personal folders in your Cabinet.

Sent Items Folders Info:

GroupWise 6 Sent Items Folder: The Sent Items folder is a Find Results folder, which means a Find is performed when you click the folder and the results of the Find (all sent items) are displayed in the folder. If you delete an item from this folder, the original item remains in its original folder and redisplays the next time you open this folder.

Follow the instructions below on how to change the properties in the Sent Items Folder:

1. Right-click your Sent Items folder, then click Properties.
2. Click the Find tab.
3. In the Look In box, click the + next to your Mailbox name (usually your own name) to display all the folders in your Mailbox.
4. Deselect the Cabinet check box.

GroupWise 6.5 Sent Items Folder: The GroupWise 6.5 Sent Items Folder is now a system folder. All sent items reside in this folder unless they are moved to a folder other than the Mailbox or Calendar. If a sent item is moved to another folder, it no longer displays in the Sent Items folder.
