I recently lost my Gmail password and have had to sign up for a new account.
So what I was doing that worked well is to pull my work mail through Gmail.
Work mail is hosted with Domains.co.za

I have set up everything but I just noted something, my inbox on the server at domains has everything but for some reason, the sent items dont appear, so I am assuming that Gmail is not allowing them to be saved in the sent items folder.
The sent items will and do remain in "sent" in Gmail but on Domains server nothing is there.

Where would I change this?
Would it be on Gmail side or Domains? I cannot seem to find the solution
Any help would be appreciated

Thanks
 
Which STMP are you using to send your email? Is it GMail or Domains?

Most likely you have set GMail to collect your Domains email but your email client is either not setup to send via the Domains STMP or, if you have added Domains STMP to your mail client, you are not selecting Domains as the "sender" so Gmail is actually sending it.

BTW you do know that you can recover your GMail account even if you lost your password, never setup a recovery email address or phone number?

I have tried everything, cant remember the password for the recovery mail but have tried using my registered number , have tried filling in report, ave sent them numerous tweets, nothing, no luck and cant remember when I joined either
 
Please don't take this personally, but what you are doing is playing with fire. Get a proper email solution for your business, $5 via GSuit is really not that much and it gives you full control than GMail will ever give you.
 
Ok now back to original question. Why isnt my mail on my paid account , my business account keeping the sent mails? Only the incoming is being kept on my mail server (all mails pulled through gmail )

Assuming you have added the other email account to your email client and entered the correct SMTP settings for that account you can then select the account to send the email. If you don't set up another account it will default to sending via the GMail smtp.

The account is set up with its own SMTP and details, I can send from that name or account and people receive it from my work address etc etc but it doesnt show in the work server in sent items
