sent mail

Messages already transmitted

Sent mail is the folder or category in an email system that stores copies of messages you've sent.

Most email clients automatically save outgoing messages here, creating a record of correspondence: I checked my sent mail to see exactly what I'd written.

The term functions as both a location and a collection—you can look in your sent mail or scroll through your sent mail.
