My hotmail account doesn’t seem to be working properly

Up until about a month ago when I sent an e-mail a copy would go to the "sent" file, if I deleted an e-mail it would go to the "deleted" file and if I failed to complete an e-mail message it would go to the "draft" file. Something changed about a month ago and no longer do messages go to those files, rather they just seem to disappear so I no longer have a record of what I sent, what I didn't complete or what I deleted.  I also notice than when I (now) go to the "photos" file there are numerous old messages in it- I suspect, but don't know, these may be my sent messages. Something has changed with this process - not for the better - and I don't know why or how to correct it.
