Windows 7 operating system, windows live mail does not save sent emails even though the box is checked to save sent emails in “sent folder.” Is there a fix?

Windows 7 Operating System.  I just purchased a new laptop, downloaded Microsoft Windows Live Mail and installed an email account.  The only issue I have is Live Mail is not saving my sent messages.  I checked the options folder and under the "send" tab the box is checked to save sent items to "sent folder."  Is there another place I can fix this issue?
