That *sounds* like IMAP, not POP behavior. Maybe *one* of these Outlooks
is configured as IMAP, and the other is POP?

Please provide *proof* of your configuration... output of postconf -n is
a good start, then screenshots of *both* of the Outlook Account Details
will also be necessary.

More confusion. POP is not used for sending mail, it is a protocol for
*retrieving* mail. SMTP is what is used for sending mail.

What is there to store for SENT mail?

Like I said, only much more detailed proof (not verbal descriptions) of
your current configuration will have any hope of clearing this up.
