What's the difference?

I just sent email from my W8 tablet and it's in the Outbox. That's the only email there. But Sent has all previous emails I've sent
 
re:

It's similar how a printer spools documents so if your sending multiple emails they queue up in the the outbox. The process is essentially like this

  • Once the server acknowledges the request & authenticates said request
  • Data is sent to the mail server from client (your tablet)
  • Once the data gets sent completely it is moved to your sent items.

Basically the out box is the digital version of the out-tray (mail ready to be sent out) and the inbox the digital version of the in-tray (received mail).

In laymen terms, this how the outlook desktop app behaves and therefore the app mimics this behavior thus is completely normal.
