I have two e-mail accounts configured in Outlook. One exchange server
(primary) and a POP account (secondary). Everything works great except one
thing. Whenever I select to send a message through the POP account, the sent
item is saved in the sent folder of the exchange account, not the POP
account. I have searched everywhere and cannot find an answer. Can anyone
help?

POP accounts and Exchange accounts always share the default folders. POP
accounts don't get their own set.
 
Thanks for letting me know, but why does the POP (Personal Folders) account
display another complete set of folders similar to the default group?

Because you added another set? In a single mail profile where there are
multiple POP accounts, or both Exchange and POP accounts, there is only one
set of default folders. Although you can create as many folder sets as you
want, only one of those sets is the default set, which is specified in the
profile properties. For Outlok 2002/2003, click Tools>E-mail Accounts>Next
and examine the "Deliver new e-mail to the following location" drop-down at
the bottom left. That's where your set of default folders will reside.

Now, if you have more than one mail profile on your computer, each profile
will have its own set of default folders, but you generally won't see one
profile's folders in another profile.
