Set Eudora to use IMAP as well.

Christian.

POP retrieves mail only from primary system mailboxes.

Simultaneous use of POP and IMAP on the same account
is usually not recommended.

Why not use IMAP at home, too?

You can always copy mail from remote mailboxes to local mailboxes,
if you want local copies.

If "Sent mail" itself is only on your traveling computer,
then copy it to an IMAP folder on the server,
where you can find it using "home" computer.

It is also possible to use POP exclusively, leaving mail
on POP server for long enough time that both computers
can download the same incoming mail; "Bcc" can be used
to mail onself a copy of outgoing messages, if desired.

I personally decided to have my ISP unconditionally
forward all my incoming messages to a Gmail account,
to which I point Eudora using POP for downloading it
(or, Gmail can also retrieve POP mail by itself,
leaving it on the POP server by default for other download);
this gives me a permanent place to visit using *any*
computer, anywhere, in case I want to do some work
while traveling.  If I used Gmail's free SMTP as well,
then copies of my outgoing messages would automatically
also be kept at Gmail (though I use local SMTP and just Bcc to myself).

Maybe this isn't quite what you want, and maybe I'm stating the obvious,
but: while on the web browser interface, move the sent-mail to the inbox.

I have a similar problem & solve it this way:

I have set up a mail forward with a domain that I own, for example,
<auto_bcc_myself@mydomain.com>. This is set up to direct to my own
normal POP/mail email address. My web browser email interface is set up
to automatically bcc all outgoing emails to this
<auto_bcc_myself@mydomain.com> address & a copy of the email therefore
gets sent into my normal inbox. At home, Eudora will pick up this copy
along with the other messages in the inbox.

Then, I have a filter set up in Eudora to find all incoming messages
with headers which identify them as having gone through this redirection
service, eg. any header contains "auto_bcc_myself@mydomain.com". This
filter is set to Make Status to "Sent" and Server Options "Fetch" &
"Delete".

Thus, you can then archive this message anywhere you want in Eudora & it
will appear like any other Sent message, in italics, etc.

A folder structure in a server-side mail store is an IMAP construct.
POP3 has no support for anything but a single list of messages on the
server.

One way around that using Eudora could be to set up another personality
accessing the same account using IMAP. That personality could see the
"Sent-mail" and you could copy those to local folders.
