Can someone fake an archived sent folder in Outlook? I have a screenshot showing someone's archived sent items and it shows an email I have never received. The headers on the columns also say "Received" instead of "Sent".
Can you fake that an email was sent? I have read that you can save the email then move the email into the Sent folder. Is this true?
Of course you can fake it. If you have control the desktop, then you can set it up any way you like, including with faked mails in Outlook.
Just how trivial that is depends on your goal.
But before you try this: Having an email in the 'sent' folder does not mean it has been sent. Even without trickery. It just means that Outlook tried to sent it. If it failed to do so (e.g. because you had no working network connection, or the server was flaky), then it still appears in the sent folder.
And even if everything worked as intended at your side, that does not mean the recipient received the mail. There is no guarantee on mail. Neither on email or paper-mail. You can test this if you want by posting a 1000 letters to people. In all likelihood a few will not arrive. Same for email.
(Please do not try this IRL unless you want to be marked as a spammer.)
