My mail client can sync sent mail, independent of method used to send email (iphone, mail client, browser). But I'm finding that Alpine is only saving my sent mail that is sent using Alpine. How do I get Alpine to sync all sent mail? Thanks in advance.

Below are some setting.

User Domain  = <No Value Set>

SMTP Server (for sending) = smtp.host.com/submit/novalidate-cert/user=name@company.com

Inbox Path = {imap.host.com:993/ssl/novalidate-cert/user=name@company.com}inbox

Incoming Archive Folders          = <No Value Set>

Pruned Folders                    = <No Value Set>

Default Fcc (File carbon copy)    = <No Value Set: using "sent-mail">

Default Saved Message Folder      = <No Value Set: using "saved-messages">

Postponed Folder                  = <No Value Set: using "postponed-msgs">

Read Message Folder               = <No Value Set>

Form Letter Folder                = <No Value Set>

Trash Folder                      = <No Value Set: using "Trash">

Literal Signature                 = <No Value Set>

Signature File                    = <No Value Set: using ".signature">

To make Alpine use the same Sent folder that other email clients use, you would have to set the Default Fcc (File carbon copy) folder (where Alpine copies sent mail) to a folder on your IMAP server. Something like this:

{imap.host.com:993/ssl/novalidate-cert/user=name@company.com}Sent

Here's the Alpine documentation:

This value specifies where a copy of outgoing mail should be saved. If this is not a path name, it will be in the default collection for saves. Any valid folder specification, local or IMAP, is allowed. This default folder carbon copy only applies when the "Fcc Name Rule" is set to use the default folder. Unix Alpine default is normally "sent-mail" in the default folder collection.

If you access your email through an IMAP server, especially if you often switch between Unix Alpine and PC-Alpine, or between various desktop email systems, you may want to set this to a folder on your IMAP server (remember that in order to later access this remote folder through Alpine, it must be in a folder collection. See Folder Collections Explained for more information).
