By default mut doesn't save sent messages. You can add a set
record=+sent line to your .muttrc and then sent messages will be saved
in your mail folder (by default ~/Mail) in a file called sent.

Yes, look at the record variable in .muttrc.  If not present, set it
to a mail folder to kept sent messages.  For example, I keep all my
mail on my local imap server so I say 
set record="+sent-mail"
The + sign is used for IMAP folders.  Note this is for mail that is
successfully sent if it gets handed off to your MTA (ala sendmail or
exim ...), Mutt won't have it any place unless you set this variable.
Not sure what mutt does for sure without it.

HTH.
