I put ``(setq mail-archive-file-name "~/SENT.MAIL")'' in .emacs. Rmail
saves there. But it does not show sent messages in rmail-summary, it
shows only the incoming ones. Should I write ``(setq
mail-archive-file-name "~/RMAIL")'' or would it destroy my stored mail?
How do I fix this issue, please?

SENT.MAIL is a separate folder, you need to run Rmail on it as well.
You can do that by typing "i ~/SENT.MAIL RET" in Rmail. (I think you
will have to revert it to see the additional email messages you send
thereafter; or maybe turn on auto-revert there.)

No, that won't do what you want.

Typing "i ~/SENT.MAIL RET" in Rmail works -- thank you! -- but it shows
up as a separate list from the incoming messages. How do I make RMAIL
show all e-mail (both incoming and outgoing) in the one rmail-summary
that it generates when it starts?

You can't. Rmail makes a separate summary for each folder. (You
could try redirecting FCC to your INBOX, but I don't recommend that.)
If you want to see outgoing email as an incoming one, simply BCC
yourself on each email you send, and you will receive a copy in your
INBOX. This works regardless of what Rmail does.

You may have solved the problem long ago, but for what's it worth I have
(setq mail-archive-file-name (expand-file-name
"/path/to/a/directory/OUT"))
in my ~/.emacs, which FCC's all outgoing email to a file I call OUT. I've
done this for a couple of years without any problems.
