Phone email account not properly synchronising with email server.

Usually sorts itself out over time. If not, check you are using the most up to date email server settings on your phone from your email hosting provider/ISP.

If you are accessing the same email account from another device - e.g. from a tablet, laptop or desktop computer then it’s far better to setup mail clients using the IMAP email protocol (on all devices) for access as the server email account will then be properly synchronised, across all devices. Unlike using the POP3 email access protocol, which just sucks down email messages, simply based on which device connects first.

Glitches,or software issues is it?

Specific messages or all messages that you're having issues with?

Is it just "sent" items or other folders too?

Are the "missing" items showing in other devices and webmail interface?

Do they stay missing or do they eventually appear after some time? Without revealing any personal info - who is your email provider that you're having issues with?

So if you send an email from your phone, then mostly sent emails show up in the sent folder on the phone, but some do not?

My gut instinct is that you have an issue with folder synchronisation. As said earlier ALL devices accessing the same email account should really be using IMAP for access / folder synchronisation. This enables the "sent" folder to hold a copy of the message, even if the original email was not sent from that specific device.
