I have Windows Office 2019 and I use a Gmail email. I have tried to setup a folder in the Personal Folders of Office but without success.
I right clicked on the personal folder and from the dropdown I selected New Folder, renamed it to Sent Items. I then sent a test email to another email address.
The email I have sent appears in the Gmail sent folder. Although I have sent it from Office 2019, it does not appear in the Office sent folder I created.
Obviously I have done something wrong but can't figure out what that is. Any advice please?

that is the way Outlook works, it is just an email client program set to sync the email folders that are stored in gmail... Gmail itself is copying the sent email to it's own sent folder, which is then synced by outlook...
BTW "sent items" is probably a reserved folder name in Outlook, it may or may not like you actually creating one...

That sounds about right.
Just because you named a folder Sent doesn't mean the sent mails will go there.
Have a read
Saving mail
If you went online (gmail ) and looked you will find the folder you created under "labels" BUT it will still be empty. If you wanted a copy of the sent items you can copy to that folder, or should be able to make up a rule. To do that, go to the Sent Items folder, right click and create rules from the rule options.

The rest of your suggestion sounds like a good way to achieve what he wanted
When Archiving IMAP folders / Mail they actually save as .pst files. Done it many times with people whom have to much mail.
