Messages sent via yahoo using javamail api not going to sent messages folder

Question

When i send messages from my yahoo address using javamail api, they don't go to the sent folder. What's the problem? Here's my source code:

public void doSendYahooMail(){
    from = txtFrom.getText();
    password= new String(txtPassword.getPassword());
    to = txtTo.getText();
    subject = txtSubject.getText();
    email_body = jTextArea1.getText();

    Properties props = new Properties();
    props.put("mail.smtp.starttls.enable", "true");
    props.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");
    props.put("mail.smtp.host", "smtp.mail.yahoo.com");
    props.put("mail.smtp.port", "465");
    props.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.port", "465");
    props.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.class", "javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory");

    Session session = Session.getInstance(props,
            new javax.mail.Authenticator(){
                @Override
                protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication(){
                    return new PasswordAuthentication(from, password);
                }
    }
    );
    try {
        Message message = new MimeMessage(session);
        message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from));
        message.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO,InternetAddress.parse(to));
        message.setSubject(subject);
        message.setText(email_body);
        Transport.send(message);

        JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this, "Message Sent!","Sent",JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);

    } catch (Exception e) {
        JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this, e.toString());
    }
}

what modifications do i need to make

If you want a copy in your sent messages folder, you need to put it there yourself. See the JavaMail sample program msgsend.java for an example.

Also, you'll want to fix these common JavaMail mistakes in your program.
