WHy are my sent (gmail) emails suddenly not going into my 'sent' box on iPad and iPhone

up to recently, no problems : now I have to search for the sent emails - either on 'all emails' or 'important' boxes, even though they are not marked important!

Welcome to iMore! I just checked and I'm not having an issue. Depending on how long ago you set up your Gmail on your devices, Google may have change around some server settings and you may not be handling email properly. To alleviate the problem, iOS has now automated the process of setting up Gmail. Try these steps on both devices. If you want to try on one device first and see if it works go ahead. It can't hurt anything.
1. Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars
2. Tap on your Gmail account
3. Tap on Delete Account

4. Reply affirmatively to any confirmation you're asked to give
5. Return to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars
2. Tap on Add Account
3. Select Gmail
4. Enter your Gmail/Google login credentials
5. Send an email and see if it shows up in your Sent mailbox
Let us know how things turn out. Good luck!
