Look at my first reply. 5 AM EST. Are you hitting on all 8 at 5 AM?
The title was unclear. The post said absolutely nothing about Sent mail.
Give me a break.

With respect Russ, I don't think it could have been any clearer:
Original posters subject:
"outlook should let me move emails from SENT to a specific folder"
First paragraph of my first post:
"How do I do that? For SENT items (as requested by the OP), the option
is only to copy, not move. For a long time now I've wanted to move, not
copy, SENT messages to my IMAP SENT items folder, but OL insists on
keeping a copy in my local folders SENT Items folder too. The option is
definitely only to move a copy when checking after SENDING."
That's 5 references to sent in just 68 words!
Perhaps a case where speed reading actually slows things down, as we
end up going round in circles when it's not accurate?

In your first post it was not clear you were talking about mail you
are sending, so I was referring to mail you are receiving. Diane has
your scenario covered the best way I know how.

Well specifically IMAP in my case, as I said, but I'd also like to
know how in general I move, not copy, sent mail, as requested by the
OP?
If the question needs to be related specifically to POP3: How do I
create a rule that takes certain specific e-mails, and moves them to
a given folder, without keeping a copy in the Sent Items folder, and
yet leaves all other sent mail alone?
Mark
You need to clarify your post. About which mail transport are you
inquiring? IMAP is not like other mail transports. I have no
experience with it.

How do I do that? For sent items (as requested by the OP), the
option is only to copy, not move. For a LONG time now I've wanted
to move, not copy, sent messages to my IMAP sent items folder, but
OL insists on keeping a copy in my local folders Sent Items folder
too. The option is definitely only to move a COPY when checking
after sending.
OK, so I do see what's happening. The copy gets placed in the IMAP
folder correctly, but because I have a "Save a copy of sent" turned
on, that happens locally too. However I can't just turn it off,
because there are other accounts (POP3) where I DO want to keep a
local copy, and it's a global setting.
There are` other situations where I want specific sent mail moved,
yet always end up with two copies. For example:
Can I set up a rule that will keep defined sent mail with the
original message I'm replying to? OL has an option to keep all sent
mail with the original, but for some reason it only applies to
folders OTHER THAN Inbox, and it can't be targeted at specific
messages using a rule. It seems to me that to make any use of OL's
conversation grouping, I need to have replies kept with the
original, or I only see half the conversation?

Not true. The Rules Wizard has not changed and most certainly
allows messages to be moved, not just copied. Your rule is not
constructed correctly.

message It only allows copies to be moved to specific folders and not the
actual mail
itself - this creates unnecssary copies and makes everything
confusing. Can't
there also be a SIMPLE rules wizard like in outlook 2002? I find
this new
wizard too cumbersome and complex.
