Filing Sent Items from a Specific User

D

DaveyC

I have 2 e-mail accounts that I send e-mail from on the same Outlook session
and I use the Account drop down to toggle between addresses. I have set up
the accounts so that e-mail received from each is delivered to separate
folders.

What I can not work out how to do is to file Sent Items to different folders
based upon the e-mail address I sent them from. I have looked in the Rules
section but can not seem to fathom how to get it to do this.

Any help much appreciated

Hi Diane

It is the original Sent Item that I want to file separately dependent on the
e-mail address I use to initiate it. At the moment all the Sent Items go
into one sent items folder regardless of which e-mail address I use. I then
manually drag Sent Items from one e-mail address into another folder. My
question is whether this drag and drop filing can be done automatically?

I have the receive side of things just how I want it.

David

how about tools, options, email options, advanced options - in folders other
than inbox, save replies with original? This puts replies in with the
incoming mail.

Tools>Rules and Alerts>New Rule>Start from a blank rule>Check messages after
sending>Next. The "through the specified account" condition and the "move a
copy to the specified folder" action (where the specified folder is the Sent
Items folder you want to hold the outgoing mesages for that account) should
accomplish what you want. You'll need to create two of these rules, one for
each account, and you;ll need to DISABLE the option to keep copies of
outgoing messages in the Sent Items folder.
