I'm using Outlook XP. I have the following rule to move sent messages to
specific folders:

Apply this rule after I send the message
with (e-mail address removed) in the recipient's address
move a copy to the sent folder

The rule is run on my Sent Items folder manually. I want to run it about
once a week. When I run the rule, nothing happens. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Brett
 
It works whe you run it manually? I would think that
it's not working because if it's applied to your Sent
Items folder there's nothing going on there. If you apply
it to the Outbox or maybe even the inbox so it catches
replys as well it should work automatically.
 
Actually, it works if I use it "after a message has arrived". The sent
items folder contains messages that have arrived, not "after sending".
After sending applies more to the outbox. You can think of Sent Items as
messages that have arrived from the Outbox.
