How to change default sent folder location

[Aric]

I have configured two email accounts in Outlook. One using Exchange client and another POP3 account which is set as default. When I sent any email from Exchange client account, I want that email to appear in my personal sent folder and not in Exchange client folder.

I have setup a rule with 'move a copy' to personal Sent folder. The issue is that all the emails which are 'moved' from Exchange Sent folder to personal Sent folder are marked as 'unread'. Is there any way to show them as 'Read'

or is there any way to change the default Sent folder from Exchange client to Personal Sent folder

Thanks..

No.

No, or at least not without changing all the other default folders to the PST
as well and then all your Exchange items will wind up in the PST instead of
the mailbox.

Office emails are connected through Exchange client. All I have there is Inbox and Sent items. How can I change the default folders for both to point to my POP3 mail account's Inbox and Sent folders. .

There's no way in creation that this can be true. If you're using Outlook,
then you also MUST have "Outbox", "Drafts", "Calendar", "Tasks", "Journal",
"Contacts", "Search Folders", "Deleted Items", "Junk E-mail", "Notes", and
"Sync Issues" as well. Outlook ALWAYS has all those folders in an Exchange
mailbox.

How can I change the default folders for both to point to my POP3 mail
account's Inbox and Sent folders.

In an Exchange environment, this is unwise, as you will lose many of the
benefits of using Exchange. If you decide to do this, though, change your
delivery location in your mail profile.
