How to delete specific sent messages using rules?

[Karina D]

I need to set up the rules for Outlook Sent Items box using rules. All the
sent messages that contain certain words in the subject should be deleted or
moved to a separate folder. Right now, I can only find "move a copy to a
specified folder" which does not do anything for me.
Help?..

What version of Outlook are you using? I know in 2007 you can customize rules
to your liking.

2003 version. I do realize that this version just doesn't give an option of
deleting or moving emails to a different copy without creating a copy, but I
was thinking may be there is a custom action that I can download to use it?..

I can't think of one if there is.

Via Tools / Options you may set not to save sent e-mails, and create a rule
to move a copy to whereever you want to.

Probably, this approach has one disadvantage: If Outlook for any reason
doesn't execute the rule, you don't have a copy of the sent message.
