I have 2 emails accounts in the Microsoft Outlook. say A and B
Email account B is used to forward emails that are received from a fax
server to respective staff.
So I want to separate these sent(forward) emails from the sent emails from
Email account A.
But I cannot MOVE sent emails (from email acccount B) to a specific folder.
You'll need to do two things: first, turn off the option to save sent messages
in the Sent Items folder. Second, create two rules. The first rule would
move a copy of all messages sent through account A to the folder you want to
contain outgoing messages for that account. Include the "stop processing more
rules" action as well. The second rule will move a copy of all messages sent
through account B to the folder you want to contain outgoing messages for that
account. It, too, should include the "stop processing more rules" action if
you ever add any more rules to the list.
The drawback to this approach is that the messages will be marked unread in
the folders targeted by the rules. If you don't like them marked that way,
you'll have to periodically right-click each folder and choose "Mark all as
read".
When My. Knyshov says it's "easy in Outlook 2007", I don't think he's correct
unless you're using an IMAP account. With an IMAP account, you can specify a
separate Sent Items folder for each account, but not for POP accounts. For
that type of account, you can only specify separate Inboxes for each account,
as far as I can tell.
