In office 2003 it is sposisble tos elect (within options) a non-default
folder for storing outgoing emails.

How do you do this in 2007

Thanks

No it's not. Outgoing mail is always stored in Sent Items unless you create a
rule to move a copy elsewhere.

Exactly the same way, except that with Outlook 2007 using an IMAP account you
can specify another folder (on the IMAP server) as the Sent Items folder.
 
Do you mean outgoing emails that are deferred and sit in the Outbox?
Do you mean storing your emails in a folder other than the Sent Items
folder?
 
Hello Kathleen; thank you.

folder
 
Please stay in the same thread else nobody knows what you're referring to.

Click View/Options in the email, there you can select any folder. And here
are a few VBA examples for that:

Hello Michael, thank you. I think your solution is what I am looking for...
hwoever do not understand where I enter the logic script(s) you are
suggesting, can you please hjelp me with this. Thx PeterO'
 
There is an option within Outlook to save a copy of the Sent email in the
same folder as the originally received email resides. If, for example, you
have rules directing various emails into various folders, you can use this
option to keep the sent item in the same folder as the email that was
replied to. Does this make sense? And does it cover what you want to do?
 
You need to copy one of the examples, open the VBA environment (alt+f11),
display the object browser (ctrl+r), double click 'ThisOutlookSession', and
paste the code into that module. Save and Close. Ensure via
Tools/Macro/Security that VBA will be executed, close Outlook and restart
it.
