How to set up prompt to save or not save messages being sent

[Arneberg]

My company has just changed from Lotus Notes to Outlook 2007, and now i'm
looking for a way to set up Outlook to ask me wether or not i want to save a
message that i'm sending.

I often send messages with large attachments, but our company has a size
limit to every employees mailbox, which i hit very fast if every message i
send is auto-saved. So i usually don't want (or need) to save these
automatically. On the other hand, some messages are crusual, so they have to
be saved.

So i'd love to have my old Notes prompt "Do you want to save this message?
Yes / No" to appear in Outlook. Is that possible?

If not, Microsoft, please please include this feature in future updates...

Outlook doesn't prompt. It's usually an all or nothing proposition. You can,
however, set a message to save or not save while composing it here: Options
ribbon, click "Save Sent Item" and choose the option you want.

Aww... That sucks! I just tried this "work around", and it's not only time
consuming - i'm sure that i will also forget to do this 9 out of 10 times.

So i'm down on my knees as i repeat my prayor: Please please, Microsoft,
include this feature in an update in a not-so-distant future!

This code approximates what you seek:

Well, yes and no... The code gives me the opportunity to choose a different
folder than the default "Sent Items"-folder to save to, which can be very
comfortable.

But it doesn't give me the opportunity to NOT save at all. Even if i choose
"Quit" in the "select folder" dialogue window, Outlook still saves the mail
to the "Sent Items"-folder. I'm missing a "do not save at all"-button or
function, so close - but not quite...

 

[Arneberg]

Thanx a lot for your effords. I really appriciate that. However, after
testing the code you reffered to in my Outlook, the result is the same as i
have described in my answer to Brian Tillman: I can now choose a different
folder then the default "Sent Items"-folder to save to - but i still can not
choose to not save the mail at all... :-(

However, this makro, created by a co-worker of mine, solves the problem spot
on:

Private Sub Application_ItemSend(ByVal Item As Object, Cancel As Boolean)

svar = MsgBox("Vil du gemme beskeden?", vbYesNo, "Gem mail")

If svar = vbNo Then
Item.DeleteAfterSubmit = True
Else
Item.DeleteAfterSubmit = False
End If

End Sub

A co-worker of mine came up with this makro, and it solves my problem spot-on:

Private Sub Application_ItemSend(ByVal Item As Object, Cancel As Boolean)

svar = MsgBox("Vil du gemme beskeden?", vbYesNo, "Gem mail")

If svar = vbNo Then
Item.DeleteAfterSubmit = True
Else
Item.DeleteAfterSubmit = False
End If

End Sub

Thanx again for your effords!
