imap sent issue

[John Smith]

Hello,

Rule description:
Apply this rule after I send the message
through the IMAP account
and on this machine only
move a copy to a the Sent folder

but it doesn't work... instead all of my messages ending up in "Sent Items"
under my Personal Folders...

why?

First, you have to disable the option to keep copies of your messages in
"Sent Items" (Tools>Options>E-mail Options). Then yuo have to make sure
there is a "Sent" folder on the IMAP server and that, when you create the
rule that you actually choose that folder. I tried it and it works for me.
