Messages not saves in the correct Sent Items Folder

L

Laser

I have several email accounts on my computer. One is my work account and is
a local IMAP account and others are POP mail or HotMail accounts

When I use Outlook Express all my sent messages are saved in the Sent Items
folder for the account that was active.

But when I use OutLook 2003 and I send a message from my work (IMAP) account
it is always saved in the Sent Items folder in Local Files. How can I get
theses to be saved in the Sent Items in the correct Folder?

Thanks in advance

Outlook will also save the sent email to the "Sent Items" folder of the
default mailbox for the profile. To circumvent this, you will need a third
party utility

I may be doing something wrong. But that didn't work. I created a new
profile and my messages are still be saved in the "personal files" sent
items folder instead of the Sent Items folder of the active (default)
account.



What am I doing wrong?



Thanks,

Go to Tools, Email accounts, click Next and look at the setting at the
bottom "Deliver new e-mail to the following location" what is that set to?

Thanks for the follow-up.



It says "Personal Folders". This is the only option on the dropdown menu.



Thanks for your help.

Hey! That of course if the problem but I am not sure why you can't change
it. Are you connecting to an Exchange server? What protocol is Outlook
using?

No, we are not connected to Exchange server. We are connected to a local
email server (MDaemon) over our local network using IMAP.

Thanks,

Mike
