Multiple Email Accounts in Outlook 2007 - Sent Folder

[rfreschner]

I have set up 4 email accounts under one profile, each with its own data
file. All works well on the receiving side - email goes to its proper
folder. However, when I send an email, no matter the account, the saved copy
goes into the default email account's Sent Folder. I can (and have) set up
rules to move a copy of it to the proper account's Sent Folder when the email
is sent, but this doesn't delete the one in the default account's Sent
Folder. Unfortunately, there doesn't appear to be a Move instead of Move a
Copy command in the rules.

My question is - is there an easier way to do this that I'm missing?

TIA,

Rick

Thanks for the response DL. It looks like this code will pop up a window
asking you where you want to save the message you just sent. Although this
is helpful, what I'm really looking for is a way to automatically save the
message in the correct folder without my intervention. I would think that,
since a Sent folder is set up for each email account, Outlook would do this
automatically but, apparently, that's not the case.

The window pops up before the msg is sent

If you disable the option to save sent items in the Sent Items folder, then
the rule would move the messages, not copy them.

If they're IMAP accounts, then Tools>Account Settings>E-mail Accounts tab will
allow you to specify the Sent Items folder as well as the Inbox folder, but I
don't think that's available for other account types.
