outlook 2003 sent items go to inbox

[Guest]

I use Outlook 2003 with 3 different accounts and I recently changed one of
them from POP3 to IMAP. Now, whenever I send messages on one of the other
accounts, half of the time the sent messages on that account goes back into
its inbox instead of into the Sent Items area.

I don't think IMAP accounts have a Sent Items folder unless you create one
and create a rule that copies the outgoing messages to it.

Thanks, Bri, it worked. I had never worked with the rules feature before.
It's rather fun to see all the different custom options you set. Now if you'd
just spell your name right...

Blame my mother.
