Outlook Copies Replies to Inbox

[bhikku]

Outlook is sending me copies of my own emails. If I create an email it sends
it without a problem. If I reply to or forward emails it sends the message
and then puts a copy of it in my inbox. How do I shut that little feature
off? Or at least tell Outlook to put copies of replies and forwards in my
Sent Items folder.

Version of outlook? Type of email acct? are you sending yourself a copy or
is outlook putting the sent item in the inbox?

outlook has a setting that lets you store replies with the original, except
in the inbox... how many inboxes do you have in outlook?

tools, options, email options, advanced.

I have two IMAP email accounts.

Ah. Are you referring to the setting "In folders other than Inbox, save
replies with original message"? If I uncheck this then it will put all
outgoing emails in the Sent Items folder? I wasn't sure what that setting
was about. I thought it meant the replies would include the text of the
original message.
