Prompt for Move to Folder on Send

[jasoncw]

Is there an easy way to prompt to which folder to move a sent email? I tried
creating a rule, and that will only allow you to define a specific folder. I
would like for Outlook to prompt which folder to move it upon sending.

TIA

Jason

You can run a script with the rules wizard, which can call your procedure
that uses NameSpace.PickFolder to prompt the user where to move the message
to.

Never mind - I wasn't paying attention very well and later realized you need
to do this on send...

Sue, thank you very much. That accomplishes exactly what I needed.

I spoke too soon. This appears to work fine when I wish to send items within
the same Outlook file. However, it does not appear to work when I select a
folder within a different Outlook data file. Can the procedure be modified
to accomplish this? Thanks.

I haven't played with that code in quite a while. You should try taking out the check for whether the target folder is in the default store. If that doesn't work, you'll need to take a different approach, moving items after they land in the Sent Items folder. For that, you'd use the MAPIFolder.Items.ItemAdd event.
