Hi-
After hours of research, I have to wonder if it is actually the case that
the only ways to sort outgoing mail (by recipient) as it is sent are to:
1. Set a rule to COPY it, on sending, to a specific folder, resulting in
redundant copies of mail that you are trying to sort OUT of the Sent folder
remaing in the Sent folder, or
2. Unchecking the 'Save copies of sent items folder' in Tools|Option|Email
options, resulting in the loss of all sent mail for which you haven't set up
a 'move to folder' rule?
Of course, a few more items can be sorted by saving replies in the folder
with originals, but either way it seems like a huge hole in the rulles scheme.
I am trying to set up accounts for a client moving to Outlook from another
email program and the client wants outgoing mail appropriately sorted into
dozens of folders folders for her accounts.
I'm not that familiar with Outlook rules, but it seems bizarre that you
can't simply set up outgoing rules similar to incoming rules, i.e.,
individually, one at a time, as opposed to the blanket rules above. Am I
missing something here?
TIA
