Use IMAP Sent folder instead of local folder

[~~Alan~~]

Outlook 2003

I have an IMAP account and I want to start using Outlook 2003 so I can add
calendar functions to my daily grind.

When I configure my IMAP account, everything I send is saved to my local
sent items folder. How do I set things up to save to my IMAP sent items
folder?

thanks,

You'll need to create an rule to save outgoing messages to the IMAP server.

Yes, But I am having the issue where - the rule works fine when I am online,
but, when offline, and "send" messages (that are stored in the Outbox) and
then later reconnect to the network, hit "Send/Receive" so the Outbox
messages finally get sent...but then the rule doesn't work and doesn't copy
the message into the IMAP Sent folder. Help?
