| 628794 | 2008-01-09 20:26:00 | I've got a weird setup with Outlook 2007 which I'm using to manage multiple email accounts. Most are configured to use POP3 + SMTP, however I don't actually use that to retreive the mail, rather just to send messages using that address. By default, saved sent messages go into the "Sent Items" folder. How can I change it so that all saved messages go into a different folder on a different PST? You can do it with IMAP accounts, but I'd rather not set it up like that. |

| 628795 | 2008-01-09 20:51:00 | I think with pop accounts, you have to set one account as the default account for sending, so therefore all sent items will go to the folder of the default account. | SolMiester (139) | ||

All POP accounts will retrieve into the same folder, and store sent messages into the same folder under your "Personal Folders" file. What I actually want to do is to redirect my sent messages to an IMAP folder. |

| 628797 | 2008-01-09 21:43:00 | Not sure about outlook 2007, but 2003 can't do this - so to redirect my sent email to imap, I renamed my imap sent folder to match what outlook calls it (note you will also need to change this setting in the roundcube config). | Erayd (23) | ||
| 628798 | 2008-01-09 22:06:00 | Make a rule, altho whats the point, you dont want to use Imap. | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 628799 | 2008-01-09 22:18:00 | Cheers guys. I've just set up a rule which will copy all sent emails to the appropriate folder. | somebody (208) | ||
| 628800 | 2008-01-09 22:19:00 | Make a rule, altho whats the point, you dont want to use Imap. Because of what I'm doing, I don't really have a choice. |

| 628801 | 2008-01-09 23:19:00 | ...altho whats the point, you dont want to use Imap.Just out of curiosity, why do you say this? IMAP beats POP3 hands down performance-wise, you can get at your mail anywhere, and you can take care of backups on the server rather than worrying about them locally. POP3 is comparitively slow, is limited to a single PC, and you need to worry about backing up your local mail store. There are a lot of other differences, but those are the main ones that most people will care about. |
