558846 2007-06-13 21:44:00 I have found that I can create rules to enable certain incoming emails to go to appropriate folders in Outlook. However, is it possible to create a rule so that an email I originate, gets filed in an appropriate folder according to the person to whom it is addressed, and does not end up in the generic Sent folder? grant wright (12407)
558847 2007-06-13 22:40:00 You could send a copy to yourself using the BCC function of that message and then create a rule so that a incoming message that has your name in To with JoeBlogs gets sorted to JoeBlogs folder, etc.

I use the same using Outlook Express as I have a habit of deleting without checking what I am deleting from the default Sent folder.

I tried to create a rule that outgoing mail would leave a copy in a specific folder but maybe I never held my mouth the right way, ended up doing it the BCC way.

558849 2007-06-14 06:01:00 Hi there

in Outlook 2003 it is possible to create a rule where a copy of an email sent to a person or distribution list is saved in a folder created by you.

It will however still also be in the sent items folder.

Cheers
