Hi all, i used rules wizard to create sub folder in 'Inbox' and 'Move new messages from someone'. it works fine,,,but,, if i reply or forward mail the sent copy stays in this new folder instead of saving into 'sent items' folder. So how can i save sent items into the sent item folder from an inbox sub folder.

Mail i send from inbox saves copy to sent items, mail from subfolders doesn't. Help Please

You could build another rule that would automatically move all mail you send to the Sent Items folder (by checking mail after you send it and not setting any criteria).

hi paul@firstpeter this didn't quite work for me but it made me get to grips with rules wizard!
i did *by checking mail after you send it* but no criteria didn't help so i set *after i send this message - move copy to sent items* but it still saved a copy in the 'from folder' so - Tools / Options / email / advanced, "Save messages, in folders other than the inbox, save replies with original message" took off the check and it seems to be OK.
hope this helps someone else, enjoy the points anyway, thanks
