Hi There,

I just have a quick question to ask. Is there a way of setting up a rule that would save sent items in a folder other than 'Sent Items'.

The reason I ask this is because every day I send reports via email to another office and I would like to keep them for reference. I have tried setting up a rule but that seems to only work on incoming email.

I need to find a way to setup a rule for outgoing email. If there is a way to setup a rule that would say something like, when i send an email with X in the subject and being sent to Y recipients, place email in XY folder not Sent Items.

I hope that makes sense.

Kind Regards
Nathan

If you are using Outlook you can create a rule that checks messages after sending. In the rules wizard under the heading "Start from a blank rule" there should be an option ti "Check messages after sending". From there you can set the criteria and actions to take.

If you aren't using Outlook or this isn't quite clear, please let me know. Hope this helps. Thanks.

Thank you for this. I tried setting up the rule from the email itself and that didn't work. Now that I set it up thru the Tools option it looks like it is working.

Thanx again
