Store Sent Messages in Folder other than Sent Items By default, Outlook 98 saves a copy of each message you've sent inside the Sent Items folder. (That is, assuming you haven't selected Tools, Options, clicked the E-mail Options button, and deselected Save Copies Of Messages In Sent Items Folder.) However, if you prefer to keep specific sent messages in a folder of their own, you can do that, too. For example, suppose you'd like to keep personal messages separate from work-related ones. First create a new folder for storing them: Press Ctrl-Shift-E; type a name for the folder, such as Personal; select the parent folder; then click OK. You must place each sent message in this new folder on an individual basis. After composing a message (but before you click Send), click the Options button. Under Delivery options, click the Browse button, select the desired destination folder, then click OK. Click Close and send the message as usual. Check inside your new folder, and there's the message. If you prefer to automate this process, you can do so using the Rules Wizard, but only if you know something specific about the message you want to store in a certain folder. For example, you might opt to store all messages sent to a particular e-mail address in a given folder. Select Tools, Rules Wizard and click the New button. Select Move Messages I Send To Someone. Then, one at a time, under Rule Description, click each of the highlighted items (People Or Distribution List and Specified), select the appropriate option, and click OK. Click Finish, then click OK. From now on, sending a message to the specified address will place a copy of it in the specified folder. (Tip in a Tip: A copy of the message will also appear in the Sent Items folder unless you do the following: After composing the message but before you click Send, click the Options button, deselect Save Sent Message To, then click Close.)
