We're converting a large set of computing clusters to use Outlook for email,
hitting against our (iPlanet) IMAP server. The users will have their email
accounts setup automatically at each login, but we're running into trouble
with Outlook's default 'Sent Items' behavior, which would direct
copies-to-self to the local PST (which the user may well never see again).
We need to redirect sent mail to a folder in IMAP, so that users will not
have to manually recreate a 'copy to self' rule--or remember to send copies
to self--every time they send a message. It's easy enough to do this on my
own system--the trick is how to do it automatically, in a way that requires
no user intervention, in an environment where users are essentially logging
on for the first time, every time. We've thought about adding either a
filter rule or a bit of VBA code to the user's Outlook installation at
startup, but we're not sure how to proceed on either option. We're very
open to suggestions: can anyone offer or point us to any workable solutions?
