Keeping Replies In Subfolders?

C

Chadkett

I'm a new Mac Convert/Entourage user, previously Outlook user. Within
my inbox I create subfolders corresponding with clients and rules that
route client emails to their respective subfolders. In Outlook I used
to be able to have all of my replies sent to emails in clients'
subfolders kept in the clients subfolders. All replies automatically
go to the Sent folder and I can't figure out how to create a rule to
keep my replies in filed in the subfolders? Any help would be
appreciated.

Hi Chad

In the Rules dialogue box, on the extreme right of the buttons (POP >
IMAP etc) is one marked 'Outgoing' Set up your rules in there for each
person or thing you want to auto-filter your outgoing messages.

This is much more flexible than in Outlook, as you can mark the messages
with all sorts of tags as well as filing them.

One of the nicest things about Entourage is the ability to use applescripts
to customize features you want. You'll find lots of free scripts at
<http://scriptbuilders.net/> I used a script to insert the address below.
Insert Safari URLs.

File Reply in Same Folder X 2.0
<http://scriptbuilders.net/files/filereplyinsamefolderx2.0.html>

This script will save any reply you send out to the same folder as the
message to which you are replying. This is very useful when you have
different folders for specific correspondence. If you wish you could have
this same option for any folder as is offered by the Mailing List Manager
for mailing lists only, this script will enable it.

Just set up an Outgoing Rule to run this script:

<if ANY criteria are met>:

If <Subject > <Starts with> <Re:> -- * (! don¹t forget the colon)
<Mail Account> <Is > <[a POP account]> **
<Mail Account> <Is > <[another POP account]>
Š
Then
<Run Applescript> <[click ScriptŠ button: navigate to:]> File Reply in
Same Folder X

Full directions are in the ReadMe.
