Outlook 2000 Rules Wizard: handling sent mail

Hello -

I am trying to set up outlook 2000 rules to MOVE mail sent
by me from the SENT folder - into a subdivided folder.
This works - but it leaves a copy of the mail in SENT.

Ideal situation. MOVE sent message to Folder and remove
it from SENT. How can I faciliate this?

thanks

Click to expand...

Then add "Delete it" as an action to the rule. A Move action is actually a
copy.

Interesting - so the Rule to "copy" sent will work - but
it won't get saved.

Might be overkill - but might be good.

thanks!

Brian - when using the rule "after sending" - the delete
choice is NOT available. It is, for mail coming in.

I could see setting save off on sends - then setting up
rules based on subject - with a stop process after each -
then a final rule that says if sent my ME - move to a
misc folder.

this might work???

The "moved" message becomes marked as unread (bold) in the folder it is
copied to; is there a way to also automatically mark it as read?

I have not found the ability to mark moved, sent mail as read, even in
Office 2003.
A curious oversight. I wonder why it is marked unread in the first place?
They must think I composed it with my eyes shut.
