OK, so some think that by apllying a rule to copy items to sent items folder
will do the work? It does do the work as long as you are online, if you
connect remotely and work offline (what usually the case is for remote
laptop users) then the rule does not work!!! (kind of trivial dont u
think?). Please do not propose to work online only...that would prevent you
from choosing what messages to download ... working online will
automatically downoad messages that u preview, those may be messages with
large attachments that u dont want to open remotely, laptop users dont have
spare bandwidth for such scenarios.

Even if it did work , I dont see why Outlook 2K3 has this limitation
compared to current Outlook express versions or previous Outlook versions.
Furthermore I dont see how a rule can replace or correct a major fault
(ADMIT IT!) in a software launched after the millenium....You are not
serious proposing a rule as an alternative to the previous configuration and
option of choosing the sent items folder. Can u imagine how much work this
is for an IT administrator who has to configure that rule in about say 60
laptops within an organisation? I mean, please, get serious...even PocketPC
2003 on PDAs does the think, and we can not configure Outlook 2003 to do it?

I am sure the genious redeveloping the way Oultook works witth IMAP folders
(what is the point of having additional pst's anyway) will not be that
happy....One of all networking priorities is SYNCHRONISATION, Outlook 2003
and its IMAP structure is exactly the opposite! Thank you!

I thought things should get better...not worse.
Thank you for your time.
Anyone any better solution to this?

TIA
