Rules - "Moving" Sent Items to sub-folder within the Sent folder

[Shane R. Pouch]

I have created a rule that makes a copy of any email message that is sent
through a specified account. The rule works just fine. However, I end up
with 2 identical messages - one in the Sent folder and one in the sub-folder
within the Sent folder where the rule makes the copy.

What I would really like the rule to do is to MOVE the message from the Sent
folder to the sub-folder within the Sent folder instead of making a copy.

As it stands, I still have to manually delete the original message - which
is really no different than not having the rule at all, and just manually
moving the message to the sub-folder within the Sent folder.

The question is: Why isn't there a MOVE comand within the Rules Wizard when
dealing with outgoing messages when there is for incoming messages?

Any guidance will be greatly appreciated!!

Totally agree! I need this as well, and it's very annoying that such a
simple thing isn't available.
