Sent Items from 2 accounts

Phil Preen

I have two email accounts, one is Microsoft Exchange Server, the other is
POP3. However messages sent through both acounts all end up in the same Sent
Items folder. How can I set-up a second Sent Items folder to keep the two
sets of messages separate?
Thanks,
Phil.

You can set up any folder you wish, but you'd have to use rules to move the
sent items to where you wish, I believe. What version of Outlook?

Thanks for the response. Creating the folders is no problem. The
problem is how to have the sent items automatically stored separately.
I have successfully created rules to move new incoming mail into
separate folders, but OL2003 will not let me create a similar rule for
sent items. It will allow a copy rule, but not a move. I guess I could
set-up two rules, one for each account to copy messages into two
separate folders, but I would still have both sets of messages in the
main Sent Items folder in Exchange. This is what I am trying to avoid,
as I need to make Sent Items shared, so that other people in the
company can see my messages, but I don't want them to be able to see
personal messages sent through my personal (pop3) account.
I was wondering if there is a better way, rather than using rules,
possibly using multiple PST files or something? Alternatively I could
probably write something in VBA, but I don't have much experience with
VBA for Outlook.
