Sent mail Rule AFTER mail leaves outbox

[ozaz]

I use an after sending rule to move copies of sent mail to an IMAP folder.
The rule runs immediately (as soon as I press send in the compose window).

Actually, it would make far more sense if the rule actually ran after the
mail leaves the outbox. Why? Because sometimes you will decide to edit or
cancel the sending of a mail whilst it is in the outbox.

Is there a way to setup a rule to move a copy of an email to a specified
folder when it leaves the outbox (as oppose to when you hit send in the
compose window)?

You can set the save folder in the options of a message while composing.
Other than that; you'll have to look into creating a custom VBA solution.
