Another MS Outlook question

I have my MS Outlook 2013 going very well, again but I still haven't
figured out how to get it to automatically place my outgoing e-mail
messages in the folder that I've assigned for that person who is to
receive the message.

I have the incoming messages going to the assigned folder and this
works okay but when I send a response the sent message is always in
the Sent Items folder. How can I set things up such that these
outgoing messages will be placed in the appropriate folder without
having to do this manually every time? Gordon

I haven't tried this myself, but you could try enabling one or both of these
features:

Check this one:
"When replying to a message that is not in the Inbox, save the reply in the
same folder."

Uncheck this one:
"Save copies of messages in the Sent Items folder."

These features are in Options, Mail, and then in the Save Messages section.

Thanks, Char. I did these two things and will wait and see if it works
the way I've been trying to get it to work. Gordon

You'll need to use a rule to move the messages from the Sent folder to
another folder. (Fyi...the Sent folder is capable of having subfolders)

Your rule would take the form
Sent from you and sent to 'your recipient' then move to 'folder of
your choice' and stop processing more rules.

It might be wise when moving something after a send/receive to set the
rule as the last rule in the entire list of rules (i.e. performs last).

Thanks to all who have responded. I think I have this cluster of
problems resolved. I had to delete all the old Manage Rules & Alerts
settings then start over from scratch, setting up new Message Rules.
These seem to be doing what I was hoping for. Gordon
