Outlook 2003 - Sending Email

Keep Sent E-Mail in a Different Folder

SUMMARY: File sent e-mail to more clearly labeled folders in Outlook 2003.


 

Normally, Outlook 2003 keeps copies of your sent mail in the "Sent Mail" folder. There may be times, however, where you want to file an e-mail message to a different folder, such as "Status Report", "Meeting Reminder", "Agenda", or whatever. To make this change:

1. While composing an e-mail message, click "Options".

2. When the "Options" dialog box appears, make sure "Save sent message to" is checked.

3. Click the "Browse" button next to the aforementioned checkbox, and choose the folder where you want the message saved.

4. Click "Close" to close the dialog box.

As soon as you send your e-mail message, it will be filed away to the folder of your choosing and not "Sent Items".
