A rule to copy selected sent items to a specific folder

Hello
I want to copy some of my sent message to a specific folder when I send them (rather than dragging them across from my sent folder)

I know how to creat a new category, but don't know how to select a category for a message I am sending. Ideally this would be a simple click. Then I could create a rule so that all messages I'd given the relevant category would be sent to my specific folder. How do I do this please?

RE: a rule to copy selected sent items to a specific folder

Hi Liz

Try this - create a rule Tools > Rules Wizard > New > Start from a blank rule > check messages after sending

then next

choose assigned to a specific category (and set your category)

then next

choose move a copy to the specified folder(and specify a folder)

then next

add an exception if you want

and next

finish and save your rule

Finally when you compose a message click on the options button. At the bottom of the Options dialog box you can choose a category to match your rule.

I hope this helps - let us know if you have any further questions.

Kind regards,

Andrew

Outlook tip:

Change what you see when Outlook opens

Instead of viewing your emails when you first open Outlook, you can change the settings so that your startup view is different.

Here's how:

1. Go to Tools - Options - Other.

2. Change the startup folder under General Settings (e.g. to Calendar).

3. Click OK.
