How can I save my Outlook Sent Items on an IMAP folder?

You need to create a rule to move the sent message to a folder.

Steps to set up the rule.

• Select your Inbox under your IMAP account
• From the menus select Tools, Rules Wizard...
• In the Apply changes to this folder: box ensure your IMAP account is displayed
• Select New...
• Tick Start from a blank rule
• Select Check messages after sending then Next
• In the Which condition(s) do you want to check? window select Next
• A message will appear asking if the rule should be applied to every message you send, select Yes
• In the What do you want to do with the message? window
  • Tick move a copy to the specified folder
  • In the Rule description box select specified and navigate through the list to select the folder you want in your Hermes account (you also have the option to create a new folder)
• Select OK then Next
• Select Next again, skipping exceptions, then specify a name for your rule
• Select Finish then OK

Preventing the local copy to Sent Items

If you have set up the rule you may want to stop Outlook automatically copying your sent messages to your local Outlook Sent Items folder as well as the folder on Hermes.

Note: the Sent Items rule can be disabled without warning if there is a network interruption. If local Sent Items is disabled and the rule becomes disabled, no copies of sent mail will be saved.

• Select Tools, Options
• From the Preferences tab select E-mail Options...
• Uncheck Save copies of messages in the Sent Items folder
• Select OK
• Select OK again
