Every rule has an Apply Now button. That said, IMHO, it is a waste of time.
It is quicker to click on one message in the Preview Pane and then Ctrl+A
will highlight them all. Left click on the messages and just drag them to
the folder you created to save Sent messages. You're done in ten seconds.

Automatic rules only apply to incoming mail.

Your questions about MS Outlook or Eudora would have to be addresses in a
forum for those e-mail clients.

Hi,

How to apply a rule manually on the sent items folder?

I cannot run an automatic rule there, am i correct?

So i have to copy mails to another folder from the sent items system
folder
regularly, Am i correct?

Is there some other way - please inform.

Also does this apply to all mails clients like Eudora? MS Outlook? etc or
just for Outlook Express?

Do all email clients should have minimum local folders of under 100MB and
should avoid mails in the local default folders as it might corrupt the
mails
and data within?

Try to explain.

Akshay.

Hi,

Local folders and rules can be created for incoming messages but what
abt
a
folder like sent items where all sent messages are automatically
saved?

Do we have to move them manually from the sent item folder on daily
basis?

Pls guide.

Akshay.

It will depend on how you wish to sort your sent mail? By year Sent
2004,
Sent 2006 etc or To Work, To Joan? Create folders and rules then apply
them
manually on a regular basis.
