What's going on with the trick to copy Sent Items to IMAP folder?
 

Hi, my name is Santiago.

I'm using Outlook 2003 SP2 in Spanish and now I change management of my
mail accounts. Now I manage them as IMAP accounts in the Outlook
although I knew in advance that Outlook 2003 "doesn't like IMAP
accounts very much" ;-)

I read about the trick to move a copy of sent messages using a rule.
I'm not stupid with computers and configurations at all... and I set
the rule and it didn't work. No message is copied to the selected IMAP
folder in the rule after I hit the Send button, although the rule works
when I apply manually in the local Sent Items (Elementos enviados in
Spanish) folder.

I tried creating a folder in the local tree (at the same level of local
Inbox, etc.) and I changed the rule to move a copy of the message to
that folder, so no connection to the IMAP server wouldn't happend, just
for test if the problem had been a connection problem to the IMAP
server. The result to my surprise was that no message was copied!!! And
then if I applied the rule manually over the Sent Items folder the rule
worked and message were copied.

I don't understand what's going on.

Also to work out a solution to the problem of Send Items folder in IMAP
accounts I download the evaluation version of UniSent addon but it
didn't worked to.

I started to think to program something in Outlook VBA (I looked for
something similar in www.outlookcode.com but I didn't find anything
usefull to me) but I'm afraid to begin programming something and then
has the same bad result because the Outlook (or me hehehe) is having a
problem.

I've got to mention that I've tried the Outlook 2003 SP2 in Spanish in
2 more computers and it resulted in the same behave.

If someone could help me with this I'll be very very happy.

Regards.

Good Evening,

I found helpful instructions he

Take a look at it and follow it carefully. If it doesn't work for you, then
you should maybe try reinstalling/fixing Outlook 2003.
