When messages come in I can create rules to aotmatically sort and move
them into folders, is there a way I can do this with messages that I
have sent? I like to keep track on my conversations and I am getting
tired of moving messages out of the sent folder. If there is no way
to automate this then maybe someone from Microsoft can take this a
suggestion to improve Outlook.

You can create rules for Sent messages in Outlook 2007, but not sure which
version you are using.

You can create after sending rules (look in rules wizard for the option -
its usually at the bottom). If you are replying to messages in folders
other than the inbox, see tools, options, email options, advanced options -
there is an option to sent items with the original if not in the inbox.

Those rules don't allow me to tell Outlook to put my new message "To
Someone" into folder "Someone".

Thanks this works great for replies and most of my messages are
replies.

Right, it won't work with variables - the folder needs ot exist and the rule
needs to use it (and the email address).

Look at Tools Options E-mail Options Advanced E-mail Options In
folders other than the Inbox, save replies with original message.

Is that what you want?

Yes, that works great for replies. I guess new messages still need to
be manually moved out of the SENT folder?
