Wiley Q. Hacker wrote: Is there a way in Outlook 2003 to designate specific folders on the server as "special". For example, can I tell Outlook to treat the folder "Trash" on the server as "Deleted Items", "Spam" as "Junk E-mail" and "Sent" as "Sent Items"? No for Deleted Items and Junk E-mail. IMAP folders are always ordinary mail folders and can never be these special folders. However, you can place all your sent mail in the "Sent" folder on the IMAP server. Create a rule that runs when sending that moves a copy of all items to that folder. Click Rules and Alerts on the Advanced toolbar (or click ToolsRules and Alerts). Click New Rule. Select "Start from a blank rule", select "Check messages after sending", and click Next. Click Next again. You'll get a pop-up that says "This rule will be applied to every message you send. Is this correct?". Click Yes. Select the "move a copy to the specified folder" action and, in the lower pane, click "specified". Browse to the Sent folder in the IMAP message store, select it, and click OK. At this point you can either click Finish or click Next, which will allow you to specify any exceptions. Do so, if you want, and click Next or Finish. Clicking Next allows you to name your rule and enable or disable it. Of you reach this dialogue, select the options you want and click Finish. Finally, click ToolsOptionsE-mail Options and uncheck "Save copies of messages in Sent Items folder" or otherwise you'll get two copies of every outgoing message: one in Sent Items and one in the IMAP's Sent folder. I apologize for the 2nd post.. I tried to move an email to that same "inbox.sent" folder and i got this more detailed error: Can't move the items. The server responded: 'APPEND failed: Can't append to mailbox Inbox.Sent: no such mailbox'. It looks like this folder is some kind of special folder. I then tried to move that same email to another folder "spam" and it worked. Is this something that my Web Host has to deal with or should I simply recreate my "sent", "draft" and any other folder that I want to add a rule to? Thanks. Marc F. |

Here's something to try: Click ToolsE-mail AccountsNext. Select your IMAP account and click Change. Click More Settings, then Advanced. In the "Root folder path" field, enter INBOX. Click OK. Now reference your IMAP account. You may need to restart Outlook first. -- Brian Tillman |
