Default How setup Outlook to automatically ask which folder for sent msgs

I am converting from Pegasus to Outlook and I cannot find a way to configure
Outlook to "automatically" ask me which folder I want to put each sent
message in. I know you can go into "Options/Saved Sent Item" and change each
one but I want it to automatically ask me so I don't have to go through those
extra steps. Can this be done?

No, outlook 2007 won't ask each time - but you can choose the sent folder
for imap accts, unlike in previous versions. In all versions you need to
use VBA to choose a folder for each message or use after sending rules to
move them based on criteria. All versions also have an option to save sent
items with the original when replying to messages not in the inbox.
