Prev: How do I set up a new email address for the first time?
Next: outgoing messages are not saved in the Sent Folder
From: John Oliver on 1 Jun 2010 15:51 I've added an IMAP account to my Outlook 2007 (in addition to my main Exchange account). Right now, all incoming mail is in the Inbox. All sent mail is in the Inbox. And deleted messages don't get deleted... they stay in the Inbox with a line through them. I'd like to have sent messages go to a Sent folder, and deleted messages go to a Deleted folder. How do I massage Outlook to accomplish this? -- * John Oliver http://www.john-oliver.net/ *

IMAP mirrors what's on the server so you don't get a deleted items folder.
From: Diane Poremsky [MVP] on 1 Jun 2010 17:15 Sent messages should go to the local Sent folder in Outlook - if they are going to your Inbox, you must be using Gmail. It's goofy. You can use rules to move messages to the Sent folder - disable the option to automatically save sent items then create 2 'after sending' rules, one for each account, that put the items in the correct folder when you send. Deleted messages are marked for deletion then purged. Use a view to hide deleted items so they aren't 'in your way'. Or upgrade to Outlook 2010 - it handles imap accounts better. -- "John Oliver" <joliver(a)john-oliver.net> wrote in message news:slrni0ap57.t29.joliver(a)ns.sdsitehosting.net... > I've added an IMAP account to my Outlook 2007 (in addition to my main > Exchange account).

Outlook 2010 will do that. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |
