'New Outlook' - how to save sent emails in a different folder instead of Sent folder

Anonymous

I have multiple subfolders for each of my projects. When I'm sending an email in my previous outlook, I was able to assign my email to a different subfolder than 'Sent Items' before I sent the email. I now don't see that as an option. How can I do this in the new Outlook?

The "rule" trick works, if you save your sent Email to the same place, or can identify by the recipient's Email where you want the sent items to go. What's critically missing from the "New" Outlook is the ability to do this "on the fly" with the "Save Sent item as...." feature in the "Old" (and better!) Outlook.

Wake up, Microsoft!

Yeah, that rule option doesn't work because it relies on "When new mail arrives", not when it's sent.

Tracy,

apologies, we must just have different versions :(

Have you tried the "Reply" work around, if you set the option to save replies in the folder sent from if it's not the Inbox?
Best of luck!

I also don't have the Save Sent Item To as an option in the toolbar:

Clicking on the More options in the tool bar just gets me this (was hoping the save to was there - argh!!!)

Outlook Version is:
