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

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

Actually, I think this started as not being able to choose where sent items go. In "old" outlook, you were able to go the mail options and uncheck the "save copies of messages in the sent items folder"

You could then create a rule to put the sent mail where you wanted it (mine was to my inbox):

This only worked when you were running on the client side (not in OWA) and if you weren't in client side it would put them in the SENT folder.

In "new" outlook, there isn't a way to do anything with sent mail. At least not in the version I'm using. My old rule did not transfer over and all of the new rules appear to be VERY limited in what you can do.

I did create a quick step to move stuff to inbox (where i want everything), but that's manual and it sucks. Especially since I use conversation mode (and you I haven't seen anything that lets me use different views for different folders ("old" outlook had that too).

Eventually we'll all be forced to move to "new" and over time will forget all the niceties of "old" and just muddle through. ARGH!!!!!!

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!

Not on mine, either.

PLEASE, Microsoft, add this selection to the Options bar on the "New" Outlook.

Have they brought this feature back yet? I hate new outlook, why do people always have to ruin their own product by removing things without asking.
