'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?

Outlook | Web | Outlook.com | Settings

    Thanks for your response, Garcia.

    This is a huge gap in the functionality of the "new" Outlook. If Microsoft monitors this community, please bring this back:

    Until Microsoft fixes this, a workaround is to keep BOTH Outlook and Outlook (new) running on your PC. Use the old one when sending Emails, which allows the option of "Save Sent Item to...", and the new one for everything else.

    The new Outlook did solve some calendaring and synchronization issues for me, as it has iCloud & Gmail support built in. The old outlook required the "iCloud for Windows" add-in, and it was problematic at best.

    Let's go, Microsoft - get this "New" Outlook up-to-speed!!

    I have the same issue as I use the "Save sent item to..." function a lot. Rolling back to previous Outlook version as this is a must have for me.

    Thanks for the response, Alexander.

    Rolling back is a consideration for me, but the iCloud for Windows add-in for the old Outlook is problematic at best. The "New Outlook" solves a litany of synchronization issues from me between Outlook, Gmail, & iCloud.

    Gmail Email users who carry iPhones don't seem to be on Microsoft's radar screen.

    Come on, Microsoft - let's get the New Outlook up-to-speed!!
