Hi,
in Outlook 2007, when creating a rule for sent messages, you have no
option to MOVE the messages to a different folder, you can only make
Outlook COPY it.
Is there a custom action add-on around which I can download and install
to add this simple rule?

Please note that I cannot deactivate the option to save copies of sent
messages, because the rule I need would be applied only to some
messages, based on other conditions (e.g. containing a certain word in
the subject), all other sent mails must stay in the Sent folder.

And I cannot use some complex macro which I found searching on Google,
which had folder names and other stuff hardcoded in VB, because I need
the rule to be customized by a "normal" user.

Hmmm... maybe I can deactivate the option to keep copies of sent mails
and then create two rules: a first one which copies all sent mails in
the Sent folder, and a second one which copies specific messages to a
different folder... will it work? Any other solutions?

Thanks.

Ciao,
Marco.
